Hi Greg. I have some questions regarding comic Young Justice: Targets, specifically regarding the flashbacks regarding Perdita, Green Arrow, and Black Canary.
After Green Arrow defeats Merlyn, we see that Count Vertigo attacks them before getting taken down by Black Canary. According to the Earth-16 timeline, this took place right before the Injustice League reveal to the world and that Vertigo is obviously present as their field commander.
1a. Can you describe how Vertigo went from being defeated by Canary to being able to participate with the Injustice League in the YJ episode "Revelation"?
1b. Did Vertigo and Merlyn slip away without the heroes noticing or did they both somehow escape law enforcement custody?
1c. Could Perdita not prove Vertigo made an obvious attempt on her life and lose his diplomatic immunity sooner?
2. During the flashback arc, we see that Perdita's bodyguards, including Denny, are taken down by Vertigo's henchmen. Did any survive?
3. Are you willing to give insight into how long Ollie and Dinah were dating before he proposed to her?
When were Belle Reve, Arkham Asylum, LexCorp, Cadmus Labs and S.T.A.R. Labs created?
So, I'm sure you probably already know this, but Matt Braly is a huge fan of Gargoyles to the point where it inspired him a lot when he was making his own show Amphibia. And he even included a sketch of Goliath in the episode True Colors.
So, I guess my question is this:
How do you feel about the theory that Gargoyles and Amphibia may share the same universe/multiverse?
So, don't answer this one if you don't want to, but considering Disney at least partially has the rights to Spider-Man, would you say that The Spectacular Spider-Man shares the same world as Gargoyles?
Hello! I just recently started to watch Young Justice as when it first came out I was really too young. Great show! Even a full decade later, the show seems timeless.
1. What was the reasoning behind pairing Zatanna and Robin together in season one? great choice, in my opinion, I was just wondering
2. Was there anything in season 4 that you had planned since the beginning? Like anything that you had thought of back in like 2009 that ended up happening in season 4?
3. The show first started almost 14 years ago, is there any episode or an arc you like to watch back a lot?
4. How was writing impulse as someone who would spoil the future compared to how you actually don't like to give out spoilers?
With the Gargoyles returning in the world of comic books would you consider doing a signing event at or for the CGC (https://www.cgccomics.com/) so fans can get their comic books signed and graded for their collections. That way both older SLC books and current (which are great by the way) can be signed by you. Thank you.
Dear Mr . Weisman
My name is James kastner Iâm from Baldwin New York Long Island itâs truly a huge honor to writing to you sir . I have been a huge fan of your work for a long time and I have been looking forward to reaching out to you but I couldnât not since the last time I tried your website s8.org you didnât respond back to me . Can I tell you my personal opinion is you and Duane capizzi should definitely with out a doubt should have your own net worths and earn your place in celebrity net worthâs .
1.) Will spectacular Spider-Man ever make a comeback I know you said it is unlikely but can Sony work something out with Disney and can you tell Disney how much the show means so much to us can you tell them to find a solution with Sony .
2.) is the silver sable in spectacular Spider-Man they same age as black cat ?
3.) Will electro Molton man Jonah Jameson son and Eddie Brock get the help they need ?
4.) Will spectacular Spider-Man face a lot of new villains both from the comics and old shows and meet other heroâs ?
5.) will every single person close to Peter learn his secret ? And will Norman Osborn become the green goblin king and form the goblin nation ?
6.) does Norman Osborn love his wife son and what is his deal with not apologies any way ?
7 .) how would love films with spectacular Spider-Man with crossovers I was thinking of spectacular Spider-Man with the Batman from the 2004tv series and you can work with Duane capizzi . And crossover with Kim possible tmnt 2003 and Spider-Man the animated tv series from the 90s and 2017spiderman tvseries how is those ideas sound ?
Looking forward to be hearing from you
MTVâs Spider-Man: The New Animated Series featured the Kingpin
The Spectacular Spider-Man was not allowed to use the Kingpin
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse featured the Kingpin
All three of these cartoons were Sony productions. Do you have any clue why yours was treated differently?
IDK if this is a spoiler or not, but some of us in the fandom wondered about it. How did Jaime feel about Traci taking part in the whole Dr Fate exchange thing? (Since many people have noted that possession by Nabu bears resemblance to him being put On-Mode by the Reach, having no control over your own body and basically being trapped in your head.)
Hi Greg, huge fan of Young Justice and hopeful for a Season 5 renewal someday. Thank you and your entire team for the work you have done on the show. I have a few questions:
1. Are Jetâs powers similar to her comic book counterpartâs (flight, electromagnetic blasts, green hair, etc.)?
2. Are B-34 and B-35 El Dorado and Cyborg? Their Team designations before the Outsiders changed to D designations
3. Do you have names for the meta-humans that the outsiders rescued in Cuba in Season 3 episode 18? One of them looked like the DC character Loose Cannon so I was wondering if all of those characters were existing DC characters
Thanks again, I really appreciate you always taking the time for your fans
You mentioned many years ago that you had a timeline for you, Pat and Cary's original Captain Atom run from the 80s written out; since continuity's changed multiple times since that run ended and the contents of it are most likely heavily out of date, would you be willing to share it here?
TRUE OR FALSE: Earth-16 Amanda Waller and her family
#1. Amanda Waller's maiden name is Blake; she grew up in the crime-ridden Cabrini-Green area of Chicago.
#2. Amanda Waller's husband is Joseph Waller; at the time they got married, Amanda was 18 and Joseph was 20.
#3. Amanda Waller has five children in the following order from oldest to youngest: Joseph Waller, Jr. (son), Damita Waller (daughter), the twins Martin Waller and Jessie Waller (sons), and Coretta Waller (daughter).
#4. The lives of the Waller family were a financial struggle, and they relied on social programs, but they were happy together as a family.
#5. Joseph Waller, Jr. was killed by gangsters during a mugging that had gone wrong; at the time of his death, he was set to go to college on a basketball scholarship.
#6. Damita Waller was murdered in an alleyway on her way home from church; the man who killed her was a drug dealer known as "Candyman."
#7. Because "Candyman" could not be convicted by the police due to lack of witnesses, Joseph Waller decided to take matters into his own hands in order to avenge Damita's death; resulting in him and and "Candyman" shooting and killing each other simultaneously during a public confrontation. As a result of Joseph's act of vigilantism, and due to the fact was killed in the commission of a crime, the Waller family was denied the payout of his life insurance.
#8. Faced with the consequences of taking the law into one's own hands, and embittered by the adulation received by masked heroes (such as Batman, for example) for the sort of vigilantism that had cost her and her family so much, Amanda developed an intense hatred of vigilantes.
What would the heroes have done with Ma'alefa'ak if they freed him from the Phantom Zone?
Will we be getting a season 5 and if we do will that be the last?
1. What are your thoughts about Artemis and Wallys relationship?
2. Why was there a huge time skip between Season 1 and 2?
Hi Greg,

We have cannon names for all of Infinity Inc.'s members except for Kobold and I was wondering if he had a civilian name or if he was like Dolphin and took that as his new one.
Pardon me ! Every Gargoyle lovers
Could anyone tell me why Goliath do not remember Griff and his clans. I did not watch the ending cos I took my exam at that time. Would it reveal the truth of what happens to Griff
Hey, not much to say. Just really appreciate the series! I do have one question, though, and itâs related to that other one about how Gargoyles can get drunk but no hangovers. But what about mutates? Does Sevariusâ serum make it so mutates canât get drunk? Has anyone in the show ever tried? Just curious.
Does Bill cipher from gravity falls have anything to do with the Illuminati?
Bill appeared alongside Goliath in a book Marcy was looking at
Hello, Greg. I have a question for you that I had in my mind.

Greg,please Season 5 of Young Justice is a good idea
Hi.
Hope you are welll.
I am a massive fan of Young Justice and I have recently been looking into trying to get into the script writing game, using Young Justice as a starting point, I have been writing a S5 and posting them to the Young Justice Reddit page. To high praise from those who have read them.
My questions are
1. would you ever be willing to read a fan written script and provide some feedback on the writing and story from that script?
2. If not what advice would you give to someone who wanted to become a screenwriter?
I have tried to reach out to you before on the app formerly known as Twitter but I imagine you get a lot of post and comments sent to you.
Thank you in advance
How long had Lucas and Bethany been dating prior to "Early Warning"?
do any of m'comm's martian followers know about his alliance with darkseid?
This is in regards to the future of Young Justice:
It my favorite DC property of all time and I was watching the recent animated film Justice League Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 when I noticed that Young Justiceâs reality (Earth 16) was not only shown in a cameo but it was erased along with the other realities adjacent to it (The DCAU, the 2003 Teen Titans Universe, and the Super Friends). And by the end all other realities are erased, no more DC multiverse and (like the original source material) the realities are merged into a what Iâm assuming is James Gunnâs new DCU. Which is confusing because there are these other shows coming out that are not apart of his DCU slate (Harley Quinn and Caped Crusader).
So my question is, was that the Real Earth 16 and is that confirming to us fans that we will no longer be getting anymore Young Justice content?
#YoungJusticeSeason5 #RenewYoungJustice #YoungJusticeSeason5&Beyond
Hello, Greg. Iâm a big fan of your work, especially Young Justice and The Spectacular Spider-Man! Iâm glad the former was able to make a comeback, and can only wish the latter had not been canceled when it was. Had there been a third season of The Spectacular Spider-Man, is there anyone in particular you think would be good voices for Scorpion, Hobgoblin, and Carnage?
So, after watching the animated film "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three," and seeing how the DC Animated Universe (Earth-12) ended up being destroyed, should we assume that the "Young Justice" Earth-16 DC Universe was destroyed too (off-screen), and is that the reason, why the show had not been picked up for a fifth season? If so, whoever made that decision clearly made a huge mistake, and if the show doesn't get renewed, I think "Young Justice" should be given a proper conclusion via a series of animated feature-length movies; at least up to the year 2030 in the present-day Earth-16 timeline so that Superboy's role during that year can finally be revealed.
Mr. Weisman,
At the risk of potentially causing you to get pissed off at me, Iâm going to predict what I think will happen in Season 5 of âYoung Justiceâ should it somehow gets renewed. Keep in mind that my predictions are not listed in any particular order.
#1. Supergirl and Black Mary will be the main focus of Season 5.
#2. The Justice League will face another situation in which the public loses faith in them; this will be in art due to Supergirl and Black Mary.
#3. Supergirl will initially be loyal to the cause of Apokolips, but her loyalty will gradually waver over the course of the first half of the season due to her encounters with Superman, Superboy, and Jonny Kent. Supergirlâs encounter with Superboy would be similar to what happened in the comics; to the point of temporarily dislocating his jaw after punching him.
#4. As Mary Bromfield was considered to becoming a member of the Justice League Reserves, she will become an infiltrator until she eventually betrays them publicly.
#5. After Black Maryâs public betrayal, Khalid will privately confront Zatanna about her indirect role in Maryâs turn to villainy.
#6. In the Season 5 midseason finale, Black Mary will attempt to personally kill Zatanna and ends up killing Doctor Fate instead when he takes the fatal blow for Zatanna. Zatanna will initially believe it is one of her apprentices; until the mask falls off and it is revealed to be her father, Giovanni. Shocked yet satisfied with the outcome, Black Mary whispers something in her ear and leaves; causing Zatanna to suffer an emotional breakdown and causing her to go into a catatonic state for most of the second half of Season 5.
#7. In the second half of Season 5, Superboy reveals to his teammates and some members of the Jsutice League that he heard what Black Mary told Zatanna to cause the latter to have a breakdown and go into a catatonic state. Black Maryâs words to Zatanna is that once again Zatanna lost her father, and this time itâs for good, and Zatanna ha no one to blame but herself.
#8. Khalid is confronted by the Team, Shazam and some of the members of Justice League who personally knew Giovanni; causing him to reveal Zatannaâs indirect role in Mary becoming a villain.
#9. In the Season 5 midseason finale, Supergirl ends up crashing at the school where Jonny Kent is attending. Upon seeing Jonny, Kara recalls a memory that was suppressed due to her trauma from her time in the Phantom Zone; this memory would be her being introduced to her baby cousin Kal-El for the first time. Therefore, she assumes Jonny is Kal-El due to the fact she does not believe Superman is Kal-El. When one of Black Maryâs attacks causing a large gas truck to fall over and causes it to burn and leak gasoline. numerous children and parents flee for their lives because the turck is about to explode. When Jonny is knocked down and cries and Lois is apparently unable to reach him in time, Kara hears Jonnyâs cry (as it mixes with her memory of baby Kal-Elâs cry and how she tried to console him), and reaches Jonny at blindly fast speed to shield him from the explosion. Enraged that Jonny was almost hurt, Kara lashes out Black Mary and fights her; only to end up being stabbed with Kryptonite dagger in her gut by Black Mary. Black Mary then deems Kara a traitor due to the latterâs actions.
#10. Supergirl recovers in what appears to be a cross between a hospital room and a jail cell; due to the fact that there is mixed opinions about her due to her actions during the first half of Season 5. Likewise, Supergirl admits to having doubts and doesnât know what to bleive anymore.
#11. Despite their previous misunderstanding, Supergirl will share a familial bond with Superboy; due to the fact that they are both close in age physiologically. She would learn about Earth culture from him as well.
#12. Black Mary will prove to be apparently irredeemable by the end of Seaosn 5; as such, two possible scenarios regarding her possible fate will happen to her:
Scenario A: As an indirect nod to the film, âMan of Steel,â Black Mary will attempt to kill a group of innocent people in order to validate her rage towards everyone hwo apparently betrayed her. Supergirl, who would have Black Mary in a chokehold would beg Black Mary to stop before being forced to snap Maryâs neck; leaving Kara emotionally distraught over what she was forced to do..
Scenario B: Black Mary is captured and sent to Sanctuary while wearing a power-dampening collar around her neck. As a sign that she has mentally slipped towards insanity and her willingness to accept that she was not shunned by those around her, Mary would be shown having dark bags under her eyes; which would be shown as her being consumed by hatred and her belief that everyone has put her down.
Was the reason "Young Justice" was NOT renewed for a fifth season was because the multiverse was wiped out in the "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths" animated movie trilogy?
1) Did Wally ever truly have the potential to phase? Youâve said before that Wallyâs speed is about acceleration weâre as Barry has more control over his actual speed, is this why Barry was able to phase and Wally wasnât it was it due to a lack of experience?
2) Itâs heavily implied that Impulseâs speed is like Barryâs (he can phase, experience time slown down, disarm enemies quickly, organise rocks in a pattern within 2 seconds to resemble himself, and play ping pong against himself). Do you think Jay Garrickâs speed is the same as Barry and Impulseâs or do you think it is more akin to Wallyâs speed or something else entirely?
3) Is Wally faster than Jay?
4) Icon was somewhat compared to Superman (as it was asked if superman thought he was kryptonian), does this mean he is of a similar speed to superman while flying?
5) Do you think if Jay, Superman, Captain Marvel, Lieutenant Marvel, and Sergeant Marvel where all contributing kinetic energy in âendgameâ Wally would have survived, or do you think more would have died?
Hello Greg, this Brooklyn (Shaun), and as promised here is my CONvergence 2024 Con Journal:
I am going to admit that the last time I had written one of these was for the final Gathering of The Gargoyles back in 2009. Hard to believe it has been 15 years, which not only makes me feel old, but probably does the same for Greg Weisman. Sorry Greg.
After the Gatherings came to end, I attended a few other cons, but none of them quite had the same feel. I tried out AnthroCon for the first time in 2013 so I had been kind of curious about the furry fandom. I ended up behind the tables again, but not as a volunteer, but as a dealers assistant. And it became my go to summer convention.
I hadn't beard about the 20th anniversary get together for 2014, so I missed that one. If I had known about it, you can bet I would have been there instead of AnthroCon. Oooops.
In the 2017, I went from living in Sacramento, CA to the small city of Pacific, WA (about 30 miles south of Seattle). I guess I felt the need to spread my wings a bit. Fast forward to AnthronCon 2023, and I heard about the 30th anniversary of Gargoyles. And that it would be at CONvergence.
More or less immediately, I told my roommate that they were going to be on their own next year. After not seeing my fellow fans for 15+ years, I had to go. Now we fast forward to 2024.
Wednesday July 3rd, 2024:
I departed for SeaTac airport a little later than intended, but had given myself plenty of time. Getting through security was quick, but my flight was delayed just under an hour. Wouldn't be a trip without some sort of minor hiccup early on. Thankfully, the flight was nice, and relatively smooth.
Got into Minneapolis Saint Paul airport a bit later than planned. Not going to lie, it was quite the hike trying to find my way over to the car rental place. Felt like I was going up, down, left, and right. I tend to have a decent sense of direction, but that airport design was defeating me.
Finally located it, got my car, and headed for the hotel. After some minor issues with the card, and after getting that settled, I got checked in, and went up to the room. After a bit, I decided to mosey across the street to pick up my badge.
After doing that, I went back downstairs where I ran across Patrick, Karine, Greg B., and a few others whose names escape me at the moment. We ended up talking for a while when Seth, Sammy, and some fans I hadn't met before joined us.
We ended talking for a while before calling it a night.
Thursday July 4th:
As I was preparing to get ready for the day, I noticed I had forgotten to pack socks. Usually when I take a trip, I will forget something, and typically something rather minor. Toothbrush, comb, toothpaste, or some other small item that easy to get from the hotel itself. But socks? Yeah, that rather dumb of me.
So off to the Target that was 3 or 4 blocks away. Of course, it started to sprinkle as I headed over there. Why not add a little insult to injury? Got the socks, some drinks, and snacks for the con. Hoofed it back, and had to get out of the wet shirt into something a bit more dry.
Off to the main hotel. I joined various others in the lobby area. While there, I started passing out some of the âBeware of Gargoylesâ badges I had brought along. I had brought along 24 of them. Some of the first ones I handed out to were some of the fans that I ran across from the Gathering of The Gargoyles. Gave out to a few of the newer fans, but wanted to make sure to save one for Greg, Thom, and Keith David.
After a while, wandered down to join the Meet and Greet Gargoyles Cast line. Missed out getting an autograph from Thom, Brigitte Bako, and Greg. But was able to get Keith David's autograph, and a selfie with him. And was able to hand off one of the badges to Greg. It was neat to see him clip to his lanyard nearly right away.
Went across the street to the diner with Seth, Sammy, and Laurean to get some dinner. Tried out the grilled cheese, which was pretty decent. And it came more fries than I was expecting. It was a tasty meal before heading back for the Gargoyles 30th Anniversary Celebration.
It was great to see both Gregs, Brigitte, Thom, Karine, Keith, Jennifer, Zehra, and Erin on stage. Probably the first time I've attended a panel of any sort in years. Made sure to take a couple of pictures to send to one of the German fans; Duncan.
Got to talk with Greg Weisman, along with a few others for a bit. Kind of found it surprising that he remembers who I am 15 years after the last the Gathering. Remembers the handle, but not my name (It is Shaun). To be honest, the same applies to me as well. I can sometimes remember both, or just one. Happens to us all.
Friday July 5th:
After getting ready for the day, back to the con hotel. Chatted with some fellow fans before going to the Voice acting panel. Once that was done, I decided to wander the dealers room before going to the âVoices from Eyrieâ panel. Not going to lie, going to need to catch up on those podcasts.
From there, headed up for the Gargoyles in comics one. Not going to lie, I was happy when the comics started coming out again, and was hooked once again. Would love to see more of Dark Ages, along more Timedancer as well besides what was covered in the SLG run. Plus would love to see, and learn more about Gargoyle customs. Especially their courting rituals. What can I say? I'm curious.
Received some art from Y2Hecate that I commissioned her to draw of my characters. And handed off another art idea of a couple of different characters that needed some love too.
Went back to my hotel room for a little before getting dinner at the diner again. The next thing I checked out was the Fancy Bastard Pie Competition. Only 5 pies were submitted. Even so, it was an interesting thing to behold.
After that ended, I have Brigitte Bako my Beware of Gargoyles badge. She had been looking for one, and I was more than happy to give her mine. Certainly made her night. Seeing the joy, and smile made it all the worth while. And got to take a selfie with her.
My roommate has the master file for the badge design, so next time I will make sure I have far more than the 24 I brought.
Skip forward a bit in time for the Blue Mug, and then off to sleep.
Saturday July 6th:
Made a dash up the street to Target again since Kythera suggested getting some Oreos before taking a picture with them to send off to Duncan. Ate some breakfast, and off to the con hotel.
Went off to a panel whose name escapes me at the time of writing this. Wandered for a bit afterwards, and then got in the line for the radio play. âI'm right here!â indeed.
From there, off too jump in the Meet and Greet line to get a Gargoyles comic signed by Greg Weisman. I spotted a couple of variant covers that I did not have, and was able to have those signed instead. I do the love the comment âI feel sorry for you, I sign the same thing for you every time.â Replied saying that I didn't mind. To me, it is always a treat.
Probably wandered some more before Hitting up the Young Justice, and Spectacular Spider-Man panels. Admittedly, I need to watch both of those.
Did a little more talking with a few folks before getting some badly needed food.
Back into my hotel room, I had very random thought; minus the whole time dancing thing, part of my younger life was sort of like gNash's life. Moving from one place to another without being able too settle down. Not really the sort of thing one expects to pop into ones head when trying to get to sleep.
Sunday July 7th:
I guess while I slept, my brain probably kept it bouncing around. And came to a realization after I woke up. Pardon some of the phrasing.
It is weird realizing one of the reasons that "Gargoyles" drew me in 30 years after the show came out. I was a military (USAF) brat until I was 15. So moving around was a regular thing, but hard to understand when you are young. More so when you live 7 (technically 6 as we came back to the same place for a second time, but one doesn't know what's changed either) different places in 13 years.
Wanting to make friends was a challenge. Not just a matter of trust, but not knowing when said friendship might end because of him being assigned to a different base states away. Or being deployed overseas. Even after the final move, it was still difficult to make, and to hold on to friends for years.
Seeing the show when it first came on the air, I could empathize with their thoughts, and feelings of being in a strange new place. Figuring out the layout, who to trust, or even become friends with. In high school, I could count my amount of friends on one hand.
That aside, going to the Gathering of The Gargoyles 2000 in Orlando was the first step in spreading my wings. And a leap of faith. I didn't know what I was getting into. What sort of folks would be meeting? I was still in my shell as as I was still a fairly shy person.
It started cracking my shell, and then the subsequent Gatherings finally brought me out. Along with meeting folks that I can still call friends to this day.
And today, I realize just how much that show meant to me. The connections it helped make to so many wonderful, and talented people. But more importantly, it helped me find a clan that I'm lucky to be a part of. Plus helped change into what I sincerely hope is a far person than I might have been if it hadn't been for Gargoyles.
Heck of a thing to wake up to.
The day of going to three back to back Gargoyles panels. First up was Bio/ Culture, and of course, the panel ran over on time. After Greg, loves to hear himself talk. But hey, that's part of the reason the fandom likes you.
Gargoyles to screen quickly followed. Unlike his previous panels where he has prepared âAbsolutly nothing,â he was prepared. I've heard most of this before, but it is still awesome to see, and hear again for the first time in years. And âBetter than Barney.â I don't think I'll ever get over that comment. Much like the previous panel, this one ran over as well.
And last one up was Gargoyle visually. He was prepared for this one as well, and again I've seen all of these before. Still a treat though. Didn't have time to show all of the clips. Some of us were saddened by the sight of the Ed Asner clips. I wish I had gotten to chance to meet him, even just once.
A little while later, it was off to closing ceremonies. Got a selfie with Greg before some of us went off to get dinner. After coming back to the hotel, we met up with him in the lobby for a bit before getting milkshakes at the diner.
All of us had to order online since they wanted an $3 if we placed the order in person. Probably took close to an hour to get all of our orders, and there were a few mix ups. I got a butterscotch one. Was okay, but I've had better.
We hung around talking for a bit in the lobby before various folks in the the group started saying their goodbyes before going to bed for their various early morning flights. Very bittersweet moment to say the least.
Headed back to my hotel to pack, and prepare for my trip home the next day. It certainly felt bittersweet; getting to see fellow fans for the first time in 15 years, if not longer, and feeling the line did not last enough. Always hard to say goodbye.
Monday July 8th:
The day felt rather bittersweet as I drover back to the airport. Nearly got lost on the way after being able to get into the proper highway lane. After getting to the airport, and returning the car, the fun started trying to get from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1.
MSP does not make it easy. More going all over the place to find the light rail to get there, and more hiking all over the place. Got lost inside more than once due the signage not being great. After 30 minutes, I finally got to the security check point, and was through that in 5 minutes.
Started typing this out while waiting for my flight. No delay this time, and a little over 3 hours later, I was back at SeaTac airport. Took an hour to drive home, bringing the trip to end. Typing this out also feels bittersweet, but I did promise Greg that I would write one up even if it will be a few years before he responds. Plus akes me realize I really need to be less of a stranger in the fandom.
Already miss talking to you, and all of the others as well.
Hi Greg, I absolutely LOVE this show so much and wanted to say don't listen to haters !! i think this show in wonderful. I wanted to ask why season four of young justice isn't available in Australia? I actually shed a few tears when i found out i couldn't watch it :'( .
1. What are the human biological equivalent ages and the chronological ages of all the New Gods from both New Genesis and Apokolips that have been shown thus far in the Earth-16 universe?
2. If Kalibak, Grayven, and Orion are paternal half-brothers (since their father is Darkseid), that what are the names of their respective mothers?
3. What are the physiological ages of all the people who have been trapped in the Phantom Zone in the Earth-16 universe? Furthermore, how long ago was each person sent to the Phantom Zone prior to Krypton's destruction?
in a scene, Klarion and Child talked about an 'Earth 17 fiasco', what was it about??
"Everyone's SO impatient for everything to be included instantly. And then they also bitch when we include too much and THEIR favorite character isn't getting enough screentime because of it. Talk about a no-win scenario."
This type of pathetic whining and bitching is why I don't have a lot of respect for you! You IGNORE these type of questions instead of responding to them! If I ever meet you in person, I'm going smack you upside the head!
is young justice season 5 coming ?
What books have you been reading?
hi Greg my name is Nicole cook I'm 27 years old and I have autism I have made over 25 new character's for young justice I'll keep them safe for you because I can't post them to you
TRUE OR FALSE?
#1. In the new timeline, the Daxamite race are descended from the children of Superboy and Miss Martian in the Earth-16 universe; with Mon-El presumably being an 31st-century descendant even though he has not made an appearance yet. Furthermore, presumably due to human/Kryptonian/Martian hybrid genetics passed down throughout the generations, the Daxamites' weakness changes from Kryptonite to lead.
#2. M'comm M'orzz is the direct ancestor of Chameleon Boy in the Earth-16 universe due to M'comm and his rebellious White Martian group being relocated to present-day Durla.
#3. In the Earth-16 universe, the date of May 14, 2030 marks the formation of the present-day incarnation of the United Planets (presumably, in part, due to Superboy's actions on this fateful day) and therefore will be acknowledged as "Unity Day."
#4. Assuming Young Justice ever gets a fifth season, it is possible that Kara Zor-El and Black Mary will become major characters; with Kara gradually doubting the dark path she is following and becoming a hero as a result of multiple encounters with members of her family, and Black Mary staying down her dark path right to the very end due to feeling betrayed by Zatanna and perhaps wanting to kill her former mentor in revenge.
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the revelation of Kara Zor-El in the post-credits scene of the Season 4 YJ finale, was she sent to the Phantom Zone because she was truly a criminal, or was she sent there because her parents (Zor-El and Alura-El; the latter formerly known as Alura In-Ze) believed that it was the only way they could ensure that their daughter would be able to survive Krypton's inevitable destruction; assuming no ships were allowed to leave Krypton despite Jor-El's warning about Krypton's fate?
Hey!
So quick question for the gargoyles on sleep. I'm well aware of the current stone sleep but if a gargoyle isn't outside during the day I have a question
Are gargoyle able to sleep during the night? Like would that give them thebre0laced energy?
You previously mentioned in the comments that you complied a huge list of villains you considered for the light, do you plan to publish the list?
If you had the chance, are there any plot points or character arcs you'd want to explore in W.I.T.C.H. in today's world that you wouldn't have been able to write in the 2000s?
Just finished Spectacular Spider-Man (a little late I know,) and Iâm left with a profound sense of longing. What was to become of Peter and Gwen? How would the rest of the city react to Norman Osbornâs disappearance? I guess what I really want to know is will this show ever come back and give marvel fans something to smile about for a change?
For Roughnecks, did their rifles fire bullets, or were they generic lasers?
1. Was the old woman whose body the ultra-humanite possessed before taking the Gorillaâs body Doloris Winters.
2. Did the Brain join the light before he removed his own brain.
3. Did the Brain and Mallah ever fight the doom patrol before they died.
4. Are Mallah and the Brain a couple like in the comics?
how many children does darkseid have?
Hey Greg! I'm a big fan art Gargoyles and just had a question to ask about a couple of my fave characters/villains: Sevarius and Taro! I love them both so I was pretty excited when the comics seemed to hint at their past team-up on an unknown project. I'm just curious, what do you imagine their past interactions being like (like would they get along well etc?) If this plays into a future plot point feel free to ignore the first half of the question, but aside from any specific dealings they may or may not have had with eachother, in general I'm just curious about what their hypothetical dynamic would be. I always saw them both as being very queer-coded, but that might just be my own bias as an queer person. Am I onto something valid for thinking they would make a great, hammy, evil power-duo couple, or is that very different from how you envisioned the characters? Either way, thanks for including so much representation in your work :)
Hi Greg, hope you're great, I am rewatching Young Justice for third time, and a lot of my questions were answered by the Wiki or this web, but I have a doub:
1) During most part of Season 2, 8 leaguers were out of planet, how did they justify their secret identity absence from work? I don't really know if GL, WW or the Hawks have secret identities, but for example, didn't Perry White wondered where Clark had been that entire time? Or didn't anyone in Gotham noticed that Burce Wayne hadn't appeared in a long time?
Hey Greg, hope all is well.
Watching Young Justice for the second time through right now.
Hoping there will be a new season at some point.
Let me know what you think!
Why do say your young justice story has no ending when you have a complete timeline of your young justice story on your computer?
Hey Greg this is a hypothetical question so if you were introduce the crime syndicate in earth 16, who be the members and who be cast as voice actors? would it be voice actors from the show or actors from previous DC projects or both
Apparently you have a new email address since the Rebels days -- it has been a minute. Mine is the same, hit me up.
Hello! I recently binge-watched W.I.T.C.H and fell back in love with it
One thing that bummed me out was that the songs in S2 never saw a proper release, even though the full versions exist. Would you happen to be willing to share the full/clean versions, if they are in your possession? If not then would you happen to know who I might ask for that?
Did Zatanna's mother Sindella possess any affinity for the mystic arts whatsoever in Young Justice?
How would you taxonomize the gargoyle race (scientifically classify them)? I know you have already stated in the past that they belong to a fictional order known as 'gargates', but how would the rest of the categories be decided?
how many children does highfather have?
Has darkseid ever interacted with any chaos lords?
What is the process of actually laying gargoyle eggs, and is it related to human pregnancy?
How old was Queen Bee when she became ruler of Bialya?

