So. People have asked about the various things. My question is... Why was Jaime not permanently affected by the ghost dimension in Season 3? Was it because he's actually an unactivated meta? Or can the beetle "reverse the damage" the ghost dimension otherwise would have done to Jaime despite not being compatible with the technology while active? Or was it something else?

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:

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.

In Regards to Earth-16's Tomar-Re:

#1. How long has he been a Green Lantern prior to to events of Season 4?

#2. Was he born on the planet Xudar and, as such, his people are identified as Xudarians?

#3. Does he protect Space Sector 2813?

#4. Prior to becoming a Green Lantern, was he an accomplished scientist on his homeworld?

#5. How old is he, in terms of human biological equivalent years and in actual Earth years (assuming he is older than he actually looks)?

#6. Did he attempted to help save Krypton (which was in his space sector) and ultimately failed; just like in the comics?

#7. Does he have a son named Tomar-Tu?

In Regards to Earth-16's Kilowag:

#1. How long has he been a Green Lantern prior to to events of Season 4?

#2. Was he born on the planet Bolovax Vik and, as such, his people were identified as Bolovaxians; assuming that he is the only survivor like in the comics?

#3. Does he protect Space Sector 674?

#4. Prior to becoming a Green Lantern, what was his profession on his homeworld?

#5. How old is he, in terms of human biological equivalent years and in actual Earth years (assuming he is older than he actually looks)?

#6. Did his gain his Green Lantern ring after his predecessor, Branwilla (a female Bolovaxian), was killed (presumably in the line of duty)?

I have some questions about Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge:

1. How come M'Comm did not read Lor-Zod's mind when he is questioning him in the Time Sphere?

2. Given the fact that no Martians (not even Saturn Girl) would be able to detect his mind if Lor-Zod is in the Time Sphere, does that mean M'Comm's mind-reading would not have worked when he is in the Time Sphere with Lor-Zod and Mantis?

3. In the comics, the Time Sphere was created by Brainiac 5, who made an appearance in the episode in a flashback. In the Earth-16 universe, did Brainiac 5 also created the Time Sphere?

4. Who decided that Jason Spisak (voice of Wally) and Michael Kevin Richardson would again voice Razer and Kilowog, respectively?

5. Was Green Lantern: The Animated Series the reason you guys chose for them to reprise their roles?

Jason R Carter writes...

1. Is the new young actor voicing Amistad actually autistic, or just that good an actor?

2. Why is Highfather's name Iyaza here when, in the comics, it's Izaya?

3. Since most of the Gargoyles voice actors have already appeared on Young Justice, are there any chances of Jonathan Frakes or Salli Richardson-Whitfield doing voices?

4. How likely is Earth-16 Peacemaker to break into dance when "Do You Really Wanna Taste It?" by Wig Wam hits?

Hello, Mr. Greg Weisman,

I technically enjoyed watching Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge. I like how the series are dealing with Razer. I enjoyed watching Green Lantern: The Animated Series on Cartoon Network all those years ago, which was also cancelled along with Young Justice much to the fans' disappointment.

I liked the story about Razer in that series. I remember seeing him at the end that there is a blue lantern ring coming up, which indicates had the series not gotten cancelled (along with Young Justice) Razer would been a Blue Lantern. I have wondered what Razer would have looked like as a Blue Lantern. But in episode 419, we see that Razer's red lantern appearance and civilian appearance is the exact same as the one in the Green Lantern animated series. I am guessing that had the series continued like Young Justice we would seen Razer in his blue lantern appearance and how he eventually discovered that both the red and blue lantern rings are perfect for him, am I correct?

Would we had as well as seen him in his appearance in both red and blue lantern form?

Razer was a character created specifically for the Green Lantern: the Animated Series, so why have you and the other decided to focus on Razer in Rocket's story arc?

How were you allowed to use him and his appearance as a Red Lantern and a civilian on his home planet?

Hi Greg. You've said before that when the show was first being created you weren't allowed to use certain characters which of course you later on were granted permission to use. My question is basically what would you have done if you never were allowed to use those characters? For the Wonder Girls of course other characters could fill those roles, and really you didn't need Ted Kord, but he was nice to have. But when it comes to Darkseid he became really an integral part of the show. His feud with Vandal Savage is one of the backbones of the show. Do you think the plot would be much different if he was still not allowed to be used? Or would things carry out with just someone else in his place?

