Mr. Weisman,

I made a mistake in an earlier posting. Here is the CORRECT portion of that posting.

#3. Bette Kane’s Biological Family Relationships:

Unnamed father
Unnamed mother
Thomas Wayne (paternal uncle)
Martha Kane-Wayne (paternal aunt)
Bruce Wayne (paternal cousin)
Damian (first cousin)
Jacob “Jake” Kane (paternal uncle)
Gabrielle Lorna “Gabi” Goldstein-Kane (paternal aunt)
Katherine Rebecca “Kate” Kane (paternal cousin)
Elizabeth Marie “Beth” Kane (paternal cousin)
Nathan Kane (paternal uncle)
Philip Walton Kane (paternal uncle)

In the previous posting, I actually identified Nathan Kane as Bette's maternal uncle; when it is ACTUALLY supposed to be PATERNAL. Sorry about that! :)

Mr. Weisman,

Is the following biological family relationships correct in the Earth-16 universe? If not, please explain why.

#1. Bruce Wayne’s Biological Family Relationships:

Thomas Wayne (father)
Martha Kane-Wayne (mother)
Damian (son)
Jacob “Jake” Kane (maternal uncle)
Gabrielle Lorna “Gabi” Goldstein-Kane (maternal aunt)
Katherine Rebecca “Kate” Kane (maternal cousin)
Elizabeth Marie “Beth” Kane (maternal cousin)
Unnamed maternal uncle (Bette Kane’s father)
Unnamed maternal aunt (Bette Kane’s mother)
Mary Elizabeth “Bette” Kane (maternal cousin)
Nathan Kane (maternal uncle)
Philip Walton Kane (maternal uncle)

#2. Kate Kane’s Biological Family Relationships:

Jacob “Jake” Kane (father)
Gabrielle Lorna “Gabi” Goldstein-Kane (mother)
Elizabeth Marie “Beth” Kane (twin sister)
Thomas Wayne (paternal uncle)
Martha Kane-Wayne (paternal aunt)
Bruce Wayne (paternal cousin)
Damian (first cousin)
Unnamed paternal uncle (Bette Kane’s father)
Unnamed paternal aunt (Bette Kane’s mother)
Mary Elizabeth “Bette” Kane (paternal cousin)
Nathan Kane (paternal uncle)
Philip Walton Kane (paternal uncle)

#3. Bette Kane’s Biological Family Relationships:

Unnamed father
Unnamed mother
Thomas Wayne (paternal uncle)
Martha Kane-Wayne (paternal aunt)
Bruce Wayne (paternal cousin)
Damian (first cousin)
Jacob “Jake” Kane (paternal uncle)
Gabrielle Lorna “Gabi” Goldstein-Kane (paternal aunt)
Katherine Rebecca “Kate” Kane (paternal cousin)
Elizabeth Marie “Beth” Kane (paternal cousin)
Nathan Kane (maternal uncle)
Philip Walton Kane (paternal uncle)

NOTE #1: Martha, Nathan, Philip, Jacob, and an unnamed man (Bette Kane’s father) are siblings in the Kane family, but it is unclear as to the order of oldest to youngest amongst them. Martha is the only one who has appeared in some form in the Earth-16 universe; her brothers have NOT yet made an appearance.

NOTE #2: I assume that Damian will likely only be addressed as first cousin to Kate and Bette in the Earth-16 universe. In the DC Database Wiki, he is identified as Kate’s first cousin once removed and as Bette’s first cousin; specifically in Prime Earth continuity.

NOTE #3: In regards to the full names on the lists, I am assuming that any “nicknames” used are placed between the middle and last names. I do not know if that also applies in Earth-16 canon for them and other people; if this is NOT correct, please correct them accordingly.

Since you said that Green Lantern:TAS is YJ adjacent, would Batman: Under the Red Hood also be YJ adjacent?

Mr. Weisman,

Is the following missing relationships correct from the point of view of Earth-16's version of Zor-El?

Lara-El (formerly Lara Lor-Van) (sister-in-law)
Alura-El (formerly Alura In-Ze) (wife)
Kara Zor-El (daughter)

Mr. Weisman,

I just realized something important after the recent YJ episode (at the time of this posting): IF "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" is now "canon adjacent," and a similar but distinct version of the events in that short-lived cartoon series happened in the Earth-16 universe, it would ALSO mean that this is the FIRST-EVER instance in which a DC Comics-related animated work that you were NOT personally involved in whatsoever is considered "canon adjacent."

This would mean it would also be somehow be possible for other DC Comics-related animated works to somehow be "canon adjacent" in some form. For example, perhaps the animated movie, "Batman: Under the Red Hood," could potentially be "canon adjacent," but only in regards to those specific storyline elements involving Jason Todd's origins, the circumstances of his death, and how his body was secretly taken by Ra's al Ghul to be resurrected in the Lazarus Pit. Does that make sense to you?

1. If Green Lantern: The Animated Series were to get a second season or some sort of comic book continuation, do you think Brandon and yourself would try to maintain continuity with it going forwards, or was this more like two ships passing in the night?
1b. Have you discussed this possibility with Giancarlo and Jim? Do you believe they would try to respect things established in Young Justice?
2. There was an episode of Justice League Action which similarly continued plot points from GL:TAS. Is that episode also Young Justice canon adjacent?

Mr. Weisman,

In Issue #6 of "Wonder Woman: Black and Gold," a character named Berchta was introduced. Here's a link that talks about the character:

https://www.cbr.com/wonder-woman-doomsday-amazon-threat-berchta/

My question to you is what are the chances of you possibly introducing us to the Earth-16 version of this extremely dangerous Amazon?

Mr. Weisman,

Razar's search for Aya seems to imply that the events of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" are "canon adjacent" to the Earth-16 universe. Is this true, or did I make an incorrect interpretation? If the latter, please explain how you made the connection between the two non-related series work.
