Alright, just got done watching Catwoman: Hunted, fun movie, I was really excited when Cheshire showed up and had so much in common with her Young Justice version.
Anyway, my question is, when does the series of events depicted in this movie (Or the version of this series of events) take place on Earth-16?

Mr. Weisman,

My Previous Question: In "Odnu!" we see the Earth-16 debut of the Phantom Stranger. Now, despite the ethnicity change (from Caucasian to African-American), is his real name identified as Judas Iscariot; like his New 52 counterpart (as indicated in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End #1")?

Your Response to My Question: I haven't read that - or any Pre-Rebirth New 52 comics. (That's not a comment on their quality. I just wasn't reading comics during that era and didn't hop back on again until Rebirth.) So if PS is JI, it's news to me. Not saying no. Just haven't thought about it at all to see if it fits with what I do know about the Earth-16 version of PS.

My Response to Your Response: The reason I had suspected that the Earth-16 version of the Phantom Stranger was likely based on the post-Flashpoint (Prime Earth) version of the character from the comics is because he is clearly branded with the 30 silver pieces on his attire; the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) version of the character does NOT have them. In post-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity, his origin was revealed in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger" Issue #0, but at the time, his identity as Judas Iscariot was implied, but NOT confirmed. His true identity as Judas Iscariot was officially confirmed during his narration in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End" Issue #1. At some point in his long life, he went by the name of Phillip Stark and had a wife (Elena Stark), a daughter (Allie Stark), and a son (Tim Stark); but unfortunately they are all deceased. It is also implied in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End" Issue #1 by Elena Stark that she and the Phantom Stranger have known each other for countless lifetimes LONG BEFORE she was Elena, although what that means is unclear and was never answered in the comics.

Was this helpful to you, or do you think that you might have to do some research on the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) and post-Flashpoint versions of the Phantom Stranger in order to create a new history for the Earth-16 version of the character?

I just want to confirm something. After Conner "died" at the start of season 4, everyone assumes he went to live on the Kent farm. I just figured he was visiting cause it's seems tradition that all the Kents and pets included go to visit. In short did Wolf really move in with Jonathan and Martha Kent after Conner died or was he just visiting?

This may surprise you, but I have question about how time travel works

First let me preface this by saying that I agree with your preferred method of doing time travel as closed loops. Nothing changes the past because it was part of the past. Avalon Part 2 has always been a favorite episode of mine because I always loved how cleanly you explained the two Archmages working in a loop together. But I also understand that DC comics as a whole doesn't work the same way. Some of DC's most iconic stories revolve around time travel, so we have to get messy and roll with it.

1. When Mantis (who is now the MVP of S4) set the Time Sphere back one day to get the Phantom Projector, he created a closed loop of time travel. He didn't alter the past in anyway that prevents his future self from doing the same thing when he arrives later. Basically, Zod's team can't find the PZ projector because it's already been taken into the past by Mantis. So closed loops are possible on Earth-16, but they aren't necessarily guaranteed and require some skill to pull off?

2. Now we get messy. In 2020, Child kills Teekl and de-corporealizes Klarion. Klarion then travels back to 2010 and hijacks the school bus. He then bounces around time for a while until he arrives back in 2020. After Child's defeat, the bus is sent back. So, this would also be a closed loop? The problem here though is that the timeline was altered several times after Team Year Zero. E.g Bart arrives in 2015 and alters history by preventing the Reach Apocalypse and so does Lor-Zod. But this means events would play out differently than the original timelines. Which means Child may not have killed Klarion in Bart's timeline. Not to mention someone else could alter history again and maybe prevent Klarion's death from ever happening in 2020. Yet from what we see, the school bus thing was always Klarion. I guess I want to understand how this could a closed loop of time travel like in Gargoyles, when history is also subject to change in Young Justice?

3. I like the Chronotron radiation rule. Basically, if someone is dosed in this radiation, they are immune, or in future Neutron’s case, semi-immune to changes in the timeline. So this may be a spoiler question since it involves a hypothetical scenario, but it is based off what we’ve seen already. Let's say someone time travels back to Team Year Zero and mucks up history, resulting in a new timeline. What would happen to Bart, Lod-Zod, the Legionnaires and I guess Mantis and M'comm, who have all been exposed to Chronotron radiation? If it makes them immune to changes in timelines, then it stands to reason they would be unaffected if someone else alters history even further back. We know that Bart's timeline is gone, but so far, he has stuck around, and the Legionnaires survived Lor-Zod's changes because of the radiation. So, does the radiation make you time-proof forever or do you just need to be in proximity to this radiation and have a strong enough dosage when the timeline is about to be alerted?