Do you have any artwork based around the various spinoff ideas such as the New Olympians? Also, with upcoming live action Gargoyles show, have you considered pitching these spinoff ideas to disney again?
Hi Greg,
I know you probably get these types of questions and suggestions a lot. But I thought it might be worth a shot to ask. For the Spectacular Spiderman I understand that the showâs revival is unlikely. But as I heard you talk about movies etc. I read that Sony sold Disney the rights to create Spiderman shows; which Disney has kind of been falling off of after the Ultimate Spiderman. But, Disney did not buy the rights to any movies. So in theory you and Sony can revive the series, in hour to hour and a half films, and technically not be breaking anything legally. Sony owns the Spectacular Spiderman character and can still use it to this day, but just not in any TV series. The show ended on a huge cliffhanger and I think it could make a huge hit again. As Disney has revived Xmen 97â and made a lot of money and a huge hit. I think that a Spectacular Spiderman revival could be an even better revival than Xmen 97â. I know you are not Sony and donât really have any control over this. But maybe if making a post on twitter/x or any other social media encouraging spectacular spiderman revival via movies/short films, maybe it could get the attention of Sony and convince a revival. I have heard that Josh Keaton would be totally open to playing the role again if it was revided. The showâs ending did not feel right and the show deserves justice to itâs ending. At the end of the day, Iâm just a fan, with a dream. This dream is very unlikely but still worth shot. As for my question; I always wondered how Captain Stacy hinted that he knew Peterâs indentity. Were there plans for this to be revealed in future seasons/movies? As for my final comment and question is why Spectacular Spiderman was against Miles in Across the Spider-Verse. Spectacular always knew he could never look the other way. But in Across the Spider-Verse he made it very clear he felt different now. Props to you if you made it this far in this âsmall questionâ This might be out of your hands but I think that it is worth a shot. Hope you are doing well and thank you for making my childhood special with the series âThe Spectacular Spidermanâ
You're a personal hero of mine and I'm sure you get requested questions like these all the time, so forgive me if you've already answered this in a previous post that I couldn't find.
But do you have any advice about long term story telling, within a serialised format?
I'm planning on writing my own Web series so any advice, especially from a pro, would be greatly appreciated.
About young justice,

2are there news about season 5?
Young justice s5 will come soon?please
What is the tallest height can miss martian make herself be with her shape shifting power in young justice universe?
Hello there! As I was watching the last episode of W.i.t.c.h. just now, a question I've been wondering about for years came back to me. Towards the end once Cedric has been defeated and the previous guardians along with Elyon and Yan Lin manage to free themselves from the seal, we can see Cassidy in her guardian form in a few shots. I'm assuming it's an animation mistake as she alters outfits between scenes, so my question is was there at some point a moment where after being freed, the fact of her having been brought back to life going to be addressed more in depth than just in Will's voice-over but got cut out of the episode due to time or some other factors or was that simply an animation error that I'm reading way too much into?
Why did you not have young justice comic issues made based on young justice season 2 episodes that you were not able have to have made ?
In Season 2, Conner and M'gann kept the true reason behind their break up a secret from everyone, but I'm curious about 2 things...
1. What excuse did they say to everyone who questioned them about why they broke up?
2. By the end of the season, which members of the team discovered the real reason behind their break up?
Questions about the Team's Reactions to Supermartian's Break Up in Season 2
1. Why didn't anybody on the Team say anything about Conner and M'gann's relationship in season 2?
2. Wasn't anyone curious about why they broke up?
3. Why didn't any of them try to help get them back together aside from Garfield?
4. Did any members of the Team pick a side in the break up?
5. How did they react to the fact that so soon after the break up, M'gann rebounded with La'gaan.
Hi Greg! Do you do podcasts? Would love to have you on mine.
Is there anything from gargoyles that you wished you could've changed or are you happy with how it turned out?
Where did The Light build and launch the ice fortresses seen in "Coldhearted"?
Queen Bee is one of Young Justice's most promising characters, but she hasn't been utilised as much. (For reference, she has 6 speaking roles, compared to Klarion's 11, Lex's 18, Vandal's 20, and even Ra'as' 7).
1. Was this because of issues with availability of the fantastically-talented Marina Sirtis? Or her not easily fitting into the plot? Or both?
2. If the series were to get additional seasons, would there be plans to finally give her the screentime she deserves?
3. Do you have any idea how her arc might end? Or even her backstory?
Hi Greg!
My main question is: will you be helping to produce a fifth season of "Young Justice"? I have been doing extensive research into who has produced and could produce a new season of my favorite show. I thought it was worth a shot to reach out to you! Like many others, I am hopeful for a fifth season of "Young Justice." I was wondering if you could offer any insight into the continuation of this remarkable show.
Thanks so much, and hope you're doing well!!!!!!!
Hi Greg! I am a long-time fan of both Gargoyles and Young Justice. I am also a literature grad student so I thoroughly appreciate a lot of your literary references in both works :)
One reference that has always somewhat confused me is all the references to the Rime of The Ancient Mariner (Forager refers to his glamour charm as an albatross around his neck, Conner reads it in season two, etc.) as it is a bit obscure of a work. I guess I just wanted to know if there was any significance to these references. Is it just a book you liked, so you included it? Is it just a running joke? Is it some secret third thing?
Hey Greg Weisman You Never Answer Anything Of My 3 Previous Question I Can Give You 5 Question.
1. Are You Involved With The Live-Action Gargoyles Series?
2. Are You Hype With Beyond The Spider-Verse?
3. Are You Hype With Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man?
4. Will There Be The 5th Season Of Young Justice?
5. Are You Hype With Live-Action DCU Teen Titans Movie?
Hello ,
I hope this finds you well. My name is Chris Camp. I need the service of an illustrator/cartoonist to draw some images for an upcoming school program. I'll describe the characters as vividly as possible to make it easy for you to do the job. Please get back to me for more details.
Cheers!
Could you describe the bad days Miss Martian was going through in season 4 after she returned to Earth and was still grieving Superboy's death? I'm curious about the details and just how bad were those days?
Hello, I have been a long time admirer of your storytelling. Gargoyles was my favorite show growing up. My day would not be complete without my daily dose of those defenders of the night. Because of the many references to Shakespeare throughout the show, i went on to study literature in college. But enough about me. My question is a simple one. I've done my research but could not find anyone else asking this question.
Goliath always called Demona, most lovingly, his 'angel of the night'. I was curious, if this a term of endearment does Goliath have one for Elisa?
So did the Lords of Chaos backing Child in Season 4 happen to include my personal favorite among their number, Shivering Jemmy of the Shallow Brigade?
About a Сriminal Grisha Volkov. Is Grisha his actual name? Because, for educational purposes, In Russian, Grisha is diminutive for Grigoriy (Ð"ÑигоÑий).
Hey Greg,
So I'm really enjoying the world you have created with Young Justice and I was wondering if you would plan on expanding the universe with more shows and movies to fill in the blanks(There are some fat time skips between seasons). I know you don't really have the power to just flat out say yes to these things, but if given the choice?
I would personally love a batman show called "The Bat Family" or something along those lines that just covers Batman and everyone associated with him. I know next to nothing about spoiler and orphan so something expanding that would be awesome.(Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, and Doom Patrol shows would be cool as well).
Thank You for all your hard work
Hello
I am contacting to ask if Mr. Weisman plans to attend any conventions where I can get my Gargoyles comics printed by SLG publishing signed and graded for my collection? I have them ALL with the graphic novels, with second readable copies. Thank you.
Hi Greg
I loved the show Spectacular Spider-Man and I have been watching to for a long time. I was just curious since you tried to make your show diverse what ethnicity Peter Parker was? I know he is white I am just curious if you ever gave him an ethnicity to relate to. Thank you.
So, i'll try to ask a question as much PG as possible.
So in Slg Comics, Coco says that to keep London Clan population in line, they don't let females lay an egg and isolate females, while they're in heat. So my question is - Does behavior of the Garg females change, when they are in heat? Is it kinda like Betazoid midlife phase from Star Trek, or it is something else...
Dear Greg,
Did you have anyone in mind for who could voice Katana and Nashville?
Sincerely,
Andy
1. Greg, spectacular was absolutely my childhood, if there was even the slightest smallest chance in the universe, if you were asked to continue the spectacular Spider-Man animated series, would you want to?
2. If you were asked to be involved in another spider-man series separate from spectacular, would you be interested?
Hello Greg, thank you for showing polyamory in mainstream television. My question is about Dick and Babs.
1. Does Babs enjoy the fact that Dick has other partners?
I ask because in the comics it seems she was pretty into it. Thanks for answering our questions sir?
Hey, Greg. I just wanna say I absolutely loved your work on The Spectacular Spider-Man. You helped shape my love for the character, and I can't be more thankful for that.I'm sorry for probably being the billionth person to ask you about what your plans for future seasons where, but anyway, here goes...
How exactly did you want to adapt the character of Morbius the Living Vampire, and what sort of plans did you have for the character, if any?
Thanks
Would Miss Martian do a mind meld with Garfield before Garfield dies so Miss Martian could carry Garfield's soul with her for the rest of her life because Miss Marian knows she ages slower than Garfield?
Can young justice Martians carry another person's soul by do mind meld with them like Spoke did to doctor MCCOY in star trek 2 wrath of khan?
As part of the young justice story why do you believe it was not an injustice to beast boy to have beast boy go down the path of depression to leading beast boy to lose his love relationship with Perdita as coup cause by beast boy believing he cause superboy to die on mars when you Mr. Greg knew supperboy was still alive and superboy was going to get back together with miss Marian at the end of season 4 of young justice?

Is Shari Scheherazade? If so does that mean Disney's Aladdin could have been set around the Dark Ages? I know Elisa dressed as Jasmine and Shari is arabic looking.
Assuming that once Kara is no longer a member of the Female Furies and eventually becomes a hero, will Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers become her adoptive parents in the Earth-16 universe, or will she live with the Kent family?
In the Earth-16 universe, why is Kon-El identified as Kara Zor-El's "cousin" and not as her genetic cousin?
In the Earth-16-universe, does Batman have a violent and unhinged alternate persona that is identified as the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh?
In the Earth-16 universe, is the name of the red sun which Daxam orbits around called Valor?
If pastiches/analogues of the following alien races listed below somehow existed in the DC Universe, and if their existences were explained as evolutionary offshoots of Kryptonians (much like the recently-introduced Phaelosians), what would be good names for these alien races?
#1. Strontians; from the planet Strontia (Marvel Comics)
#2. Dakkamites; from the planet Dakkam (Marvel Comics)
#3. Viltrumites; from the planet Viltrum (Image Comics; Invincible Universe)
#4. Caltronians; from the planet Caltron (âThe Guardians of Justiceâ Netflix TV Series)
Big fan of Young Justice, and a particularly big fan of Wally West! I LOVE this show's adaptation of him, flaws and all. While I was heartbroken (as many fans were) when he died at the end of Season 2, I like seeing the way he's continued to haunt the narrative since then with how his death effected everyone, even people outside the original Team. But I have questions about the speedsters in the show:
1. If Wally hadn't "ceased" at the end of Season 2, would he ever have been as fast (or faster than) Barry and Bart?
2. Is there a reason speedsters don't generate lightning when they run like in the comics (and most adaptations)?
3. Ignoring the potential implications for Wally returning, does the Speed Force exist at all in the Young Justice universe?
In the episode "Vows", there appears to be an information paradox, as Engel received the spell to the Phoenix Gate from her older self, Demona. This means that the knowledge of the magic spell actually has no real source. Or did Angel research the information somewhere beforehand?
Greg, what's up with spectacular spider man, will it come back ? and if so, will it air on Disney XD ?
does the league of shadows still possess the lazarus pits after ra's al ghul left?
Hi Greg,
I donât know if you still look at these posts, but I just want to say thank you for all your work. Watching and speculating about Young Justice inspired me to be a storyteller with how that world works. Even if I disagreed with how you approached the story telling, youâve been a creative Iâve looked upon fondly. I know things have been a bit rough these last few years, but I hope youâre doing well. Thank you and have a nice day.
When are you coming back to answer questions? its been over a year! can you at least turn off the ask your question so it wont get to full
Are there any Gargoyle members in the Avalon Clan who have wings like Lexington? This wing type already seemed to be very rare in the Wyvern Clan, as along with Lex there was only Sacrifice and a gray gargoyle in "Aweking Part One".
Hello! Iâve been wondering for the past five minutes about Fury (Rosa), mostly about her golden gauntlet. Itâs multiple questions about it actually. 1)Why does she wear it? 2)Does she need to wear it? 3)Related, did she lose her lower left arm and thatâs why she wears it? 4) Or does she just like wearing it? I mean it looks super cool so I wouldnât be surprised if a younger Rosa just wanted it for the coolness factor. If you do ever get to continue your markovia storyline Iâm super excited to see what you have planned for her and Brion! (Donât feel bothered to answer if this does go into spoiler territory)
How old was Troia when she joined the team?
Hello, I hope you're doing well and have many more chances to show the world your creativity.
My question for you today is about Gargoyles, more specifically David Xanatos, the Lex Luthor to Golaith's Superman.
I'm not asking for any specifics or anything, but did you create a mom for David?
I know he has one, because his dad didn't exactly make him on his own (as far as we know, of course). I'm just curious if she was actually a fleshed-out character in your mind. Did you put thought into her, make up a history for her, have her be an influence on David? Think of any storylines using her?
Or did you decide that she wouldn't have a role in Xanatos life from the beginning and just left her as Xanatos's Mother and nothing more?
I hope you don't consider this a spoiler, I've been really curious about her, ever since we saw his dad and was introduced to their rocky relationship.
Thank you again for your wonderful creations!
young justice season 4 was so good that a season 5 was not made.
It is truly is an honor to be writing to you Mr. Weisman I really admire your work on the animation you do for shows such as the spectacular Spider-Man and young justice tv series . Yah you did a marvelous job on both them hope you keep up the good work .
1.) In spider verse where it shows Captain Stacy would die I kinda was stump on that one perhaps if the series does come back we can keep all the characters alive no one can die ?
2.) will Peter friends and their families discover his secret ?
3.) will Eddie Brock harry Osborn flash reconcile with Peter .
4.) Will their be new characters such as Clash Silk Anya Miles morales Martian lee beetle hydro man madam web bystander carnage
5.) will sable formed the wild pack ?
6.) will doctor Connorâs get his lab back from Miles Warren with Gwen Stacy getting evidence
7.) does Peter have a sibling called Teresa Parker
8.) will Norman return for revenge and become the Goblin King for the Goblin nation with all Spider-Manâs enemies as his commanders .
9.) will Mj be with Peter as his girl friend ?
10.) if we have a movie with spectacular Spider-Man and Marvels Spider-Man how will play out ?
Where's the DVD and bluray release of YJ season 4? I know you said one was in the works, but I am getting very annoyed with the empty slot on my shelf. Please get us all a concrete answer before the shelf slot becomes an empty slot on HBOMax.
How old were Jor-El, Lara El, and Zor-El when Krypton was destroyed?
1. Superboy is shown and stated to be weaker than superman, how strong is he compared to other average kryptonians? If they were a 10 what would Conner be?
2. In the finale of the S4 vs the house of zod, he holds his own against the zods despite being weak from the phantom zone and prior damage, and only a slight recharge. In a 1v1 fight against a full kryptonian would he be able to hold his own?
3. Finally regarding Jon (superman son) he was mentioned to have heat vision in one of the credit scenes of an episode in s4, is there any reason he would heat vision and Conner wouldnât when they are both half kryptonian? Is it just chance like genetics like how one âbrotherâ can be taller than the other?
Are dragons the Lost Race, or are they counted with gargoyles?
Salut Greg
Qu'as fait Bumblebee à sa fille?
Hey Greg Have You Try Streaming Disney+ & Max For Your Shows?
Has Bart Allen befriended Tye Longshadow since both are essentially best friends with Jaime Reyes?
Does Brave Bow exist on Earth 16?
1. What are the names of the members of the Bumblebees cheerleaders, besides Megan Morse, Wendy Harris and Karen Beecher?
2. Do Raven and Starfire exist in Earth-16?
3. Could there possibly be a reboot to the Young Justice animated series with teen comedy?
4. Will Batman meet his son, Damian?
I really liked your books A Rain of the Ghosts Novels. I read both yours books I would have loved to see how they figure it all out and the conclusion of the finding of the zemis. Sorry to hear you not continuing with the series again would have loved to read them. Thank You. Have a good day. oliviaahern2003@gmail.com
Hey Greg Have You Watch Morbius Movie?
I was thinking about "Vendettas" and I was wondering if there was still a village nearby where the castle once stood. Is the village still the same one that Captain Robert and his daughter lived in? If so, does the village still stand by the time Wolf finds Hakon and his axe?
Have You Play Marvel's Spider-Man For PS4?, Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales For PS4 and PS5? & Marvel's Spider-Man 2 For PS5?
I really liked your books A Rain of the Ghosts Novels. I read both yours books I would have loved to see how they figure it all out and the conclusion of the finding of the zemis. Sorry to hear you not continuing with the series again would have loved to read them. Thank You. Have a good day.
After the events of the Young Justice episode evolution has Cassandra savage ever been to the history cave under Khuiten peak and monalonged her favorate parts of Vandal's backstory to herself there while wearing her baseball cap or newsgirl cap from time to time ?
In the episode "Turf" you see Pal Joey twice. Once in the attack of Dracon's car slaughterhouse, where there is a Joey on the roof before being stunned by the gas and another Joey with Glasses inside. When the train is attacked you can see both of them next to each other.
I assume it's an animation error. But can we avoid the fact that Joey has a twin brother who also works for the Dracons?
Was 'Humanity' (Young Justice season 1 episode 15) influenced by the climax of Pluto (a 2003-2009 Japanese comic series)?
Hello, Mr. Weisman. I have some questions regarding Young Justice.
1. Are Mist and Livewire lesbian and a couple on Earth-16?
2. Are Wonder Woman and Catwoman bisexual on Earth-16?
Did Garfield learn that kid flash's name was wally west before or after Garfield begin living at mount justice?
After reading Gargoyles Dark Ages, I have to ask. Did Lexington choose his 'new' name because his childhood human friend named him 'Alexander' and the 'Lex' part reminded him of her?
The Megalith Dance is it a "ghost cage"? Is that how the Captain Robert & Hakon were imprisoned in the Archmage's Cave for a thousand years? Could it also be how the archmage was able to survive his apparent death fall? Is it also like the Phoenix gate capable of time-travel?
Hey Greg I love your series and everything you do especially young Justice but Iâm curious on why Zatanna and nightlong broke up i honestly love them being together and I think theyâre endgame because it is a different universe and I would love for them to still be together I was they are just so perfect together in my opinion and I hope maybe you do pair them together again and they stay together
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to do an interview on my YouTube podcast Diabolical Souls Presents? I would like to discuss your career and new upcoming projects. I want to thank you in advance for any consideration and look forward to hearing back from you. email-devilishdoyleart@gmail.com
Hi Greg,
Sorry if this is too hypothetical, but you have said before that "a version of Team Atlantis exists in the Gargoyles Universe". If Dynamite Comics asked you to write (or oversee as an editor of some sort) an ongoing Atlantis comic book series with Milo and Kida set in the canon Gargoyles Universe, is that something you would ever be interested in?
In the past, you have pointed out contradictions between the Atlantis Universe and the Gargoyles Universe, but they all seem to come from unproduced and unreleased episodes of the spin-off series. If you yourself were given the opportunity by Dynamite and Disney to write/shape the direction of the franchise, unencumbered by the Team Atlantis material, would you be more willing to do a full canon import of the theatrical Atlantis film into Gargoyles continuity?
Mr. Weissman, now that you are working with Dynamite Comics, don't you think it would be a good idea to put that idea you had for the New Olympics Spin Off that you were thinking of doing?
I think it would be a good opportunity to expand the Gargoyle universe.
Hi Greg,
I just backed the Dynamite Kickstarter at the three trade paperback level. Now that I will own the entire canon, I was wondering if you had a suggested reading order for the comics. Is it as simple as Clan Building > Bad Guys > Here in Manhattan > Dark Ages > Quest, or should I be alternating between the series issue by issue in release order? And where is the best place to slot the Halloween Special, I know it was set further in the timeline than where it was released. Thank you and feel free to include any future (for me, past for you when you answer this) Gargoyles canon in your answer.
Since Gargoyles is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, could Disney release Gargoyles on Blu-Ray?
could we get more Gargoyles spin offs for Pendragon, The New Olympians, Time Dancer, Gargoyles 2198, Heroes of Ulster, more Gargoyles stories in comics by Dynamite.
Really enjoyed learning more about the Lords of Order/Chaos in Season 4. Particularly the Holy Balance. It's mentioned that an imbalance destroyed a previous universe.
Was wondering: is the Holy Balance a light/dark situation, or a MAD/Cold War situation?
So can Order truly not live without Chaos (and vice-versa), or is Balance more to do with the idea that the Lords would destroy everything were if full conflict were to break out?
In 2011 after Queen Bee kill Marie logan during the year of 2011 after Garfield begin living with Rita did Garfield attend a school, or did Rita homeschool him in 2011? This before 2012 when Gaffield's skin turns green THAT I AM ASKING ABOUT .
1. Are you a science geek like Spidey/Pete?
2. How does it feel writing your own Spider-Man title?
3. As a science geek, I was wondering if TSSM had continued if there would of been more science fiction based stories in season 3,4 and 5 and beyond?.
Which issue of DC Challenge did you ghost-write?
Hello, Greg!
1. May I ask why Puck gave David Xanatos the choice between a wish and having Owen as an employee?
I understand he wanted to test Xanatos to see which he would choose, but wouldn't testing to see if giving Xanatos a wish at all lead to the same result if Xanatos chose to use the wish to make Owen his employee?
2. Furthermore, I'm not sure I understand entirely, so I just wanted to be sure - did Xanatos choose Owen over wishing for immortality because he 3anted someone who was loyal and hardworking without fault?
Thank you so much for taking the time if you're able to answer these questions.
Who do you consider to be the Main/Central Antagonists of the series? Demona? Illuminatis ? The Weird Sisters? Mab? Or the aliens who will invade Earth in the 22nd century?
Many of the Star Wars Rebels characters you helped develop have recently returned to our screens, this time in live-action in The Mandalorian and in Ahsoka.
1A. Have you watched Ahsoka?
1B. If so, are you happy with the seriesâ portrayal of the Ghost Crew?
2A. During your time in the Rebels Season 1 writers room, were there ever any sort of long term pie-in-the-sky ideas discussed for where these characters might end up in the post-Imperial era?
2B. If so, do you see any of those ideas reflected in the Ahsoka series or Zebâs appearance in The Mandalorian?
2C. Do you think it is possible that some old index cards from your time on Rebels are finally seeing the light of day all these years later in the Ahsoka series?
My sincerest apologies if you find some of these questions inappropriate. Iâve tried my best to keep the questions relevant to you and your experience at Lucasfilm, but I understand that your time there was brief and that you may not have much to say in terms of the answers Iâm looking for.
1. You said on this website some years ago that you had watched Season 2 of Rebels and DVRed the rest of the series. If you have now finished watching the series and if you are free to talk about it, do you feel like the series ended up following the broad strokes of any overarching series plan you were involved with or were there major deviations?
2. In behind the scenes material for your final episode of Rebels (the season one finale and Ahsokaâs first appearance in the series) Dave Filoni mentions that during his time working on The Clone Wars with George Lucas, he developed an outlined plan regarding Ahsokaâs progression across the Star Wars timeline. Were you ever aware of or witness to this outlined plan of his?
Hi Greg!
I've watched the spectacular spider-man series dozens of times and two questions are tearing my brain to shreds:
1. What did Hobie Brown want to ask Captain Stacy during his lessons in Season 2, but didn't have enough time?
2. Did Captain Stacy know for sure that Peter Parker was Spider-Man?
Thank you for your attention, you are the greatest
In "Leviathan Wakes," Orin mentions that there are 4 Green Lanterns on the Justice League (Hal, Guy, John, & ???). Is the female Forager the fourth?
if young justice never came back for season 5, would you ever consider just telling the rest of the story in comic form?
Hey Anonymous writer
To answer your question for the pilot episode of young justice is the green arrow short film
It can be found on the Superman/shazam the return of black Adam movie on DVD.
If that helps answer your question for the pilot episode of young justice
Hello Greg Weisman!
I wanted say something that hasnât been said a million times by probably every fan youâve spoken to, but I must say, I love your work! Especially the series Young Justice (my favorite television series of all time). Even when compared to other great shows in DC, YJ is still my favorite. It's the grounded espionage, the edgy atmosphere, Phil Bourassa's character design, the details in the world-building, and of course, the wonderful characters and their dynamic. Though the team has grown a lot since the first season (and though weâve suffered quite a loss with Wally), the core group still holds a place in my heart.
Even to this day, this series of sidekicks becoming heroes still grips me even after the 10th watch.
Sorry it got discontinued (again smh). Hopefully James Gunn can knock a few heads at Warner Bros or whoever and get you guys up and running again! Fingers crossed!
(All these questions will be pertaining to Young Justice)
1. Was there ever a Young Justice Test Pilot made, and if so, is it available to see anywhere? I ask this because whenever I watch Season 1âs Theme or look back at old commercials and promotional material, there always seem to be raw clips that has never been in show.
2. What is the significance of the Mysteries of Udolpho book showing up everywhere?
3. Are Barbara Gordon and Cassie Sandmark best friends? Silly question, I know, but Barbara hooking her arm around Cassie in the episode âBeneathâ made me think of this.
4. Has Icicle Jr and Artemis ever tried contacting since the last time they spoke in that comic, and if so, are they still friends?
5. Is there a ceremony for new team members?
Thatâs all. Thanks!
I am a fan of both The Gargoyles and Young Justice series
I will be patient for the young justice season 4 DVDs release
And for season 5 also I will order the gargoyles comic issue and young justice comic
With the Gargoyles 30th anniversary this year, will there be a gathering of gargoyles fans at a convention? I met you and the crew at Convergence 2014 for the 20th anniversary, and I would love to hang out again!
1. Youâve stated in the past that Wally was your favorite speedster is that still the case?
2.any changes in you option of the speed force?
3.where there any talks at all during production about reviving Wally at all?
4.where there talks about adapting the Under the Red hood story line since we know Jason Todd existed in this world?
5. Is season 5 still possible?
There is the house in the episode "Golem" where Rabbi Loew created the golem and the golem was then stored there in the attic. Later Janus appears to live there. I want to know if it is a residential building or a religious building?
How was Count Vertigo in line for the throne of he was Perdita maternal uncle?
In episode Depths of Young Justice: Invasion, when Miss Martian apologized to Superboy after he brought up how she tried to erase his memories, she apologized, but my question is...
Was she really sorry for what she did to Superboy or sorry that she was caught doing it.
How does Superboy & Superman feel pain if they are invulnerable?
Hey Greg not a question per say but you doing ok after the hack on Twitter? I think I can safely say on behalf of all your fans we're sorry that happened to you and whatever you decide to do in future regarding twitter we support you! We will miss you if you leave, we will come running to you call if you stay and if you find that git of a troll give us second to sharpen our pitch forks and like the torches.
like I said in my first to you so long ago you're a hero to many of us.
After moving into there off campus house at Palo Alto Did Wally and Artemis both have on baseball caps at the same time douring any at home study sesstions before Artemis whent under cover in season 2 ?
What kind of leadership do the Space Spawn have?
Do they have an all powerful Autocrat, Emperor, King, General, Warlord, Dictator, Council?
Greg,
I think you may have answered this question on the dumpster fire known as Twitter/X (#668), which I have yet to find full text of, if there is any. If so, apologies. Here is my question, following a little set up:
In series 3, Nightwing uses beetle-like mini drones that are, by turns, acting autonomously and also under the control of Oracle at need. Since beetles aren't really in the Bat or Nightwing idiom, and we see Oracle using tiny drones in series 4 that are more bat-like, AND since my old man brain seems to dimly recall a story line in Birds of Prey (comic) where Ted Kord worked with Oracle and shared technology, my question is, are those Nightwing beetle drones a development of Ted Kord that were accepted for use by the Bat family, at least until they developed more bat-like mini-drones of their own?
Anyway, thanks for doing your part to give the Charlton characters like Ted and Captain Atom some attention (as much as you can in this vast ensemble called Young Justice), and thanks for any response!
Also, if I somehow missed the answer to this in my three hours of fishing through the archives, can someone direct me to the answer? Like I said, I think it might have been answered in the #668, but all I see on Twitter/X is just the title "Bat- Beetle Mini- Drone"
Cheers!
Hey Greg, will there be anymore Xanatos Programs? (Not the Future Tense one, the one from Legion), I know Xanatos is not fighting the Gargoyles anymore, but will we still see Programs or Machines (other than The Coyote Robots) that have his voice, features and personality if somewhat more cruel, in The series? Whatever happened to the Xanatos Program in Coldstone ?
Hello Mr. Weisman
I am wondering did you have other plans for the character Secret (Greta Hayes) and her brother.
Like maybe joining the Outsiders or coming back to life like in the comics.
Do you know when Season 4 of Young Justice will be available on Blu-ray?
I was very surprised (but excited) to see Match return in Young Justice: Targets and I have a few questions about him.
1. What is his biological age?
2. When did Superman find out about him and how did he react?
3. Superman and Superboy presumably were told about his fight with Batgirl from Players: Chapter Five. How did they react?
4. Other than the two of them and M'gann, do other Kent family members know about him?
5. Did Superboy think about Match much before they got their brother back?
Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions!
On Twitter you've said that Young Justice will never have a "proper ending" which I guess raises 2 questions for me.
1. If you could guarantee more seasons for as long as you wanted would the original team members be phased out, or would you keep telling their stories?
2. Why would you prefer to not end it? At some point it feels like it would become tedious to keep creating new stories.
Mr. Weisman, how likely do you think it is that Young Justice gets a season 5?
Why was there a 2 month hiatus with the 𧨠issue 11&12?
young justice season 4 was so good that HBOMAX did to not make a season 5.
1. When did Aquaman first become King of Atlantis?
Did Demona have any trouble learning how to drive?
When the Magus ate the Grimorum, what did it taste like?
Hey, Greg. Itâs amazing to actually ask you a question. Iâve seen a lot of the Specacular Spider-Man and itâs very great. Iâm still furious at Disney for canceling it before the story was completed.
I actually have a few questions for you, regarding the plans of the show, since I noticed a lot of people have ask questions about your initial ideas for the show.
1. Iâve read that later seasons were supposed to introduce villains like Hydro-Man, Prowlwe, Sin-Eater, Scorpion, Carnage, Hobgoblin, Jackal, Morbius, Crime-Master, and Mr. Negative, did you have any plans to include characters like the Man-Wolf, Beetle, Shriek, and Alistair Smythe?
2. I really like the showâs take on Liz Allan. Were there any plans for her discovering the identity of Spider-Man or becoming Firestar?
Why did not make a young comic series based on the episodes of season two of young justice that you were not able to make for season two of young justice?
Hi Greg, Iâm sorry for what happened to your account on Twitter/X due to that hacker and hope the best for you going forward. I heard youâre leaving Twitter and honestly that seems for the best, but I hope you consider some alternate social platform so you can continue your character countdown and interaction with fans of your shows.
So when you were thinking of bisexual characters to add to your show your first thought as a grown man was to picture two drunk teenage girls cheating on their boyfriendsâ¦and you seriously thought there was nothing creepy about that? Or did you actually think that was normal because thatâs the only exposure youâve gotten of bisexual women in media?
Order of the gargoyles back story
In real existence
Ducksru@gmail.com
Are the Gargoyles' claws retractable?
Why did you Mr. Greg believe Garfield and Perdita were the right one for each other if you intend for their relationship to end in a permeant breakup instead of them getting married at some point in your young justice timeline?
1. You mentioned members of the League and Team receive stipends from the Justice League. Do reserve members of the League and Outsiders also receive stipends?
As of season 4,
2. Is the Outsidersâ HQ still funded by Beast Boy or the League?
3. Is there an in-universe explanation as to why the Outsiders need a den mother when all of them are adults except for Windfall and Terra?
4. What is the exact date (or month) that the Justice League Reserves was formally established (when the first member accepted to join, if you need a clearer definition)?
Hi, Mr. Weisman, I want to suggest you join a new, better social media site called Spoutible. Twitter is clearly no help with protecting your account and Spoutible has a free two-factor authentication you can use to protect your account. It has all the features Twitter has and the owner is a progressive that is open, transparent, progressive, and prompt at helping the users there.
"Greg, if you had the chance to produce the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series again, would you follow the same plan you had at the time or would you make drastic changes to the plan? I believe I speak for everyone when I say that sticking to the original plan would be better instead of adding too many references to the MCU and having Peter no longer be the only Spider-Man in the series :(
Hi Greg,
This isnât a question but I just wanted to let you known that your Twitter account is still hacked and the hacker has been leaking a lot of your personal information and other things Spider-Man related. I really hope you get your account back and deal with this situation!
When Will we get Young Justice FUNKO POPS?
Hey Greg. Your twitter is hacked and they're posting your personal info. Are you fixking the problem?
Hey Greg, hope you get your account back soon; I was just wondering if you'd ever be willing to do a Character Countback for Spectacular Spider-Man like the one you've been doing for Young Justice?
Why was it part of your plan of young justice for beast boy to have a permeant breakup with Perdita if you believe Garfield and Perdita were the right one for each other just like you believe miss martian and superboy were the right one for each other?
In Young Justice did Crusher care at all about Artemisâ education like Paula did or did he not care if Artemis went to school at all and just concentrated on her physical training. Itâs kind of hard to imagine Sports Master going to parent teacher night, oh and also wondering if Artemis first costume was supposed to be dark green or when her dad gave it to her she painted it that color?
Hi Greg, Lets get to the point: your Twitter/X account has been hacked! This was the quickest way I knew I could reach you. Hurry and stop this hacker, theyâre threatening to leak stuff!
Hi Greg, sorry this isn't actually a question, I just wanted to make sure that you were aware that your Twitter account has been hacked and this was the quickest way that I found to try to contact you. Ok thanks.
Heads up -- someone's hacked your Twitter account.
Why do you think it was not an injustice to beast boy to have him to suffer the loss of his relationship with Perdita as a couple cause by beast boy depression and drug use cause by beast boy believing he cause superboy to die on mars when you MR GREG knew Conner was going get back together miss martian and married at the end of season 4?
I Greg,i'm currently living in Jamaica. I want to say I'm a big fan of young justice can give me any information as to when young justice is getting a 5th season.Well the comics yj targets give us a hint.And I hope superboy gets his power unlocked,might project match body degraded by transforming his power into supey body.Thats my thought though just keep me in touch keep up the good work.
Hi Greg, I've been a fan of Young Justice for the longest time and it is one of my comfort shows. I hope you don't mind if i ask some questions.
1. Do Atlanteans have any slang
2. Where is Eduardo's mom
3.Will we ever see Ed's grandfather on screen
4.Do you think we'll ever see Conner and M'gann's kids
Thanks so much
We know Spectacular Spider-Man was going to have 5 seasons and movies in between seasons. However, if said movies were not approved, would there have been an extra season or two to make up for the movies, or would the movies' stories have been interjected into those same 5 seasons? Additionally would you have made a season 6 if the movies after season 5 were not approved or just ended the show with peter graduating in season 5 ?
Will you think of continue young justice story as comic series if you can't get any more animated seasons of young justice made?
Are there any plans for Young Justice season 5 in the works or in the future?
Does Superboy human DNA restrict how much solar energy he can absorb cause Solar energy is how he and superman get there powers
I'm aware of this rumor of live action Gargoyles going around. Apparently there's recent new one (again) over on James Wan's official Instagram account. October 16th, of this year, was the date.
Any changes to this or is still a rumor?
Hi again Greg,
Sorry I missed one on my last post about YJ characters:
1) Who is Rae Foster?
Thanks!
Hello, Mr. Weisman, I wished to tell you that I love Gargoyles and I've been watching the series many times.
I would like to know a bit more about Preston Vogel, please.
Where and when was he born?
Who were his parents and does he have any siblings?
What kind of studies did he take and which college did he went to?
Is he going to make an appearance in the new comics?
After Renard's eventual death, what would Vogel do?
Hi Greg, I am grateful for the opportunity you give us to reach out and ask you our questions. As far as I am aware, it is not something that other creators grant.
As Cyborg is now a member of the Justice League, his previous (and, if I am not mistaken, record-breaking) designations (B, D, and G) are retired. It has been confirmed that he held the G-08 designation, and it is assumed that he held the D-08 designation. In a previous response, you confirmed that Cyborg briefly held a B designation. What was it?
Hi Greg, hope this post finds you well.
Once again I have some questions from the YJ character countback.
1) Who is Jeff Kobi?
2a) Who is Stormy? Is it the giant seahorse Aquaman rides in the palace mural?
2b) If so, why the name change from the usual Storm?
3) Who is Prime-One? My best guess is the Mountain Hive's big Mantis-like Bug next to All-Widow in Beyond The Grip Of The Gods.
Thanks as always.
Why do you say young justice has no end when you have the complete timeline of young justice events on your computer?
Dear Greg
I love Gargoyles and I was happy when learning about the comic continuation. I must ask if your planning to do the same for your other shows like The Spectacular Spider Man and Young Justice?
Dear Greg Wiesman
1.Why didnât Megan take Mcomm with her to earth when she went to mars in 2016. Garfield was even able to him. Wasnât it possible for Mcomm to go with years before he started to work Darkseid in 2018
2.In Torch Songs, Part 1. It took place August 2016. But If Megan, Garfield, Connor went sent to Mars in July 2016, shouldnât have they returned to Earth in September 2016, if it takes 2 month to Mars and back with Bioship. And they confirmed they used the Bio-ship to get to Mars. Because the Bio-ship was excited about going to Mars like their previous trip before in 2016.
Hey Greg, how are you? Do you think Disney can call you to continue the spectacular Spider-Man animated series, after your Spider-Man appeared in the film? I think about it, because the 90s x-men animated series is going to come back, do you have any hope of that happening?
This might seem like an odd question but have Miss Marian and Artemis both had there respective baseball caps (or newsgirl in Megan's case) on at the same time when greeting any newcomers to the team off screen during the 5 year gap and beyond ?
Klarion had the ability to time travel this entire time? Why didn't The Light take advantage of it to turn the tide of the war in their favour? And for that matter, what would they do if they found out Metron repaired Lor-Zod's Time-Sphere?
So in the continuity of The Spectacular Spider-Man, was Blackbeard the Pirate a legend born from the time travel paradox of Ben Grimm/The Thing (ala Fantastic Four #5)?
How long would it take to clone and force-grow a Martian? Conner, in season 1, was force-grown to the age of 16 in 16 weeks. How long did it take to clone and force-grow Orim and Arion again? M'gann, in season 1, was 16 Mars years old, which is 48 Earth years old.
During Goliath's trial, why was Demona's actions during "City of Stone" not was used as an example of proof of contradiction of Goliath's statement that he and his clan seeks to live peacefully besides humans? Also, why didn't Margot Yale consider asking Elisa Maza if she was the only cop in the NYPD who knew about the existence of Gargoyles prior to their existence being known to the public; considering Matt Bluestone was the only other cop in the NYPD who found out and kept it a secret as well?
do you see the situation in gaza and see how little the world cares about arabs and muslims being systematically slaughtered? do you see understand that this is reinforced in the media by showing graphic violence against us so that people are desensitized when real life people are massacred? does any part of you actually understand the harm you did with creating halo? you added to this issue whether you ever admit to yourself or not. you should be ashamed of yourself but your ego will never allow it. youâve had years of fans trying to explain as nicely as possible and you just threw a tantrum. i can only hope that some of your fans who defended you vigorously and silenced all of the muslim fans who tried to call you out will finally wake up and see.
Hello once again Mr. Weisman! I read All the New Gargoyles Comics that Came out so far And I Think They are AWESOME!!!! And Now Here's a Question I have if you don't mind!
How Exactly was Margot Yale Allowed to to Be on the Gargoyle Taskforce and to Handle Gargoyle Cases At All?
After All She did publicly Claim that she saw them Up close and Surely she Reported Each and every claim she and her Husband had with them! So Wouldn't she have been Not Allowed to be part of the Gargoyle Taskforce Or to be Part of Goliath's Sentience hearing Due to Personal Interest?
Have to Say I'm Surprised Tobe Crest Did'nt bring that up against Yale! Unless She Had to Drop her Reports in order to Be part of the Task Force and to work the case!
Klarion has used his powers to turn Teekl into a giant Saber-tooth cat. Have Saber-tooth-Teekl and Wolf ever fought each other in the series? I mean, come on. It's a giant f***ing Saber-tooth cat and a giant f***ing wolf! How do you NOT have them fight each other?! In season 5, I hope Saber-tooth-Teekl II and Wolf fight each other. I'm a sucker for creature-on-creature violence.
Does The Light know Supergirl joined Darkseid's Forces?
They know Klarion handed her over to Darkseid as "tribute". But do they think she's dead?
Does every member of The Light have a "Psy-Back" or just the council members (& former council members in Orim's case)?
Any idea when Young Justice: Phantoms is coming on DVD/Blu-ray?
I wanted to ask about the Robins. We know Dick was 13 in season 1 and he became Nightwing in 5 years according to the time jump in season 2. So my questions are:
1. What year and age did Dick become Nightwing?
2. How many years was Jason Todd Robin?
3. And how many years was Tim drake Robin after Jason's death? because he seems properly trained already.
1. Is there anything you wanted to introduce to Young Justice that you never got to do?
2. And what was your experience creating the show
Just to ask what was the reason behind leaving wally west unalive in young Justice season 4, to me there was a chance where you guys could have just put him in the phantom zone and then escape so why
Big fan of Gargoyles, been watching the whole series for the first time almost done. Can't stop thinking about it. Now there are 10 gargoyles clans left in the world by the end of the 20th century. The Manhattan Clan has 12, the Labyrinth Clan has 7, the Avalon Clan has 35, and the London Clan has 196. What would you say the total global gargoyle population is by 1997?
Hi, it's been a long time but I'm still curious. So um, I understand that the songs from W.I.T.C.H will probably never see the light of day. But I can't help being curious anyway about whether the verse from "The Will to Love" that starts with "Game's full of surprises. Live our share of compromises" is with a different instrumental than the one we heard in the S2E19, "S is for Self", the bridge, I think? I understand that you might not have the chord sheet.
1. So um, do you happen to know how that part was meant to be sang?
2. It seems like Disney is rebooting W.I.T.C.H, what are your thoughts about it?
In the Earth-16 universe, is Amanda Waller's last name her family name or her maiden name? If it is the latter, was her full name Amanda Belle Blake prior to her marriage?
Hey Greg! Iâve been a long time fan of DC and of your show, Young Justice! I hope Iâm not bothering you with these questions, since I guess youâre asked about Young Justice a lot. Funnily enough, they all center around one of my favorite characters, Tim Drake.
1. I hope this isnât treading on spoilers for any potential new material, but what happened to Timâs parents before Bruce took him in? I know that in one version, his parents were kidnapped by the Obeah Man, which ended in his motherâs death and his father nearly dying as well. Did something similar happen? Again, I donât know if Iâm treading on spoiler territory.
2. Again, I hope Iâm not treading on spoiler territory, but what is the relationship between Bruce and Tim? From what Iâve seen, it looks very professional, not like what Bruce had with Dick in season 1, which is familial.
3. Is Tim attending Ivy University with Halo and Harper and if so, is he aware of Haloâs secret status as a superhero? I only ask this because, again in the comics (Iâm so sorry Iâm referring to the comics so much lol) he received a grant for Ivy University, only to reject it.
Hi Greg!
I've watched the spectacular spider-man series dozens of times and two questions are tearing my brain to shreds:
1. What did Hobie Brown want to ask Captain Stacy during his lessons in Season 2, but didn't have enough time?
2. Did Captain Stacy know for sure that Peter Parker was Spider-Man?
Thank you for your attention, you are greatest
Hello, first and foremost, I would like to thank you and all the wonderful people working with you for making two of my favorite shows!! Gargoyles and Young Justice, I got all of Gargoyles save for season 3!!
At the moment I only have one question, in Young Justice how did you pick your side characters. A lot of DC characters have finally gotten their animation debut in Young Justice. I keep imagining you having a book of the more obscure characters and just randomly throwing it open and saying that one!! All joking aside, what's your process on choosing?
Once more thank you for Gargoyles and Young Justice, I hope we'll get to see more of Gargoyles in the future. They're reviving so many show and I hope the Manhattan Clan will live again!!!
I still can't believe they passed over TimeDancer, Brooklyn was my favorite!!
after the Infinitors came under the command of king brion do trajectory and everyman now report directly to zviad or lex luthor?
Hello Greg, I have been enjoying the new comic run and I would like to thank you for bringing it to us.
I have a question regarding the Gargoyles universe version of Sir Douglas Bader, to be answered at your own convenience.
Q: When he saw Griff and Goliath he said IIRC: "They're real and they're on our side!". This line always struck me as interesting; because it suggested to me that Bader knew what they were, or certainly thought he did. So if I may ask; what did Bader think he was seeing when he looked at them?
Greg,
Sole Owner of Disney and the conglomerate and Gargoyles Robert Shane Ellis The World Owner here.
Let's not have a live-action Gargoyles show nor anything. Cancel it.
Live-action Gargoyles must be made with me present as an executive producer and I, Robert Shane Ellis, must play Xanatos. Victoria Justice must play Elisa Maza. Do not publicize anything for Gargoyles. I am my own publicist. Take down the story about a live-action Gargoyles.
For it to be interesting also it must have nudity full female breasts. I can make that okay as sole owner of Disney, I have my imprint for it.
And let's arrange it so that the story is told with all the stories that occur in ancient times from the cartoons and comics being told in order and first. And let's include a dark future where dark technology, robots, and dark magic has taken over the earth and evil robotic and partially robotic mind-controlled Gargoyles including Goliath all led by Xanatos (with gray hair) have subjugated all humans to Xanatos's will. The earth now split into a heavily developed city and forest and post-apocalyptic area destroyed by atomic bombs. The ice caps have melted and all ocean water has been poisoned by fallout and magic, all rain is acidic.
And let's have the same voices from the cartoon for the Gargoyles.

