Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Brainiac 5:

1. Is his real name Querl Dox?

2. As a Coludroid, what is his age; both as a human biological equivalent and in actual Earth years (assuming he is older than he looks)?

3. Does his fellow Legionnaires ever call him by his nickname "Brainy"?

4. Is he a descendant of the Collector of Worlds?

Mr. Weisman,

How did Artur feel about his father (Orin) stepping down as High King, and his mother (Mera) being chosen to become High King, respectively?

Mr. Weisman,

In the episode, Usual Suspects,...

#1. How exactly did Lex Luthor figure out that Superboy ran out the red shields? I mean, did that little container that holds the red shields have some kind of chip or something that transmits to Lex Luthor and informs him when Superboy uses a red shield and how many he has left in inventory?

#2. If Superboy, Artemis, and Miss Martian did not tell the rest of the Team about their respective secrets, what would have been the original outcome of the meeting that occurred in Santa Prisca; considering they were supposed to go somewhere? I mean, would those three have been given the Starro-tech at wherever place they would go, like what the mind-controlled Red Arrow did to the Justice League? Or, would there have been a far worse fate that would have awaited those three?

Hi Greg!

Traci Thurston/Thirteen has quickly become one of my favorite characters this season. I feel like we got to know her a bit more during Zatanna's arc, and it was AMAZING.

I recall seeing somewhere on Twitter, that her chants (when using bad luck magic) are in Latin. While rewatching "Odnu!" I could not decipher what she said during 2 specific scenes: When she manipulated the fog lines to capture the Trogowog, and when she moved the brick wall that Khalid was about to strike into.

Is she reciting these chants in another language?

1. Was Arion also a Homo Meta, along with being the first Homo Magi, or was he just the former?

2. On Earth 16 is an affinity for Magic a metahuman ability/subspecialty of the meta gene, or is it's own thing? Would Zatanna, Traci 13, or Khalid Nassour have the meta gene along with their magic powers or just the latter?

3. Are Atlantean Sorcerers considered to be Homo Magi or are they just Homo Mermanus/or are they both?

4. Is Nabu when he was alive a Homo Magi and would he be considered one now with the helmet?

5. Are Atlanteans also technically Homo Meta and Homo Magi along with being Homo Mermanus? Would La'gaan have tested positive for the Meta Gene when he was captured by the Reach?

In the episode "Nautical Twilight" Lori was cold to Wyynde, against whom she still harbored resentment for his time as a purist. Well from this I have two questions to ask.

1) Will Karen be that way towards Arsenal (Roy Harper) after his mistakes from Season 2 even though he wasn't truly a bad person (Which the 4 Runaway meta-teens obviously know) nor irredeemable?

2) Will La'gaan (formerly known as Lagoon Boy) be that way towards Nightwing (Dick Greyson) after the way he kept Kaldur's deep-cover mission and Artemis's faked death a secret from him and the other heroes during Season 2?

I have five questions to ask.

1. In the episode "Darkest" La'gaan told Kaldur (who is only posing as a traitor as part of an undercover operation) that he's not Black Manta's son but his errand boy. What does he mean by Errand Boy?

2. In the episode "Nomed Esir!" Child accuses Klarion of being a lapdog for working with Vandal Savage. What does she mean by Lapdog?

3. Is La'gaan right about Kaldur being Black Manta's Errand Boy or maybe wrong?

4. Is Child right about Klarion being Vandal Savage's Lapdog?

5. Is there a difference between being someone's Errand Boy and someone's Lapdog or are they both the same thing?

I have always appreciated YJ's pulling of characters or concepts from everything DC has a copyright on, and seeing Razer join Mercy Graves, Wendy and Marvin, El Dorado, etc in the cartoon-first club was great. I know he's busy and y'all have a plot already, but given the way characters can just come back on occasion, I hope he'll show up in season 42 with some plot-critical information Amistad and Artur need or something.

1. You said on twitter that including him was Brandon Vietti's idea, and I was wondering if you knew about the thought process. Was it more of a "We need someone to fill [x] role, what about Razer?" situation, or "Can we fit Razer in somewhere, since we're using GLs anyway?" Or something else? Although I recognize you might not know and that's okay, Vietti just doesn't have an askbox.

2. Since other "adjacent" stories happened, but with more presence from the team, is this the case with the Lantern stuff? (I kind of doubt it, since most of it was way off in space, but since I also kinda doubt you'll make a new season focusing on it, I figured I would ask...)

3. How did the various GLTAS actors and writers react when you and Vietti reached out to them?

I really only started watching/buying GLTAS in solidarity, and I thought I did a good job not getting attached to those characters I thought were doomed, so I had no idea I'd be so happy for an update on Razer and Kilowog. Thanks to everyone for that

Hi Greg! Got some questions that I have been thinking for some time.

1. I know Artemis is an adaptation from the comics, but I am curious if you took Mia Dearden as an inspiration for Artemis characters for YJ? (considering they both are the second sidekick)

2. Can you just give a little hint? Is the next season (5 and hopefully 6) will be focusing or introducing or inserting new heroes? Just like S2 and S3?

3. What is your first inspiration or the first thing in your mind that make you want to develop YJ?

4. Just wondering, is the light arc gonna end in the future seasons or they will always be the light in the show?

5. Would you like/support if one day a person pitch an idea to make a spin off based on YJ and set in the same earth? (Eg: JLA, JSA, etc)

I saw you say that the viewing numbers are better than ever but what exactly are we comparing here? The total number of streams the season has gotten? The individual episodes? The whole series? And are we just looking at the TV ratings of episode premieres or are we including the people who bought it on iTunes (throwback to when we got before the dawn in the top 10 and then cartoon network removed it) and watched reruns? I'm just curious if we can really compare it properly because I remember how difficult it was to watch the show live back in the day, the network was constantly putting it on hiatus, sometimes with no warning, and it didn't stream anywhere until it was put on Netflix. I'd sometimes have no idea an episode aired until the day after. And to be perfectly honest, I would watch it on illegal sites and I know I was far from the only one. The show being on HBO Max has made it accessible to a wide audience for the first time, so I'm wondering if it's a true increase in viewership or if it's just finally being collected in one place.

