Mr. Weisman,

In the timeline where the Reach successfully took over Earth, are all the members of the Justice League and the Team dead? If so, was it in part due to the disastrous outcome of the undercover mission that was secretly created by Aqualad and Nightwing; which likely resulted in massive distrust amongst the heroes? If not, then what was the actual reason for their deaths?

Mr. Weisman,

Previously, Bear was the only member of the Forever People whose real name was confirmed by you as Tabore-Kadan. However, my personal assumption is that this name is specifically based on the language of the New Gods when not translated into English. As such, for the other members of the Forever People, what are their real names?

Mr. Weisman,

In regards to the Earth-16 version of Orion's biological mother, is her name Tigra; like in the comics? Also, what is her age; both as a human biological equivalent and in actual Earth years (since the New Gods are actually older than they look)?

Mr. Weisman,

In the Earth-16 universe, is the name of Darkseid's signature attack called "Omega Beams," which are red, target seeking beams that continuously follow their target until they finally reach and instantly kills and completely disintegrates their target (unless the target has some resistance to it)?

Question about the Atlantian states and their level of independence. Could they, if so inclined, open their own embassies and conduct official relationships with other nations?

Like, as a silly example, if Sha'ark wanted to open an embassy in Australia, negotiate participation in the Olympics, have Nanueve join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or have a state team participate in the FIFA world cup, which, if any, would he legally have the power to do and which is the exclusive right of Poseidonis?

3 Questions
1) By any chance have you and/or Brandon Vietti watched or heard of a Japanese animated film called Belle (2021 film)?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLCjdAmsFWo

2) If you have then do you agree that Justin (one of the film's antagonists) and his gang (Who deserve the name Justice Jerks) are false heroes who are ignoble, unjust, and villainous unlike the Justice League and that it would be better if they were somehow replaced by a group of As (Another Self) who are truly heroic.

3) Would any of the young superheroes of Young Justice (TV Series) be interested in watching Belle (2021 film) and maybe like it?

Something I have always wondered, while you guys did the 5 year gap and got the show to be as vastly developed and to be as diverse as it is know. I have been very curious however about why not do two gaps and no I don't mean any offence or trying to criticize you, it's just I wonder like if you had done the second season during year 2/3 introduce Jason, Tula, Garth, Freddie and Mary as members of the team along with new jl member Ted Kord. And then do your usual story arc and then skip after that to Invasion with season 3 as it is would not the shock factor of how much we lost during the time be greater. Cause for me there would have been two risks for me if I had to jump to year 6 directly one alienating the audience who watched season 1 since I recall a lot of my friends not realising until way later that Nightwing is Robin from season 1 and also the missed opportunities like I always felt why skip to year 6 which now in retrospective seems odd to me since to me the the time/year depicted in the seasons as of season 4 are 0,6,8,10. This number sequence for someone since the gaps are not uniform makes me a little curious. Was season 2 made to be like a proof of concept like look here it is not jub about the original character but also the whole earth-16. Like why not keep a uniform pacing. Once again I am not trying to tell you messed up or did something wrong or disagree with you because I think in a lot of ways it seems a great choice to do season 2 the way you guys did and I would honestly not have it any other way. But I am still curious about your thought process like what convinced you and Brandon to do it this way was it because you guys wanted to adapt the invasion, or did you worry that doing a season during year 3 and then going to year 6 will make you miss out the shock factor of aging heroes you got from the audience. Or was it simply that the story during year 3 was less interesting based on the timeline you made. I don't know how clear I have been with my question but I do think one advantage you did get was the mystery of what happened during the five years to drive the plot forward. Anyways hope you have a good day and really hoping for a season 5 and 6 and 7 and just however many you can/want to do.

Now in an interview you revealed Artemis liked the Kingsman the Secret Service, so
1) Did Wally like this film.
2) Did Artemis watch this film with Wally.
3) Now you also said Artemis didn't like the second as much as the first one, the second movie was one she watched post Endgame assuming the movie released on Earth 16 the same time it released for us. Was it sad for her to watch this film or something that made her long for the past and made her nostalgic/melancholic seeing as the movie was just not as good as before and one she couldn't discuss with Wally.
4) Would Wally have liked this film.

Hi Greg! Recently, Polygon published an article diving into what media M'gann, Artemis, Gar, and Klarion enjoy watching and reading when they're not "saving the world or dealing with their trauma." It's a very fun read, but it got me thinking about the favorite shows, movies, and books about some of the other characters.

What media do the other members of the Team Year Zero crew enjoy when they're not on duty as heroes?

Hello Mr. Weisman,

As I'm sure you've noticed from some of the hateful comments you have received, LGBT rights are a sensitive issue in the Muslim world. We absolutely need more queer Muslim rep, because we do exist and have existed throughout history, but I believe it needs to be handled by someone knowledgable about the subject who can accurately portray the identity and defend themselves against the fundamentalist crowd.