Send them an ambulance now at +442072301212 push 9 (police number ambulance order for emergencies okay despite the recording at option 9), order all circuit breakers off (I am the owner of the home), dairy milk poured down their throats, nose oxygen, and transport to the nearest hospital for food tube. They are to meet with me in Washington State, Federal Way for Shari's Restaurant immediately. No one is allowed to accompany them, they are not to re-enter the home and to proceed immediately to the hospital and then a hotel and then the airport for flight to Federal Way, Washington. Kathleen Kennedy is to move in with me immediately from there.

was it granny's or darkseid's idea to offer granny goodness as a member of the light?
1. Has Hawkman had sex before with some besides Shayera?
Hey Greg
Just wanted to ask a few questions about season 1 of 'Young Justice':
1. Why did you write Artemis as having a crush on Conner?
2. Was this done deliberately to mirror Wally's crush on M'gann?
3. Since you've also mentioned in previous posts that Artemis was supposedly physically attracted to Wally, did she feel a stronger physical attraction towards him than Conner upon initially meeting him in 'Infiltrator'? Was Wally more her 'type'?
I admire your work on all four seasons and hope we're fortunate enough to see a fifth!
In the Earth-16 universe, which one of the following names below is the Joker's real name?
Jack Napier ("Batman" 1989 film and "Batwoman" TV series)
Jeremiah Valeska ("Gotham" TV series)
Arthur Fleck ("Joker" 2019 film)
Jack Oswald White ("Flashpoint Beyond" comic book series)
Darwin Halliday ("The Bat-Man of Gotham" comic book story arc)
John Keyser ("The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing" comic book series)
This last thing I am still very reluctant to say, because it means getting involved in something I donât think people should do, and even worse, doing it myself; which is to argue in this space. Donât get me wrong, even I have issues with a couple of things youâve said throughout the years (you canât agree with anyone all the time, Right?), but I will never speak about it here, principally because obviously the online and social media comment structures are a failure when it comes to debating (or even having a real conversation, in my opinion). And because, in any, case, I regard this site as the information office, not the complaint department.
However, there is this discussion already started by someone else, and that is of concern to me. I have seen that a couple of fellow atheists have come criticizing you for having openly religious characters. First of all I say that, being an atheist myself, I canât help but side with you on the arguments as they are: you made very sensible points for yourself, whereas these fellow atheist have strike a certain tone I disapprove of in general: I dislike the way most people today voice out their opinions and/or âcriticismâ online, even if I agree with them. And, in case some of these atheists are reading this and want to accuse me of some kind of treachery, I say this: No, Iâm not been soft, I´m being civil. There is a difference (not that anyone remembers anymore).
All that said, I think I understand where this criticism is coming from, and since itâs already out Iâd think it at least deserves to be expressed in a civilized manner, if youâre interested. If not, feel free to read no further, I donât want to importunate anyone.
On the one hand, from the perspective of laicity, secularity or whichever is the accurate term in English (frankly they are all widely misunderstood anyway), which is independent from atheism, religion is best kept behind closed doors. One of the reasons for that is that is always a confrontational topic. You are now living one of these kinds of confrontation with the whole Halo controversy (I hope Iâm not scratching anyoneâs wounds here; I apologize if I am). I am not getting into that discussion on itself, I donât think itâs my place, but the point is even when you acted with the best of intentions you ended up in an eggplant garden, as we say in these parts, and I think that proves my point.
Another reason is that simply set religion aside is the only way to be truly neutral, and therefore, democratic about it; but that is in politics, it doesnât necessarily apply to you. When youâre telling a story itâs a different matter, and itâs obvious to me that you have been neutral about it, not trying to evangelize anyone. I trust you when you say you do it for the sake of realism, not to sell religiousness. But it remains a thorny subject.
On that note, youâve also said that you wish to have more opportunities to equally represent atheism, or at least that is what I understood. I really appreciate the thought, and I would love that, but rationally I canât but advice you against it. If youâve gotten in some much trouble as it is by talking about religion, who knows what kind of havoc would arise if you have someone voicing our objections to religion on screen. Many believers perceive atheism as a personal attack on their god; even if youâre not the kind that attempts to change peopleâs minds, and only address the subject when youâre asked, there are many who feel offended or at least unsettled when they hear you are an atheist. They shouldnât, of course, and I hope to change that much, but for the sake of your sanity and your work I can´t recommend you to get in the middle of it, not on screen anyway.
There is this other thing that might be involved in what has been said, but admittedly that one is completely on us. In my case, and I imagine Iâm not the only one, my self-preservation instinct has developed and inner alarm that rings every time someone talks openly about religion; said ringing screams âIndoctrination alert!â. Obviously, there are moments when that feeling is justified and others when itâs simply paranoia; and again, clearly that wasnât your intent.
I do somewhat like to think that every sensible fictional character I see is an atheist until proven otherwise, but I also understand that isnât quite realistic. And that forces me to honesty: I live in an overwhelmingly catholic country, so most people close to me, including friends, are either believers or have a much less critical relationship with religion than I do; still, they are my friends. Therefore, I can have no issue with Zatara being a catholic (it does trouble me that he sent Zatanna to such thing as a catholic school, but I predict youâll say something like there are different kinds of catholic schools, and then we would never end arguing).
I guess that what really feels unbalanced and upsetting is thinking that viewers who are believers will pat each other in the back saying âSee? Greg is on our side, he thinks religion is a good thingâ; whereas there is nobody inside pointing out that religion isnât always nor inherently a good thing, let alone defending that going through life without a god-figure has nothing to do with morality and inmorality, or emptiness, or arrogance. Of course it sounds contradictory that I grieve about it when I just wrote a whole paragraph advising you to not do that either, but thatâs the tragedy: itâs upsetting our views remain so much more quieted than those of the other side, but you canât represent them without risk causing a riot.
I donât know if these explanations are useful at all. I hope that at least I have redeemed my side of the argument. Itâs always sad when atheists use a tone that seems to approach the very viscerallity we criticize.
PS: Whoever reads this that is not Greg Weisman, please donât bother âreplyingâ. This might be a somewhat public space, but I as said earlier I donât agree in using it as a debate forum between all of us, nor I wish to engage on such use. Thereâs only one person who is supposed to answer the questions here, and this isnât addressed to anyone else.
Me again. I might be pushing my luck, but here are some more general questions:
1. I think one of the things that outstand the most about your work is that you donât underestimate or patronize your audience. That is very rare. Donât you ever find people in the industry that tell you, even if not with words, something in the line of âYouâre taking this way too seriouslyâ or âWe donât need this kind of depth in a kidâs showâ?
2. I see that in seasons 3 and 4 of Young Justice you were much more explicit about politics (personally, I applaud that you placed such blunt words about climate change on Garth, and I think the allusions to a certain âtronaldâ person through Lex Luthor were priceless). You also had much more explicit violence and became very obvious about sex, specially in season 3. And yet, it seems to me that you got less conservative backlash for all of that than for the inclusion of gender diversity. Any thoughts?
3. This is an observation. While I largely agree with Goliathâs point at the end of City of Stone about searching the answer in life and not in death, I also argue that after a thousand years of existence Macbeth deserves to rest, should he truly want to. For what happens later it seems he does find a new desire to stay alive, yet that could also be interpreted as something he forces himself into out of a sisyphic need. Of course, the fact that the only way to end his life would be to actively kill Demona does make the thing more troublesome. Bottomline, I feel that Macbeth has perfectly legitimate and rational (as opposed to mentally pathological) reasons for wishing to stop his life.
Continuing, this are my Young Justice specific questions:
1. Forgive me if I am being dumb about this, but I still donât understand how Zatannaâs âmere contemplationâ was the trigger for the coming of the Child. How could the Lords of Chaos (both out of and in the mortal plane, apparently) instantly learn about it? It was still just an undeveloped idea, it hadnât even been spoken out loud yet. The Lords of Order and of Chaos donât seem able to predict the future or being in connection with every single mind in the universe. I also donât understand why they would consider it a failure of Klarion or assume a priori he wouldnât be able to handle it, but I guess I shouldnât expect the Lords of Chaos to be particularly rational.
2. If all the newly invented Martian names are a reference to existing English names, What do Râess Eâdda, Mâaarell and JâKaraa stand for?
3. Can you confirm the nationalities of Wendy, Mist, Livewire, the Infinitors and Jaimeâs family?
4. Was Deathstroke known to the Justice League by Team Year 0?
5. Youâve already been asked whether Halo is a mix between the old Gabrielle and the Motherbox or is only the Motherbox in Gabrielleâs body, and youâve said that these options arenât mutually exclusive. I donât understand your answer. One states that Gabrielle´s inner self, persona, or however is it right to call it, is not lost, but it merged with the Motherbox and together they became something âdifferent from the sum of its partsâ. The other says that all that remain of Gabrielle was her organic body (that would include her brain and, presumably, certain neural paths already built, so Halo can access Gabrielle´s memory and general knowledge in spite of everything). Since in the Young Justice universe there is such thing as a âsoulâ, I guess itâs easier to ask it like this: Is Haloâs soul a fusion of the Motherboxâs and Gabrielle´s souls, or is it only the Motherboxâs? Again, I apologize if this is just me being slow.
(Following the custom, I apologize in advance for any mistakes, since English is not my native language). Dear Mr. Weisman:
First of all, Iâll simply say that you are among the greatest and that I consider both Gargoyles and Young Justice to be masterpieces. I also think is very kind of you to have this space for fan questions, and even more so to continue running it despite how frustrating it sometimes seems to be. I for one canât blame you for needing a break; actually, you seem to be far more patient than I would be.
Although I drop by regularly to see the latest answers, I have never asked a question (in fact, this is the first time I ever break my personal rule of never posting anything that resembles a comment, however remotely); when I get a new doubt and canât find it in the archives, I rather wait until someone else has the same idea. However, your (again, completely understandable) need for vacations got me thinking that perhaps Iâve been taking this space for granted by not seizing the opportunity to ask (I donât know if this make sense, but I canât seem to phrase it better).
Apologies, I didnât mean to write such a long introduction. My point is, I thank you for this site and I admire your patience. Now, these are my questions not about Youg Justice plot or universe:
1. The first isnât really a question, rather a request of confirmation. If I understand correctly what you have already said about the healing power of stone-sleep, the limits of this power, besides the obvious (mutilation, etc.), are based on the seriousness of the injury but also in how much the damage has progressed by the time the gargoyle falls into sleep (it wouldnât be the same to receive a blow that causes an internal bleeding five minutes after sunset than five minutes before sunrise). Did I get this right? B: If so, Which one was the determinant factor in the case of Hudsonâs eye?
2. Perhaps a rather idle question, but: What is the texture of gargoyle skin? Mammal-like, reptile-like, stone-like?
3. On Spectacular Spiderman, I can only assume it was your own idea to match Shakespearean quotes with the events of the plot. How did you come up with that? B: Why did you choose specifically âA midsummer nightâs dreamâ for the school play?
4. In Young Justice Who are in charge of the fictional languages and how did you find them?
5. Youâve said other DC projects you have worked on are âcanon adjacentâ to Earth-16. Does the same applies for Brandon Vietti?
Hello,
I hope this email finds you doing well.
My name is Zachary Freeman and by day I am the proud art teacher and comic book club facilitator here at Madison's Trust Elementary in Northern Virginia. By night I am a huge comic book fan myself.
In the weekly comic book club I meet with approximately thirty 5th grade students. They come to the club due to their common interest in all things comic books, cartoons, video games, science fiction and anime. This club rotates students approximately every 8 weeks so others may have a chance to become involved. The students spend the time learning the history of comic books from the 1930s to present where they are given a rundown of some of the books that they may find in their local comic book shop that Wednesday. In addition to that the students are learning how to create their own characters, develop their own stories with original characters or already created loved ones and create their own short books. They are taught concepts such as splash pages, the importance of cover design and lettering.
I am reaching out to you now to inquire if you would consider being involved with the Comic Book Club. In the past people and companies have become involved with us by making a donation of books, artwork or sending along a letter as ways to help encourage and provide new influential reading and reference material to these young creators.
THANK YOU so much for your time and consideration. Have a great day and I hope to speak with you again soon.
all the best,
So now that Superboy and Miss Martian are married, that means Superboy has a total of 11 sister-in-laws (which also includes M'ree M'orzz) and 17 brother-in-laws (which also includes M'comm M'orzz). Is this correct, or did I get the familial relationships wrong?
Mr. Weisman,
I found out on the YJ Wiki that the Earth-16 version of Kara Zor-El is 14 years old, physiologically. Was your decision to make Kara this young because out of all the surviving members of the House of El, she would most likely form a familial sibling-like bond with Kon-El (who is, and still remains, physiologically 16 years old); so that she would have someone in her family close to her age to confide in about how she feels about surviving the destruction of Krypton and other things?
True OR False?
1. Jason Todd became a member of the Team because Batman eventually realized that Jason's crime-fighting tactics were particularly brutal, and Batman had hoped that Jason working with the Team would help him reduce his use of violent tactics.
2. Up until the Earth-16 version of the events of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series," Carol Ferris was completely unaware that Hal Jordan was Green Lantern.
3. After the events of Earth-16 version of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series," Carol Ferris is currently in possession of a Star Sapphire power ring and is currently the only human member of the Star Sapphires.
4. The Earth-16 version of the "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" character Aya (or at least, a copy of her program with no memory of her origins) is currently in the "Justice League Action" universe; as seen in episode 48 of that show).
6. Granny Goodness has been secretly keeping an eye on Mary Bromfield ever since Mary stopped becoming Sergeant Marvel in 2015; hence why she manipulated Mary into succumbing to her lust for power in the Season 4 mid-season post-credits scene.
7. Due to Mary Bromfield succumbing to her lust for power (as a result of her fallout with her mentor, Zatanna, and the secret manipulations of Granny Goodness), everyone on Earth likely assumes that she has been missing since May 15, 2020; when in truth, she has been training on Apokolips to become a member of the Furies during the five-month interval.
8. Darkseid's Omega Beams cannot kill Vandal Savage.
9. Jason Todd likely had feelings for Barbara Gordon, but he was never able to fully explore those feelings due to his tragic death at the hands of the Joker.
10. Kara Zor-El joining the Furies is NOT truly of her own free will, but as a result of suffering from Zone-Sickness from being trapped in the Phantom Zone for 42 years; as such, it can be assumed that her original personality is that of a kind-hearted individual who loves her family dearly.
did zatanna despise dr fate after he took full control of her father?
do Ed and his dad live in Taos? or do they live somewhere else and use Zeta-Tubes to get to STAR Labs and the Meta-Human Youth Center?
Why is the Emir allowed to be peace regarding what he has lost yet Demona and MacBeth are denied? Shouldnât the clan have allowed them both to die when they were in Paris? It seems your show is very inconsistent regarding the morals and lessons you try to invoke for the viewer.
Did you ever consider giving Demona and Macbeth an end to their bondage by making them be in a situation where say, the hunters kidnap Angela, the clan and Macbeth, and give her an ultimatum: kill MacBeth and save Angela or let her and everyone else in the clan die, than be forced to watch as every other gargoyle in the world meets their wrath. In which case, she will surrender and be forced to kill MacBeth, sparing Angela and putting an end to both of their suffering.
Huge fan of your work and writings. My Q: was Angela ever meant to fall in love? I felt bad that the boys were pining over here like a piece of pizza. Also, would Goliath live for hundreds of years? Whats his lifespan?
In the original unaltered timeline in the 31st century (before Lor-Zod used the Time Sphere), what ultimately happened to Kara Zor-El? Was she released from the Phantom Zone along with the prisoners, or did she remained trapped in there?
If "Young Justice" returns for future seasons, will there be costume redesigns for the characters based on what is depicted in Infinite Frontier and Dawn of DC? Will there also be costume redesigns for the characters based on what is depicted in Milestone Returns; which is Earth-93 of the current DC Comics Multiverse?
I would like to know BOTH the chronological ages and human biological equivalent ages of all the New Gods (from New Genesis and Apokolips; respectively) who have appeared thus far in the Earth-16 universe, please?
Questions regarding Earth-16's Plastic Man:
1. Does he have an ex-wife named Angel McDunnagh, and a son named Luke O'Brian?
2. What exact circumstances caused him to become a heist artist in the first place, how long has he been a heist artist, and why did he eventually stop?
3. When he became a hero in 2003, who among the other heroes were initially convinced he was still a criminal, and who among them believed that he had truly changed for the better?
Hey Greg,
I know for the YJ series, there have been several writers including Brandon and yourself for each of the episodes. I also know that you and Brandon plan out an outline for how each episode should be written.
1. How do you guys decide which writer creates the script for each episode? (e.g. coin flip, someone volunteers, producers decide)
2. When you pick an episode to write, is it for the reason to specifically to advance a plot point that will be shown later in the season? Or are there other reasons too?
3. You've also voiced YJ characters (Ultra-Humanite, Lucas Carr) in episodes written by other writers. Do the writers ask you to voice act or is it already decided you would participate in the episode?
1) How old is Richard Craemer?
2) How old is Rae Foster?
Are the Canmores a scottish clan or just a family descended from King Malcolm III?
Hello Greg, I hope you're having a good day. Greg, what would be the most important part of story telling in your own words. What is what makes a story good?
What was Garfield's means of travel did Garfield use to visit miss martian when Garfield lived with Rita?
Hello Greg.
What real-life language is Kryptonian based on?
I've checked the archives, and I don't see an answer to my question. If it has been answered, I apologize for missing.
After you were not allowed to make the last episodes of young justice season 2 that you plan to be made because of low young justice toy sales why did you not make a comic book story showing what was going happen after episode Endgame of season 2?
Hi, Greg! Love the show btw and I have a few questions:
1-Are Will and Zatanna friends?
2-Has Paula Nguyen ever fought against Giovanni Zatara as Huntress?
3-Do Blue Devil and Zatanna get along well?
4-Would you say that Artemis is Zeeâs best friend or is it Raquel?
5-Is Icicle Jr Artemisâs ex from back when they were both in the same boat as criminals offsprings?
Would you consider Zatanna and Khalid close friends, like family almost?
Are Courtney and Billy dating as of the end of season 4? Though they are not sitting next to each other at all, they appear to be sharing a look during Supermartianâs wedding while everyone around them is either being coupley or chatting up with someone else
What format was Gargoyles finished on? What I mean is some shows from this time were produced on film and then edited on to video while others were entirely produced on one format.
Have jason todd met zatanna in the Team? Did He have a crush on her?
Dear Mr Weisman Does the Tailypo exist in the gargoyles universe ?
So my question is n outsiders the characters that were introduced & already part of the team all appeared in phantoms 4 the exception of Cisco Ramon who we all know would become Vibe, was he intentionally not included or did u guys forget about him
Where is the original Perdita that we see in season 3 by the time of season 4 if the Perdita we see in young justice season 4 is a clone?
Is Miss Martian ticklish? or do Martians not understand the concept?
1) you have said before that Klarion is ageless but youâve said yourself he is physically 9? Which doesnât make sense taking in comparison other 9 year olds in the series etc since in the first season he seems to look like a teen and always looks like that. I know itâs not exactly your expertise but in justice league action, when he turns the main characters into ten year olds and then reveals himself, he is about two times their size. Im not talking comics cuz it varies from one to another but he never looks the same in those.
2. Does teekl eat anything like an actual cat?
Hi, I had a couple questions about Dick's uncle, Rick Grayson. I was not sure if these are spoiler questions or not, so I'm sorry if they are.
1. Is Rick still alive as of the last episode of season 4?
2. Does Dick still visit/has he visited since the comic panel Rick was last shown in?
are all of darkseid's inner circle(desaad, granny goodness, grayven, etc)equal in rank? Or are some higher ranked than other members?
Hello! In The Spectacular Spider-Man, we get to see a few shots of Flash's family while he's in the hospital; I was wondering if you had thought about what Flash's off-screen relationship with them is like during the show, or just in general? Particularly his dad and sister, since we never see them talk like we do his mom.
1. Does Mad Mod exist in the Young Justice universe. If so, has he encounter the original members of the Team?
2. Do Raven and Starfire exist in the Young Justice universe?
What is Whisper A'Daire's REAL name? I saw in a comic strip that it said "Wenda Ader" Is this true?
Did the comic book appearances of DCs Black Spider (70s appearance or 90s appearance) influence his use and portrayal on Young Justice?
If you ever do get ever more seasons of young just made, did you intended to get beast boy and Perdita back together as a couple at some point in future seasons of young justice after their breakup in season 4?
A couple questions regarding Margot Yale in the televised version of The Journey.
1. Was is planned for Marina Sirtis to be voicing her in the episode at all or was she unavailable early on?
2. A review I read before on the episode got me curious. Was it more coincidence that you had a debate between Margot and Macbeth?
Or was it based on the fact that she and Demona had the same voice actress. Kind of a Demona VS Macbeth in a different way?
When Broadway met Antoinette Dracon, I noticed something kind of interesting. He is immediately hostile and even downright rude, and some might say he had good reason given his history with her brother. On the other hand, he judged her as soon as he heard the name 'Dracon'. Guilt by association. He dismissed her, and would have left if she hadn't mentioned the city being in danger.
Broadway was displaying PREJUDICE here. We, the audience, don't know much more about her than he does, but as Dracons go she doesn't seem so bad. She was born into a crime family, and likely isn't a saint, but I think he really jumped the gun here, if you'll pardon the pun.
I think a certain degree of skepticism is understandable and even smart, but so is hearing her out and deciding on a course of action, and he only listened after she pleaded with him. Broadway was my favorite character when I was a kid watching the show in the 90's, but his reaction to this particular Dracon had me thinking that Goliath probably did pick the right member of the trio to be his Second.
I still love him, don't get me wrong! But I thought this was a neat comparison, him judging Antoinette the way humans judge his species: with mistrust and hostility. My question is, was that comparison deliberate?
when beast boy moved in with Rita far in 2011 did miss martian stiil visit him when not bisy on missions and did they both have on baseball caps at the same time on some of Megan.s visits that year?
Are the Chameleon and Kraven the Hunter still step-siblings like in the comics?
How old was Peter when he got bitten by the radioactive Spider?
1. in young justice how long has Lena luthor been runninglexcorp as of season 4 ? 2. How old is Mrs Cordero and what work does she do at lexcorp ? 3. Do Mrs Cordero and Lena luthor get along vary well and do they both wear baseball caps or newsgirl caps from time to time ?
Why do you believe it was a good story to have the outsiders to try get beast boy to go on missions with them after beast boy return to earth from mars when the outsiders knew something was wrong beast boy after beast boy return to earth from mars?
Why you Greg just let Perdita start using the zeta tubes when Perdita was dating Garfield so they could maintain their relationship instead of having breaking up? That is what the fans desired to happen.
How will the Manhattan Clan be affected by 9/11
What happened to the torn pages (Resurrection Spell,Summoning Spell, Stone By Night Spell) from the Grimorum Arcanorum after Demona used them? Does Demona still own the pages? If so, would she use those spells again?
Outside of the shows you've showrun, what series was your favorite writing for?
In regards to Jason Todd's family in the Earth-16 universe:
1. Is his father's name Willis Todd?
2. Is his step-mother's name Catherine Todd? Did Jason believed that Catherine was his biological mother before he eventually learned the truth?
3. Is his biological mother's name Sheila Haywood? Was Jason's search for her the reason why both of them were ultimately killed by the Joker?
4. Did Jason had a deeply troubled relationship with his father and step-mother; like in the comics?
1. Are all members of the Kane family are Jewish in the Earth-16 universe, and that includes Bette Kane as well?
2. If Bette Kane's first name, "Bette," is actually a nickname like in the comics, then what is the in-universe explanation as to why she is not addressed as Mary Elizabeth Kane (which is her full name) in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,
My Previous Question: I was shocked that Barbara's paralysis was due to Cassandra Wu-San's actions in the YJ universe. Was this change made because you felt it creates a much more emotional impact than just having Joker shooting Barbara like in "The Killing Joke"?
Your Response: We felt that THE KILLING JOKE had been done in animation recently, so if people wanted to see that, they can buy the BluRay (or stream it or whatever). That's not me being dismissive. I'm simply stating that a more faithful rendering of the original story exists. We wanted to do a version that still put the blame squarely on the Joker, but which gave Barbara more agency - and gave Cassandra Wu-San more agency, as well. They both have decisions to make, choices about who they want to be. I don't know if this version has more emotional impact or not. Your mileage may vary, as they say. But I feel good about our choices for the characters of Earth-16.
My Next Question: So does that mean in the Earth-16 universe, a version of A DEATH IN THE FAMILY happened that still put the blame squarely on the Joker, but which gave Jason more agency as well; even though the consequences that resulted from Jason's actions likely still remained more or less the same as in comics canon?
Mr. Weisman,
1. If "Young Justice" eventually returns for a fifth season, will it address the 0.16% probability that the timeline was NOT fully restored to its original state; which was mentioned by Chameleon Boy in the Season 4 finale? If so, will the fifth season reveal what specific events in the timeline contributed to the 0.16% probability?
2. Given what happened to Mary Bromfield in Season 4, and her ultimately becoming Black Mary in the Season 4 finale post-credits scene, who is truly responsible for Mary becoming a villain? Is it Mary herself, her mentor Zatanna, or is it both of them? Regardless of your answer, please also explain the reasons why the person you chose is truly at fault and how it most likely affect the people around them in a possible fifth season of "Young Justice."
3. In the Earth-16 universe, what is Kon-El's exact relationship with Kara Zor-El in the House of El family tree?
is there anything you can tell us about about jason todd?
THANKS
In the series Spectacular Spider-Man, how tall were some of the main characters? Like Peter, Gwen, Harry, Felicia, and Flash for instance?
whether Rhea Beecher-Duncan is a meta-human
Hi Greg, is it possible for a Spectacular Spider-Man Movie to happen? (Ik its a stretch) I though about it, and Sony owns the Movie rights, and not the show rights, is that possible to happen?
can you please work on creating a movie The Gargoyles. we have been waiting so long for the crew/now with all this new tech/maybe you can work with those who worked on the movie I, Frankenstein/ their Gargoyles were quite believable- thank you and looking forward to the movie
Did R'ohh K'arr (the M'hontrr who ignored the disguised S'yraa) start to reconsider his prejudiced views after finding out that his intolerance of White Martians inadvertently led to the king's death?
I realize it's hard to juggle so many characters, but why sideline Tim of all people? In fact, why make him and Nightwing never start questioning Batman?
Hi. Me again. Just want to say, the rain of the ghosts first books were so good, I still would flip to read part 3 (and more).
How are the odds for that? Are you even still interested or did you move on to other ideas?
my best
Hi There. Loved to read the first issue of Gargoyles Dark Ages. :)
It raised some questions for me:
1) Is Lefty Demonas/Angels biological father or brother? (Which rookery generation does he belong to?)
2) Was Demona/Angel born as her biological parents first born, middle child or youngest?
3) Did Demona /Angel has biological siblings?
4) Will we get a glimpse of Demona/Angels biological mother?
I know biological relationships are not important in a gargoyle clan but it's still fun to see the main casts roots and siblings.
Thanks for answering.
Is there a chance Tim and Cassie will get back together?
is Jennifer Pierce a meta-human

