Hi Greg,

Will you be the supervising director and writer for the show? Also I have another question, but I know you probably cant answer it. But its been driving me crazy to ask. I'm hoping you guys dont kill the new Aqualad character because he's such a cool looking character either it's the cartoon version or the comic version and since you were one of the creaters of the character did you expect the character to have such good feedback from the hardcore dc fans? Seriously every comic board that spoke about the new aqualad they all loved his look and intriguing obscure background story.You've stated in an interview that there were going to be 2 regulars added to the show in first season. So are you still going to be able to maintain the character driven storylines you've created in your previous shows without have too much on your plate. As you said that theres a 16 member Justice League and that this is really a DC Universe show. Will you still have the main focus on these six teens? As the JLU focused on many characters in the dc universe in different episodes which you never got to really grow to and love the characters as fans did with cartoons such as: Batman The Animated, The Spectacular Spiderman, Gargoyles, Superman The Animated Series, Batman Beyond and Static Shock they were all character driven shows. Will the show be similar in tone to the show?

I'm one of two producers on Young Justice. I'm the writer producer and Brandon Vietti is the directing producer. But both of us work very hard on the entire product.

Has Aqualad had good feedback? Cool!

The focus for the entire season is absolutely on our six leads (Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis). And I think our show is very character driven. If you've seen my other work (Gargoyles, W.I.T.C.H., Roughnecks, Spectacular Spider-Man), you must know that I'm accustomed to juggling huge casts without losing focus.

But tone is something different. Every series has it's own unique tone. Or at least it should
