I had a query about the timeline relating to Beast Boy's activities during Zatanna's arc. I genuinely don't mean this as some sort of gotcha, but while writing up Gar's wiki entry I got a bit confused.

In Teg Ydaer, for the timestamp May 14 00:23PDT, Beast Boy is sleeping on the couch as the Outsiders are about to begin a mission. Later the same episode, the Outsiders return from their mission to find Gar still asleep. Later still, he is asleep in bed with lots of pills on his nightstand.

But in the next episode, we get the timestamp May 14 02:37PDT. Gar is on the set of Space Trek, and it appears he has been there for quite some time. It seems we are supposed to infer there has been a long and unproductive day of shooting. Yet it is just over two hours after he was first seen sleeping on the couch in the previous episode. Perhaps the final scene of Gar in bed from Teg Ydaer is supposed to be after the Space Trek scenes in Og Htrof Dna Reuqnoc, but it still doesn't make sense for the rest to be so close together. How fast was that mission against the Headmaster?

Actually the whole of the timing of Garfield's plot in the arc seems off. His sleeping on the couch in Teg Ydaer comes just three and a bit hours after her fell asleep in bed with the first sleeping pills in the previous episode (May 13 21:05PDT). After getting the over the counter pills, he has a load of what look like prescription pills less than 24 hours later.

To me it seems at least three days worth of activity has been crammed into just over 24 hours. Is there an error in the timestamps, or am I missing something?

In Royal We, we see that darkwear distorts the wearer's face on cameras.

1) Is the distortion caused by the contact lenses or the mask?

In Leverage and The Prize, the possibility of Amanda Waller outing the Team is taken very seriously. But in True Colors, G. Gordon Godfrey claimed to have already outed the League's covert ops unit, presumably after getting info from Tseng after the Watchtower was revealed. Members of the Team would also have been seen during the coverage of events in Markovia in Nevermore. It seems like the existance of the Team is already known, and it doesn't appear, at least as of Leverage, that Waller knows much about it apart from that it exists.

2) What exactly did Godfrey reveal about the Team?
3) How much does Waller know about it?

1) Can humans who are not Homo magi use magic without the aid of magic artefacts?
2) Is Orin's power to communicate with sea life a meta ability or magical? Or a bit of both like Beast Boy?
3) Is Delphis's light power part of her meta ability or has she learned Atlantean magic?

In War, we saw the Warworld has different coloured drones with different purposes; red for defense, yellow for repair.

In the Ebb Tide end credits, we see black drones. What do they do?

Hi Greg, I have a couple of Bumblebee related questions.

In Terminus, we see Jennifer Pierce dressed up in a Bumblebee costume.

1) Did Bumblebee become a public hero?
2) If so, was she a member of the Justice League?
3) If she wasn't public, how did Jennifer know about her? I know there was a reference to Karen and Mal babysitting a lot of metas, but I wouldn't have thought they'd do it in costume.
4) Neither Karen nor Mal appeared to be active as heroes during season 3. Had they left permanently, or were they on parental leave?

Since the heroes have to do an annual mental wellness check with Black Canary, who does she go for her own mental wellness check? Does Black Canary go to M’gann for her mental wellness check or another counsellor/therapist? Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.

M’chiste was a purist, but in 4x16 we see him with some atlanteans who the purist considered impure. Has he changed his purist views in between the comics and kaldur’s arc?

1. When will you stop hurting us with the Wally West illusions they hurt and make me feel pain every damn time also is Wally West the harbinger of insanity and nervous breakdowns, because Nightwing, Beast Boy, Artemis and Superboy's fall to insanity coping mechanism seems to be illusions of our one and Only Wall-Man.
2. I like how Conner's illusions of Wally also look like a phantom,my heart skipped a beat when that happened and not at all fair guys, not at all fair.
3. I didn't really understand what Saturn Girl meant by being too far from their original timeline and I have seen enough Doctor Who to get timey-wimey stuff, so does that mean the Legion is way too involved with this new timeline and as a consequence of this exposed to Chronoton Radiation and thus they can't reset back too their own timeline.
4. I like how Superman cringes to get on board and please let us get out of the way, who came up with this joke I want them to have my sincerest gratitude.

1. So Beast Boy has talked about dealing with the grief of losing Tula, Jason Todd, Ted Kord and Wally. Does that mean he was actually close to all 4 of them or did he just name them for the sake of naming people who have died.
2. In particular how did Beast Boy know Jason Todd since he joined the team in Year 5, but Jason had to have died prior to Year 5 since Tim Drake is already a member of the Team by Year 5 February 18, and was present at Tula's funeral.
3. Also Tula, Chief, Rita Farr, Negative Woman, Ted Kord all died in Year 5, does that mean Year 5 is the most depressing year for the Team.
4. Why did Zatanna let Mary absorb powers and reprimand her early on for doing things like absorbing their powers without consent was this on purpose or was she actually unable to do anything in that moment and was actively distracted with dealing with the current situation at hand.