Dear Mr Weisman 1. Does Mr Nassour work as a cab driver like his comic counterpart does and if yes how long has he been working as one as of season 4 of young justice? 2. what does Jane Nassour do for a living and does she wear a baseball cap or news girl cap from time to time? 3. looking back on the 3 long yarns about Vandal savage we herd in season 4 and the pattern in sead tales (Vandal has a kingdom, he is'nt content with what he has, Klarion shows up to cause chaos ect ect ) a thought crossed my mind Did Klarion have something to do with both Tiament and later Dark side and his minions coming to earth 16?
I know female gargoyles nurse the hatchlings like humans do with their babies, but would they have to have laid an egg in order to be able to do that?
Angela obviously hasn't at this point, and I think Brooklyn and Katana's egg will hatch before she lays her first. I'm not trying to be weird, but some creatures have allolactation, where mature females will produce milk when there are babies around to help with raising the offspring, even though they haven't reproduced themselves. Are gargoyles the same?
Why is there a dog-themed cover variant for every issue of the current Gargoyles comic run?
Since themyscira and Atlantis both had their own UN representatives present at the UN meeting in young justice season 3, it made me wonder do atlantean and themysciran embassies exists in certain countries in the world of young justice?

5. Has Diana ever met Steve Trevor?
6. Are all of Zeusâ children Dianaâs half-siblings?

Questions about Lex Luthor and Season 4.
1. Why did you decide not to show Lex Luthor's reaction over Superboy's "death"? I just find it hard to believe he wouldn't have some feelings over losing his weapon/property/son.
2. Did he have any encounters with Superman or Miss Martian in the aftermath of Superboy's "death"?
3. Did he and the rest of the Light know Superboy was trapped in the Phantom Zone through Klarion and if so why didn't they try and capture Superboy for themseleves after learning of his survival?

Hello! I have a couple questions that I'll probably forget to check on for answers:
1) You've mentioned being interested in a Gargoyle's cartoon revival. Do you think it would be best to produce a series where season 2 left off or release a movie to introduce the world to new audiences?
2) If there was a Gargoyle's revival of some sort, what style animation would you be most interested seeing it in? (I'd personally love a Spiderverse or Arcane-esque animation style.)
3) Do you ever imagine who would voice the characters for a revival? Could you give us a couple names, if you do?
4) And a non-revival question, but still related to Gargoyles. How would you feel if Disney opened a dark-coaster that was Gargoyles themed?
Thank you so much for your contributions to my childhood and current special interest! I'm loving the new Gargoyle comics!
Why you just have Perdita be given the use of the zeta tubs when Garfield and Peridia was dating so they could keep their relationship as a couple going instead of then breaking up? Because that what most fans wanted to happen.
Demona seems to favor working in and around Paris. It seems like her home-away-from-home, in a way. She clearly speaks French, and she had to have known the Praying Gargoyle was in Notre Dame somehow.
We know about the etymological origins of the word 'gargoyle'--it's Middle French, which would have been spoken during her time period. What is her connection to the sculptures on Notre Dame, if any?

Hi Mr. Wiseman, I'm a big fan of your work and after watching Across the Spider-Verse (SPOILER), I can't help but wonder if you and your friends who worked on the Spectacular Spider-Man were ever planning (or at least considering) to kill off Captain Stacy before the show got cancelled?
Hello Greg!
1: Do you ever go to conventions as a guest?
2: If so, would you consider coming to one in Dallas, TX?
Mr.Greg
I hope you are fine and doing well what i wanted to ask.Will there be season 3 for spectacular spider man because i watched the show and really loved it and hope that there will be season 3 i know it has been more than a decade the series had ended but please look into this.
Thank you
Why did you just have blue devil call back canary come to the Hub to council Garfield after blue devil talk to Garfield about no going on Outsiders missions before Perdita arrive at the Hub? After all that is what so many fans wanted to happen.
Despite the season 4-time traveler tell Garfield is the leader of the Outsiders why should Garfield be leader of the outsiders after the outsiders did not ask what Garfield was wrong with him after Garfield return to earth from mars and get black canary to council Garfield before Perdita came to see Garfield at the Hub which led to Garfield's breakup with Perdita?
After the scrolls of Merlin were returned to the museum, were the conclusions based on their study ever released to the public? For instance, was a translation of the scrolls published? Were the scrolls evidence enough to convince experts or the public that Merlin really existed? Were the scrolls at least studied enough to verify that they were genuine historical artifacts (not a hoax), even if it wasn't enough to convince the scientific community that Merlin and Arthur really existed outside of myth?
Or is there a reason we haven't heard anything else about the scrolls since Lighthouse in Sea of Time that has to do with an upcoming story?
What do you have to say to all the people who like hypotheticals, power-scaling, and exploring hypotheticals and power-scaling in Gargoyles?
According to the Gargoyles FAQ, the Gargoyles have a monotheistic/pantheistic/animistic religion. My question is, do Gargoyles have a concept of demons or devils in any similar way to various human religions, and if so, do they differ in their conception of how they physically appear, since to us the audience Gargoyles have a vague resemblance to âstereotypicalâ demons?
Not a question, but I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you have to deal with so many stupid questions. Over half of the unanswered questions in the queue could be answered with common sense.
I have a few questions about The Spectacular Spider Man.
1. Do Curtis and Martha Conners still remain suspicious that Peter could be Spider Man, even when it's "dis-proven" or do they just move on?
2. By the end of the series had Martha truly forgiven Peter for the events in season 1?
3. In Growing Pains, does J Jonah Jameson know he is partially responsible for what happened to his son, but simply doesn't want to admit it because it's easier for him to blame Spider Man then to actually take responsibility for his role?
Why didn't miss martian not ask garfield what was wrong with him and council him on bioship during the trip to mars for her and conner's wedding on mars ?
Mr. Weisman,
In your most honest opinion, which comic book storylines do you believe would be the most difficult to adapt into the Earth-16 DC Universe, and why?
1. How does Khalid balance his duties as Dr. Fate and a member of the Sentinels of Magic with his medical school work? I think he's in his 3rd/4th year in which he would have clinical rotations that function essentially like jobs sometimes with unpredictable schedules on call or working 12 days straight. Did he tell the Dean of his med school about his extracurriculars?
2. How omniscient are the Lords of Chaos/Order? They all (Klarion included) seemed to be aware of Zatana's mere thought to alternate bodies for Fate but she had to ask Fate before he became aware - or maybe that was because he is bound to the mortal plane via an anchor?
1. There are a lot of redheads on YJ, or at least many who are involved with the main plot threads relative to the population. Is this because they are well-represented by DC comic media, an inclusive choice by you and Brandon, or does Earth-16 have more red heads in the population?
2. Do you have any interest of incorporating Red X into the series (irrespective of his identity)
3. Are Wally West's reoccurrences despite being dead and all the arcs about reminiscing/letting go your way/symbol/metaphor of helping us grieve when the show is in limbo?
4a. When M'gann reconstructs Conner's mind in both S1 (bereft) and S4 (Death and Rebirth), are the missing elements filled in by M'gann's memories? 4b. If so, does this influence his romantic feelings towards her because she likes him? (for example, would Conner have still fallen for M'gann in S1 had she not reconstructed his memories?)
In young justice prior to the events of Zatannas arc Did Billy Batson and Mary Bromfield both wear baseball caps or newsboy caps at the same time at some points dourg the years 2016- 2019?
whether Perdita Vladek was homeschooled or went to school

From Young Justice episode "Death and Rebirth", Ultra-Humanite mentioned that the Light had given both M'Comm and Kara Zor-El to Darkseid as "tribute" in response to the Light's capture of the Kryptonians from the Phantom Zone. I'm kind of curious why they had to give something to Darkseid since he didn't contribute to their capture.
1. Was the tribute used for the purpose of a benefit/privilege from the Light and Darkseid's relationship?
2. Or was handing them both over seen as a good faith gesture that Savage could handle the Kryptonians and not use them against Darkseid in any way?
3. Or is there another reason not mentioned above?

Could you elaborate a bit on why Vogel was willing to betray Renaud in Outfoxed? I'm sure Fox offered him a substantial amount of money, why he always seemed to hold Renaud in such high regard and vice versa. These two things lead me to believe that Vogel would value Renaud's trust and his own integrity more than money. Am I incorrect in that assumption, or was there something else at play that I'm missing?

In the Earth-16 universe...
#1. Because Saturn Girl was identified as a human during a mental confrontation with M'comm M'orzz in the Young Justice Season 4 finale, this implies her ancestry can be traced back to the first humans who eventually colonized one of Saturn's moons; this presumably being Titan.
#2. The Durlans of the 31st century can trace their ancestry back to M'comm M'orzz and his White Martian followers; who have settled Durla in the 21st century.
#3. Cosmic Boy (Rokk Krinn), Lightning Lad (Garth Ranzz), and Saturn Girl (Imra Ardeen) are the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st century.
#4. As Lara El was born as Lara Lor-Van, this means she was a member of the House of Van before her marriage to Jor-El.
#5. Alura El (mother of Kara Zor-El) was born as Alura In-Ze, and was, therefore, a member of the House of Ze before her marriage to Zor-El.
#6. The names of the paternal grandparents of Kal-El and Kara Zor-El are Seg-El and Nyssa El (formerly Nyssa-Vex).
#7. Dru-Zod's appearance differs from his counterpart in the comics because it is a nod to his appearance in the canceled Syfy TV series, Krypton, and, as such, it can be assumed that his familial relationship with the members of the House of El and the House of Zod are most likely the same as depicted in that canceled TV series.
#8. Barry Allen's mother (Nora Allen) does NOT die like in the comics, and, as such, she is still alive in the present day, and the circumstances that causes Barry's father (Henry Allen) to be framed for Nora's murder and wrongfully sent to prison also NEVER happens.
#9. The Joker was directly involved in the death of Jason Todd one way or another; regardless if the events/circumstances are different in comparison to what is depicted in the mainstream DC Universe.
#10. Jason Todd and the Red-Hooded Ninja are truly one and the same person; with the cause of Jason's return most likely being the the result of the Lazarus Pit, and his initial inability to recognize his former teammates (as depicted in Young Justice Season 3) most likely being the result of post-traumatic amnesia due to the injuries (presumably) inflicted on him by the Joker.
#1. If an evolutionary offshoot race of the Thanagarians somehow existed in the DC Universe, and if they were an analogue/pastiche of the Shi'ar from Marvel Comics, what would be a good name for such an offshoot race? Also, would this offshoot race likely use the same naming convention as the Thanagarians, or would it be different?
#2. If an evolutionary offshoot race of the Kryptonians somehow existed in the DC Universe, and if they were an analogue/pastiche of the Strontians from Marvel Comics, what would be a good name for such an offshoot race? Also, if this offshoot race were to use a Kryptonian naming convention, would it be based on the traditional Kryptonian naming convention, the ones used by the Phaelosians (who only use the "personal name"-"family name" Kryptonian naming convention for BOTH males and females), or something original?

It's good to see that you're taking questions again. I've spoken to you on Twitter, but like you said, Twitter's quicker, but it's much better here because you get to give a more thorough response, which I like too. You and Station 8 must be more on top of things now.
I thought Young Justice: Outsiders was great and pushing the boundaries more than ever. I've liked more or less everything, except for when Victor was crushed to (near)death. That was hardcore, Greg.
I was only able to watch the first episode of Phantoms, unfortunately, and that was only through the use of my VPN to access that for free, officially, from the DC Fandome. The season has yet to come to the UK in any shape or form, and I'm really surprised Outsiders came.
I did think it was strange how you got Greg Cipes to do the voice of Beast Boy. I guess I would've preferred a new actor to take on the role.
It's not quite the same as Kevin Conroy coming back and doing the same serious Batman for almost 30 years, since your Beast Boy isn't really the same comical Beast Boy from Teen Titans 2003 or Teen Titans Go.
I think he nailed it, though, so that may make my questioning of it pointless. Since Cipes was also Beast Boy on a Lego DC Super Hero Girls movie, I'm wondering if there's an attempt from DC to kind of streamline the voice as the main Beast Boy. Although I'm sure if you didn't want Greg Cipes, you wouldn't have cast him. I doubt it was a DC mandate.
So, I guess that brings me to my first question:
1. Why cast Greg Cipes? How did that come about, was that a conscious decision from you, Brandon, or Jamie Thomason?
2. Another question is about Marvin's goatee in season 4. Was that still influenced by Shaggy from "Scooby-Doo?"
I have some other questions, but are of a different topic, which is Space Ghost, and Hanna-Barbera in general.
3.A How did you and Brandon end up creating your own Space Ghost series.
3B. Why didn't it get picked up?
3C. Was Space Ghost and your own ThunderCats a close thread that kept you around WBA to eventually co-create Young Justice, or were they all separate incidents?
4. Would you still be open to doing your own Space Ghost? Because I would love to see that. With you at the helm, I bet lots could be done.
5. Do you think Hanna-Barbera cartoons belong in the modern era? You tried bringing Space Ghost back, so at least you do with him. But I've also read about other revivals that were rejected, too, such as Top Cat, Blue Falcon, and even El Kabong. While there were times when WBA did greenlight revivals such as Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs and Wacky Races, which were either liked or disliked. Scooby-Doo can't be the only Hanna-Barbera cartoon that's worthy of being continued.
I also want to thank you for answering my Stargate: The Hunted questions, which included the lengthy detailing of the plot, the backstories of the characters, because you were luckily in your office that day. Well, it made my day, but I just never got to thank you until now.
When you said how you hoped a second season would be the good guys going after the bad guys, I was thinking how you could have even changed the name to Stargate: The Hunters, because the hunted have become the hunters. But the original title still works, too. Ha.
It's also nice that Gargoyles is getting new comics and merchandise again. Too bad Disney won't push for another new season from you.
I should close it there as I've taken up enough of your time, Greg. I sincerely appreciate it.
P.S. I was formerly Green Lantern's Nightlight, and going by my real name for some reason. I suppose it doesn't matter which name I use, but I'm trying to bring some continuity, instead of just being random person #5000 (and I know some others here who have been asking you questions for years).

Hello Greg!
This may seem like a pretty oddball question, but its about Wildcat in Young Justice.
I was browsing the Young Justice TV Tropes page and came across Wildcat's picture, where he looks a fair bit darker-toned than the other members of the JSA. So it got me wondering: is he possibly Latino and/or Black on Earth-16, or just very tan?
Usually its pretty self-explanatory, but I went snooping to see where else he might've popped up and he shows up at Kent Nelson's funeral in the tie-in comics, but when I looked at the actual page he looked white. Given the comics back then tended to have more than a few coloring errors (a prime example being the very white, blue-eyed Artemis), I'm more inclined to trust the episode he first appeared in as what he actually looks like, but confirmation would be wonderful.
Thank you, and I hope you're having a great day!
1. I was just on the Gargoyles Wiki and reading on the Gargoyles 2198 stuff and it said that the Illuminati would ally with the Space-Spawn. Was it kind of a full circle thing to have the Light teaming up with the Reach in Young Justice Invasion?
2. I know the Gargoyles do not have the same view or put the same focus on biological family like humans do but what would the closest analogue be for Lexington's relationship with Alexander Xanatos? Brothers, Uncle/Nephew, etc.?

Iâve been watching a lot Spectacular Spider-Man recently and Iâve really been enjoying it. My question is a bit more of a hypothetical, but here goes: The stars have aligned and you get to finally do a continuation of the series, and youâre free to use any of the new Spider-Man characters introduced since Spectacular ended, but thereâs one caveat. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the character, the executives want you to bring in Miles Morales as a member of the main cast. How would you go about it?

In the Earth-16 DC Universe, what is the in-universe explanation for the Kryptonian naming convention in which the male naming structure is "personal name"-"family name" (such as Kal-El) the per-marriage female naming structure is "personal name" "father's name" (such as Kara Zor-El), and the post-marriage female naming structure is "personal name" "husband's family name" (such as Lara El)?
Mr. Weisman,
I have three questions I would like to ask you:
#1. At the time of this posting, DC Comics had recently introduced the Phaelosians; an evolutionary offshoot of Kryptonians descended from a fringe science colony who were exiled from Krypton thousands of years ago. Information about this race can be seen in the link provided below:
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Phaelosians
My question is this: If Young Justice gets renewed for another season, what are the chances that the Earth-16 version of the Phaelosians will appear?
#2. This next question is just for fun. If there were ever an evolutionary offshoot of Kryptonians in the DC Universe that was an analogue/pastiche of the Strontians from the Marvel Comics Universe; at the very least having the exact same powers and weaknesses as the Strontians, what would you name these people if they ever somehow existed in the DC Universe and what would you name their homeworld? Here's a link provided below in case you don't know who the Strontians are:

#3. This is a follow-up from question #2; also just for fun. If an analogue/pastiche of Marvel Comics Universe character, Gladiator (real name Kallark), somehow existed in the DC Universe, what would be a good superhero name and Kryptonian name that you would give him? This question assumes that you already know that Gladiator is a pastiche of Superboy (since some of the members of Marvel Comics' Imperial Guard are pastiches of members of the Legion of Super-Heroes), and that you know that this question is asking about who would be the analogue/pastiche of an already-existing analogue/pastiche comic book character.
If Young Justice gets a second revival would you ever consider doing a season long story about the multiverse?
How does Superboy view Jor-El and Lara-El? Even though they are Superman's parents, they aren't tecnhincally his since he was born from Superman and Lex's DNA. Does he see them as his descendants or something?

Hey Greg,
Just wanted to let you know I'm five issues into the new Gargoyles comic from Dynamite and really loving it so far.
I'm just wondering if you've pinned down a date for lil' Michael Maza's birthday?
when Mera Nereus married Orin
Hi Greg,
Is Richard Craemer the priest who officiated Wally's funeral in Yesterday's Children?
Greg why do have as part of season 4 of young justice for Garfield to lose his couple relationship with Perdita because you Greg believe it was not possible for Garfield to tell Perdita that he does needs help and do what Perdita want Garfield to do so Garfield and Perdida stay as a couple, but still Garfield could tell black canary that he needs help?
Have Artemis Zatanna and Miss Martian ever had on Baseball caps or newsgirl caps on at the same time on some of there girls night out trips in the 5 years between seasons1 and 2 and joked about things like Robins girl history or Kid flash as well?
Dear Greg,

Dear Greg,

Thank you in advance, Tristan

Where does Shelly Longshadow work?
Dear Greg,
Let me just start by saying that I ADORE Gargoyles. it's with out a doubt one of the best series of all time. Even my parents agree ( I got them successfully on board) . The way you incorporate Shakespearian lore into the 20th century New York is phenomenal, but you probably know that already.
I hope you'll be able to spare the time to answer me. I know you're probably very busy, but it would be an honour and a privilege to receive your input.
I'm currently studying for my BA in Archaeology, yet I'm looking into incorporating Animation as well. I'm a writer- I like writing my own stories and drawing my own characters. Initially I thought I'd go for 3D animation, since that's the big thing right now and it's truly fascinating, yet all the TV series I truly love and appreciate are in 2D, such as Disney's Gargoyles, and I want to learn everything- I want to make my own stories and animate my own characters - I want to CREATE, and in 3D animation I get the impression I'll always be dependent on someone else, since it seems like I can't specialize in everything- rigging, sculpting, animating, shading, etc.
The problem is I'm not so sure what I'm looking for-
1) which softwares are important to learn? What should I keep my eye out for?
2) What did you do in order to acquire the tools to create Gargoyles?
3) I read you were initially an English Literature teacher before you became a producer and writer. What caused you to change your profession?
Take care and all the best,
Head of the Gargoyles fan club,
Eliana
P.S- Just so you understand who you're dealing with - we Jews have this holiday called Sukkot, where you basically built a hut outside your house. Every year we have a theme for the decorations of said hut- one year Disney, one year Transformers, etc. Recently we did a Gargoyles theme, and it came out AMAZING. The best decorations we ever had. Perhaps I can somehow send you pics.
Thank you,
Yo I was wondering what are some of the characters ages by s4 like is Bart still a minor? Or beast boy? Not rlly a huge question just mostly a curiosity one
Hi! I recently read about the possibilities of a prequel series for Gargoyles. I was curious about how casting might work, are there people in mind ? Or there be auditions of sorts. I completely get if this is something thatâs canât be answered yet or such.

Why have you not made a new gargoyles series?
Was the Dember 1 2010 visit the only time miss martian visit GRFIELD and his mother Marie after miss martian first the Logans in episode Image before Queen bee killed Marie Logan in January 2011?
Did miss martian visit garfield more often than when miss martien visit garfield when garfield live with his birth mom marie logan after miss martian first met the Logans in YOUNG JUSTICE episode IMAGE?
Why do you MR. GREG believe you will get the numbers of fans to support recurred for a season 5 of young justice to be produce after you made so many young justice fan angry about season 4 by have Garfield breakup with Perdita over depression and drug use cause by beast boy believing he cause Superboy to die on mars when you Greg knew Conner was alive in phantom zone and was going to reunite with M'gann at the end of season 4 and marry m'gann at of season on 4 and also making so many angry by not animating vandal savage's back story in season 4 but showing vandal savage's backstory as series of still images in season 4 of young justice?
You previously stated that on June 22, 2007, Lexington is continuing his journey. My question is when/why did he start and or the purpose of his said journey?
During the time Garfield was living with rita farr after marie died did miss martian tell martian manhunter that she still visiting garfield after marie logan die and if miss martian did not tell martian manhunter that she was still visiting garfield after marie died then why not but if she did tell her martian uncle that she was still visiting garfield after marie logan die then what did martian manhunter think of miss martian was still visiting garfield logan when garfield lived with rita farr after marie logan died?
Did Miss Martian tell her Uncle John about meeting the Logans and getting to know Garfield and Marie Logan before or after Marie Logan died?
After the events of young justice season 1 why didn't M'gann not go to the Logans to tell them that their lives were in danger from queen bee? After all, in episode IMAGE queen bee told miss martian if something happens to queen bee Garfield would pay the price and later Miss Martian knock queen bee out in episode 25 of season one of young justice.
Why was Marie Logan and Garfield Logan not giving protection by justice league and the team after the events of young justice episode Image?
Why was Miss Martian not with Garfield when Garfield Logan and his mom Marie Logan's home was closeup after Queen Bee killed Marie Logan?
1) All the Kryptonians in the Phantom Zone wear the same black and grey outfit, with red crests were present. Is it a standard prisoner outfit, a Kryptonian military uniform, or a uniform of the House of Zod and its followers? Or does it have another significance?
2) I notice Lor-Zod wears something similar but distinct, with an orange crest instead of a red one. Did the uniform/outfit change in the 31st century, or is Lor's just different?
3)What does the different color crest signify, if anything?
Hi Greg, hope you are well.
You recently revealed Wit Sauders and Lupe Teresa Leocadio-Escudero as part of the YJ Character countback.

3) Is the Happy Harbor police officer in Welcome to Happy Harbor also Wit?