Thanks for the response. Hoping we soon enough hear that Season 5 will be coming.

Mr. Weisman,

In regards to "Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge!":

#1. Now that we know that other the Lantern Corps DO exist in the Earth-16 universe (given the Red and Blue Lantern rings), should we assume that the oaths that each respective Lantern Corps are the same as in the comics?

#2. When Lor-Zod explained his origins, there was a mentioning of Jor-El's brother, Zor-El; who is Kal-El's paternal uncle. As such, does this mean that Kal-El's paternal cousin, Kara Zor-El, also exists in the Earth-16 universe?

#3. Since Krypton's destruction was the result of its red sun (which I assume is called Rao) exploding in the Earth-16 universe, does that mean that Jor-El's failed attempt to warn his people about Krypton's inevitable destruction is the same as in the comics?

#4. Just so I can understand correctly, it seems that Mon-El does not appear to exist in the original version of Earth-16's 31st century; prior to Lor-Zod's time travel. However, if the timeline changes enough in Earth-16's present era, does that mean that he will exist in the new version of the 31st century? The reason I am asking this question is because in the post-Rebirth era of DC Comics, Mon-El is a 31st Century descendant of the House of El, but he is also directly related to Zod's family; with Lor-Zod being his grandfather, and Lor-Zod's parents being his great-grandparents.

#5. This was the second mentioning that Superboy was supposed to be involved in a significant historical event that is supposed to happen in 2030. Now I'm assuming that this will NOT happen in Season 4; HOWEVER, is it safe to assume that this event is somehow connected to inevitable conflict that will occur between Vandal Savage and Darkseid?

I can't believe no one has asked this before, but I searched the archives and couldn't find it.

Was the Original Roy in the secret room in Cadmus for all of season 1?

If so, why was he not found when Superboy found the room? Did Superboy report absolutely none of what happened to the League to conceal the shields?

Obviously Guardian was controllable, but did Spence/Dubilex not think to go through and clear out the place at all?

Clearly the fact that they were knocked out in the finale suggests they were not so easily manipulated. (They may not have known who/what Roy was, but you'd think the similarities to their boss and the missing arm/human appearance would raise questions if they found him)

And why did the Light not move him before the finale, after Lex gave Superboy the shields? Seems like a pretty big loose end that they just left out there that could have unraveled their entire plan early.

Mr. Weisman,

Just so I can understand this correctly, the reason why the three members of Infinity Inc. were in Markovia and bowing to down to King Brion is because they were publicly disgraced by the media after Lex Luthor's secrets were publicly revealed at the United Nations, and the trio had nowhere else to go for safe haven?

Hey Greg, hope you're doing well and I believe as the time of me writing this question its your anniversary, so happy anniversary man. I wanted to ask you a question that has had its topic brought up before, but my question is somewhat different. I recently gave The Spectacular Spiderman a rewatch and have found a new love and appreciation for it, back when I was a kid I loved this show but now that I'm 16 it hit much harder being able to fully understand the story and its themes. You've truly created a master piece, and I was pretty much depressed for a couple of days after I found out it got cancelled and that its in some legal shark territory. However, in my obsession I was reviewing the contract made between Sony and Marvel and apparently Sony is allowed to make animated movies or episodes of Spiderman longer than 45 minutes. I've heard you had a spring break movie planned that was coming after season 2 and since technically Sony is allowed to do this I was wondering if there is any hope of the beloved show returning? Even if not a movie do you think Sony and Marvel could work out a deal or if Sony could license the tv rights from Marvel to finish the show? I'm no business executive and I don't know the finances and costs of this hypothetical dilemma but I would just love to see the show back. And well if the answer is a dead no or a slim chance, thanks anyways for creating my childhood and my favorite show of all time. (yes really)

So this wasn't clear the last time I asked from your response but just to reiterate during Mad Hatter's mind control with nanobots we will continue to retain our personalities even if that means doing bad puns and innuendo based jokes despite us doing the things against our will like Livewire did when she fought against black lightning when under the control of mad hatter so like she may have wanted to do not fight black lightning but still couldn't help come of as confident and snark.