With all due respect, based on Violet Harper's portrayal, I am not sure if you're the best person to do that. How knowledgeable are you about this topic? Do you know the reasons why the Muslim world is currently so anti-LGBT and the history of how we arrived at this point? Do you know what Wahhabism and Deobandi Islam is? Do you know the scriptures that people cite to support their hateful stance and how to refute their argument? Do you know what the Hadith is? Do you know the details about the oppression LGBT Muslims experience in their countries? Do you know about the Islamophobia LGBT Muslims experience in Western countries from their queer white peers? Do you know what a big deal it is to have an LGBT Muslim character on a show and how crucial it is to get it right? Are you willing to learn about all these things in order to improve any LGBT Muslim characters you may create in the future?

If not, do you not think the reins should be handed to someone more knowledgable about this perspective? You have to understand, this is a matter of life or death in some parts of the world. It needs to be handled with care. Otherwise, the fundamentalist movement will seize the opportunity to decry it as Western propaganda bastardizing Islam and use it to stir up anger.

Hi Greg! Hope your day is going well, and that you're working on the Season 5 I'm praying gets greenlit. But even if TPTB haven't yet, I still can't thank you, Brandon, and the whole team enough for the incredible four seasons you've given us. PHANTOMS has been a total blast and I'm ecstatic that the tie-in comics are returning in June with TARGETS (on my birthday no less!). And rest assured, if someone was silly enough to make the mistake of NOT greenlighting Season 5 by the time you're getting to this question, the fandom is working hard to fix that mistake.

Now, for my question, I'm following up on something that I've touched on a couple of times before but that still isn't clear to me. Hopefully, me asking again won't be too annoying considering the 1000-plus questions you've been gracious enough to answer since I last inquired.

Here's what you've told us: Katana began her heroic career in Japan in 2013. She joined the Justice League around December 2017. You've also told us that Hardware began his heroic career in 2015. He joined the Justice League around December 2017. In addition, you confirmed that Batman's Z-designations were based on the order in which the heroes joined the Justice League.

However, when you unveiled the Z-designations, Hardware was Z-04 and Katana was Z-05, despite the latter preceding the former in terms of heroic debut. Based on your previous explanations of how the heroes' designations get decided, it's based on when they debuted as heroes. So Katana being after Hardware would suggest she debuted AFTER him, despite what you've previously confirmed.

So, my question: was Katana's designation assignment based on when she debuted in America? Is any of the information I've recounted above incorrect? Or is there some flaw in my logic I'm not seeing?

I understand that this question could seemingly touch upon unrevealed JL designations, but I promise that's not what I'm after. You've already revealed that Katana and Hardware joined the League the same month, so my question is really just trying to hit on the logic of the heroic debuts than the designations themselves.

Thanks as always for your time and incredible creativity with this world. It has kept me invested for about a decade now. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Kudos first of all for the amazing wealth of characters we've been introduced to since "Outsiders". Any one of these main characters like Dolphin (Delphise), Halo, Windfall, Orphan, Terra (Tara), etc., seems like they could build a spin-off mini-series (3-4 episodes) all their own. I'm aware of an Aqualad series already in the pipes, but do you want to keep the Young Justice series alive in the way I have described? Possibly a version called "Young Justice: New Blood", or something, that follows forward with the "Phantoms" concept, where several mini-series are sown together?

Thanks really for the inspiration you've been thus far. I was a huge, HUGE fan of "Gargoyles" from the very beginning, and was sad to see the series fade. You've helped me write quite a lot of fan-fiction. =) Thanks for your reply.

Hi Greg
I m loving this season so much! I think this might be my favorite even if it's not over yet.

My questions deals with Mary and magic users in general
1. When Mary used the stamina of atlas spell in episode 11, did it work? She didn't tap into the earth ley lines or absorb any kind of power and there was no visual effect when she said it.

2. What are Khalid powers? Are they nature based?

3. Does Mary have to continuously tap into the earth ley lines/absorb power for every spell?

4. Can Zatanna cast more than one spell at once? For example, can she say "etativel" and then "Dleihs" and she'll be levitating in the air with a shield around her.

5. My last question does have anything to do with magic but I just wanted to know in episode 9 was that Mary, Khalid, and Traci first time training together?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I hope what I'm asking is clear.

After watching the first episode of Raquel's arc, I am eagerly awaiting the rest of her arc! It's looking to be another great one! In this episode, we officially find out that Amistad is autistic (many of us knew beforehand, from that interview with Denise Boutte months prior), marking another time that Young Justice has made history in terms of representation in superhero media. It's honestly so exciting the amount of doors you guys are opening!

I do want to know, though. Was Amistad being autistic all part of the original plan back in Season One, or was it something you and Brandon decided on when in development of Outsiders and then Phantoms?