Hey, Greg!
I hope you are well and everything is going great with your current projects! I have a Spectacular Spider-man question that Iâve been wondering about for a while: was âFinal Curtainâ meant to be Spectacularâs version of âThe Night Gwen Stacy Diedâ? The reason I ask is because, first of all, I know you didnât plan to kill off your version of Gwen Stacy, like in the comics, so a straight forward adaptation would have been off the table from the beginning, and second, I noticed a lot of similarities between how âFinal Curtainâ ends and the way the comic story ends. Both end with Norman Osbornâs apparent âdeath,â Harry vowing revenge against Spider-man, and Peter not with Gwen (albeit for VERY different reasons). I know you donât like to give out spoilers, so this next part is more me sharing what I think: I have a theory that Peter and Gwen were never meant to be, no matter what, and would have gone through the rest of high school as two people who like each other, but just waited too long to admit their feelings and become an official couple. But thatâs just my own personal speculation. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, and read my fan theories. I wish you well in your other projects. Thank you!
Hi Greg,
Not a question, just wanted to say thanks for my childhood. I watched Gargoyles as a kid as I was growing up and I loved it. It gave me an appreciation for Shakespeare and Mythology before I every knew what they were. I remember watching Gargoyles reruns in my parents room as the clock ring midnight from 1999 to 2000, and did the same when it switched over from 2019 to 2020 (though the following year didn't go as planned lol). With Star Trek Picard wrapping up, I wanted to get a TNG enterprise tattoo and am incorporating the Phoenix gate into it because I first heard Frakes and Sirtis in their Gargoyles roles. Essentially, thanks for creating an amazing program and amazing childhood memories. Fingers crossed for a revival show!
Cheers
Nick T.
After queen bee kill marie logan how did Rita learn both that Marie logan was dead and Garfield was still alive? It would take some time for rita to get ready to go get garfield after rita learns that marie was dead so where did garfield stay at after marie died before rita came to garfield to take garfield to live with her?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. Does Madame Xanadu live in her parlor or does she have a residence elsewhere? 2. How long did it take Madame Xanadu to unlock and master her magic and does she own and wear a baseball cap or a newsgirl cap from time to time ?
Hello Mr. Weisman!
I hope you and your family are doing well. I have recently begun re-watching The Spectacular Spider-man, and I think itâs still one of the best adaptations of the character weâve ever gotten. I realize that, as youâve said before, itâs extremely unlikely weâll ever see a third season on TV (hope springs eternal, but itâs clear Marvel and Sony have their own plans for the character going forward), but how likely is it that we could ever see a continuation in comics, or some other media format, similar to what was done with Gargoyles? I know you may not be able to give a concrete answer to this question, but could it ever be a possibility? Thank you for your time, and good luck with all your current projects!
I hope this doesn't trigger a spoiler alert but will we see Freddy freeman in a potential season 5 of young justice
I know HBOMAX made season 4 of young justice but my question is why didn't DC Universe not want to make season 4 after DC UNIVERSE made season 3 of young justice?
Hello. I have a question regarding Young Justice.
Do characters such as Steve Trevor, Mr. Terrific, Vigilante/Greg Saunders, Sir Justin/Shining Knight, Scott Free/Mister Miracle, Catwoman and STEEL/Pat Dugan exist in Earth-16?
Hello again!
In the YJ count back, you listed 645: Correctional Officer Hart and 691: Ripley. Both are guards at Belle Reve, so why was Ripley not given a title in the count back? I know Hart has a bigger role in the episode than Ripley, but they wear identical uniforms and neither are given a rank in dialogue. Not trying to use this as a 'gotcha,' I'm just curious.
Thank you!
Hi, Greg! I love my favorite character from Gargoyles, Brooklyn. Is a possible Timedancer series in order for the comics since the last couple felt unfinished and a lot of unanswered questions about him meeting his girl?
1. What were the reactions of Lex Luthor and Icicle Jr when they learned about Superboy's death?
2. How did Lex Luthor handle the news? Did he react to Conner's death like how Sportsmaster reacted with Artemis in season 2? concerned about his reputation?
3. How did Icicle Jr. handle the news? Did he truly grieve his death since they are frenemies?
4. Did the Light ever conduct their own investigation into Superboy's death like the Justice League did?
Did miss martian's sister go back to mars with her parents after miss martian and superboy's wedding on earth or is miss Martian's sister still on earth by the time of the events of young justice comic story targets takes place?
Does Perdita have a scar on her neck in young justice season 4 because it is a clue that she will become a meta human in the future?
Is the Perdita that is seen in young justice season 4 phantoms a clone and if that is correct than is the real Perdita dead by the time of young justice season 4 or is the real Perdita kept alive in a chamber during the time period when season 4 take place like the real Roy was found in by the clone Roy in young justice season 2 invasion of young justice?
Is Cassandra Cain considered a sibling to the Robins in YJ, was she being raised as Cassandra Wayne after being a runaway from the Shadows? Also, is Steph her BFF in this universe?
Hello Sir, do you have any pointers on when it comes to writing a story that would inspire the reader.
In the young justice universe is one of the male members of The Light the biological father of Garfield Logan?
In the young justice timeline did every part of Garfield's body turn green in one day in 2012 or did Garfield slowly turn green over time across his boy threw out the year 2012 in young justice timeline?
When Garfield was living with Rita in 2012 did Miss Martian learn that garfield's skin was going become green or get super power before garfield turn green in 2012?
Hi. Just so glad Gargoyles continues again with Dynamite. Rewatched the series again and stumbled over one question:
In the episode "Golem", Preston Vogel was capable of awaking the Golem/alter the spell to send Renards soul into the Golem. Is Preston Vogel a secret sorcerer? Or how else was this possible? (Hope this doesn't count as spoiler request...)
best wishes. Gia
I would argue that YJ (especially season 4) has some of the most diverse, representative, and necessary storylines/characters I've seen in animation. Unfortunately, as you are familiar with it, there is a lot go ignorant people who don't see why it should be included. What do you think is the importance in this being present in animation? (I know what I think, but would love your take!)
Hi Greg. I have been a huge fan of YJ since it aired all those years ago. I hear other shows you have worked on have a similar level of longevity and notoriety amoungst watchers. My questions are as follows:
1. What do you think is the reason projects you work on strike such emotional chords and fans attach themselves to the work so passionately?
2. In regards to YJ, is there a certain character's evolution from S1-S4 (and other works) that has a special place in your heart? (My personal favorite is anything Artemis) If so, why?
3. Have you ever regretted the inclusion of a certain character, story decision, etc in YJ but had to keep it around?
4. From a fan perspective, it is clear that the bureaucratic reasons have continuously stifled the show from using certain characters, storylines, being renewed, etc. What was this experience like behind the scenes? Did you often find yourself battling for certain decisions/being told no on ideas or did you have ample creative freedom?
Why did you decide to have a permeant breakup end to Garfield's happy life with Peridia as a couple after you had his happy life with his mother Marie logan and his happy life with his godmother Rita with both Marie's and Rita's deaths?
Is the young justice universe Wally West really dead or is wally west (kid flash) some were alive in some place that his hero friends can rescue wally from if the heroes ever find out that wally is alive something like what happen to superboy in season 4?
Hi, Greg.
Still loving the Young Justice Character Countback. I was wondering if you could tell me who "660. Dirty Old Man" is, or at least point me in the right direction. I've found everyone else (except for Wild-Wagon, but someone else asked about them ahead of me.)
Hope you're having a good day. Thank you for your time!
Would Garfield and Perdita still breakup if the Outsiders or blue devil got black canary to council Garfield before Perdita came to visit Garfield at the hub and if that is the so then s why?
How did Nightwing and Mal feel about the love triangle they witnessed between Miss Martian, Superboy and Lagoon Boy in Depths?
1. Were they disgusted by the "couple's" actions in front of Superboy?
2. Were they on Conner's side?
3. Did they know Lagoon Boy was only Miss Maritan's rebound guy?
4. Were they rooting for Supermartian to get back together?
This here is a bit of an interesting question. Do the characters of Young Justice in general (the Team, Outsiders, Justice League, their friends, allies and even enemies) see Miss Martian and Superboy as the best and perfect couple out of every romance on the show especially after what happened in season 4 even compared to some of their own relationships; examples like Dick and Barbara and Kaldur and Wyynde?
Dear Mr Weisman 1 How long have the A'dare sisters and Cairo de Frey worked for intergang and do all 3 ladies wear baseball caps or newsgirl caps from time to time both on and off work ? 2. Doring Artemis arc in season 4 when Jade was telling Artemis and the others Orphin's backstory i saw Onyx Adams inch away in horror like Artemis did when Jade explaned why Orphin is mute was that ment as a a hint that Onyx had bean telling the truth about Cassandra savage ? (witch she was in the end)
What is the name of Eduardo Jr.'s mother?
Why you just allow Tara or one of the other outsiders to ask beast boy what was wrong with him when the outsiders realize there was something wrong with beast boy so the outsiders could get him help from black canary before Perdita comes to the Hub to see Garfield? After all that is what most fans wanted to happen.
what did Eduardo Dorado Sr. study and whether a bachelor's, master's or doctorate
Would Garfield still breakup with Perdita if the trip to mars for miss martian and superboy wedding on mars when on as plan and no evil time traveler from the future came to kill conner and if so why?
Why did you not let Garfield and Perdita get back together as a couple after she rescue in issues 6 of young justice bock story targets because that most fans wanted to happen because the fans did believe it was wrong have Garfield lose Perdita in season 4 over depression made by Garfield blaming himself for conner's death on mars to only to show after Garfield breakup with Perdita that conner is still alive in the phantoms zone and get back together with miss martian and get married in the last episode of season 4?
Hello, Greg! Here to say, excellent work on Young Justice, Gargoyles, and other franchises you've worked on. A curious question regarding your continued work on Gargoyles (i.e. the Dynamite Comics continuation) does Demona remained unchanged(pre seasons 1-3, Puck's spell, Hunter's Moon, etc) before her upcoming return in issue 7?
what is the earthly name of M'comm M'orzz
Were there any video recordings or security feeds from the events of The Mirror showing humans as gargoyles, or did Puck transform those too?
Greg why would you just let Garfield listen to Peridia and let Garfield do what she wanted him to do to get help in young justice phantoms episode 13 so they could stay together as couple and not breakup? Because that is what so many young justice fans wanted to happen.
Why did miss martian choose to date superboy and in the end marry superboy when she knows she ages slower than her earth friends and because of that she could live for a long time after superboy dies?
Did superman interduce superboy to superman's adopted human parents the Kents before or after queen bee kill marie logan?
Did Garfield ever visit the kent farm with conner and m'gann after beast boy learn superman was clark kent?
Just curious but did M'gann ever go with Conner to visit the Kents in Smallville or was it simply Kents only until she married into the family? I didn't see her in Conner's flashback, but it did include Wolf and Sphere.
Why do you believe it is a good story to end Garfield and Perdita's time as a couple over depression over garfield thinking he made conner die on mars when you knew conner and miss martian were going to get married at the last episode of season 4?
During the years when Rita was a member of the doom patrol Garfield was living with Rita how was Garfield able to go visit Miss Martian after Garfield's skin turn green if Garfield could not use the zeta tubes during the years Rita was a member of the doom patrol?
Many young justice fans view the outsiders did betray Garfield after Garfield return to earth from mars by the outsiders didn't ask Garfield why Garfield was not going on outsiders missions when the outsiders realize there was something wrong with Garfield. What is your answer to this?
Why did you end Garfield and Perdita as a couple because you believe it is unrealistic for them to stay as a couple as she is royalty, and he is not despite the that if Garfield married Perdita Garfield would become royalty by marriage and Garfield could still lead the outsiders and support peridia being as queen and Peridia could support Garfield leading the outsiders after all Orin support Mera become queen and Mera would support Orin become a member of the justice league again so why did you MR Greg not believe Garfield and Perdita could do the same as Orin and Mera?
Hello! Out of curiosity,

In season 1 Desmond tells his staff to âprepare the NEW Project Sidekick.â Does that mean the Roy/Will project was also called Project Sidekick (just like the Superboy project was called Project Krypton)?
Will you consider continuing young justice in comic book form if you can't get more animated seasons of young justice to be produced?
Why did you not let garfield and peridia get back together as couple at the end of the last issue of young justice comic story targets after perditia is rescue because that many young justice fans wanted to happen because many young justice fans did not believe it was fair or right for garfield to lose perditia over garfield's drug use and depression cause by garfield thinking he cause superboy to be kill on mars to only you have as part of young justice story only to have superboy and miss martian get back together to marry at the end of season 4 of young justice?
Hi again. I decided to ask the last 2 question, that anre connected to the witch boy.
1) Recently, I rewatched the whole YJ series (ps we need 5th season so baaaad ahaha) and noticed one interesting thing. In the 3d season we saw that Klarion (even if heâs immortal and just a concept) feels pain. As I understood, the reason why the witch boy wasnât focused on the mission RuTaBaGa was Beast Boy who turned into a bee and started stinging him. And now in season 4 we see Child maked a huge hole in Klarions body and he was like âI donât careâ. So here is my question: does the witch boy feel pain or he was just pretending in 3d season?
2) if we clearly see in 4th season that the lord of chaos cant be âkilledâ, only his anchor, and Klarions physical body amazingly functioned after such a serious damage, can we say the same about the lord of order? I mean, I see they use different ways but if the hosts body would take such fatal wounds, will Dr. Fate still able to do anything? Because if no and with the death of the body Dr. Fate will must find another alive man/woman, why the witch boy does not actually try to kill Nabu. (If Klarion does not want to kill Nabu at all just because it would destroy the balance, (what looks weird and non-chaotic a bit to me), I understand it)
Thanks for ur replies in advance!
does the light still have the means to create more ocean master clones if they wanted to?
If Klarion puts Teekl on his shoulders very often, then why he doesn't slouch? I ask because cats are kinda heavy when they grow up so Iâm just curious if he can get tired of it or heâs just much stronger physically than it seems due to his skinny appearance
What is Barbara Gordon's mother's name?
I'm really confused about this here...
Since Superboy revealed himself to the world in the season 3 finale, does that mean that everyone in Happy Harbour knows the truth about Conner Kent and if so then why was Marvin still clueless until a year later by the time of the wedding?
Does everyone regret or feel badly for discovering too late that Superboy was still alive? It took them months to find out the truth and yet they could've found out sooner had everyone just been a little honest.
Superman had his meeting with the Legion and Zatanna saw her vision of Superboy calling for help. Haven't they realized yet all their secrets have done is only hurt everyone and this was the worst of all since Conner suffered the greatest being trapped in the PZ and suffered mentally, physically and emotionally.
Also Does Zatanna regret waiting MONTHS before she finally told the truth about her vision?
1. Do you regret not getting the original team together sooner in the final season for example everyone coming together to greet and comfort M'gann upon her return to Earth since she was still grieving Conner's death?
2. Since their grief wasn't shown as much compared to the others, how badly were Dick and Zatanna affected by Conner's death?
1. Did Miss Martian and Superboy ever go back to Mars to finish their martian wedding ceremony between the events of the finale to the Targets comics?
2. Do you regret not doing a scene where M'gann and/or Garfield went to visit Conner's memorial on the Watchtower?
3. Is Em'ree still living with M'gann now that Conner's back?
4. What's the one thing you wish you could've done or included in the final season (character or story wise?)

Why do believe you get the amount of fan support you need to make a season 5 of young justice after you made season 4 so woke?
Why did you just let beast boy listen to Perdita so they could stay together as a couple and not breakup because that was what most fans wanted to happen and not loose Perdita over drug use over depression over Garfield believing (he Garfield) cause conner to die on mars? After all you Greg knew conner was alive.
When Wendy Harris first time sees Garfield with green skin what was she told to explained why Garfield had green skin? Both of them have been to Conner's birthdays between season 1 and 2 of young justice so they must have meet at some point between season 1 and season 2 of young justice.
Which of conner's birthday parties made by megan morse between 2011 to 2015 did Garfield go to?

Did Rita learn of Garfield logan's eyes turning green before or after Marie logan die?

3 - Lastly, what year did Black Manta began his villainous career?

Why did you have Garfield have permeant a breakup with Perdita as a couple if you believe Garfield and Perdita were the right one for each other just as you believe superboy and miss martian were the right one for each other?
Why do believe you get the numbers of fans you need to support season 5 of young justice to be made after you made so many fans anger at you for having both as parts of the story of the young justice story to have beast boy loss Perdita over mental health drug use depression problems cause by beast boy believing he cause conner to die on mars only to show after that conner was alive in phantoms zone and not get Garfield and Perdita back together as a couple at end of the issue 6 of young justice comic story targets after having Miss Martian and Superboy get married in last episode of season 4 of young justice?

Hi Greg,
Have you considered completing your other cancelled projects (e.g. Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice pre-Season 3) in comic form, like you have with Gargoyles? I ask because presumably it would be cheaper to do than animation and thus easier to pitch.
Thanks in advance.

In "Terminus" when the Justice League attacks the Orphanage, Wonder Woman and her squad are in a blue bubble. It looks like Rocket's force bubble but she is not there. It doesn't seem like it could be from one of the green lanterns, even putting aside the color, and unlike the lantern around the Orphanage, does not go away when the Leaguers are enthralled. The League squad don't seem to be carrying any unusual tech, not even space-belts.

hi Greg, i had a question about Bart's original timeline. i'm not sure if it qualifies as a spoiler but i understand if it does!
the Reach were planning to slowly addict the human race through the additive they were putting in food and drinks and make them incapable of resistance, but the Light were neutralizing it. with the Reach coming out on top in Bart's original timeline, did they eventually catch on to and remove the neutralizing agent and successfully addict people to the additive?

Why did you not have beast boy listen to Perdita so they could stay together as a couple because that what most fans wanted to happen, after all you Greg knew that Conner was still alive in the phantoms zone instead of having Garfield losing Perdita over Garfield's drug cause by beast boy's depression which is cause by Garfield believing he (Garfield) cause conner to die on mars?

Why should beast boy lead the outsiders as leader again like time travels from the future say he does despite not a single one of beast boy's outsider friends on earth would ask beast boy why beast boy was not going on outsider missions with the outsiders after beat boy return to earth from mars and before Perdita came to the Hub to see beast boy?

where Wonder Woman works on earth
I had some thoughts on Miss Martian abusing her powers that I wondered if you could respond to.
My interpretation of what we saw and were told in season two was essentially that Miss Martian has various levels of "brain blasting" and psychic interrogation. We know her brain blast of Psimon in Image left him incapacitated for years; even by the time of Legacy it seemed he was only partially recovered, and seemingly needed several more months before he was able to escape his hospital room permanently, as described in Beneath. Her attack on Kaldur seemed to be of a similar scale. Everyone seemed to believe he would not recover without outside telepathic aid. I'll call this a Level 2 brain blast for the purpose of this ramble.
On the other hand, the Krolotean she interogates at the beginning of Alienated appears fully recovered by the time he appears at the end of the episode to leave with the Justice League. Granted we don't see him talk or get any idea of his mental state, but he is standing, not drooling, and generally seems okay. Shimmer clearly has fully recovered from Miss Martian's attack in Beneath by the time of Before The Dawn. I'll call these Level 1 attacks.
My interpretation had been that Kaldur and Psimon were exceptional cases, where M'gann was driven by extreme anger that pushed her to go much further than she normally would. In virtually all other cases (unless perhaps hypothetically she were to encounter Queen Bee), her attacks would be at most like the the latter Level 1 examples, incapacitating the victim for hours, days, perhaps a few weeks at most, but they recover fully fairly quickly without need for external help.
This, to me, feels like the only way to make sense of the Justice League (and the rest of the Team besides Superboy)'s seeming indifference to M'gann's "abuses" of power. I can see why Superboy might feel that what she was doing was too much even at Level 1 and that he might fear, rightly as it turned out, that it would lead to greater excesses. But how many times must Superman or Batman or even Superboy himself have given an opponent a bad concussion, put them in hospital for days or weeks, or even a coma? Heck, how often do you come across stories of someone dying from one punch in a drunken bar fight? The heroes must realistically severly injure and kill some people accidentally from time to time, and not just by using lightning powers on a girl with an unkown heart condition. I can see why others might feel it hypocritical to call her out for doing something psychically that they do physically, especially if they aren't aware of how much control over it she has. It raises an interesting moral question.
I find it much harder to see the League or other members of the Team either not noticing or not caring if she was frequently doing to enemies what she did to Psimon and Kaldur. Not without her psychically manipulating them, which you have previously ruled out.
There's also the issue of Nightwing. Beast Boy flat out tells him that M'gann psychically took Kaldur out in Before The Dawn, yet he is shocked when Conner later tells him M'gann fried Kaldur's brain in The Fix. My assumption was that Nightwing (and Beast Boy himself) assumed what M'gann did was the Level 1 version, when in fact it was Level 2. Superboy himself probably even thought that until M'gann told him the truth. It's easy to believe that if what she did to Psimon was a one-off, years ago, when she didn't have as much control of her powers. But it's hard to justify that if M'gann was doing Level 2's with any degree of frequency or recency.
However, many other fans of the show seem to believe M'gann was doing what she did to Kaldur quite regularly, and I've noticed a response or two from you that seems to suggest that the Kroloteans didn't recover and the other Kroloteans refused M'gann's help.
1) So was the Krolotean at the end of Alienated not as well as he appeared? Or was it just the Krolotean leader from Earthlings that didn't recover? Or did he recover and the Kroloteans just weren't telling?
2) Generally, was my original interpretation on the right track? Were M'gann's worst excesses limited to Psimon and Kaldur, or at least exceptionally rare?
3) If M'gann was doing the worst Level 2 brain blasts more often than I thought, were the League and the Team somehow largely unaware of it? If so, how? Would the League not keep tabs on captured villains and notice how they were in extended comas?
Thanks for indulging this long, rambling post.
Hi Greg,
In Alienated and couple of later episodes, we see the trophies the League has on display at the Hall of Justice. Many have been identified (https://youngjustice.fandom.com/wiki/Alienated#Trivia) but there are a few items that haven't been becuase we don't get a good look or they seem fairly generic:
1) In the far right cabinet there is what appears to be a golden... ball? (we never get a good look at this)
2) Next to that is a silver staff wth a round head.
3) In the far left cabinet is a pair of crossed staves which seem the same as the silver one, but gold.
4) Below the gold staves is a set of Japanese swords.
Can you tell us what these are references to, if anything?
Hi Greg, hope you are well.
There are a number of different types of Apokoliptan weapons that have made their way to Earth. I've tried to compile them all on the wiki: https://youngjustice.fandom.com/wiki/Apokoliptan_weapons

2) The device that Orion deploys from his belt to fly looks like the Astro-Harness from the comics. Is it called that on Earth-16?
When was Red Tornado inducted into the Justice Society of America?
Since you've said Red Tornado was created in 1948 (based on the age you gave him) it must have been that year or later. In the induction flashback we see Doctor Fate, looking just like he usually does, but you've previously said Kent gave up the Helmet of Fate in 1945 and used a different helmet. (https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=13668)
Was Kent's "fake" Fate costume visually identical to the original one? Or should he have been shown with a different helmet and/or costume?

I think it would make a great comic series, as everyone loves a good What If! You only have to look up all the fanfiction online to see that.

Just finished season 2 recently, love the show!
1. In the episode "Temptation" when Demona rips out a bunch of pages from the Grimorum, did she rip them out at random, or did she know where to turn in order to get those specific spells?
2. According to the different Gargoyles wikis, Demona used all of the spells she stole, save one. But why didn't she use that last spell? Was it a dud or was it going to be the plot of an episode, but then you had a change in plans?
3. I know the Archmage at the Grimorum (it still makes me laugh really hard) and now it's gone forever, but before that, it had changed hands several times, so is it possible that other pages were ripped out and saved by people before the Xanatos acquired it at the start of the show?

I have some questions regarding Oracle. Some parts of this may have been addressed in other questions in the queue, but not all of it and it seemed easier to ask this all together, sorry for any repitition.
Throughout season three we see Dick keeping the fact he is working with Oracle a secret from evryone outside the Anti-Light. At first I assumed this meant Oracle herself was a secret and no-one knew about her, but when the Anti-Light is uncovered at the end of the season it seems clear that everyone knows who she is and what she does.
1) So why does he keep it secret? Is it just because she is officially a member of a team Nightwing is not officially part of and who he shouldn't be communicating with? I'm sure most people would expect them to work together anyway, kind of like Superboy and Miss Martian did.
2) What team(s), if any, has Oracle been a member of? Or is she considered more support now than an official member, like Mal pre-Guardian?
3) Did she leave any team(s) due to the walkout in Princes All? Did she rejoin them in Nevermore?
4) Does Oracle do her own solo heroic hacking work, like in the comics, or does she just provide support for others/act as part of a team?
I've been wondering about Intergang and their relationship with Apokolips. In Disordered we find out Intergang is being supplied with equipment by Desaad. We never see them working with/for the Light, but in Salvage, Sportsmaster says that Intergang had turned from the Light, suggesting they did have a relationship prior to that point.
My theory is that the Reach almost certainly knew nothing of the Light's partnership with Darkseid, and the Light would want to keep it that way, and so needed an excuse for the Apokoliptan tech found on Earth. Thus they used Intergang and its relationship with Apokolips as a smokescreen to cover their own involvement.
Am I on the right track?

A couple of Targets based questions:
1) How did Lex Luthor find out about the kryptonite and Perdita's plan to bring it to the US?
2) How was Count Vertigo free to take part in the events of Revelation less than 48 hours after getting caught at the end of Intimate Connection? Did Arrow and Canary just... let him go afterwards?
3) How did Vertigo have diplomatic immunity in Coldhearted after getting caught trying to murder Queen Perdita?
Honestly that never made sense to me in the first place, given that the Injustice League blackmailed the whole UN, which would include Vlatava. Plus, that Vlatava doesn't seem like such a powerful country that it can stand up to basically the whole rest of the world and say "we know our guy caused billions of dollars of damage and significant loss of life in multiple very powerful countries, but we're not letting you arrest him" and not face crippling diplomatic and economic consequences, or that those countries would just arrest him anyway, whatever Vlatava thinks. But I guess its just the TV version of diplomatic immunity which means a person can just do anything and face no consequences. Bleh. Anyway, sorry for the rant, it's just a trope that bugs me.
Hi Greg, a couple of questions on the batplane(s) if I may.
We see Batman use two models of aircraft in Young Justice, seemingly both at the same time. One, first seen in Revelation, is like a fighter and was explicitly called the Batplane in Coldhearted. The second appears first in Failsafe in space, and then reapppears in Exceptional Human Beings. It is never explicitly named on screen.
1) Is the second model also called the batplane, or does it have another name e.g. batwing?
2) Is the second model accurately depicted in the simiulation in Failsafe> i.e. can it really go into near space, deploy camera units, etc?
3) In the Batcave in Triptych we see what appears to be another aircraft hanging up wiht folded wings. Is this another batplane design? A replacement for the first design which we never see after season two? A drone? Something else?
4) Revelation shows the first batplane is equipped with guns. Exceptional Human Beings shows the second has lasers. In general, how do you feel about the way Batman's "no guns" rule rarely seems to apply to his vehicles? It's always bothered me personally.
5) Does Batman have a rationale for arming his vehicles with weapons he wouldn't use directly himself?
Thanks as ever!
1) You've revelealed previously that Lietutenant Marvel and Sergeant Marvel both left the Team in the same calendar year. Did they both leave at the same time?
2) You've said that if Mary had been able to appear in Satisfaction, she would have appeared as both Mary and Sergeant Marvel. Does this mean she left the Team for reasons other than having to give up her powers, or was that something new developed in the years after season two?
3) When did Mary stop using her powers (prior to starting again in Kaerb Ym Traeh!)?

(Cos I've noticed how similar certain story lines to real life conspiracy theories such as the human cloning story line and the mind control storyline feeling similar to mk ultra, the reach energy feeling to the "fluoride in the water" and GMO conspiracy, also the way the queen bee tried to blackmail ms Martin sounds like something that could be happening to politicians all the time. Also the goode VR goggles feels like a parallel to the metaverse stuff happening now and the metateen abduction and trafficking story line feels like a parallel to many human trafficking networks we've heard about in the real word?Also the North and South Rhelasia conflict being started by lex Corp (a foreign entity) in season 1 feels very similar to what people believe the real cause for the war in Afghanistan and infinity Inc seems like an example of controlled opposition).
what is the name of Eduardo Dorado Jr.'s grandfather
Did any of the people who help you make young justice comic book story targets ever tell you it might have been a mistake to not let Garfield and Perdita get back together as a couple at the end of issue 6 at any point in time after issue 6 was given to the public to see?

Hey Greg I hope you're doing well, firstly I want to thank you for your work on Young Justice the show is great and I personally think you've done a great job with the show, I really hope season 5 ends up happening. Now my questions
1. What did Sportsmaster think of his daughters partners (Wally being with Artemis and Chesire with Roy/Will)?
2. Does Sportsmaster ever check in on his grand-daughter, does Will get any visits from his supervillain father in-law?
3. Why is Wally so much slower than Bart and Barry? I don't remember it ever being explicitly stated why although I may have missed something in one of the comics or something. Man I miss Wally.
4. Most important question, who did Brucely like more Artemis or Wally?
Personally I'm not a fan of Angela being with Broadway I agree with what a person said on your twitter page Angela deserves way better than a doofus and obese gargoyle like Broadway she and the person on twitter was right I wat he'd the 3 part Avalon trilogy and the episode I'll Met By Moonlight they do have feelings for each other and you want to know something he's not in denial about Gabriel and Angela you are their relationship goes way beyond brother and sister.

Thank you so much
Shawn
Was Terrance Thurston (Doctor Thirteen) one of the individuals who was considered for JL reserve membership by Superman and Black Lightning at the end of "Beyond the Grip of the Gods!"? Two faces were hidden in that shot, so that's why I'm asking about this.
At any point in time after all six issues of young justice comic story targets was relies to the public did any of the people who help you make the young justice cartoon series or young justice comic series subject to you Greg that was a mistake have Garfield breakup with Perdita?
Dear Mr Weisman i have some young justice questions for you 1. How long have Mist and Live wire known each other and do both girls along with Lia Briggs own and wear baseball caps from time to time ? 2. What crimes did Mist and Live wire originally commit to get sentenced to Bell Reve prison before they were both kidnapped for Meta Human trafficing? 3. how old is Doctor 13 and how long has he been active in Earth 16?
Are you going introduce more milestone characters if season 5 of Young Justice is renewed
Did beast boy's voice actor ask you to have beast boy breakup with perditia and if so why?
Soon after m'gann return to earth Why was m'gann not angry at black Canary and the outsiders and blue devil for them not getting help for Garfield for his mental health problems as soon as they knew there was something was wrong with beast boy?
During the time of young Justic comic targets events why does black canary not tell Perdita that Garfield still loves and missies Perdita and Garfield had these mental health problems on mars before Garfield return to earth when black canary and Perdita meet before Perdita gets kidnapped?
In the original timeline of the 31st century; before Lor-Zod went back in time to kill Superboy, was Kara Zor-El released from the Phantom Zone along with Dru-Zod and the other Kryptonians, or did she remained trapped in there? If the former, what happened to her after she was released from the Phantom Zone?
is project rutabaga still ongoing?
In "Leviathan Wakes," when Orin asked if everyone approved of Mera being High King of Atlantis, it appears that Mera's father (Ryus Nereus) did not give an immediate response to this like the others did (because he had his hand on his chin; as if in deep thought); although he ultimately agreed in the end. What was going on in Ryus' mind before he agreed to Mera's status as High King?
when darkseid invaded earth and before darkseid offered a partnership did vandal(genghis kahn) consider using klarion against apokolips when it became very clear his army stood no chance
Hi, I was wondering - and maybe it was mentioned in the show and I just forgot - but what was Superman's public debut like, on Earth-16? I ask because the comics have told his origins several times, retconning it a bunch, etc, and I'm wondering if Earth-16 Clark's first public appearance mirrors one of these, or is something different entirely.
John Byrne's "Man of Steel" portrayed Clark's first debu as "the flying man" (without his suit), landing an airplane. Superman: The Animated Series seemed to take some inspiration from this, though he had the suit there.
The Donner films had the classic scene where he catches Lois Lane and the helicopter, and "Superman: Birthright" took heavy inspiration from that (though the context was different).
"Secret Origin" and "Man and Superman" had their own takes. As do a number of else world stories.
So on and so forth. (Most of these had Superman perform smaller, more anonymous acts of super heroics before these points, but it's hard to class that as "public")
I'm confused about something. In the beginning of the series, Superboy is a covert hero, a secret hero that even the public doesn't know about, but yet why did he go out as a public hero in Schooled when he is supposed to remain secret? Did he go just to try and meet Superman or why was going "on a walk"?
1 between klarion and child without the boost from the other chaos lords who's naturally stronger?
2 does klarion ever have any contact with the other chaos lords since he arrived on earth?
Mr. Greg have you receive any threats from people who are angry at you for breaking up Garfield and Perdita in season 4 and not have them get back together as a couple in comic book story targets?
is it possible for multiple chaos lords to be assigned to one planet?(not counting the child situation since she was sent to replace klarion)
Does Superboy view Icicle Jr. as a friend now or does Superboy still view Icicle Jr. as an enemy?
Was Harm sentenced to life in prison for his crimes?
Is Miss Martian and Ma'alefa'ak's sibling relationship broken beyond repair?
How does Lex Luthor feel about Superboy's marriage to Miss Martian and the fact she is know his daughter in law?
Hello, Mr. Weisman. I hope you're doing good today. I've been meaning to ask you a few questions regarding some of the works you've done. I hope you are able to answer to the best of your abilities, and if you can't, that's fine.
1) I know you wrote only one episode, but what information can you tell me about the cancelled Team Atlantis show? For example, what episode plots besides the Gargoyles crossover, Puck, Nessie and the Terracotta Warriors.
2) If The Spectacular Spider-Man did continue for three more seasons, what terms from specific fields of study in high school would the episodes and movies in between seasons have been called and why? Also, how many movies of The Spectacular Spider-Man were planned?
3) Should Young Justice continue after Young Justice: Targets, what loose-ends are going to be tied-up? Also, what plots do you intend to introduce that will lead up to the Team battling the Light in the final showdown?
That's all I wanted to ask. I wish you the best and keep on being an awesome writer!
Sincerely,
Calvin Fujii
How do Garth and Artemis feel about Conner and M'gann's reunion. For 6 months, M'gann knew their pain, she knew exactly what it felt like to lose your soulmate like how Garth lost Tula and Artemis lost Wally. But when Conner was returned and reunited with M'gann how do they feel? Happy or sad? Don't be afraid to dig deep and give us full exposure. Also it was never shown, but did these 3 characters bond a lot off-screen?
1)Are we ever going to see Child again?
2)If yes and you are willing to answer, Will she play a large or a small role?
In 2021, there was a comic book crossover event called "Endless Winter," which introduced a character known as Frost King (Edwald Olafsson). If a version of this character exists in the Earth-16 DC Universe, what is his exact relationship (if any) to Ice (Tora Olafsdotter)?
Why did beast boy choose to go back to earth with superman and not choose to stay with miss martian on mars to help her to find her white martian brother?

Hi Greg,
I couldn't find any reference to the following characters outside YJ online. I was wondering if you could confirm whether they are original characters or based on existing comic characters, and if so who/where they are from if possible. (Yet again!)
1) R'ess E'dda
2) J'karaa
3) M'arrell
4) Are the Tribunes from Rimbor based on specific comic characters? Do they have names?
5) Is Karen the genomorph named for someone, like Beth, Benny and Erin? Brandon Vietti's wife perhaps?
Hi Greg,
I couldn't find any reference to the following characters outside YJ online. I was wondering if you could confirm whether they are original characters or based on existing comic characters, and if so who/where they are from if possible. (Again).
1) Elaine Jackson
2) Ali (from the Players comic arc)
3) Jaqqar Marlo
4) Xiaping
5) You've previously said Tseng Dangun's name came from the comics, but I can't find him. Any idea where he came from?
Thanks!
Hi Greg,

1) Johann Mintz

4) I found a Wilhelm and a Peter both in Batman and the Outsiders #32. Is Wilhelm Peters named for them? Or someone else?
1. Dear Greg, when Megan left for mars, why didnât she ever come back for her little brother mcomm with her bioship so that she could live with him on earth, or why didnât mcomm parents send him to earth with Megan, they can communicate with each other, or why didnât Megan take mcomm with him when she back to mars in 2016, I never understood and itâs always been a huge plot hole to me, there were so many ways mcomm could have lived with Megan on earth, so why didnât mcomm in earth with Megan. Itâs not like mcomm wanted to live on mars.

