First off I want to preface this with saying that I completely love what you've done with Khalid, how his story is interwoven into his magic style and even mannerisms like berating himself for missing Trogowog aftercare, how his faith has been integrated and everything he means to people.

That said I had some mixed feelings based on how he is as an adaption, and was hoping you could shed some light into the thought processes that were carried out when adapting him, to hopefully put those mixed feelings to rest.

1) So, the first question is about how his religion was adapted. But hopefully something a little different to what youve been defending ad nauseum. In the comics, Khalid isnt muslim, instead he doesnt really have a personal faith, but struggles due to the influences of his muslim father, christian mother and the Egyptian Gods who make themselves known to him and the role hes to play. And, with angels, jimm, and ofc Bast, looking over him ans his role. I have a particularly strong connection with the Egyptian faith, so that was a major appeal to me.

So my first question is why the decision was made to simplify Khalid's religious experiences for Young Justice as seems to be the case?

2)Speaking of Khalid's christian mother, in the original she is Elizabeth Nassour, with her connection to Kent making her a little more in the know to the entire sorcery elements including Bast's presence, while her occupation as an archaeologist not only fit well to the history of the Nelson family, but let her show her own personal strenth and specialication.

For YJ, it appears as though you have replaced her with Jane Nassour, who seems to have a very different approach to the Life, in spite of sharing Elizabeth's connection to Kent so seeming to be intended as the same character. I am curious to the reasoning on this change, particularly the name since that seems like an odd thing to change even irrespective of the other changes?

3) I had always gotten the impression that the Khalid Nassour Doctor Fate was largely created because someone wanted to do a story about Ibis, but DC wanted the bigger brandname; due to how the series retconned (which was retconned back) Nabu to simply be a priest of Thoth/Zehuti, with a perculiar staff akin to the Ibistick being instrumental in their arsenal, and the blood of the Pharaohs, that made him the candidate. The Ibis family, or at least the Ibistick, is commonly seen among Zatanna and Zatara's possessions.

So my third question is if this were a partial inspiration for the connection that you forged between Zatanna and Khalid?

4) I found the usage of water in Khalid's Test particularly inspired, given the way that death by drowning is treated in Islam. The comic had somewhat similar notions in the first story, with Anubis' floods and Mohammad Nassour trapped in it until being rescued.

I was curious if this particular element was inspired by the comics usage of water, or if MPAC and other resources lent towards this particular meaningful affect (or other reasons I am not considering of course)?

5) Khalid being from Egypt ethnically was a fairly significant point to his comic character, with a further struggle between the balance between Fate duties (to an Egyptian Goddess guardian), modern american med student life with his girlfriend, and his childhood friend with an unrequited crush trying to push him towards social activism against the atrocities being committed by the Egyptian government. Along with immigrant elements, with his father (which would fit quite well with Giovannis story).

So, my question is somewhat tangential to that. Egypt has a high proportion of Sufi Islam, which has elements of mysticism understood to come from Allah, which feels very reminiscent of how Khalid and Mohammed felt that his sorcery was a gift from Allah that needed to be used for his purposes. I was curious if this Sufi connection had been discussed with MPAC and integrated accordingly, or if it is just a happy coincidence?

I know you've implied Traci is still LGBT+ in the show, but it's a bit disheartening to see a character who has canonically been a lesbian in the comics for years dating a guy with no mention of her sexuality. I still appreciate your dedication to portraying LGBT+ and particularly bi characters, though, and was very glad to see Harper and Violet get together. Are there any characters in the show that are lesbians or otherwise LGBT+ (besides Ed and [redacted character you haven't been allowed to make canon] that you can discuss? I've always gotten a feeling about Mist and Livewire, idk why.

Mr. Weisman,

I think I may be getting ahead of myself, but I suspect that when Kara sees Kal-El and Jonny Kent, I think that she will assume that the former is her uncle, Jor-El, and that the latter is her cousin, Kal-El; assuming she has already seen Kal-El as an infant prior to Krypton's destuction. I don't know what she'll think about Kon-El if she sees him, but I hope that she does not have a hatred for clones like her New 52 counterpart...

According to Brainiac-5 (Querl Dox), he calculated a 99.84% likelihood that the timeline has been substantially restored.

Mr. Weisman,

When Miss Martian angrily yelled at Lor-Zod to "Stop trying to kill my man!," was the reason because the Legionnaires had informed her off-screen that Lor-Zod was the one who tried to kill Superboy in the United Nations (in 2019) and on Mars (in early 2020); which in turn really pissed her off by the revelation?

Hi, greg. How r u doing?

1) how do u deal with such negativity that YJ keeps getting? Like, you know the majority still likes ur show, but i still see ppl saying YJ isn't good since season 1 - but i also see ppl saying that but instead of 1 is 2. A lot of the bad things ppl say about YJ is so strange. I wouldn't be surprise if one person say they don't like the show because, idk, dick walks strangely (Just an example).