4. When speaking to the Legionaries, Superman asked why they don't use their time sphere to go back and try to save Superboy. I get that Superman may not know the rules of how it works, but this brings me to another hypothetical scenario. Let's say, after Lor-Zod's first failed attempt to kill Superboy at the UN, he decides to just go back in time earlier and try again rather than wait for another chance. So, if he went back, like say a week, knowing where Superboy was and killing him, that would change history. So, what would happen to the Lor-Zod who would show up the UN a week later? Since Past-Lor-Zod has Chronotron radiation, he is immune to changes in history. Would that include ones made by his own future self, going further back into the past? Similarly, let's say the Legionnaires did go back to save Superboy on Mars, they would run into their past selves, who like them are immune to changes in history due to Chronotron radiation. So, would the duplicates stick around or be erased from the timeline?

5. I'm a bit confused by Chameleon Boy expecting there to be changes after talking to Superman. He initially thinks they failed to reset the timeline, but then Saturn Girl brings up their exposure to Chronotron radiation making them immune to changes. I mean Bart resetting the timeline didn't make him disappear or send him back to his future so why was Chameleon Boy expecting something to happen? Am I missing something in this exchange or was it just a case of Chameleon Boy being optimistic?

Don't you think it's the silliest idea ever to call Captain Marvel "Shazam" ? The guy can't even introduce himself ! He can't say his own name without transforming ! There was one name in the entire universe that he couldn't have and precisely he got it !
Illogical and stupid, right ?

Paul writes...

Sorry, Mr. Weisman -- I should correct myself know and say that the more recent response from you that I just alluded to was on May 9th, 2022! So EIGHT years passed between you answering those two questions! Still, I hope you may remember.

Paul writes...

In a response dated Sept 16th, 2014, you said that you had an in-universe explanation for Troia and Mary being absent from the bridal shower in "Satisfaction".

Your response was: "Yes. (Both excuses are a bit feeble, to be honest.) But I can't reveal why each didn't attend without revealing SPOILERS about their stories, so..."

When I asked you just recently if you could reveal the in-universe explanation for Mary's absence, you responded on May 9th, 2021, with "Maybe. If I had one."

I'm sure you've just forgotten the reason for absence, since it's been 7 years since these two questions were read by you! A lot of time has passed. Nevertheless, since you once knew the answer to the question of why she was absent in-universe, is this something you could find out or remind yourself of? Maybe you have notes somewhere, or it's on the timeline, or it's a discussion that you have had with Brandon Vietti? I just thought I'd bring up that you did know the answer to this once, and I'm trying to jog your memory.

1) If a lord a chaos like Klarion can instinctively know that Superboy is in the phantom zone and go INTO the phantom zone to try to reach him, why can't a lord of order like Dr Fate do the same and be aware that Conner is alive ?
2) Same question for Phantom Stranger, who is almost omniscient and can enter nearly everywhere, including Fate's helmet.
3) If G lantern Forager went to die, would her ring's aura tell to the next GL the oath "forager's way" ? Like 'speak after me : beware Forager's power..." and the poor guy is gonna say a wrong oath because Forager can't speak at the first person ^^
Not sure you see what I mean here but I find it to be a funny situation.
4) It appears Lor-Zod doesn't know the name Savage. Does that mean that Vandal failed in conquering the galaxy in the future ?
5) Just saying, after seeing Rocket's arc, it's criminal that the show isn't renewed already. This is a masterpiece, and I think I can tell you guys have done the best superhero show ever with the Bruce Timm's Justice League. You've taken over what I thought could never be equaled.
Thank you for your amazing work, hope you'll be able to do season 5. To think you couldn't because no one renewed it...
Hurts deeply.

I got a question about making the green lantern TAS canon adjacent to young justice.

In the past, you and Brandon consiousoh avoided to be compared to other DC cartoons. Hence the reason you said you avoided casting people that had played the same roles before. Say you wouldn’t have casted Kevin Conroy as Batman.

You guys even had Beast Boys’s voice actor be the same as Teen Titans only because your original choice was not available anymore.

So…what made you change your mind and add a whole entire continuity, that being Green lancer TAS and make it canon adjacent to young justice?

If the relationship between Beast Boy and Perdita somehow ends up being confirmed as officially over (whether by the end of Season 4 or the "Young Justice: Targets" comics) even if Beast Boy's mental health improves, does that mean that Terra will end up becoming Beast Boy's new love interest?

FallenLegend writes...

Just some questions regarding the kryotonian prisioners.