What was the reason you choose to have as part of the plot for young justice season 4 to have Garfield logan go down the path depression and drugs leading him to lose peridia thinking he kill superboy then show afterwards conner was still alive?
Katanna...Brooklyn's mate from the comics...whose voice would in your mind would sound like? For me I like to have it be the late great Thuy Trang who played Trini from MMPR!
Who sent the goggles to Perdita in 12 episode of nightmare monkeys?
Greg if you got a season 5 of young justice made did you Greg plan to have beast boy and Perdita get back together as a couple as part of the plot of season 5 of young justice?
When writing for Gargoyles for so long, but it still being set in the 90's, are there any times where you accidentally include or mention something like a piece of tech or reference that wouldn't have existed/happened yet during the writing process?
Mister Greg why do you think it possible you will get enough fans to support a season 5 of young justice to be made after you made so many fans upset with you by not have Garfield and Perdita become a couple again at the end of last issue of young justice comic story targets as many fans wanted to happen because the fans did not believe was far to Garfield Logan lose his dating relationship with Perdita as a couple over drug use and depression over Garfield believing he cause conner to die on mars only for it be shown that after the breakup at the Hub that conner is alive in the phantoms zone and later reunited with m'gann at the end of young justice season 4?
After the things that happen to beast boy in young justice season 4 Why does beast boy still trust black canary to council him when beast boy knew black canary knew beast boy was not going on outsiders missions because he was upset believing superboy was dead and black canary this knew before Perdita can to see beast boy at the outsiders base the hub but black canary did not go to the hub to council beast boy about beast boy being upset believing superboy was dead before Perdita arrive at the hub?
Hello dear Mr Greg Weisman,
I am Jacob Katana from Germany!
I didnt know how to contact you anywhere else, so I thought this is the only possibility that I can reach out to you. I don't know if am right here with my request, and I also hope that your supporter of this site will sort my request out of the other messages you get about fan theories and so on.
First of all thank you for sharing your art with the whole world and especially for me as a teenager .you made my .. ,I think it was on Saturday something between 5-8 p.m where I could watch it on television here in Germany, evening very special as a kid! The stuff the made in the early days was on another level. But iam not here because of the gargoyles. I'm here because your magic the gathering books! I didnt know they even existed till know and since I played magic the gathering when I was a kid I had to buy those. They are still on my way!
But as coincidences as it always happen I saw you haven't released a German audiobook version! And I'm actually a Voice Over Artist for commercials, trailer, explanatory videos and especially audiobooks. I like to narrate stories especially in the sci-fi fantasy thriller genre.
You are missing out on the opportunity for very good sales here!
The audio book market is becoming more and more important and it grows constantly. I haven't had a look on the book since Its on the way to me. But my own ambitions to be the speaker for my favorite-game- themed book tells me that I need to do this. And I have no doubt that it will be good! I see a big potential here! I'm sure you could benefit from an audio book version and get a lot more revenue out of it here in Germany.
I could do that for you! I would offer the audio book production for you free of charge as part of a so-called "royalty share".
This means for you: 0 efforts and 0 costs.
I do this as follows:
I'll produce the audiobook, put it out on Audible and take the risk if it doesn't sell. However, if it sells, we split the income 50/50 - that's the principle of royalty share.
As I said, you don't have any expenses or costs in advance and would earn more directly through this - you will open yourself for the audiobook market and will be presented there and appear as an author here in Germany . That would also significantly increase your awareness and popularity.
Does this maybe sounds interesting to you?
You can contact me on kontakt@katanaandvoices.de
I don't know if these reaches you, and don't end in a discussion forum.
Can't hardly wait to here from you.
Best wishes out of the cold and frozen Germany!
Sincerely
Jacob Katana
When outsiders are about leave the hub to go rescue queen Perdita Superboy can hear Garfield listen to peridia's messages on his phone, so Superboy knows Garfield fells sadness over the loss of his relationship with Perdita so why does Superboy and Miss Matian did not try convincing Perdita to
give Garfield second Chane of a relationship as a couple by telling Perdita had his mental health problems on mars before Garfield return to earth when they are all on the bioship after Perdita is rescue?
As part of the story of young justice why did you have beast boy and peridia breakup if you believe they were the right one for each other?
Is the person who sent the google device to Perdita's hotel room in young justice Outsiders episode 12 nightmare monkeys the person that Perdita is in a relationship with by the time of young justice comic targets time period?
After the events of season 4 of young justice and before young justice targes comic events why didn't superboy fell guilt over learning Garfield and Perdita breakup over Garfield blaming himself over believing himself (Garfield) cause superboy to die on mars but if superboy did fill guilt over it why didn't superboy tell Perdita that Garfield had his meatal health problems on mars before Garfield took drugs on earth as a way to try to get Perdita and Garfield back together as a couple?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. What does Katana do for a living and does she own and wear a baseball cap from time to time when not in costume? 2 . Was Erika Ishii the first actress you hide in mind for both Mary Bromfield and child or did things just work out that way?
Will Gargoyles SLG Comics be reprinted in Trade Paperback Collection by Dynamite Comics? Will Gargoyles dynamite comics be released in Trade Paperback COllection?
Why did no outsider team member not ask Garfield why he was not going missions with them and not ask Garfield what was wrong with him after Garfield return to earth from mars before Perdita came to the Hub?
Why did you have young justice comic targets made if you had not intended for garfield and perdita become a couple again after you have them breakup in young justice phanothoms?
Hello Greg!
I love your show, but I felt a bit betrayed when all the other canon romances got to be a major thing except Chalant. Chalant was the most popular relationship on the show and season 4 gave us exactly what we wanted. Dick and Zatanna flirting and being together again. I hope if you get more content, that you circle back to Chalant! You had a great thing with her being a magic performer and Dick being an acrobatic performer. Please donât get rid of it!
What happened to the metorite that made vandal savage a metahuman? Did any other human encounter it?
No question - just props! i just finished viewing Young Justice: Phantoms, and it was so good I binge watched the entire run, and then rewatched a second time. I'm in my mid 50's here (so have seen and experienced quite a lot in my life to date) and have to say that the depth of each storyline, the character work, action and execution were pitch perfect.
keep doing what you're doing sir!! I look forward to the next run (and hope for a quick release on this seasons blu ray)
Any chance the 2006 run will be on Kindle? I had to hunt mine down on ebay. Definitely a cult classic, the series is marvelous. Show, loved it. Comic, I don't like it ...I love it. Good to see them "live again!"
Mr. Weisman,
If "Young Justice" gets a season 5, I suspect that we might not be able see the Earth-16 version of Jonah Hex. However, do you think that his descendants Stella Hex (great-granddaughter), Virginia "Jinny" Hex (great-great-granddaughter), and Chastity Hex (even though her exact relations to Stella and Jinny is currently unknown in the comics) could somehow make possible appearances in a future season?
#1. Why does the Earth-16 version of Mercy Graves never say a word on the show? I mean, the only sounds she's ever made thus far is whenever she gets hurt/injured in some way...
#2. When exactly did Mercy Graves receive her cybernetic enhancement for her right arm? Also, was this cybernetic enhancement something that she went through willingly (which I assume is her own way of showing how deep her loyalty is to Lex Luthor) or not?
#3. What is the last name of the Earth-16 version of Otis?
1. Just wanted to start off by saying Young Justice's worldbuilding is just amazing, and it's one of my favorite versions of the DC Universe. Was there ever any talk of making some kind of Earth-16 guide or encyclopedia to include info about the world that the show itself couldn't cover?
2. Young Justice has this really cool balance between realism and comic booky stuff. How did you and the rest of the staff decide what aspects would be more grounded and what aspects wouldn't? Like, who wears tights and who wears armor, what technology gets explained etc.
3. Love your work and thanks for everything :)
Hi Greg I am a big fan of your work on young justice and spectacular Spider-Man. One of my favourite things that you did on spectacular was introducing some lesser-known villains, such as Colonel, Jupiter and molten man. One of those two villains Molten man was my favourite as a lot of spidey media doesnât do him justice. If a third season had happened would we have seen more episodes of molten man?
Hi Greg. Just curious as to Goblins intentions in Spec Spidey, season 1 ep 8. Why exactly did Goblin sabotage Otto? did he want him dead or replaced? Or did he in some twisted way want to make him stronger willed?
1) Was making Artemis teach a lecture instead of a seminar a considered decision or just a style choice?
2) Is it just the comic world, but if Artemis is 25ish is she currently a professor or a TA?
Asking the question with the obvious answer for wiki editing and clarification purposes: Are Tony and âToniâ twins?
In season 5 of young justice Did you plan to show who sent Perdita the goggles in season 3 episode nightmare monkeys if a season 5 of young justice is ever made?
So if I understood correctly you're supporting this kind of people : https://twitter.com/ClownWorld_/status/1615056992049172480 ?
If you're OK with that behavior and eager to encourage it, I guess you're as crazy as these people.
Do you want to be responsible of the mental destruction this generation is already suffering ?
Can't you see the madness in wokeness ?
Hello Greg. Big fan of yours
1. If Martian camouflage has nothing to do with light why their shadow vanishes every time they camouflage, shouldn't they still cast a shadow as the light still hits them?
2. With practice could a Martian develop its telekinetic abilities so they could project telekinetic blasts to hit and knock back(or out) and puch away their enemies, as well as telekinetic shields/barriers in order to deflect and protect themselves and other from attacks such as bullets,lasers, etc kinda like the force style
3. I've always thought that Martians camouflage works on the same basis as the comics with a few changes you know "by using their shapshifting abilities to change their biopolymers to reduce their capacity to reflect light they become NEARLY invisible "
Thanks for your time.
Do the scenes in Young Justice Season 4 that involve Ma'alefa'ak/M'comm M'orzz teaches a Moral/Hard Truth Aesop which is the fact that some people/beings won't change no matter how much you try, and sometimes you only see good in people (or non-human beings) because that's what you want to see. Fortunately, Arsenal/Roy Harper was never truly one of the people who are beyond redemption and still had some good in him, unlike M'comm.
I've been rewatching season 3 of Young Justice and had some questions about the meta-gene.
1. Do you have any idea how much of the powers the meta-gene gives are determined by genetics? When Vandal's story is told, many of his children have different powers, so it doesn't appear very genetic. However, everyone with the meta-gene in Brion Markov's family has similar powers from the meta-gene.
2. If the powers from the meta-gene are largely genetic, does that mean that there are different mutated versions of it?
Hello Greg !
Coming here to talk about some subject. I just came back from twitter where you said :''Woke isn't a dirty word to me. I WANT to be more woke. What's the alternative - being asleep? Not seeing people for who they are, but deciding for them instead?''.
I thought maybe I could bring my vision (my YJ fan vision) to your thinking.
I don't even know where to start...First of all, how can you not see the orwellian language behind the word WOKE ? I mean, if a politician calls a repressive law "the liberty law" it doesn't mean that by fighting it you're against liberty, right ? It's-just-a-name ! Who's calling that like that ? Who's saying that this represents tolerance and progress ? I mean, seriously : who is ? The words tolerance and progress were existing already, so why using a new name ? Huh ? It's like creating two political parties, calling them left and right, and saying those two are the only alternatives. Because except left and right there is nothing else, right ? Well, maybe center. But you can see the trick here, don't you ? I'm sad you're falling into this.
Now, when you say elsewhere there are more than 2 genders... Scientifically, there are 2 sexes: male and female. Those are ruled by the sex chromosomes, which are XX in females and XY in males. There can be some special cases that we call "intersex" due to sex chromosomes malfunction. But this represents like 0,1% of the cases. Now what the woke people tell us, is that a man who thinks he's a woman IS actually a woman. This is crazy. They're thinking the psychological factor takes over the genetic factor. This is crazy, wrong and dangerous. A man thinking is a woman is still a man... thinking he's a woman. A man thinking is a dolphin must be considered as a dolphin ? Come on ! This is a psychological issue, who must be dealt with psychiatry and not surgery.
Btw, are you in favor of surgery ? Of mutilating children at a vulnerable age ? Taking advantage of a temporary psychological weakness to do irreversible damage to a child ?
You should read Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. She tells the story of teenage girls taking hormone replacement therapy and sex reassignment surgery because they "feel" like men. The parents can't do anything under the threat of being called trans-phobic or fascist. Most psychologists are supporting this. How can somebody even tolerate that we use irreversible drugs and medicines on teenagers ?
THIS IDEOLOGY IS ACTUALLY DESTROYING LIVES !!! We stopped counting the number of witnesses saying "they encouraged me to destroy my body, cut off my breast (for instance) and now, I realize I was sick and I don't want to change sex anymore but it's too late, my life is ruined and the woke community (of course) rejected me now, calling me a trans-phobic".
Because this is only a temporary state. The few parents who saved their children from this atrocity did it by cutting all contact with people, social media and so on. After a few months, the child isn't talking even about changing sex anymore.
Please, realize the danger of this. If you wanna be tolerant, great. But woke is something else. Something dangerous. It's important to see it.
I'm not seeking to make you think like me, but only to consider it. I think you're doing something very wrong with YJ, especially when addressing to a young audience.
Have a good day still !
Mr. Weisman,
The whole thing with the "Young Justice Character Countback" that you've been doing in the "Latest Responses" section confuses me. Are all the names that you've been identifying basically confirm that they all exist in the Earth-16 DC Universe?
Which of the MCU Spider-man films are your favorite?
On Earth-16 of YJ is Orphanâs Legal Guardian Bruce Wayne?
Why didn't Zatanna attend Kent Nelson's funeral since he was a close family friend?
If "Young Justice" gets a fifth season, will the consequences of Zatanna's actions (especially with Mary having now become a villain without any of the heroes knowing about it) be one of the major plot points of that season's overall storyline?
If the Earth-16 version of Power Girl (Tanya Spears) ever gets introduced in "Young Justice," would she join the Team or the Outsiders?
Mr. Weisman,
In the timeline of the Gargoyles universe, did the events of 9/11 happened? If so, how did that tragic event affected both gargoyles and humans in the years that followed?
Some fanfiction stories talk about PIT or P.I.T.. Apparently, this is an organization that helps Gargoyles or helps Gargoyles and humans to understand each other. It may be that in the German episodes this charity was never introduced. Could someone tell me what P.I.T means - what does this abbreviation stand for? Is there a site where I can read about it? I can't find anything about it in the Gargoyle wiki either. Thank you very much and sorry for the trouble, Quinn Taxon
In some kind of parallel universe where you got the chance to work on a massive crossover featuring the characters from a large portion of the shows you've worked on (Gargoyles, W.I.T.C.H and Spectacular Spider-Man in particular because i unfortunatelyhaven'twatched Young Justice and those shows are my hyperfixations, deal with it), how would they all react and interact with one another?
You can just do interactions between main characters, I just want to see how this kind of scenario would play out.
After Garfield Logan started living with Rita Farr in 2011 did Garfield attend a school in 2011 in young justice universe?
Why has Garfield Logan no been told that martians age three times slower than humans by the time of young justice season 3 and if Garfield does know that martians age 3 times slower than humans by the time of season 3 why does Garfield still view miss martian as his sister knowing miss martian was born before his mom Marie logan was born?
TRUE or FALSE?
#1. Big Barda is just a title; with Barda being her real name.
#2. Mister Miracle (Scott Free) is the biological son of Highfather and Highmother, and the foster son of Darkseid.
1 did ultra humanite mentor anyone else before/after helga?
2 when ultra humanite was still helga's mentor was this after he transplanted his brain in tolifar's body or was he still using the unknown woman's
With all respect to you Mr. Greg why do you Greg think you will get plenty of fans to support for season 5 of young justice to made after you didn't have Garfield and Perdita get back together as a couple at end of young justice comic story targets as many fans wanted to happen because many fans did not believe it was far for Garfield loose Perdita over GARFIED'S depression over Garfield believing he cause Superboy to die on mars to only have Conner and Miss Martian get back together and married at the end of young justice phantoms and not have Garfield and Perdita get back together as a couple at the end of young justice comic story targets?
When rewatching Gargoyles I know wonder about Goliath's choice to go into the suspended animation. Why would he go into suspended animation knowing the eggs would hatch soon? Was it did he think that he couldn't protect them or provide them with a suitable home and raise them all by himself?
In the audio podcast for âCity of Stone Part Four,â you mention that the Dynamite Gargoyles comics are written to a three-act structure, like a traditional network TV episode (or at least, the first three issues are). I recall you saying that you started writing the SLG comics more in a âTV episodeâ mindset, but the Stone of Destiny storyline helped you break out of this. Although you did still then use a three-âactâ structure in both that storyline and the âTimedancerâ one, and have apparently adopted that to the Dynamite comics as well. Iâm just curious as to your process, as a fellow writer: do you find the three-act structure most conducive to telling stories in the Gargoyles universe, and is that why you continue to use it?
Hey Greg really enjoy your work on Gargoyles and even the latest comic it's great. This may be spoiler so I apologize if it is, but with Brooklyn and the Iago gargoyle there was some parallels to them, but now Brooklyn found his true love and even built a family while Iago stays alone and now a machine. At the end of possession episode Brooklyn said he'll be waiting when ColdSteel(Iago) returns. Will we ever see the two fight?
I have a question regarding Lexington (Nothing against the choice you made for his love life in the comics) but if thereâs any other comic stories you write about him I hope you can eventually have him meet a female who has wings just like his and falls in love with him for his smarts. But perhaps Lex is turned off at her at first because he still struggles to trust anybody.
If this does happen then there could even be a spin off of the female mates of the Trio having their own adventure comic series with Elisa. That would be cool to read. But it is your comics. I.m not a judgy type. But I hope you consider this for another comic series with this idea for the future. I am a huge fan of the whole series overall. Brooklyn being my favorite.
Mr. Weisman,
In the "Black Adam" 12-issue limited series, Black Adam's full name is Theo Ramses Djoser Teth-Adam; he addresses himself as such in the first issue. Is this also true in the Earth-16 universe as well?
Why exactly did Jefferson Pierce and Lynn Stewart get divorced in the Earth-16 universe; assuming the reasons are different from what is depicted the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
After Lex Luthor became United Nations Secretary-General, Lena was officially placed in charge of LexCorp. At the end of "Young Justice: Targets," Lex is shown to be back at Lexcorp. As such, what happened to Lena Luthor since the end of Season 3?
To Greg Wiseman,
1. Is Samson a descendant of Goliath and look like him in Gargoyles 2198?
2. What is the deal between Dynamite and Disney with Gargoyle?
3. Who is stronger: the enchanced Archmage or Oberon and who would win in a fight between them and who is stronger between Oberon mother stronger and Enchanced Archmage and who would win if they fought?
4. Did Coyote have battle armor on or not when he first appeared?
How did Jason Todd die? in the young justice cannon.
hello! i had quick little question about young justice. i noticed that in young justice, almost all of the gay and trans characters in the show are aliens or otherwise not human. please donât get me wrong i absolutely love all the rep, but it feels a little weird that the only trans character is a human alien hybrid and all but one gay character is an atlantean.
Greg did you plan to have Garfield and Perdita got back to together as a couple at some point in time in season 5 if season 5 of young justice was ever made?
(sent my last ask off before i finished, apologies) Why does that other guard, the one who says "captain of the gargoyles you mean" look so much like the captain?
A guard looks like the captain of the guard back in 994, He's one of the guards who says the line about "Captain of the gargoyles you mean"
Have Tim and Bart ever clarified that theyâre not the same Robin and Kid Flash to the public?
Mr. Weisman,
After Tomar-Re was killed by Lor-Zod, was his soul sent to the Emerald Space; the resting place of all Green Lanterns who died in service to the Green Lantern Corps?
Mr. Weisman,
In the epilogue of "Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths" issue #7, the mainstream DC Universe (Earth-0) appears to now have it own version of "The Light," and it is called "The Council of Light." This version of the group appears to be a mysterious alliance of seven unknown power brokers, and their goal is apparently to wipe out ALL metahumans (both good and bad) on Earth because they believe that metahumans are too dangerous to be controlled or imprisoned. Therefore, they are giving Amanda Waller permission to use every resource available to full eradicate all metahumans on Earth. In light of the revelation of "The Council of Light," my question to you is this: Were you ever consulted by DC Comics about this? I mean, did they needed permission from you to be able to introduce their own version of "The Light" into the mainstream DC Universe; since the group originated from the "Young Justice" animated series first?
Sorry if you've had this question before: -
I've noticed that Disney seems to be remaking a lot of shows lately, and it made me wonder... If Disney was to hire you to do a remake of gargoyles set in modern times; what would you do different in it?
The one thing that stands out to me is the City of Stone saga. I enjoyed those eps a lot, but I imagine you would have to change a few things if it happened today. For one thing, not a lot of people watch live TV, so Demona would have to figure out another way to broadcast her spell to the people (maybe internet). Plus I imagine everyone would know what happened to them at night, since there are plenty of CTV cameras, cellphones to catch images, as well as satellite cameras etc.
Hi Greg,
Since GARGOYLES came back, nobody has yet posted a ramble to Ask Greg as far as I can see and I'm not even sure if you're still looking for them - particularly with the queue so long. But hopefully it is, at least, nice to vicariously share someone discovering GARGOYLES #1. (And if not, since we could be years and many rambles hence by the time you get to this one... oops).
So here, adapted from my S8 first impressions, is my ramble...
NIGHTWATCH
Amazon have annoyed me since they took over ComiXology but I can't fault them here. Getting to my local comic shop before they close at 5.30 is tight on a Wednesday but Amazon delivering the book to my account so early is absolutely perfect for me. I can take a moment in the peace to read before the chaos of the day begins. It just makes for such a pleasant experience.
I also find e-comics my favourite way to read. I can zoom in, the backlit screen makes everything look good but George Kambadais' amazing art particularly benefits.
TEENAGE KICKS
What caught my attention on the preview images was the "all-ages" label. I see it's been adjusted to "teen".
I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I thought what the SLG series did with the little extra leeway was great, especially in the historical scenes.
That said, I was thinking if it was pushing to stay all-ages I might bring some issues into school for my class. I'm glad the rating has been clarified.
(Since writing this, I listened to VOICES FROM THE EYRIE #27 and it sounds like this book won't quite be as edgy as the SLG books so we'll see).
INSIDE COVER
Great stone aesthetic although I miss the punctuation. I guess new-fangled concepts like punctuation doesn't fit the old-school carved-in-stone look.
I've never heard the term "packager" before in comics and I'm grateful to Craig in the Comment Room for filling me in. Nate, from what I can tell, is doing an absolutely bang-up job of promoting the book.
CITY LIGHTS
I'm really in love with George Kambadais' colours. He does brightness so well. The lens flare is a difficult line to tread - one wrong move and he's JJ Abrams. But he manages it. Dark Age Scotland is given a genuinely fresh perspective with that bright sun on the sea and New York looks glorious. And he is master of the speed line.
The gargoyles all look themselves and yet also there's a real flair to the style. He's just such a great choice to make the book feel completely different and yet still quality.
(Which doesn't mean I still don't want to see the legends Christopher Jones, Karine Charlebois and Greg Guler back in the fold when the opportunity presents. Let's hope those spin-offs awaken as well...)
MOONLIGHTING
Of course it's a full moon. But since this is Gargoyles, it's also probably a trail of breadcrumbs to the actual date - or would be if we could pinpoint how far along Maggie was in "Clan-Building". Based on the moon calendar, my guesses were 20 April or 22 May.
Although I'm really curious to see those initial conversations with Brooklyn immediately post-dance and I kind of hope that one day we revisit that day, I do like that we've had a modest time jump. Small enough that it doesn't feel like we're catching up with radically different people which sometimes I feel can be the risk of a time jump - that you're arbitrarily distanced from the characters and have to rediscover them. But large enough that it feels like a great jump-on point.
DETECTIVE'S PERSONAL LOG
I absolutely love the choice to use Elisa as the POV character. Not only is it brilliant hearing the classic narration in Salli Richardson's voice (okay, only in my head, but still), but it feels fresh and yet also like such low-hanging fruit as the human lead is usually the access point to these kinds of shows - April discovering the turtles or the companion discovering the Doctor. In retrospect, 'Gargoyles' really stood apart in this sense -- it was always the story of the gargoyles and Elisa was, initially at least, just another threat to them. That worked brilliantly for the animated series but it makes this flip feel fresh and yet accessible in the best way.
Another VOICES revelation is that there will be different narrators for the next quite-a-few issues. Will be interesting.
TITLE TALK
Okay, a confession. I LOVE the original show's way of presenting titles. There's something about the font, the colour (including the "Hunter's Moon" variants), the use of capitals and inverted commas that's kind of ingrained in me - I just think the show had the best-looking titles in town. But I appreciate there's no sensible reason to resurrect them and frankly this feels much more fresh and modern and, as titles should be, low key. Also, some of the "Clan-Building" titles had an odd distortion where it looks like the aspect ratio had gone skew-whiff. This looks crisp and great.
There's no secret about Greg's penchant for one-word titles (in which I'm including where the only other word is "the").
At a very (very) quick tot counting chapter titles and books:
Season 1 was 40% one-worders
Season 2 was 64% one-worders
Season 3 85% one-worders
In Season 4, so far: 0% one-worders. What's happened to Greg?! (I love "Here in Manhattan" as a title mind you).
LETTER OF THE LORE
Shout out to Jeff Eckleberry. Lettering is thankless if you do it right and disastrous if it goes wrong. There were a couple of times on the SLG book where it stood out for the wrong reasons (at least in my printings). This issue is perfect -- even though there are a few tricky things to pull off like the Eyrie building panel with two different narrators. And I'm not sure outline-less captions always work for me as a general rule but it suits the art in this issue really well. Superb job.
GNASH
If it's been months I kinda feel bad for Gnash if people are misnaming him. Perhaps his parents prefer Nashville (sentimental reasons?). You'd think Lex would have learned after the Angie thing and a few months is plenty of time for him to get used to a new name. Neither of them look happy at being left by Broadway and Brooklyn.
