Hey Greg, loving Young Justice so far, so keep up the good work! I just had a few questions in mind that I hope aren't simply in the annoying "no comment" territory as they mostly pertain to the choices you and others involved have made as opposed to just spoilers.

1. Was there ever discussion to use Tim Drake or Jason Todd instead of Dick Grayson for Robin? Personally, Grayson is my favorite, but I'm a huge fan of how you've incorporated some Drake-traits into him. This is probably my favorite incarnation of the character in any medium that I've seen!

2. I LOVE the inclusion of the ranking system for the teams. Who decided on which people should be ranked above others (outside of the obvious Superman-1, Batman-2, etc)? Was that a subject that caused a lot of debate amongst the writers?

3. I'm curious...I can see why Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, and Lex Luthor are in The Light, but why the others? Queen Bee seems to be getting quite a bit of screen time for someone a little out of the mainstream. Was the choice of using people like her, Brain, Sportsmaster, and others that are frequently showcased just a matter of the writers/producers really liking those characters or is there a plan set in motion?

4. What was the design process of Riddler like? His look is quite different in some ways than what I was expecting.

Thanks in advance. I'm really looking forward to Invasion and what comes after that as well!

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED. (And what hasn't been answered is a SPOILER.)

2. It's not a ranking system. Designations are based on the order of entry into either the League or the Team, etc. So, no, no debate. Cause it's objective not subjective.

3. Both, probably.

4. Same as with all our characters. Brandon, Phil and I talk. Phil comes up with something brilliant. We either love it instantly or ask for a few minor tweaks, and then it goes to final.