1.-Metron was worried they could endanger the galaxy, and Darkseid seemed to agree as he offered Lor-Zid same "winner takes all" deal he offered to Savage

But isn't that an overeaction? Sure thet would all have the powers of Superman and that makes them formidable. But your version of Superman is explicitly made much less powerful than most interpretations.

Simply put it seems like they would have zero chance agains the magic characters like Dr fate from the league, or Klarion as they are all vulnerable to magic, let alone the full justice league.

Dr fate alone could just use a portal and take them to space they couldnt breathe, like space.

Icon, Superman, and Savage could also match some of them and so on

And potentially the villains ,like Black adam or the light wouldn't be to kin on being ruled by them.

Child seems to be the bigger threat desoie her only being the mid season villain.

2.- I know power varies wildly between individuals. But, judging by the fight between Orion and Lor-Zod, is it safe to assume that new gods, and powered krypotnians are in the same ballpark regarding strenght and durability?

3.- If not, which race is stronger and more durable on average?

Mr. Weisman,

Is the following quote from the comics also true in the Earth-16 universe in regards to the death of the Old Gods and the rise of the New Gods?

"There came a time when the Old Gods died! The brave died with the cunning! The noble perished, locked in battle with the unleashed evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust! The final moment came with the fatal release of the indescribable power â€" which tore the home of the Old Gods asunder â€" split it in great halves â€" and filled the universe with the blinding death-flash of its destruction! In the end there were two giant molten bodies, spinning slow and barren â€" clean of all that had gone before â€" adrift in the fading sounds of cosmic thunder... Silence closed upon what had happened â€" a long, deep silence â€" wrapped in massive darkness... it was this way for an age... THENâ€"THERE WAS NEW LIGHT!"

Hi Greg

a few questions then a thank you.

1) I read that Batman became Batman at the age of 21. Crazy young compared to other iterations of the character. What did his training look like before he became Batman? And was any of that training by Alfred?

2) How do you rate the combat prowess of Earth-16's Batman?

3) I absolutely loved your Nightwing & Roy vs Brick fight in S3. I always love seeing trained humans fighting metahumans.
How strong a metahuman can a well-trained human with standard vigilante gear defeat without relying on insta-win gadgets like red sun batons or kryptonite rings?

4)Would Nightwing have beaten Tommy Terror in a 1v1 if he wasn't focused on getting those kids out?

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for bringing attention to minority groups that never get attention in mainstream media.
Not just having a cameo of the week to "celebrate our differences", but actually making these people main characters.

As a kid the only faces of heroes I've seen were white. Guys who looked like me were often racist caricatures with thick accents like Leslie Chow or emasculated nerdy losers.
Even the "heroes" like Jackie Chan or Jet Li were considered others, not a real American. For the longest time, I didn't think of being an Asian-American male as something to be proud of.
Even though I was born and raised in the states, it was pretty clear that there were many who considered me a perpetual foreigner.
And I know I'm not the only ethnicity that's experienced this. A lot of us are "Outsiders" if you will.

It really means a lot to know that it's not just white faces that get to be heroes.

So thank you for bringing non-traditional faces to the screen.

In the latest arc of Young Justice, there is a subplot about Rocket learning to understand her son's autism through her interactions with Orion. I personally was very disappointed with the way that this arc resolved, and it just seemed to fall into the basic "overcoming narrative" tropes that have been so harmful to the disabled community (especially autistic folk) in the past. The arc also largely focused on everyone else's perceptions of the neurodiverse characters without giving much voice to Orion or Amistad to talk about their own experiences.

I'm wondering if you had anyone who was autistic or at least a disabilities activist working on/reviewing these episodes? If not, would you consider hiring someone to work on future stories that touch on these subjects?

Just so I can understand correctly, Dru-Zod and the rest of the Phantom Zone prisoners are from the present time, and they wouldn't know who the future Lor-Zod is even though Ursa would still be (presumably) one month pregnant with him right now. As such, should we assume that the future Lor-Zod will end up getting killed by his own father (presumably as a result of some kind of misunderstanding) and the present Lor-Zod will grow up to be a good guy instead...?

Mr. Weisman,

The Earth-16 version of Superboy does not have access to all of Superman's powers apparently because of his half-human, half-Kryptonian DNA. However, if Superboy ends up in a position where he is in a critical condition that requires him to get a blood transfusion from Superman, would he be able to gain access to all of Superman's powers as a result? The reason I am asking this question is because I am aware that red shields only provided a temporary solution in Season 1, but caused him to be more aggressive with each use. As such, I have been wondering if there was a possible solution that is permanent but does not cause him to become aggressive?