Lots of subtle revelations here. Gnash has seemingly spent a fair bit of time recently in the UK - or around people who use that slang. Or perhaps just around people who like the sixth 'Harry Potter'. And we have confirmation (I'm not sure it was in "Clan-Building" that Katana is from feudal Japan). I love the "don't ask".
SISTER ACT
It's interesting that Elisa considers them sisters since she is effectively Angela's step-mother. And to be honest, even on the World Tour, I kind of looked at them more of a family unit. Of course, Elisa's a relatively young woman so she's not going to think of herself as a mother figure to an adult conceived a thousand years plus years ago. But I wonder if Angela would see it the same way.
SPINNING PLATES
Owen is just kinda standing there. It's great to see him but he's literally just holding an empty plate and staring. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious...? (It's later been clarified by more eagle-eyed Phoenician in the S8 CR).
THUG LIFE
Great to see Glasses and Jack Dane. Good thing I rewatched "Turf" recently for the first time in years as I forgot Jack Dane had partnered with Brod.
"We made them share a cell because we thought it'd be funny" - does Elisa have any control over prisoner placement?
YOU WERE ONLY MEANT TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF
Apparently the book was too exciting because the middle pages of the comic fell out of their staples as soon as I got there. A bit disappointing - I've never had that happen with a new comic before and if it were my first read-through I'd be a bit more taken out of it.
Since then, someone else in the room has reported an issue with the Nakayama copy and the stapling. However, I bought a second Nakayama copy and the inside pages are fine, and the other copies I have are fine too.
The covers are incredible. In any other situation, I'd feel this kind of thing is a bit of a rip-off but in the case of 'Gargoyles' where the breadth of fan interest has, historically, not always been there but the depth certainly has, giving fans a value reason to buy multiple copies just makes sense. I'm not able to support (or frankly, even locate) all of these but my favourite is George Kambadais'. I do like it when there's cohesion between the cover art and the interiors but also it's just a great image. However, the Nakayama and Fleeks variants are runners-up.
STONE COLD
I wasn't sure how Coldstone and Coldfire would go down as we've really seen very little of them as characters outside their Othello/Desdemona/Iago plotline. I like how Coldstone is willing to advocate the "wrong" (or at least the selfish) choice. And Coldfire is more sympathetic but as far as I can tell is responsible for the fire and thus potentially the civilian casualty (who we've since realised is our beloved Jogger - and Todd ID'd the paramedics as from "Deadly Force" which is the deepest of deep cuts. Anyway, it makes me concerned whether or not the Coldduo are really cut out for the kind of work the gargoyles do. Hmm.
I think Coldstone will be proved right though: there is a problem if the gargoyles are only seen by the "bad guys" and don't have any wider representation. I wonder where this will go and I feel like this could have a bigger resonance across the "Here in Manhattan" arc.
BACK TO THE BACKSTORY
I love the way the recap narration here keeps us in the action. This was one of the things that jangled me a bit with previous recaps in Clan-Building #1, #3 and back in the original show in episodes like "Outfoxed" and "The Cage". In "Nightwatch" especially it felt like Goliath telling Elisa something she already knew so the audience could listen in. This feels so much more elegant.
Plus, it's just never as exciting seeing something the second time around. There's no need here to see a Sevarius flashback for the purposes of this issue so we get to see Brendan and Margot instead because... well, of course we do! (Seriously, I got so distracted by the pair of them I missed that this sequence was about the drain at first).
And more cameos - love seeing Erin, Benny and Thug in colour! And always great to see Shari back. (It must be a little weird for the real Erin and Benny that their 'mutate selves' are still, give or take, the same age as they were when they first 'debuted').
QUIET PLEASE FOR THE MAIN EVENT
One of the clever by-products of Elisa narrating the story is that the tone shifts when it goes "quiet" and we're not in her head. Thailog doesn't need an introduction or a name - he's totally the bad guy. And yet the re-use of the close-up mouth angle just emphasises he's a clone.
Thailog's final lines are pretty chilling but I wonder if there's something else happening. I just can't imagine Thailog taking to the languid pace of raising a child. Surely the accelerated pace of clone ageing is more his speed? Yes, a child born to mutates is significant, but he has the mutates' designer almost literally on his right hand. Is it just the link to Elisa that makes him want this specific child? Or is this a distraction? What a bastard.
CLIFF-LOUNGING
No mega cliffhanger for this one - not on the final page anyway. That's fine. I really love how this is kind of a chill issue, just surveying the lay of the land.
9.09% BIGGER!
I admit, I never expected this one to be 24 pages, even though the SLG books were. 22 or even 20 seems to have been such a standard for a long time (admittedly I don't currently read any other comics regularly). I am, of course, delighted.
All told -- I love it. Yes, it's very heavy on introductions but it never feels clogged with it. Everything moves along at a nice pace, we get to see where the clan and key allies are at this point in their lives. Everything feels fresh and modern and accessible. The art is amazing. The dialogue is great.
It pulls off the incredible feat of both feeling like the original series while also feeling like a modern regeneration of it. Just stunning.
Thank you to everyone involved, congratulations Greg and fingers crossed that this is the start of a truly epic reawakening.
In the comics, the six most notable human members of the Green Lantern Corps, in order, are as follows:
Harold "Hal" Jordan
John Marshall Stewart
Guy Darrin Gardner
Kyle Rayner
Simon Baz
Jessica Viviana Cruz
As such, given that it has been indicated that there are FOUR Green Lantern in the Justice League as of Season 4 of Young Justice, this would mean that Kyle Rayner DEFINITELY has to be the FOURTH Green Lantern whom Aquaman (Orin) had indirectly mentioned, correct? If so, then when exactly did he join the Justice League and what is his designation number?
Questions in relation to the Earth-16 version of Ice:
1. In regards to Ice's real name (Tora Olasfsdotter), why is her last name spelled out as Olafsdotter, and NOT as Olafsdottir; considering it seems like it is apparently based on Icelandic naming tradition?
2. Since Ice's last name clearly indicates that Olaf is the name of her father, has Olaf ever also gone by the name Marius; like in the comics? Also, is he currently deceased; like in the comics, and if so, how old was he when he died?
3. Is Ice's mother's name Elsa? Also, assuming she is still alive; like in the comics, how old is she as of the end of Season 4?
4. Is Ice's sister's full name Nikolina Olafsdotter OR Nikolina Olafsdottir? Also, is she is Ice's older sister or younger sister? Finally, assuming she is still alive; like in the comics, how old is she as of the end of Season 4?
5. Is Ice's citizenship identified as Norwegian?
6. Was Ice's as-of-yet-unnamed paternal grandfather an evil person; just like how he was depicted in the comics? Also, is he currently deceased; like in the comics, and if so, how old was he when he died?
7. Was Ice and her sister born into a Norwegian Romani clan; like in the comics?
how did the light react when they heard of the anti light
Hi Greg, love your work!
The trailer for Across The Spider-Verse dropped and it looks like it's got every version of Spidey in it. Well... almost.
You know how Andrew Garfield said he wasn't the werewolf? I'm wondering if your version is the werewolf this time... and I'm obviously talking about the werewolf we saw in the trailer, duh!
Dear Greg,
I know this isn't what AskGreg is for but I didn't know any other way to contact you.
My name's Rachel Bierman. Big fan of your work! I'm a college student who wishes to get into the publishing industry after graduation next year and part of my efforts to make connections and put my name out there is to create a book blog where I review books and interview authors.
I would love to interview you if you're able to. To make it easy I can just email you the questions and you can type out your replies when you have time in your schedule. It would cover your comics, and your Rain of Ghosts series and future endevours.
If yes, you can email me at rrbierman@gmail.com. If you no, you can still email me the rejection. I'd love to hear back from you if you have time but I understand if you don't.
You can see what the inteverview would be like here: https://rachelreadsreviews434255182.wordpress.com/category/interview/
And my post on your works here: https://rachelreadsreviews434255182.wordpress.com/2022/11/27/author-highlight-greg-weisman/
Have a good day,
Sincerely,
Rachel Bierman
Mr. Weisman,
#1. What is the gargoyle tradition in regards with dealing with the death of one of their own; in comparison to various human traditions?
#2. Is the gargoyle version of "death by natural causes" like a permanent form of stone sleep; in which very old gargoyles who have reached the natural end of their lives one day turn to stone when the sun rises, but don't wake up when the sun sets? If not, then what actually happens?
#3. Do gargoyles establish parent-child and other familial relationships among generations of their own kind in the modern era; all the way up to the year 2198?
#4. Did Brooklyn became the permanent leader of the Manhattan Clan AFTER Goliath's death (which happens at some point between 2004 and 2198)? If so, how long did Brooklyn held this position before it eventually was passed on to his own successor?
#5. Between 2004 and 2198, was there ever a civil war amongst the gargoyle clans; between those who sided with the humans and those who hated the humans?
#6. Between 2004 and 2198, did Elisa Maza died of natural causes, or did she died in the line of duty, or did she died of a broken heart (assuming Goliath's death was the cause of it)?
1. Do the following individuals from the comics also exist in the Earth-16 universe?
Samuel "Sam" Kent - Father of Jonathan Kent, father-in-law of Martha Kent, adoptive paternal grandfather of Clark Kent.
Harry Kent - Brother of Jonathan Kent, brother-in-law of Martha Kent, and adoptive paternal uncle of Clark Kent.
Sarah "Sal" Kent - Wife of Harry Kent, sister-in-law of Jonathan and Martha Kent, and adoptive paternal aunt of Clark Kent.
Bert Clark - Brother of Martha Kent, brother-in-law of Jonathan Kent, and adoptive maternal uncle of Clark Kent.
Daniel "Dan" Fordman - First husband of Martha Kent; he passed away due to lung cancer.
Eliza Fordman - Sister of Daniel "Dan" Fordman, and former sister-in-law of Martha Kent.
2. Are the following biological relationships correct in relation to Kal-El/Clark Kent in the Earth-16 universe?
Don-El - Biological paternal great-great-grandfather
Ter-El - Biological paternal great-grandfather
Seyg-El - Biological paternal grandfather
Lor-Van - Biological maternal grandfather
In-Ze - Biological paternal great-uncle
Zor-El - Biological paternal uncle
Alura El - Biological paternal aunt
Kara Zor-El - Biological paternal cousin
In case you are confused as to why I put "adoptive paternal/maternal" and "biological paternal/maternal," I am trying to make sure it makes sense from Clark's point-of-view in regards to his biological and adoptive families.
Mr. Weisman,
1. In the Earth-16 universe, are the following relationships below correct in regards to the family of Soranik Natu?
Thaal Sinestro (biological father)
Arin Sur (biological mother)
Abin Sur (biological maternal uncle)
Amon Sur (biological maternal cousin)
Dgibb Natu (adoptive father)
Karoll Natu (adoptive mother)
2. Is Soranik Natu's birth name Soranik Sinestro?
3. As of the time of her first appearance, how old is Soranik Natu?
4. Since Soranik's father is from Korugar, and her mother is from Ungar, this makes Soranik a Korugaran/Ungaran hybrid, correct?
5. When exactly did Soranik Natu join the Green Lantern Corps?
6. At the point of time of her appearance during the credits scene of "Rescue and Search," does Soranik know who her biological parents are; even though she is adopted? is she also aware who her maternal biological uncle and cousin are?
Mr. Weisman,
I just want to let you know that the comic book "Dark Crisis: Big Bang" has an updated list of worlds in the DC Multiverse. Sadly, "Young Justice" is NOT on the list.
So your correction to the YJ count back makes my previous question moot, and makes me look a little tin-foil hat, if I'm being honest. So here's another: are Justin King VI and Philip Wilcox original to Earth-16?
You said #KeepBingingYJ on HBO Max/TELETOON/Adult Swim CANADA/StackTV/Prime Video CANADA was the best way to #SaveEarth16, #RenewYoungJustice and increase chances of Young Justice Season 5 happening! What about DVD sales, VOD sales, Young Justice: Targets comic book sales or Change.org petition signatures?
Hi, Greg! I remain fascinated by the Young Justice character count back, but today's entry threw me for a loop. Who is James King VI? I found a character with two appearances named James "Jimmy" King on the DC wiki, but nothing for James King or Jimmy King on the YJ wiki. Would you be willing to at least point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Do you think that Disney WITCH will ever get a season 3? Many people are requesting a Disney WITCH Season 3 and their are even petitions for it.
TRUE or FALSE?: the Earth-16 version of Darkseid's family
1. The order of Darkseid's three sons, from oldest to youngest, is Kalibak, Orion, and Grayven.
2. As all three of Darkseid's sons each have a different mother, they are considered to be paternal half-brothers to each other.
3. The name of Kalibak's mother is Suli.
4. The name of Orion's biological mother is Tigra.
5. Grayven's as-of-yet-unnamed mother hails from an as-of-yet-unnamed world that was conquered by Darkseid.
6. The mothers of Darkseid's three sons are currently deceased in the Earth-16 universe.
If Tye Longshadow was Jaime Reyes' best friend in the Earth-16 universe, then what about the Earth-16 versions of Brenda Del Vecchio and Paco Testas; who were Jaime Reyes' best friends in the comics?
Questions about the family members of Earth-16's Jaime Reyes:
1. Is his father's name Alberto Reyes?
2. Is his mother's name Bianca Leal Reyes; with Leal being her maiden name?
3. Is his younger sister's name Milagro Reyes?
4. Are his paternal grandparents' names Alejandro Reyes (grandfather) and Conchi Reyes (grandmother)?
5. Is his maternal grandmother's name Elena Leal?
Hi Greg, how are you? i wanted to ask some questions here
1. In your Spider-Man show would you consider Peter a handsome guy as Romita Peter or just a kinda cute guy like ditko's?i ask this because i find curious that pete attracts a lot of young females in your show(like in the comics too) and although he has a lot of qualities besides his physical appearance, i was wondering how much of his outer appearance is noticeable to the likes of Liz or Gwen. i.e if he is a handsome guy.
2. Do you think Spidey being short and skinny its the better way to go with a spider-man built?(like in your show) or do you prefer him being taller or maybe buff like the Romita era.
3. What is your favorite live action version of Spider-Man from the movies?
Can we see all the Disney WITCH season 3 own transcripts? And if you did Disney WITCH Season 3 how would you do it? And can you reaves all that you know about Disney WITCH season 3?
Hello! I am curious if you were ever able to get the chance to make season 3 of The Spectacular Spider-man, would you still go through with the plans you have revealed so far (scorpion and hobgoblin) and basically the rest of the plans you had before? Or have ideas changed over time or are you gonna come up with completely different ideas?
1. Between 2010 and 2018, how did Joker managed to escape Arkham Asylum?
2. After the Joker was defeated in January 2018 by Batman and his team, was he sent back to Arkham Asylum again, or was he sent to a more secure prison that is better equipped to dealing with his insanity and unpredictability?
3. Just like in the comics, is the Joker directly responsible for the death of Jason Todd? I'm NOT asking for any details whatsoever in regards to this event; ONLY for confirmation (yes or no) as to whether or not it happened in the Earth-16 universe.
Hello, Mr. Weisman. I have some questions about Young Justice regarding Orion.
1. Was Orion born on Apokolips?
2. When did he move to New Genesis?
3. Where was Orion during the events of âAway Missionâ
4. Is Orion a member of the Justice League?
5. Are Kalibak and Grayven, Orionâs brothers?
Hello Greg,
you probably get this a lot but my first question is
1)how do you feel about being back in the saddle in terms of Gargoyles?
Reading the first issue gave me major nostalgia in the best way and I was wondering if it was the same for you.
2) Is there any character in particular you've missed in terms of Gargoyle? Reading the issue made me realize i didn't even know how much i missed Goliath.
Mr. Weisman,
Just to be sure that I interpret the generations of the Kane family correctly in the Earth-16 universe...
#1. At least one generation consists of Martha Wayne, Jacob Kane, Nathan Kane, Philip Kane, and Bette Kane's as-of-yet-unnamed father; even though there's no way yet of knowing what is the actual order of oldest to youngest sibling in the Earth-16 universe.
#2. At least one generation consists of Bruce Wayne, Katherine "Kate" Kane, Elizabeth "Beth" Kane (Kate's twin sister) and Bette Kane; with Bruce being the oldest of this generation, and Bette being the youngest of this generation. As such, the girls would be Bruce's maternal cousins (via Bruce's mother), and Bruce would be the girls' paternal cousin (via their respective fathers)
#3. Bruce Wayne is the ONLY member of his generation of the Kane family whose relationships with his uncles and aunts on this side of the family are considered maternal because his mother was a Kane before she married Thomas Wayne. For Bruce's cousins, all relationships with their uncles and aunts on this side of the family are considered paternal via their respective fathers, but nothing is currently known about their respective maternal relatives via their respective mothers (Gabrielle Kane and Bette Kane's as-of-yet-unnamed mother).
#4. Roderick Kane is the father of Martha Wayne, Jacob Kane, Nathan Kane, Philip Kane, and Bette Kane's as-of-yet unnamed father. Roderick Kane is also the maternal grandfather of Bruce Wayne, and the paternal grandfather of Katherine "Kate" Kane, Elizabeth "Beth" Kane (Kate's twin sister) and Bette Kane.
#5. Elizabeth "Betsy" Kane is the mother of Martha Wayne, Jacob Kane, Nathan Kane, Philip Kane, and Bette Kane's as-of-yet unnamed father. Elizabeth "Betsy" Kane is also the maternal grandmother of Bruce Wayne, and the paternal grandmother of Katherine "Kate" Kane, Elizabeth "Beth" Kane (Kate's twin sister) and Bette Kane.
#6. Nathan Kane's wife was Katherine Webb Kane (with her nickname being "Kathy," and Webb being her maiden name) in the comics. If this is also true in the Earth-16 universe, this means she is the maternal aunt of Bruce Wayne, and the paternal aunt of Katherine "Kate" Kane, Elizabeth "Beth" Kane (Kate's twin sister) and Bette Kane.
#7. Catherine Hamilton Kane (with Hamilton being her maiden name) is Jacob Kane's second wife in the comics. If this is also true in the Earth-16 universe, this means she is the "maternal aunt by marriage" of Bruce Wayne, the step-mother of Katherine "Kate" Kane and Elizabeth "Beth" Kane (Kate's twin sister), and the "paternal aunt by marriage" of Bette Kane. As such, Bruce Wayne and Bette Kane would be considered Catherine's "nephew by marriage" and "niece by marriage," respectively, from her point-of view.
If any of my interpretations on the Kane Family are incorrect, please kindly explain to me as to where I got the facts wrong.
Thank you.
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics of the 2000s, the "Batman of Zur-En-Arrh" is depicted as a violent and unhinged backup personality of Bruce Wayne that was created by him as protection against psychic attacks. As such, this personality is essentially Batman WITHOUT Bruce Wayne. Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of the "Batman of Zur-En-Arrh"?
1. What makes Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake so different from each other as Robins?
2. Since the Earth-16 Damian will likely not be Robin for about a decade, who would be the next likely candidate to take up the mantle of Robin after Tim Drake?
In the Earth-16 universe, who discovered the Phantom Zone and learned about its various effects on those who are sent there (discoloration, lack of heat signatures, and the inability to age, die, or heal) and learned about the creatures that are apparently native to it (such as Devourers)? If more than one person was involved in these discoveries, who are they? And finally, when exactly were these discoveries made?
1. In the Earth-16 universe, when a female Kryptonian from one House is married to male Kryptonian of another House, is she no longer a member of her former House? For example, since Lara Lor-Van married Jor-El and became Lara El, is she no longer a member of the House of Van? Likewise, since Kara Zor-El's mother, Alura In-Ze, married Zor-El and became Alura El, is she no longer a member of the House of Ze?
2. What is Lor-Van's (Lara El's father) exact relationships with each of the known members of the House of El in the Earth-16 universe; starting with the most recent generation (Jonny Kent) and then going backwards? Be sure to indicate paternal and maternal relationships of each character in relation to Lor-Van if necessary; for Jonny Kent's case, it's also a biological relationship.
3. What is In-Ze's (Alura El's father) exact relationships with each of the known members of the House of El in the Earth-16 universe; starting with the most recent generation (Jonny Kent) and then going backwards? Be sure to indicate paternal and maternal relationships of each character in relation to In-Ze if necessary; for Jonny Kent's case, it's also a biological relationship.
#4. In regards to the Kryptonian who is the father of Jor-El and Zor-El, the paternal grandfather of Kal-El and Kara Zor-El, and the paternal biological great-grandfather of Jonny Kent, is the man's Kryptonian name spelled out as Seyg-El (like in the comics) or Seg-El (like in the Syfy TV series, "Krypton") in the Earth-16 universe?
#5. Is Ter-El the father of Seyg-El, the paternal grandfather of Jor-El and Zor-El, the paternal great-grandfather of Kal-El and Kara Zor-El, and the paternal biological great-great-grandfather of Jonny Kent?
#5. Is Don-El the father of Ter-El, the paternal grandfather of Seyg-El, the paternal great-grandfather of Jor-El and Zor-El, the paternal great-great-grandfather of Kal-El and Kara Zor-El, and the paternal biological great-great-great-grandfather of Jonny Kent?
I'm sorry, Greg -- I would like to apologise to you, please, because I just checked the search function and realised that the question that I've just submitted was one I submitted a couple of months ago. I'm so sorry. I'll be more careful in the future.
We know that Troia is 20 years old biologically in Team Year Nine, but of course we don't know *how* she ages (whether she ages slowly like M'gann, or at the rate of a normal human like many characters in YJ, or doesn't age at all like Conner). With this in mind, though this may be considered a spoiler request, I would like to ask: what was her biological age when she joined the Team in Team Year Two?
Are the Beetle-tech drones designed by Blue or are they just similar in name?
Greg_Weisman
1.What is up with the one shot in 1x10 when Cheshire fights Red arrow and spinkicks him and flips back? because wow someone really made that and it really got on tv lol. Also People keep asking are they ever going to do a shot or scene like that again
2.its cool the animation is mostly the same as s1 and even on teen Titans but it updates the quality was that intentional or just it looks cool. Also how many seasons do you think will happen? Sorry for the long question
Hello Mr. Weisman,
What I love about Young Justice is the original organization of the Light. I am also I big Marvel fan so I was wondering what you thought would be a good lineup for a Marvel version of the group. I ask because I think the Cabal run by Norman Osborn is lacks the stability and effectiveness of Vandal Savage's organization. Thank you for reading this if you do.
Hi, Greg!
In anticipation of the new Dynamite Gargoyles comic, and because of the Paris clan's inclusion in YJ Targets, I tracked down a copy of "The Flashback of Notre Dame." It was a fun little read! I'm a big fan of both Chris's and your work, so it was cool to see your first (I think?) collaboration.
Just a couple questions:
1. Why was the Brooklyn analog named Monmarte? I'm admittedly not super familiar with New York or Paris, but I assume there's a parallel between the two, in the same way as Broadway and Montparnasse or Lexington Avenue and Champs Ãlysées.
2. Same question for Bronx and Rive Gauche.
3. Between Coldstone and Coldsteel, which corresponds to Cyrano and which to Christian?
4. Is the Paris clan less antagonistic than the Wyvern clan? It struck me as odd that Diabolique and Thomeheb were still part of the clan despite being named "Demonic" and identified as the evil twin, respectively.
5. What is the exact text of the Archmagus's spell, including the "man of silver kissing his betrothed on the last full moon of February" caveat? (Kidding, kidding... unless?)
One final thought: have you seen the recent film musical adaption of Cyrano de Bergerac starring Peter Dinklage? I liked it a lot, though admittedly i haven't read the original play.
Thanks again, and I can't wait to read the first new Gargoyles story since I discovered the series! WE LIVE AGAIN!
Dear Mr Weisman 1. How long has Fury served with the Infinitors and does she occasionally wear a baseball cap or newsgirl cap when not in costume or on duty ? 2. What does Angel o' day do for a living ?
In the Earth-16 universe, is Saturn Girl's race identified as Saturnian (assuming life somehow existed on Saturn in the 31st century) or Titanian (assuming they lived on Saturn's moon, Titan) in the 31st century?
In the Earth-16 universe, what are the names of Ursa's parents?
Did the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America ever encountered Vladimir Sokov/Red Lantern?
Is Joan Garrick's maiden name Williams?
Where is the Earth-16 version of Judy Garrick/The Boom; the daughter of Jay and Joan Garrick?
On the Earth-16 version of Krypton, was kryptonite poisoning (via green kryptonite) ever identified/acknowledged by Kryptonians as the "Green Plague"?
Mr. Weisman,
In Detective Comics 2022 Annual #1, it is revealed that Gotham City was originally known as "Gathome Settlement" during the 1700s. As such, is this also true in the Earth-16 universe as well?
At Conner and M'gann's wedding, Spoiler has been seen leaning on Robin. Does it mean they are a couple?
does the light still have the means to produce clones of ocean master? Even if they're no longer interested in doing that
Hello, Greg! Some more questions about the YJ character countback.
1. Are Blue Falcon and Dyno-Mutt fictional in the context of Earth-16?
2. Is Mayor Sackett's first name Bradford like in the comics?
3. Does Sackett go by Buck as in the comics?
4. What is Principal Sanchez's first name?
5. After some searching on the DC wiki, I found several character with the surname Sanchez, but none seem to be a good match to the principal. Is Principal Sanchez original to Earth-16?
Hey Greg!
I've been reading you and Cary's run on Captain Atom as of late, and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. However, it made me curious: how much input, if any, did you and Cary have on DC's initial plans for Armageddon 2001 (in which Captain Atom would become Monarch)?
Ben Shapiro defended Kanye at one point so following the logic you use to defend yourself that means Ye cant possibly be antisemitic right? Until Ye personally offended Shaprio of course, then all of a sudden he calls it out. Exploiting identity politics as a shield will only get you so far.
Regarding Orphan/Cassandra Wu-San, I was wondering if there was a reason you decided to write her in such a way that wouldnât allow her to eventually learn how to talk. On other earths/in various comic runs, she did eventually learn how to speak, since speech was deprived from her rather than forcibly taken (growing up in an environment without speech vs having her vocal cords removed), so I was curious why you decided to take such a different route with Cass.
I've been watching Spectacular Spider-Man again and I have a few questions relating to some pretty minor characters:
1) Do the various security personnel members that Tombstone employs have names? They're all so visually distinct that I figured they would but I can't find anything about it online.
2) What is Coach Smith's first name?
3) Was "Benny" meant to be the show's legally-secure version of/allusion to Ben Urich?
4) Similarly, there is a girl with pink hair in the background of various scenes set in Midtown High that reminds me of when Jessica Jones was Jewel. Was this an intentional visual nod to Jessica or am I just reading too much into things?
5) You've said that there are currently 782 characters within the world of Young Justice as of the end of Targets; do you have an exact number for how many characters there are within the world of Spectacular Spider-Man as of the end of season two?
Thank you for your time, and for your work on not just Spectacular Spider-Man, but Young Justice, Star Wars Rebels and Gargoyles too.
Please please bring Wally west back. Everyone loves that character and weâve been waiting for the return of him. I cannot stress that enough please bring him back. We want to see him back on the screen all grown up with his infamous red and white flash suit.
I know youâre probably sick of the religion discourse but Iâd like to throw in something that I feel like youâre missing. Weâre living in a time where fundamentalist religious minorities are taking over governments all over the world, from the US to Iran, Russia, Israel, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. people are struggling against extremist conservative regimes that use Judiasm, Chrisitianity, Islam, and Hinudism to justify their actions. While itâs not fair to blame the entire religion, reality is that people are increasingly turned off by organized religions being shoved down our throats. In America, there are inescapable Christian undertones in media and literature. People are for sure interested in exploring different identities in entertainment, including religious groups, but those shows require a narrow focus so the issues can be explored in depth. Or thereâs a way to weave these things into characters without focusing on it, like they did in Moon Knight. In a show like Young Justice, Iâm sorry but it comes off more like a preachy after school special. Itâs shallow. Iran just murdered a woman for a strand of hair sticking out of her hijab and killed hundreds more for protesting about it. At the same time, covered women are vulnerable to hate crimes in non-Muslim countries. No matter where they go, theyâre the ones suffering. If youâre going to dedicate an episode to talking about the hijab, you need to do a lot more to actually add something of value to the discussion.