Mr. Weisman,

Since you confirmed that the events of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" is "Canon Adjacent," and since Kilowag had mentioned that it had been about four years since Razer was last seen, it is obviously clear that the Earth-16 version of the events of the animated series took place in 2016. HOWEVER, given that the animated series lasted only one season, when exactly did the Earth-16 version of the events started and ended, respectively, during the year of 2016?

As a African American Im a big fan from s1 s2 I like and respect what you do and done. I am asking if you can consider to adapt more on the Black ethnic superheroes groups with appearances on scenes more such as Icon, Vixen, Static, Naomi, Starlight, Thunder etc. Not only appearances but possibly better story telling of those diverse characters you have. the story arc for Rocket so far is pretty dull where getting to know her more contradicts her character appearances and insight on issues that happen in s1&2 with her friendships w/ superboy and atermis. (Rage & daddy issues) with s4 views on Orion she struggling to accept him. 2 episodes in and not enough of rocket being shown in positive cool way. There are huge amounts of different black groups that watch your show with different personalities please showcase our skin/behaviour in a better way. To be inclusive is to consider our hair as not every hair style with your black female characters bumblebee and rocket have that short Rihanna buzz cut. Please continue to consider the future of the black youth that enjoy your amazing show.

I’ve seen countless comments in the past few days from people who’ve decided to finally catch up on Young Justice in order to see Razer again. It also seems like you’re saving Nightwing’s arc for last, the most famous and popular protagonist on the show.
Am I correct in assuming this is all an intentional, May sweeps-style, strategy to generate hype and attention in the final stretch of the season or is this instead simply just how the story you’re telling needed to unfold?

I am honestly concerned that you’re letting the twitter crowd influence you too much…i know it’s a necessary evil for promotion but you should be aware that the people on there do not represent the whole population. it’s become a really nasty place over the last few years, people there can only deal in absolutes: someone/thing is either the best thing in the world and above all criticism or evil and must be destroyed. did you see how the will smith oscar incident got turned into a race issue where anyone who criticized what will did was branded a racist? the whole site turned on zoe kravitz for saying something when they were obsessing over her a few days earlier and literally accused her of being a pedo based on one line from an interview. right now young justice is beloved there and anyone who dares to share an opinion is attacked - and to be perfectly frank, it often happens after you reply to them. yes it is good for the show to have them on your side because they’ll keep it trending every week but be careful not to get too tangled up with them, they will turn on you in a second.

Hi Greg !
Just read an answer you gave to someone talking about religion, and you said that it's difficult to represent atheists on YJ because of the elements you introduced on the show :

" I'd love to be more inclusive of atheists. I aspire to be an atheist myself, but frankly I'm too superstitious. And I don't know how - in the fantasy world of Earth-16, which includes things like ghosts, phantoms, souls, demons, gods, etc. - to make space for true atheism, which is a philosophy I find most admirable in real life."

Now, I have a question, that I'm sure you will find interesting : how someone can still be religious in the fantasy world of earth-16 ????
Because you objectively demonstrated dozens of things that contradict religions.
Some examples :
- religion said the earth is 6000 years old --> Vandal Savage is 50000 years old.
- religion said the universe was created in 6 days --> you showed the YJ universe is 16 billions years old.
- religion never mentioned extraterrestrial life --> I think we can admit that aliens exist in earth-16 (lol).

And we could go on like that for days. Now, very religious people will come and tell me I'm full of approximation, that it's more complicated, and so on...
But the fact remains, whatever those people may say, that your show is contradicting religious allegations.

SO, don't you think it's nonsensical and inconsistent to have introduced religions in YJ, and that they don't have their place in this universe, because it OBJECTIVELY demonstrated they're WRONG ?

I'm personally an agnostic atheist, which doesn't mean I hate religions, I just find they don't have their place in your show. Don't you agree ?

In Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge, Kilowog said no communication between him and Razer for four years. That sets the events of the parting in team year 6, which is also when the events of Young Justice Invasion takes place. Did you do this as a nod to how both Young Justice and Green Lantern Tas had their finales air together on March 16, 2013 or is there also a deeper reason like it fits better with the Timeline or is it both the factors.

FanternForever writes...

So really loved that you did the GLTAS themed episode,
1. I am curious about how did you guys decide to use music at the end of Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge mirror similar to the one in the green lantern tas finale, whose idea was this, are musical choices like these decided like at the scripting of the episode or is it done after the episode is animated and done?
2. Tying in Razer with the theme of Acceptance and Hope for a better future, yes I can see why you tied this to the rocket's arc. Did you guys have an idea that you would get so much positive reception for doing this or was it a surprise.
3. The Episode is titled "Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge" but the character is named Razer with an "e" in the credits so why this change in spelling, cause Razor means instrument an instrument with sharp sets of blades while Razer means A person who razes something. Is there a reason for this spelling change.
4. So now that you have come around to multiple lantern corps do Orange Lantern, Star Sapphire and Indigo Tribe work on Earth 16.
5. Whose Idea was it to make Razer a composite Lantern i.e both red and blue simultaneously cause that idea is a master stroke and deserves my thanks.

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?

Blueberry Baskets writes...

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?

Anonymous writes...

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.