1. I like that you brought Coral back I always liked her design, the idea to have the former students also studying together in the conservatory who are all going to be important players in Atlantean Royalty for some reason I can't help but ask does this have a basis in our actual history, or is the Conservatory just the best school of sorcery where the elite go.
2. So how does the politics of Atlantis work, like are there only eight cities that constitute Atlantis which from my understanding are Poseidonis, Crastinus, Nanauve, Tritonis, Lemuria, Neptunos, Shayeris, and Xebel. And since all of these cities are so far from each other they might as well be separate Kingdoms, so how does this system of governance work. Like do these eight states have separate laws, or is Atlantis more like an European Union. basically what I am asking is how do they actually connect with each other if they are well so far apart and why are then they even part of a single Kingdom.
3. Do these eight states also have different means of electing leaders of their respective states because Nanauve is represented by a King while Lemuria has a Prime Minister and Tritonis has a General are all these elected democratically or is there a monarchy and separate cities too which ensures they all get seats as rulers or are their elections.
4. Now here for me things are getting more complicated but correct me if I am wrong, Orin is the King of Atlantis which is something he inherited from his family bloodline not by an election, which is why Orm is the Prince. So is the King of Poseidonis automatically also the King of Atlantis since Poseidonis is the capital of Atlantis or are their elections for this.
5. Does Orin actually have powers as King of Atlantis or are those power only ceremonial and he only has the ability to actually excersise his rule in Poseidonis only since you have previously said Atlantis is a Constitutional Monarchy.

Greg I will be very honest I like history and I love alternate history, I personally love the world building you have done and honestly would have no problems storming the WB headquarters or wherever you are supposed to storm off to demand an Altantis Spinoff, but not having like a proper map aside from the subtle one that we saw in Episode 14, the more I think about Atlantis Politics the more headaches I have since it's impossible to exactly understand what's going on with the Politics and I can also understand your limitation with so many arcs and so many characters. Hopefully one day you will release the history of Atlantis book or just share an image detailing the history of Atlantis. But for now I will be content with a season 5 announcement for which I am hoping so badly.

1. Really loving the Aquaman arc, now onto my question we know Ronal was a purist in issue 15 of young justice comic before he saw Ocean master's true intentions and became disillusioned and is now no longer a purist, is this assumption correct or does Ronal still has purist aims. I do think the purist stuff seems less obvious for him since he does respect if not like Lori. Can you help clear this up.
2. Now Ronal knew Wyynde and Chian were also purist since they are all unmasked together, does that mean Ronal quickly revealed to Orin they also were purists after which they had to be reformed or did Ronal keep their secret and atleast Wyynde (if not Chian since we don't know about her) also reformed at a much later time. I mean it doesn't make sense if Orin asked and Ronal didn't reveal who the rest of the purist were. Even in Ep 14 Nautical Twilight Aqualad says to Lori that was 10 years ago defending Wyynde so does that mean both Wyyne and Chian reformed at the same time as Ronal or is there a gap of months where both Wyynde and Chian continued to take part in Purist missions.
3. Did Orm actually care about being a purist aside from seeing at as a meant to an end, because I am curious would Orm actually care about wasting life especially since he was associated with the Light, and so even if Orm actually became ruler of the seven seas, would he actually go forward with the so called purist supremacy. You have said previously it's all just a pretense if not latent, so basically does that mean he would only go forward with more purist agenda if it fulfilled his agendas or would he do this say when he has no agendas ass such.
4. Was Topo's scar permanent the one he was branded with by the purist.
5. Lori seemed pretty cold to Wyynde in the Aquaman arc and still has grudges against him in season 4 however in the issue 15 of young justice she stops King Shark from hitting Ronal after Ronal fought against Ocean Master, even defending him was that only her being a diplomat and she still had grudge against Ronal too or did she forgive Ronal after he betrayed the Ocean Master.

Mr. Weisman,

If I understand this correctly, the difference in the chaos-based actions between Klaron and Child appears to be that the former causes "constructive chaos" and Child causes "chaos just for the hell of it." Am I correct in this interpretation? If not, then how do you interpret it?

Mr. Weisman,

In regards to Artur (the son of Aquaman and Mera), is his full name Artur Joseph Curry? This question assumes that the Earth-16 version of this character, who was known as Arthur Curry Jr. in pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity), is also partially based on second Aquaman (who was named Arthur Joseph Curry), but in middle and last name only.

Is Ocean-Master's hatred towards Aquaman is, in part, because of the latter's half-human, half-Atlantean origin?

Hi, Greg! Loved the Phantoms second half premiere. Just a couple questions that came to me while watching.

1. Since Robotman was present in the Premiere Building and we heard the Zeta Tube powering down, is it safe to assume that he was given an A designation?

2. Since we know Superman spoke to Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy immediately before flying to Agra (where we have previously seen him in Og Htrof Dan Reuqnoc), was he already considering suggesting the Justice League Reserve system to Black Lightning before speaking to the Legionnaires? Or did their talk lead him to the idea?

3. Every graduation I've ever seen or been to, the graduating class is seated alphabetically by last name. Since Harper and Violet are sitting together, can we assume that one of them has had a surname change? Or is Happy Harbor an outlier?
