Hi Greg,
Big fan of your show(s)! Young Justice is absolutely BRILLIANT! I'm a fan from South Asia, where episodes are delivered very delayed, so some of my YJ may be outdated. Anyhow, two questions:
1. What's with all the random hiatuses? I understand they may be necessary, but it truly irks some fans (like myself).
2. Was there always supposed to be a jump from 2010 to 2016? Or was it brought up out of the blue? If the latter: what caused it? And what would've happened if there WASN'T a time jump? Would the current events be the same?
Big fan! Cannot wait for more episodes (and less hiatuses).

Greg Weisman says:
"While developing Season One, we had a solid idea of what we had in mind for Season Two - including the time skip. And we had/have solid ideas for Season Three, including another time skip."

"We planned on this time jump from day one. Because we knew, again, that if our show's about growing up, then you can't show a character grow up in 6 months' time. So the idea is that our first season told 6 months from July 4th to January 1st. Our second season tells another 6 months from January 1st to July 4th, but there's a 5-year gap in-between that we planned."