2) LOVED the fact that the ice guy went to the wedding and that you voiced that guy who marries them.

3) did dick grayson became nightwing as a teenager(since jason is robin in Team Year 3) or he had a normal life for a time and then he became nightwing?

4) in the reach apocalypse, how did bart know who the heroes were? (Their names). They formed a rebellion? If u could tell more about that timeline, pleaseeee say it. Probably i'll get a no spoilers, but still.

5) are there lgbt ppl in spectacular spider-man?

6) do u plan more than one big big story? - the darkseid one and another i mean.

Sorry for any mistake. And if you could skip at least 1000 years in the next season, it'd be nice :)

Mr. Weisman,

1. It was stated that Kara Zor-El was sent into Phantom Zone alone decades ago. Based on this statement, it sounds like that event took place prior to Kyrpton's destruction, and I strongly suspect that it was her parents' idea in order to save her. However, the one thing that confuses me is that if Zor-El and Alura-EL intended to sent Kara away, why put her in the Phantom Zone; as opposed putting her on her own ship and have it follow Kal-El's ship like in the comics (even though we would know she would have been delayed by decades due to unfortunate circumstances)?

2. It was stated that Kara Zor-El, like Mary Bromfield, was betrayed, but how is that possible? With Mary, I can understand because that's how she felt when Zatanna excluded her from the Doctor Fate rotation plan. With Kara, however, we've seen no evidence to suggest she suffered some kind of betrayal. Unless, perhaps, she met General Dru-Zod at some point and he told her lies about what her family, or maybe she suffered from Phantom Zone sickness during her time there...?

In regards to Lor-Zod's death (which was absolutely diabolically clever, if you ask me!), am I correct to assume that no one (except Metron) will ever know the truth of what happened to him; much like how none of the heroes will ever know the truth about what happened to the real Ocean-Master (who was killed by Lady Shiva)?

Can you please describe Kryptonian naming customs in Young Justice?

Storyseeker writes...

I have to ask about Nightwing surviving the season 4 finale of Young Justice , because frankly I just find it all so hard to believe?

It just felt so unrealistic; first by willingly cutting himself to fake his death injury (as if anyone wouldn’t at least bleed after being thrown into a statue and then have the thing fall on top of you), and then slowing down his own heartbeat to a stop. No one can slow their heartbeat down to a full-stop, and it’s not as if someone with super-hearing couldn’t tell whether someone was really dead.

I'm sorry, but even now I'm still expecting Nightwing to turn around and suddenly reveal that he's either a ghost, an imposter or some other big shocker.

I was surprised at the ending, too. When they introduced Darkseid’s new furies, I was expecting them to be the Legionaires, as I thought Brainiac was an imposter who was sent to get them. Personally, I thought they should be killed, as it makes the future more interesting when you don’t know what’s coming. Granted, we were told the future was only about 99.84% corrected, so we don’t know what’s changed, but we know it must be good because of Brainiac’s presence…etc.

Mr. Weisman,

I have to be honest with you here; you gave me quite a scare in regards to Nightwing's head injury. The reason I say this is because I was afraid that Nightwing was going to end up becoming amnesiac and become Ric Grayson; which happened in the comics. Let me say now that I am one of (presumably) many people who hated the whole Ric Grayson storyline in the comics because he went through all kinds of hell before he finally got his memory back. When it was revealed that he faked his own head injury and still retained his memory in the Season 4 finale, I was relieved and happy that he was all right. As such, I wanted to thank you so much for NOT turning Dick Grayson into Ric Grayson.

Mr. Weisman,

Here is my second set of interview-style questions centering around Mary Bromfield after seeing the Season 4 post-credits scene. Just like with the previous set of questions for Kara Zor-El, please answer them as detailed as possible.

#1. Let’s start off with the opening question: What was the idea of having Mary Bromfield have a power addiction problem in Season 4? I clearly don’t remember this ever happening in the comics; unless I overlooked some specific reading material?

#2. Anyone who has read “Final Crisis” would have likely/easily figured out Mary’s turn to villainy based on what happened in the post-credits scene in the mid-season 4 finale. Her costume while as a member of the Female Furies is based somewhat on her Black Mary appearance from the comics. What was the decision behind these changes; in comparison to what we know from the comics (in which her attire was more Apokoliptian and also having pink hair during the events of “Final Crisis”)?

#3. In a post-credits scene for one of the Season 4 episodes (“Beyond the Grip of the Gods!”), Mary was being considered as a potential candidate for the Justice League Reserves. However, the problem here is that none of the heroes at this point in time knows that she is now a villain. As such, do you believe that she might just play along and join the Justice League Reserves and then surprise everyone with a massive heart-breaking betrayal later, or do you believe that Mary will likely NOT be the type of person who would willingly play a game of deception and would instead prefer getting straight to the point and go full-on villain right from the start? Which scenario, in your honest opinion, seems more plausible?