While I am more than certain Violet coming out as non-binary and La'gaan being in a polyamorous relationship is the result of Young Justice moving to DC Universe and then HBO Max, where censorship is (to a point) non-existent when compared to Cartoon Network, I can't say the same for Amistad's autism. While I assume the subject of neurodivergence wasn't considered AS taboo a subject back then, I am curious if (assuming this was all planned from the start) you guys making him openly autistic (rather than hinting at it like you would with a character's sexuality back then, if that makes sense) would have been a problem for the network.

Either way, though, I am beyond happy with what's been represented so far this season. Kudos!

Mr. Weisman,

I can't believe it! General Zod (Dru-Zod) and Lor-Zod?! The hidden message for Season 4 makes sense now; it is "INVITATION TO KNEEL BEFORE ZOD." Also, now that it is clear that Lor-Zod's ethnicity is the Kryptonian equivalent of an African-American human male in the Earth-16 universe, I suspect this also applies to General Zod as well and, as such, I suspect this change from the comics was inspired by the short-lived Syfy TV series, "Krypton" and that show's depiction of the House of Zod.

And if the Reds were conquerors wouldn't the Greens be bitter against this or is there some political, economic, religious or some other reason that they are not?

2. What advantages did the Red Martians have over the other more numerous Martians? Was it divide and conquer tactics, better use of Martian powers, more sorcerers than the others all of the above and/or something else?

3. And why are the White Martians discriminated against in general on Mars? Was it because of past wars, they had resources the other martians wanted and cruelty was the justification for it or is it something else?

Mr. Weisman,

As of the time of this posting, I've just looked on the internet and learned of the six-issue series called "Young Justice: Targets." Not only has this series has been confirmed to take place after the fourth season, but preview images indicate that Superboy will come back home and Beast Boy will apparently be in better mental health by the time the fourth season ends. So why were these revelations spoiled so soon?

Landon writes...

Hello Greg! I know you've been getting a lot of questions on-and-off about the subject of sexuality within Young Justice, so I understand if answering can be a bit cumbersome and/or repetitive. Feel free to ignore, should you wish!

1. For the character that you cannot reveal to be gay either on-screen or off-screen, are they theoretically out of the closet in-universe?
2. Do you consider a character's respective sexuality a spoiler? I ask because way back when, you've answered No Spoilers to some of these types of questions, but recently you've been far more forthcoming on this aspect (and for that, I do thank you!). The most recent being for Ed, who you revealed is gay. You've done the same for Kate Kane and Renee Montoya, but those two are naturally a given considering their sexuality in the comics. I guess this all boils down to whether you’d consider a normally heterosexual character being queer on Earth-16 a spoiler or not. For example, prior to Nautical Twilight, had someone asked, would you have revealed that La’gaan is bisexual?
3. To continue from my second question, in a somewhat recent ask, someone asked whether or not more recent changes to previously-straight characters in the mainstream comics (ex: Wonder Woman, Alan Scott, Tim Drake, Jon Kent) would affect their depictions moving forward on the show, and you said that a character like Alan Scott could theoretically be gay but have been in the closet and had heterosexual relationships given the era he grew up in. Can this be taken as confirmation that Alan Scott on Earth-16 is or was gay?
4. I suppose you could leave this open to our individual interpretations, but in the first episode of Phantoms, Harper was worried that Cullen might spill the beans on their new super-family with the Carrs and M’gann and Conner. Regarding his reply of being able to keep a secret, and her acceptance of this fact, I am curious if this was a nod to his sexuality? Given their backstory of being from an abusive home, I imagine Cullen never felt comfortable enough to come out with his father but his new life with the Carrs has granted him (and by extension, Harper) that freedom. So I guess this question is just one big preamble to: was that scene in reference to Cullen recently coming out, assuming his sexuality is unaltered from the comics?
5. Not a question (mostly because I fear my word vomit might have put me over the edge of the five question limit), but this is just me thanking you and Brandon and the YJ crew for choosing to depict the world like it really is. I know that many people unfortunately don’t like the stance you guys are taking on the subject (or that you’re addressing it at all), so I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart that I have never felt the happiness that I felt when watching this latest season before in any form of media, especially superhero media. Again, thank you.

"Leviathan Wakes" was a magnificent conclusion to an already stellar arc, and a lot of that has to come down to Khary Payton's superb script. And I was all the more surprised to learn afterword that it was apparently his scriptwriting debut!

Just curious how that came about. I know he's been a collaborative partner in developing Kaldur's character over the years, but where did the idea for him penning a full script originate? Did Khary offer, did you and Brandon offer it to him, or somewhere in the middle?

Regardless, can't really argue the results. The final scene with Kaldur and Dinah is HAUNTING. Clearly, Khary was taking full advantage of knowing how he'd deliver those lines as he wrote them.

Hope he gets a lot more opportunities down the road! And as always, wishing the best to him, you, and the rest of the cast and crew!

Can't wait for the start of the Rocket arc in a couple days.
