Mr. Greg Weisman,

The Season One finale episode was the best episode ever next to "Usual Suspects." It's been a great first season, and I hope the second season does just as good. On to my questions for this particular episode.

1. Was the kryptonite that Robin used to stop Superman actually shaped like a bullet? I wasn’t sure since he moved it towards the screen rather quickly.

2. Batman was under the influence of Starro Tech when he said that Roy Harper was switched with his clone shortly after becoming Green Arrow’s protégé. Personally, I DON’T think Batman was telling the truth at that time (because heroes under the influence of mind-control never do tell the REAL truth). With that fact in mind, was the real Roy Harper on ANY of the past Season One episodes besides the brief appearance at Cadmus at the closing moments of the finale episode? It would be hard to believe that the clone has been around since 2007.

3. The six Starro Tech-controlled Justice League members who returned from their unknown mission appeared to be a nod to the two-part Justice League episode called “A Better World,” in which they were a group of anti-heroes called the Justice Lords in an alternate timeline. Am I correct with what I just said? Now that I think about it, were any other nods to other DC animated media during this entire season? If there was, then this must have been the only one that I’ve actually noticed.

4. Are Dr. Spence and all the Genomorphs at Cadmus dead… or were they just knocked out? Also, if Guardian WAS the cause of it (regardless of what their fate was), was it because he was also under the influence of Starro Tech as well?

5. Because Vandal Savage was registered as designation A04, I’m worried that if his designation is not removed, he can not only gain access to Watchtower, but to other locations such as The Hall of Justice and Mount Justice, and therefore all secret locations could be compromised. With the immediate crisis over, will Vandal Savage’s designation be removed from Justice League computer systems?

Thanks for taking the time to read my questions. Looking forward to the Invasion in the coming week!

Greg responds...

1. I don't remember the shape per se.

2. No. Batman (or rather Vandal using Batman as a mouthpiece) used the partial truth to create a more convincing lie.

3. Not particularly. It was more of just a general nod to the Justice League series as a whole.

3a. Probably. None that leap out at me.

4. Knocked out.

4a. By now you know Guardian was a clone too. So, no, it wasn't Starro-Tech. It was his Cadmus programming.

5. Of course.