#4. As we both know, Mary’s turn to villainy is essentially Zatanna’s fault. As such, in your honest opinion, what can we potentially expect from everyone’s reactions once the truth eventually comes out; especially in regards to the lengths that Zatanna went through in order to get her father back (since, considering what I’ve read on the internet, this makes Zatanna more manipulative than Batman)? Furthermore, Mary’s turn to villainy will undoubtedly affect Billy Baston, who considers Mary to be one of his best friends and she is also his sister. As such, once Billy eventually learns the truth about Mary, how badly do you think this will damage their relationship; even if he somehow gets personally involved and manages to save her at some point in Season 5 (since Freddy Freeman DID save Mary during “Final Crisis” in the comics)?

#5. Going into Season 5, is it safe to correctly assume that part of Mary’s story arc may likely/potentially involve her attempting to get revenge on Zatanna for being excluded from the Doctor Fate rotation plan? Would Mary even potentially dare to go as far as willing to kill Zatanna; assuming her hatred towards her former mentor really goes deep? Or perhaps, would Mary even be willing to go as far as to potentially kill Zatanna’s father; just to get back at Zatanna for her “betrayal” towards her and to make Zatanna suffer both emotionally and psychologically?

#6. By making Kara and Mary become the members of the Female Furies, this is how I interpret the possible situation concerning both of them going into Season 5: Mary started off as a hero, but has now become a villain, and the possibility of her redemption will seem low (depending on her actions in Season 5). Kara starts off as a villain, but she will probably find redemption, and will ultimately become a hero. Is my interpretation of the situation concerning Kara and Mary correct? Did you set Up Kara and Mary in such a position so that these two will ultimately go down polar opposite paths over the course of Season 5?

Anonymous writes...

Mr. Weisman,

In light of the post-credits scene in the Season 4 finale, I am giving you a set of interview-style questions centering around Kara Zor-El. Please answer them as detailed as possible.

#1. Let’s start off with the opening question: How does it feel to FINALLY be able to introduce Kara Zor-El into the Earth-16 universe?

#2. You’ve introduced Kara Zor-El in a unique twist; her being a member of the Female Furies alongside Mary Bromfield. Granted, anyone who’ve read the “Supergirl” story arc from the “Superman/Batman”comics (issues #8-13) or have watched the “Superman/Batman: Apocalypse” animated movie would obviously expect that this move was going to happen one way or another. Nevertheless, what ultimately made you decide that this would be the best way to introduce Kara Zor-El; as opposed to what we’ve already seen at least twice in the comics (in which her pod arrives and crash-lands on Earth)?

#3. I going to make a MASSIVE assumption on my part here and will guess that Kara’s presence will have a MAJOR impact on her fellow surviving House of El members on Earth; this being Kal-El (her first cousin), Kon-El (her “half-cousin”), and Jonny Kent (her first cousin once removed). What kind of interactions should we expect her to have with all three members of her family? And by interactions, I mean when she initially meets them (presumably while still a member of the Female Furies), AND later spending time with them to get to know them better (presumably after she switches sides and joins the heroes)?

#4. Aside from her family members, are there any specific interactions you are looking forward to see happen between Kara Zor-El and members of the Team and the Outsiders; considering these are people who would be around her age?

#5. In terms of the direction Kara’s potential story arc will likely go for Season 5; is it safe to correctly assume that Kara Zor-El is NOT meant to be a villain for the entirety of that season? Also, considering what we know from the “Supergirl” story arc from the “Superman/Batman” comics and the “Superman/Batman: Apocalypse” animated movie, can we expect that either Kal-El or Kon-El will likely have to risk their own lives in order to save Kara?

#6. A major concern I have going into Season 5 is that Kara would be the third person in the House of El who “breaks bad”; this previously being Kal-El (during the end of Season 1; due to being brainwashed by Starro-tech) and Kon-El (during the second half of Season 4; due to Phantom Zone Sickness). At this point in time, given what Kon-El nearly did in the final two episodes of Season 4 (almost killing Kal-El before he changed his mind, and briefly fighting his friends before his mind was fixed), we still don’t know if there will be any major consequences coming out from his actions; considering they were publicly broadcasted (and that begs the question as to whether there will be people who will be afraid of Superboy?). As such, how worried should we be that Kara Zor-El might end up publicly disgracing the name/reputation of the House of El due to her being a member of the Female Furies?

#7. There is also the matter of Kara’s Supergirl costume; as you are aware, there are many versions of them (like the one from the comics, the Smallville Season 11 costume, the two Arrowverse Supergirl costumes, the DCEU Supergirl costume, etc.). As such, do you already have a specific version in mind for when Kara finally becomes Supergirl in the Earth-16 universe, or are you still deciding at this point in time?