1 Has lady Shiva ever replicated orphanâs training with anyone else or was she the only the subject?
2 was lady Shiva punished after her failure to get the justice league data and capture orphan?
3 does lady Shiva ever consider becoming head of the shadows or is she not interested in that kind of stuff?
4 has the league of shadows put a bounty on shadeâs head like cheshire?
Firstly, loved season 4. Especially Zatanna's arc.
I was very interested to see a little more about the Lords of Order and Chaos this season, and impressed by how Vandal essentially trapped the Chaos Lords by bringing up Darkseid.
Regarding the Lords, we see that they require an anchor to the physical world to affect it. Nabu has his helmet and possesses a host, whilst Klarion and Child have familiars.
1.) I was curious whether this is a pattern amongst the Lords. We've seen Klarion can choose an anchor when he's desperate. Are there those who align with Order that opt for a familiar instead?
2.) Klarion notes that the familiar chooses him, implying a mutual bond. He certainly seems attached to the idea of a cat as his familiar. Child on the other hand appears to act more strategically, choosing a diamond as her familiar. Is this a matter of preference? Klarion preferring a mutual bond with a living creature whilst Child was more practical in creating a diamond golem. Or do the Lords have different vessels suitable to their manifestation?
LaYou Greg made many young justice fans vary angry at you by having Garfield believe he causes Superboy to die which led Garfield to have Mentha health problems and instead of the other outsides getting black canary come help him instead they wanted Garfield to go on missions with them and this was led to Garfield breakup with Perdita when she arrives at the hub and then you show Superboy was not dead, So Garfield lost Peridia for a false reason. This is why so many fans are mad a at you MR. Greg.
Hello, Greg! Some questions about the YJ character countback, organized roughly from least to most spoilery.
1. Are Flex Mentallo and Brother Power's appearances on the comic Jaime is reading in 305 Away Mission?
2. Are they fictional in the context of Earth-16?
3. I can't find any reference to Bgztlqwar anywhere online. Is he/she/they/it an invention of the show?
4. Was Branwilla Kilowog's predecessor in the Green Lantern Corps?
Dear MR Wiesman 1. Does Harper Row work as an electrician at the H.H.D.W.P. like her comic couterpart did and does she also wear a baseball cap both at work and on occasion when not at work ? 2. what do Mr and Mrs Morzz do for a living on Mars? 3. When was the yellow martian order first founded ?
Did M'gann know that Dick was going to seek Conner's help in the 1st episode of season 3? Was she upset because she didn't want to get Conner involved in the Anti-Light business and felt guilt she was keeping him in the dark?
What's season 5 gonna be called? "Young Justice: Targets", "Young Justice: Doomsday", "Young Justice: Unjustified", "Young Justice: Unjust", "Young Justice: Justified", "Young Justice: Injustice", "Young Justice: Regime", "Young Justice: Insurgency", "Young Justice: Legion", "Young Justice: Bloodlines", "Young Justice: DarkSide", "Young Justice: WarWorld", "Young Justice: Darkness" or "Young Justice: Apocalypse"?
How does human Kryptonian mix breeding work? Superboy/Conner can't fly and doesn't have heat vision yet Superman/Clark's son, Jonny Kent can fly? Does human DNA suppress the same Kryptonian powers or just a random pair?
Can Superman fly/breath in space?
Can Superman fly/breath space?
Can Victor Stone/Cyborg fly using his jet repulsors?
I would like to invite you to my small but growing (2600 subscribers at the moment) YouTube channel, The Comics Cube, in which I interview a variety of comics creators. With Gargoyles coming back in comics form, I think it would be truly insightful to discuss. I've also interviewed some animation creators such as Dan Riba, Rob Pratt, Geoff Thorne, and Josie Campbell. Also, I'm a huge Gargoyles fan!
Thanks!
Why Greg did you choose to have as part of young justice comic targets story to have Garfield to still have video messages from Perdita on his phone to look at when Garfield is waiting at hub go with the other outsiders to rescue Perdita if you had no plan for Garfield and Perdita to back together as a couple again after the heroes rescue Perdita?
Hello and sorry,
I miscalculated something for this question [https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=28825]. On Avalon, six months would be roughly twelve years. According to you, if Ophelia laid an egg in 2008, and gargoyles carry the eggs in their bodies for six months before laying them, she would have been pregnant roughly since late 1995, early 1996.
If it is to remain that Ophelia and possibly other female gargoyles of the Avalon clan laid eggs in 2008, were they pregnant shortly before or after the archmage's attack?
Hello,
In that old answer [https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=1627] they meant that Ophelia would lay an egg in 2008. But the gargoyles are supposed to carry the eggs for six months before they lay it. Since six months on Avalon is roughly 14 years, she must have been pregnant since 1993 or 94. This means that she and possibly the other females were at risk during the Archmage's attack.
Should it stay with this setting or will something change?
Hi Greg,
I realize that you might be getting sick of clothing questions, but I've been wondering about this one for a while.
1. How do the Gargoyles acquire clothing in the clans who have appeared so far?
2. Does each clan have a different system for obtaining and/or making clothes? If so, what are they?
Why didn't Peridia not offer Garfield to restart dating each other after Garfield help save her from the kidnappers?
Why was Garfield to scared to call Perdita to apologize to her for breaking up with her and ask her to get back with him in a relationship shortly after he begin concealing meetings with black Canary?
During the time between young justice phantoms and young justice targets Why didn't beast boy not blame the outsiders and black canary for the loss of his dating couple relationship with Perdita and only blame himself for the breakup?
After young justice season 4 phantoms and before young justice comic targets events why did Tara not tell Perdita that Garfield regrets breakup with Perdita and missing Perdita?
Mr. Weisman,
Even though the Earth-16 version of Damian Wayne does NOT have his last name confirmed yet in-universe, I'm going to make an educated guess on his family tree. Please correct me if any of the following below are incorrect.
#1. Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul are Damian's parents.
#2. Kate Kane, Beth Kane (Kate's twin sister), and Bette Kane are Damian's first cousins, once removed.*
#3. Kate's and Beth's parents (Jacob and Gabrielle Kane) and Bette Kane's as-of-yet unnamed parents are Damian's great-uncles and great-aunts.*
#4. Ra's al Ghul and Melisande are Damian's maternal grandparents.
#5. Thomas and Martha Wayne are Damian's paternal grandparents.
*Would Damian's relationships with these family members be considered paternal from his point-of-view?
#1. Is Jane Nassour's maiden name Nelson?
#2. If the answer to question #1 is true, then what are the names of Kent Nelson's brother and sister-in-law?
#3. Is Khalid Nassour's full name "Khalid Kent Nassour," like in the comics ("Doctor Fate: The Blood Price")?
If Queen Perdita could use zeta tubes to travel before conner and M'gann and Garfield travel to mars for conner and M'gann mars wedding, then why did Perdita not use zeta tubes to go Hub to visit Garfield first week or second week after Garfield return to earth on a day she was down all her queen duties for that day?
Did Dick and Zatanna break up in 2013?
Why didn't Garfield ask Perdita to restart their dating relationship after she was reuse from her kidnapers by the heroes and i if he did why did she refuse?
Alot of young justice fans believe if season 5 was made
season 5 events would happen in 2030 when Superboy does his thing that inspire the formation of legion of superheroes in 31 century and in the last scene the episode bloodlines happy harbor is still a wasteland in 2056 and this remines fans of injustice comic superboy falls to shield beast boy from a nuclear expulsion and these young justice fans don't want a season 5 because the young justice fans believe you will kill beast boy off in young justice season 5. So, what is your response to the young justice fans about this?
I'm really fascinated by the ever-shifting geopolitics on display with Qurac and Bialya throughout the series; it's something you almost never get to see in superhero media and really adds to how lived-in the you and your creative team have built world feels, which is by far one of my favourite aspects of the show.
That all being said, I still have a few questions about it:
1) When did Queen Bee become the Queen of Bialya?
2) When was Rumaan Harjavti elected to serve as President of Qurac?
3) When was Rumaan assassinated?
4) When did Ali become a bodyguard for the Harjavti family?
5) Has Ali been given a surname and if so, what is it?
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Steel (John Henry Irons), is his origin story (especially his past as a brilliant weapons engineer) and his reasons for becoming a hero (especially if Superman inspired him in some way) the same as his mainstream DC Universe (Earth-0) counterpart? If not, then what are the key differences in John Henry Irons' history between the mainstream DC Universe (Earth-0) and the Young Justice animated universe (Earth-16)?
Did Garfield Logan did date queen Perdita in the history that Bart grew up knowing before Bart (Impulse) went back into time to 2016 and if so, did Garfield breakup with Perdita in that version of history that Impulse grew up knowing before he travels back in tine in episode bloodlines?
TRUE OR FALSE? The Earth-16 versions of Kate Kane's parents
#1. The names of Kate Kane's parents are Jacob Kane and Gabrielle Kane.
#2. Jacob Kane's nickname is "Jake" and Gabrielle Kane's nickname is "Gabi."
#3. Kate Kane's parents are soldiers in the United States Army.
#4. Jacob Kane is a member of the 3rd Special Forces Group.
#5. Gabrielle Kane is a member of the 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade.
#6. Jacob and Gabrielle Kane are Bruce Wayne's maternal uncle and aunt; respectively.
#7. Jacob and Gabrielle Kane are Bette Kane's paternal uncle and aunt; respectively.
#8. Gabrielle Kane (along with Kate's twin sister, Elizabeth "Beth" Kane) tragically died in a hostage situation when Kate was 12 years old; like in the comics.
#9. After the deaths of his Gabrielle and Beth, Jacob raised Kate all by himself.
#10. Jacob Kane never liked Thomas Wayne and blamed Thomas post-mortem for Martha's death; like in the comics (as depicted in the funeral flashback in "Detective Comics" issue #939).
If the Earth-16 version of Bette Kane does not become Flamebird or Hawkfire (like in the comics), then what are the chances that she could become Batgirl (considering no one has taken on the mantle in the Earth-16 universe ever since Barbara Gordon was paralyzed and became Oracle)?
After Garfield return to earth from mars Why didn't the time traveler Bart Allen not tell Garfield logan that conner was not dead before Perdita came visit Garfield at the hub?
What would you say to me wanting to reboot the gargoyles with a prequel and a basic first seaaon movie? Kind of like the newer star trek in a sense.
Why you Greg make the choice that as part of the young justice story that Garfield and Perdita would date one another if you intended to have couple dating relationship to end cause by Garfield wrong believing he cause Superboy die to only to show that conner was in the phantoms zone?
Why did you decide the young justice adult Garfield logan will be singe just like his adult dc comic version is?
What you Greg Weisman think about the young justice fans are upset with you to have as part of the plot of young justice phantoms to have beast boy believe he cause superboy to die on mars and that make beast boy to have depression problems which cause beast boy to break Perdita's heart to only show later in in phantoms conner is not dead later have Conner and m'gann get back together in the end of the season 4 but Perdita and beast boy do not get back to together at end of young justice phantoms season nor have beast and Perdita get back together in a dating relationship at the end of issue 6 of young justice comic targets?
Is Juan Cordero supposed to be the Earth-16 equivalent of John Corben, OR does John Corben also exists in the Earth-16 universe but has NOT yet become Metallo?
Mr. Greg why did you choose to make the young justice comic story targets?
Greg why did HBOMAX choose to not renew young justice for season 5?
What DOES it mean in the logline of young justice comic targets issue 6 that issue 6 has a hear wrenching ending despite Perdita is recued at the end?
in image after queen bee left did mgann get a chance to talk to garfield (did he wake up)
What do I have to do to get you on my podcast?
Mr. Weisman,
I've read through all 6 issues of "Young Justice: Targets." Thank you for giving us this series. I hope that more "Young Justice" stories come out in comics at some point in the near future... since... you know... until Season 5 comes out...
Do you plan on making Young Justice season five in comic form if you donât get another season? Iâve been a huge fan of the show and I want to see how it continues.
Was casting Yuri Lowenthal as Icicle Jr. in any way influenced by him voicing Iceman in Wolverine and the X-Men a year prior to Young Justice, or was it just sheer coincidence?
If a member of the Third race is in the basking in gluttony and they accidentally eat or take a bite of something with iron.Do they die instantly or get sick?
Congratulations on getting Gargoyles to continue in comic book form I can't wait!!!!I miss these characters.
This is a Gargoyles question I have been thinking about asking for years and in light of its upcoming return (which I will be buying as a matter of urgency) feels appropriate to ask now:
The vast majority of human style magic (aka the sort we see used by mortal practitioners such as the Magus, the Archmage & ironically enough Demona) is described as requiring training to perform; the Magus mentions his training and Demona serves as the Arch age's apprentice. At one point Xanatos directly dismisses the idea of trying to use the Grimorrum to counter Demona because he is not a trained sorcerer himself, which to me at least, suggests merely having the spellbook and speaking the words are not enough to produce magic.
I am therefore writing to ask if there is any set in-universe list of things any would be sorcerer needs to learn before those words have real power (if its a spoiler to say what that list is that's fine, I'm just curious if there is one)?
Is klarion's and child's relationship the worst among all of the relationships between chaos lords?
In young justice universe did beast boy knew superman is Clark Kent before beast boy join the team or by the time of season 2 or season 3?
Have Superman and Supergirl met before?
If Cassandra Savage is Earth-16's adaptation of Scandal, does that mean that her mother is Brazilian like in the comics? If so, naming her Cassandra makes a lot of sense, since this name does exist in Portuguese language.
Hello Mr Weisman Look I know that Nightwing and Zatanna are together, I see the signs but could you give us a clue they broke up in the first place, it's ok if you can't answer just want to know
Both in and out of universe, what was the reason for the Terror Twins' design change, namely why did Tommy go from looking like Superboy to having the physique of Bane or Mammoth? It's a pretty radical change, especially when compared to Tuppence, who mostly just lost the ponytail, so I'm curious as to why you decided on it.
Also, are the Terror Twins Metahumans (In the sense that they have active Metagenes)?
Mr. Weisman,
I came across this link on the internet provided here below.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_dynasty
Aside from all the Kryptonians that have already been mentioned/seen on "Young Justice," I want to know first which Kryptonians from the House of El, House of Van, and House of Ze mentioned in the link above also exist in the Earth-16 universe; even though they have been mentioned/seen yet? Secondly, after you are able to confirm which members do exist in Earth-16 universe, I want to know what are each Kryptonian's relationship to Kal-El, Kara Zor-El, and Kru-El; that means in terms of paternal and maternal relationships? The reason I am asking these questions to you because I am trying to figure out the Kryptonian family tree in the Earth-16 universe; in comparison to other versions in the DC Comics multiverse.
Thank you for taking the time to answering my questions whenever you can and to the best of your ability. :)
Does the league of shadows have other special positions like sensei of the shadows?
1) There are other canon adjacent products set in earth-16 aside from DC showcase Green Arrow, Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Catwoman: Hunnted?
2) If yes and if it's possible to know, which ones?
3) Are the Green Lantern: The Animated Series tie-in comics canon adjacent too?
4) What is the timeframe where is the storyline of Catwoman: Hunted set? (Year/Month/Day-Year/Month/Day)
Thx for your future answer.
Was there any pushback to you changing the ending of the Judas Contract when adapting it during Outsiders, or was everyone pretty much on board with doing a new spin on the storyline? I personally think what you did with Tara and Brion was brilliant, and that scene in Nevermore is probably my favorite in the entire series.
Can you describe what M'gann's "bad days" were like in season 4 after she got back to Earth?
Since "Catwoman: Hunted" is canon-adjacent in the Earth-16 universe...
#1. How old is Julia Pennyworth as of 2020?
#2. How old is Catwoman/Selina Kyle as of 2020?
#3. Do Batman and his proteges know who Julia Pennyworth is and that she is Alfred's daughter?
Since "Young Justice: Targets" finally introduced Merlyn to the Earth-16 universe...
#1. What year was he born?
#2. What year did he became an assassin?
#3. Is his real name Arthur King or Malcolm Merlyn?
#4. Has he ever been identified as the Dark Archer?
#5. When did he first encountered Oliver Queen/Green Arrow?
#6. When were the exact dates of the 16 duels that he won against Green Arrow?
During Season 1, where did Kaldur live? From what we got in âDowntimeâ, he clearly wasnât living in Atlantis. It was never mentioned that he lived in the cave. In âWelcome to Happy Harborâ Mâgann only mentioned herself and Superboy as living there.
Why did the person seen the google glass to Perdida in episode nightmare monkeys in young justice outsiders and if was because the person wants her to put the google glass on then why did the person what Perdida put google glasses on?
Before the breakup How did Green Arrow feel about the fact Garfield and Perdita were dating?
Why did queen Perdita go to conner and m'gann's wedding without her bodyguards in the last episode of young justice phantoms? Why was she allowed to go to the wedding without her bodyguards?
Is Cadmus a 501c3 on Earth-16? Though we know a lot of their work behind the scenes is anything but charitable, on the surface it seems like they could easily portray themselves as dedicated to the advancement of science or education, as the IRS defines it.
Hello again Mr. Weisman! Nice to see you're allowing questions to be asked again! And let me just start by saying that I Think Your Stuff is Great, Always Did! And I Can't wait to see the New Gargoyles Comics that are Coming out!
And Now here's my new Question if you don't mind
Since John Castaway is Really Jon Canmore and He KNOWS that Xanatos Brought Goliath and his Clan to to New York to Begin with, is it safe to say that Castaway Finds Xanatos Responsible for the labeled "Gargoyle Problem" of New York?
And if So, is it also safe to say that If Castaway Did somehow succeed in Destroying the Manhattan Clan, he would go after Xanatos for Bringing them to New York?
If the Question's considered a Spoiler, it's Not Intended!
Now that James Gunn is at the helm of DC studios, can you negotiate a renewal for Young Justice? Please do at least one more season to cover the Earth vs Apokolips arc you have been building towards. I'm sure a like minded creative like James Gunn will see the prospects of this renewal. Please.
The Mars arc speech seemed to be loosely inspired by the civil rights movement and the I Have a Dream speech. Is that the case? Iâd love your take on these lesser known MLK quotes -
~ Most whites in America, even those of goodwill, proceed from the premise that equality is a loose expression for improvement. White America is not even psychologically organized to close the gap â" essentially, it seeks only to make it less painful and less obvious but in most respects retain it.~
~ Our white liberal friends cried out in horror and dismay: âYou are creating hatred and hostility in the white communities in which you are marching. You are only developing a white backlash,ââ he wrote. âAs long as the struggle was down in Alabama and Mississippi, they could look afar and think about it and say how terrible people are. When they discovered brotherhood had to be a reality in Chicago and that brotherhood extended to next door, then those latent hostilities came out.~
Basically, heâs talking about the hypocrisy of performative white liberals who welcomed his easily digestible messages of peace but turned hostile when he pointed out the racism within themselves and their communities. He has written that this type of white is more dangerous than the overtly hateful ones, because they dilute his message and offer nothing but empty words. I think itâs similar to what people are trying and failing to explain to you when it comes to the way youâve portrayed certain minority groups in this show.
Thoughts?
What are the odds of Disney+ reviving Gargoyles or The Spectacular SpiderMan?
Behind Superman, is Superboy the strongest hero in terms of physical strength after Season 2?
Dear Mr Weisman You have sead in the past that Green lantern tas is Young justice adjacent so i would like to ask the fallowing questions 1. Is Carol Farris C. e. o. of Ferris Aircraft like in the comics and Green lantern cartoon and does she occasionally wear a baseball cap or newsgirl cap both at work and during any informal events when she isn't busy at her second job? (In pink with a ring if you know what i mean) 2. How old is Mogo and how long has he been a Green lantern? 3.is the Anti monitor dead in universe 16?
Is Black Adam's origin story the same as in the comics? Does he posses SHAZAM powers like Strength of Hercules, Stamina of Atlas, Power of Zeus, Courage of Achilles & Speed of Mercury?
After the events of episode Image but before queen bee killed marie logan how many times did miss martian visit the logans?
If Disney approached you about doing a reboot of Gargoyles based on your original more comedic pitch for the series, albeit this time retaining some more serious elements to bring it more in line with Disney's current animated shows like Amphibia and the Owl House, would you do it?
What means of travel did garfield logan use to travel to the location were doom patrol members die? What means of travel did garfield logan use to travel to go visit m'gann during the years when Rita Farr was a member of the doom patrol ?
Are Phantom Stranger or Khalid even told Zatanna the cost of her love proposal that indirectly causing massive casualties on the whole Earth. It's look like could be a great explore of Zatanna guilts altough I could see Phantom Stranger want to maintain Zatanna good fighting spirit by keeping it secret and not make her drown in guilt feelings
1 When choosing a new member of the light besides having a large sphere of influence are there any specific qualifications for them to join the light?
2 Has there ever been a time when multiple candidates for vacant light seat were considered?
Is black manta considered an enemy now to the light after the damage his son did during the summit?
Hello, I once asked which Japanese island Ishimura is on and you said you didn't know. After thorough research, it should be Honshu. Yama was able to get to Tokyo after his exile. Vinnie Grigori also wanted to get to Ishimura from Tokyo. Vinnie got his plane ticket from Taro, didn't he? Does it also mean that Ishimura is close to Tokyo? Do you agree or do you think differently?
Hi Greg! I was wondering if ya thought about expanded the YJ universe in different ways, such as tie in audio stories like Batman Unburied on Spotify or like a movie? Thank you and I hope ya is doing well!
1. Did the group Justice Experience exist during the 70âs on Earth 16?
2. Did the original 7 members of the Justice League knew each other secret ids shortly after fighting the alien invasion?
3. Was Lex Luther born from money or was he a self-made man on Earth 16?
Hey Greg I have a few questions
1. Can Blue devil cast spells like zatanna and other magic users?
2. If he can what language does he say it in?
3. What were Rose Psychic powers
4. Would transgender woman be welcome on themyscira?
5. Every season has a "big bad villain(s)" that furthers the overall story to the fight between earth and apokolips was there one during the 5 year time skip? not including brainiac
So I get that it's a complicated mess as to who owns the rights to the Spectacular Spider-Man tv show, so I understand if you are unable to answer this - but given the fact the first season is now on Disney Plus could fans take it as a sign Disney now outright owns the series? I suppose it could be an expansion upon the agreement that allowed Spidey to be in the MCU, but at the same time there still aren't any stand alone Hulk movies on the service. So, small hope for season 3, or am I reading too much into it?
1. In the Earth-16 version of Krypton, were females fated to marry men that were deemed genetically fit to carry their offspring? If true, would that be considered the Kryptonian equivalent of an arranged marriage on Earth?
2. In the Earth-16 version of Krypton, was the House of Zod considered to be a prominent Kryptonian family that was closely linked to the Kryptonian military?
3. In the Earth-16 version of Krypton, was the House of El considered to be one of the noble ruling families on the planet?
Hello Mr. Weisman,
When responding to criticism on representation of minorities on Young Justice, I have seen you repeatedly say that you should be able to do whatever you want. But do you understand that your content does not exist in a vacuum? Media is an incredibly powerful tool to spread propaganda and stereotypes that lead to real world consequences that affect real life minorities - thatâs why we get so upset about it. Some examples: vilification of Arabs and Muslims in media and news has desensitized Westerners to killing thousands of innocents in the Middle East, associating immigrants with crime leads to people voting for candidates with more extreme positions against them, and the widespread belief that bisexuals are promiscuous and unfaithful makes them the most vulnerable group to domestic violence. All three of these stereotypes have played a part in your show. It is not something writers do on purpose, this is how implicit bias works, but I find your responses over the years troubling to say the least. At the end of the day, youâre not the one who has to deal with those real world consequences, so you may have trouble seeing the connections. I think itâs okay to say you donât understand where someone is coming from because your life experiences are so different. The way youâve been behaving makes me very sad because I used to admire you, but I can no longer support the content you make.
Hi Greg, I gotta say the spectacular Spider-Man was my favorite and probably only animated series. My question is while writing the episode where Peter is exposed as spidy but then able to cover it up, did you thought about having each character in the show finding out his secret in their own or were you thinking about doing a big reveal leading to the last episode of the series had it continue going towards five seasons or were you just going to keep his identity a secret.
Why didn't Bart Allen return to the year 2056 at the end of Phantoms? The reason he didn't return in Invasion was because his time machine didn't work. He just missed an opportunity by hitching a ride with the Legion of Super-Heroes in their Time-Sphere.
Was Darkseid's uncle, Steppenwolf the other tyrant who ousted Mongul from his dictatorship on his home planet, Warworld?
WHY DID YOU say YOU FOLLOW WERE THE CHARCTOR LEADES YOU DESPISE YOU LET YOUNG JUSTICE TARA LIVE BESPITE THE DC COMIC TARA DUE HER CONTACT WITH THE VILLION SLADE LEADS TO HER DEATH?
When we get shots of Chaos Lords and Lords of Order in their true form on screen, they are obviously all different sizes, with some being drastically bigger and/or smaller than others. Why so?
did you know that in islam the soul canât be free until the body is buried, so haloâs very existence is a grossly disrespectful violation of âgabrielleâsâ body and thereâs no way her family would be okay with it? of course you didnât lol you couldnât even do the bare minimum of giving her a muslim or even just an arabic name lmfao. and i know you think thatâs not a big deal but if you knew anything about muslims youâd know that our names are a very important part of our cultures. idk maybe try talking to more than one singular brown person before making a character next time?
Does Zatanna's magically gifted cousin, Zackary Zatara, exist in YJ? I think he would be an interesting addition to Zatanna's Sentinels of Magic?
Did Zatanna's mother have any magical connections? Why did you portray her as a mundane humanity?
In the comics, her mother was a homo-magi and it was implied she was much more powerful than her husband, Zatara. I think this would have been an interesting storyline with Zatanna finding out her mother had 'secrets'.
1. Since the power rings on Earth-16 have no weakness to wood or yellow how do supervillains fight Green Lanterns?
2. Did the JSA fight street crime or did they mainly fight Nazis?
3. Did the Axis Powers use mystic items like the Spear of Destiny to prevent the JSA from ending the War early or did they have they own super-agents to keep the war more or less even instead?
4. What was the JSA headquarters location was it different from the All-Star Squardon headquarters location?
5. Did Raâs Al Ghul came up with ideas for members of the Light or did Vandal Savage already had his list when he talked to Raâs?
When Garfield lived with Rita Farr in 2011 did Garfield Logan attended a school? This is before his skin turn green in 2012 of young justice timeline.
1. In YJ, how do figure out WHEN youâre going to introduce a character to the show (not asking for an exact science). For example, since Arrowette, Wonder Girl, and Robin are all roughly the same age, how did you decide that Arrowette would be introduced in Season 3 while Robin and Wonder Girl would be introduced in season 2?
2. Did you ever consider not doing a time travel story in season 2 and simply having the heroes defeat the Reach the first time around without help from Bart?
3. If DC ever gives you the chance to write more comics, would you consider telling more stories that happened in between the seasons, or would you prefer to progress the storyline further?
Did beast boy ever serve as miss martian's sidekick when ritia farr was alive or when GarfieldLIVE AT THE CAVE?
Why did you have Garfield lOGAN fall in love with peridia if you did not intend for them stay together in relationship for rest of the young justice story line?
What is the place that Garfield stays at when Garfield stays Miss Martian when Rita Farr does not let Garfield to go on doom patrol missions?
Are the White martians the ancestors of CHAMELEON BOY'S
race in young justice universe?
Why did you Mr Greg decide to end Garfield and Perdita relationship?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, is Seyg-El the father of Jor-El and Zor-El, and the paternal grandfather of Kal-El and Kara Zor-El?
Does any martian animal species have longer lifespans than humans?
This after Garfield learn to shapeshift into animals. During the times when Gaffield was visiting M'gann why didn't M'gann not let Garfield go on missions with her on the team when Rita did not let Garfield logan go on missions with the doom patrol?
Why didn't M'gann offer Garfield to join the team after Garfield learning to control his power to change into animals and if she did offer why didn't Rita not allow it, or not trust miss martian with Garfield's safety?
Hi, Greg!
Since Wonder Woman and Troia are both princesses of Themiscyra, and Wonder Woman does not appear to have aged (at least not very much) over time in Young Justice (across the four seasons of the show), I have to wonder if the Amazons age very slowly physically (or do not physically age at all), even when they are away from Themiscyra. This leads me to my first question.
1) Given that Troia may be ageing slowly (or not at all), and that she is biologically 20 years old in season 3 in Team Year Nine, was she ALSO biologically 20 years old when she joined the Team in Team Year Two?
2) Another quick question. We have not seen Troia and Cassie interact in Young Justice, but would you please be able to confirm what kind of relationship they have -- do they get along? (I'm not looking for a detailed answer here as I know that that would be too spoilery.)
Why does queen peridia have a scare on her neck in young justice season 4 and in young justice comic book targets?
Regarding Young Justice: Targets #5
1. How old is Juan Cordero?
2. When did Juan Cordero find out he was a metahuman?
3. When did Lex Luthor find Juan Cordero's mother a job at Lexcorp and put his sisters in the best schools?
4. When did Lex Luthor show Juan Cordero Match?
5. When did Juan Cordero volunteer himself to Lex Luthor, right after the events of the UN press conference on February 17 Team Year Nine or later in Team Year Nine?
PREDICTION: The Earth-16 version of Terrence "Terry" McGinnis will likely exist as a result of the Light's attempt to create a clone of Bruce Wayne; however, an exact clone will NOT work because it will have Bruce's psychological trauma that stems from witnessing the death of his parents. As such, the Earth-16 version of Terry will likely be a partial clone/half-clone of Bruce Wayne.
What do you MR GREG say about the fans viewing Garfield losing his girlfriend peridia do to depression believing he (Garfield) cause Superboy to die on mars and not letting Garfield get back with his girlfriend Perdita in the issue 6 comic series targets is not fair to Garfield?
How old is Razer in Young Justice: Phantoms?
I heard somewhere he was (his species equivalent of) 19-years-old in GL:TAS, but it that true with Young Justice?
Mr. Weisman,
With the Gargoyles comics coming back, are the new comics considered to be your Season 4?
Hey Greg, i have few questions about tula, rocket, and bumblebee.
1. Is she black? i know she would be technically consider an atlantean but Aqualad is too but he is clearly black.She is also voice by a black woman, i know that doesn't mean much but most times in young justice you have black va voicing black characters.
2. Did she did her hero name from aqualad or was he the inspiration?
3. Have you ever thought about giving rocket additions powers besides flight and creating force bubbles?
4. How did bumblebee meet atom?
5. If rocket belt breaks or malfunctions is there another one on Icons spaceship or does he know how to fix it?
In the Kaldur arc of Young Justice: Phantoms, do you consider the fake Arion to be a clone of the real one with Ocean Master's memories, or the consciousness of the real Ocean Master in a clone of Arion's body?
I ask because their are different interpretations on different sites: Young Justice Wiki says the former, TV Tropes says the latter. I would just like to set the record straight.
I have always loved your view of "canon adjacent" material to Young Justice: things like Catwoman: Hunted and, especially, Green Lantern: TAS.
Are their any other canon adjacent stuff to Young Justice that you could tell us about, or is that either spoilers or just something that happens depending on the current plot?
Are their hundreds or thousands or millions of active meta gene metahumans on earth by the time of young justice season 4?
Greg did you plan for Garfield would be single like his dc comic version instead of Garfield's relationship with Perdita not in a breakup or Garfield and Perdita getting back together in comic story targets?
Before queen peridia came to see Garfield at the hub to see Garfield why Tara didn't tell black canary about Garfield's behavior at the hub since return to earth because Tara should have known what was wrong with Garfield because Tara lost loved ones too?
Sometime after Superboy and Miss Martian's wedding why didn't Tara not try to convince Perdita to give Garfield another change to be with Perdita because Tara knew Garfield still love Perdita and didn't mean to say those things to Perdita that broke Perdita heart and might know what happen to Garfield on mars by the time of the wedding on earth?
Why does Garfield choose to lead the outsiders again after the outsiders's actions of not getting black canary to help him with his mental health issues witch lead to Garfield to lose his relationship with Perdita?
Greg why did you decide that Garfield would still have Perdita's messages on his phone by the time he is about to go with the other outsiders to rescue in comic book story if you Greg did not intend for Garfield and peridia in a dating relationship by end of issue 6 of young justice comic book story targets?
NO THIER ARE MANY FANS ASKING QUEST ABOUT GARFIELD AND PERDITIA. i like the questions.
In justice comic story targets does beast boy choose keep queen Perdita's video messages to Garfield logan on Garfield's phone by the time of the beginning of outsiders' mission at hub to begin the rescue of Perdita because he hopes to get back together with peridia some day in a dating relationship in the future and if not, then why does beast boy still have her video messages on his phone as the outsiders are about to leave the outsiders base call the Hub to recue Perdita in young justice come story targets?
Please stop asking so many questions about Garfield and Perdita. Everyone can tell itâs just one person asking about them constantly (yes, even though you keep changing your name). Theyâre not getting back together no matter how many questions you ask. Clinging onto dead relationships is unhealthy, especially when theyâre not yours. Their FICTIONAL relationship is over, move on. Youâre one of the reasons why Greg has taken a break from answering questions. Do you think he wants to answer NINE questions about them in a row? Move on.
Why was decide as part of the plot of young justice story that Garfield logan would remain single and not let Garfield get back together with peridia at the end of young justice comic targets story?
why did m'gann's green martian sister go back to mars after the end of season 4 of young justice?
Why does Garfield Logan not blame at conner for his loss of his relationship with peridia because if conner had got recharge with yellow sone light like Garfield told he should on mars conner may not ended up in phamotom zone and Garfield would not become depressed believing Garfield cause conner to die?
By the end of young justice phantoms why did Garfield still viewed the outsiders as his friends after they did not get black canary to help Garfield with his depression problems before Perdita arrived at the hub to see Garfield?
Why was it part of the plan of young justice story that Garfield to lose his relationship with queen peridia over his depression believing he cause conner's death even though conner was not death was reunited with m'gann at the end young justice season 4?
Greg how do you fell about the fans of young justice not liking that you and staff had as part of the young justice story to have Garfield and Perdida breakup in young justice phantoms and not get back together in young justice come story targets?
If any of the outsiders or blue devil told black canary about Garfield behavior at the hub after return to earth from mars and got black Canary council Garfield before peridia came to see Garfield at the hub their break may not have happen, but the outsiders and blue devil did not try to get black canary to council before Perdita arrive at the hub so why does Garfield still view outsiders his friends by the end of young justice phantoms?
Why did superboy and m'gann think they should not try to convince Perdita to give Garfield another chance be with perditia after the breakup sometime after m'gann and conner's wedding?
Why did beast boy still messages from Perdita on his phone at the beginning of young justice comic book story targets if beast boy did not believe he would get back together in a dating relationship with Perdita at some point in the future?
Dear Mr Weisman before i ask my questions i want to apologize for a selling error in my previous post i meant to say newsgirl but forgot the s by mistake now for the questions 1. Who was Mary Bromfield's best friend during her time with the team ? 2. Did you ever consider Zehra Fazal for the role of Soranik Natu before giving the role to Vanessa Marshall instead? 3. IS the Song that Forager and P.f. (female Forager) sing to Jay Garrick on his Birthday traditional among Bug ''Hatchday'' songs or did they make it up on the spot?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. How long has Trajectory served as second in command of the Infinitors and does she occasinally wear a baseball cap or new girl cap when not in costume or on duty? 2. Does Lizard John (i know his real name but John sounds more mature to me) have toxic bacteria in his mouth like a Komodo dragon or venom like a Gila Monster ?
What episode script was the most fun writing?
Why did Garfield still view outsiders as his at the end of young justice season 4 after the outsiders didn't black canary to help Garfield with his problems before Perdita came to see Garfield at the hub early on in the fourth season?
Greg why is part of the plan for the story of young justice Garfield to fall in love with peridia if you had not plan for Garfield to married Perdita but instead have them breakup and not get back together late on in the story of young justice?
Hey Greg,
I was wondering if you and the rest of the Young Justice crew were open to ideas for new characters for the next season.
If you are, I actually have some ideas if you are interested.
Why did m'gann and conner not try convince queen Perdita to give Garfield a second chance to be with Perdita after conner learn of the breakup of Garfield and Perdita or sometime after conner and m'gann's wedding on earth?
Did Superboy feel responsible for Garfield and Perdita breakup after he hear of it and if not why not?
Hello Mr Weisman,
I hope you have been having a good week.
First off I would like to thank you and your whole team for bringing Young Justice to life. YJ has been a huge bright spot in my life, especially in a time where there were not many bright spots to go around. I look forward to any more stories from Earth 16 we may get, in whatever form that may be.
As for my question, I was wondering if you have ever tossed around the idea of doing an Earth 16 guide book or art book? I find the behind the scenes of show making and design very fascinating, and it would be very cool for there to be a printed book where the fandom could get a look at the process that you and your team put in to create the show visually and story wise.
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions on here!
Hey Greg! Your stories/TV shows are super awesome :) They've inspired me to start writing in my own way again, even if it puts others off. It's a style that I feel comfortable with and, if people don't like, they don't have to read.
Thank you for inspiring me with your work! You're amazing ;)
Hi Mr. Greg,
Thank you for your work/contribution to the whole that is YJ! Have some questions as well as this is Ask Greg site-
1. Can you reveal what Impulse and Flash were saying speedtalking or at least what about funnel cakes (if Kid Flash was correct)?
1a. Does this hint to Kid Flash (Wally West) being about 1/5 Flash/Impulse's speed at the time of their conversation since he got about every fifth word?
2. Did the clone body of Arion have water breathing added by the Light since the original Arion's metagene was longevity? Or was he using his magic to survive?
3. Could Vandal Savage survive in the vacuum of space? Or would he pass out and then as soon as his body was exposed to oxygen he would awaken? Would it be the same if he was trapped submerged in water or would his body adapt and grow gills?
Thanks again!
Hey Greg quick question about spectacular Spider-Man is spider Gwen had come out before your show would you have incorporated that into your version of Gwen Stacy because I think that has become the main inspiration for all future versions of the character
Disregard my last question. Thank you
Question 1 Why Greg was it decided as part of the young justice story that Garfield would lose his relationship with Perdita over his depression believing Garfield caused conner to die when conner was not dead? Question 2 Why was it decided to have as part of young justice comic story targets story to have Garfield one of the heroes to rescue Perdita if you and your staff did not intend for Garfield to get back together in relationship with Queen Perdita at the end of issue 6 of young justice comic targets story target?
Is there an out-of-universe reason why a lot of Team members go inactive while many Justice Leaguers donât? Off the top of my head characters former Team members like Troia, Garth, Karen, Mal, Freddy, Mary, etc have left the hero life, while only two Leaguers, Will and Orin, have left (and Orin later returned), even though the League was founded years earlier.
If I give you my right arm will you give Puck his powers back???
So he doesnât die locked in Owen in the 2198 timeline or whatever that was ? I will literally do anything for Puck to get his powers back. You donât know what this means to me.
After the season 4 finale of Young Justice...
1. Does Dru-Zod now see Superboy as his archenemy?
2. Does Ursa now see Miss Martian as her archenemy?
In the Earth-16 universe, did Kate Kane attended the United States Military Academy (also known metonymically as West Point or simply as Army) in West Point, New York? Also, during that time, was she in a secret romantic relationship with her roommate, Sophie Moore? Finally, was Kate expelled from the academy after she was anonymously outed as a lesbian?
Supermartian on the topic of kids/being parents
1. What would happen if M'gann and Conner had a child together? How would that work?
2. Would M'gann be able to give birth the typical way of human or a martian?
3. Can they even have kids since martian produce differently than humans?
4. Have they ever discussed having kids, wanting them or being parents themselves?
5. How would you see Conner and M'gann as parents?
Dear Mr Weisman After Forager gave his high school graduation speech did Halio and Harper Row both through off there graduation hats while cheering and before congradulating him on his speech ?
I've got some questions about martian shapeshifiting, mostly how do their bodies adapt and can they function as normal humans and gain their qualities.
For example whenever, M'gann, J'onn or Em'ree are in their human forms, can they hear like a human? can they go to the toilet like a human? and more importantly for the females, can they get pregnant whilst in their human forms or not?
In YJ: Targets issue 4, Oliverâs hospital tag shows his date of birth, and from what I could pick up, itâs May 16th. Is that correct?
Hi Mr. Wiseman, I hope youâre having a good day and wouldnât mind answering some questions?
1. How many Earth days was a year on Krypton before its destruction?
2. How many hours was a day on Krypton before its destruction?
3. How old was Rao when it exploded?
4. How many light-years was Krypton to Earth?
5. What was the population of Krypton before its destruction?
6. Are devourers originally from the Phantom Zone, or were they put in there?
7. Is the name of the Kryptonian language (the one spoken by Lor-Zod) called Kryptonese?
8. What type of god was Rao revered as?
9. Was the name of said religion Raoism?
10. When did Lois Lane and Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman marry?
11. When did Lois find out Clarkâs secret about him being Superman?
Considering that Kyle Rayner is the fourth human to become a Green Lantern in the comics, does that mean he is the fourth Green Lantern in the Earth-16 universe mentioned by Orin to have joined the Justice League in Season 4 of Young Justice; even though Kyle Rayner hasn't actually been mentioned by name yet?
Just want to start off by saying that I LOVE Young Justice. There was a time in my life where it helped me out of a dark place.
1.) So, according to a couple of articles online, HBO Max has NOT renewed for any more seasons... Does that mean that YJ has been cancelled again or will it be making it's way to a different platform?
2.) Are Eduardo and Bart canonically gay or is that just fan theory? I have read things where they are and other where people say they're not... I figured asking you directly would be best so there is no confusion.
3.) Have you ever read any of the YJ fanfiction?
#1. In the Earth-16 universe, does the Soultaker katana does exactly what it is named for; taking the souls of those that have been killed by it?
#2. How and when exactly did Lady Shiva learned about the Soultaker katana? Her conversation during her fight against Katana (Tatsu Yamashiro) implies that she wanted the weapon in her possession for a very long time.
Hello Mr. Weisman, long time fan of your work I just wanted to say first off.
My actual question is that since Gargoyles existed in all the other parts of the British isles, with Scotland seeming to have a particularly large number of clans, would the just as mountainous Wales have had a large Gargoyle population once with multiple clans living there? I just remember you saying Gargoyles preferred high cliffs and mountains and Wales sounded like it would have been a perfect place for a large Gargoyle population before humans got them.
What do you think of Edgar Allan Poe?
Hey Greg, i know this doesnât necessarily only apply to the YJ show as it also applies to the comics and to Marvel, but what is the Earth-16 in-universe explanation for how the Justice League/superheroes seem to have the technological capability of travelling interstellar distances across the Milky Way Galaxy but regular humans/Earth governments/space agencies seem to be in the same place technologically as we are in real life when it comes to space travel and exploration? i noticed that in the first episode of Season 4 we saw a glimpse of the Curiosity rover on Mars, which is actually what led me to ask this question. why arenât there already human colonies on Mars or on other celestial bodies in the solar system or even outside the solar system when humanity on Earth-16 clearly seem to have the technology that would allow them to do so?
of course this is assuming that Earthâs governments and space agencies on Earth-16 are in the same position technologically as us in real life but if thatâs genuinely the case, then why is that compared to the Justice League/superhero community?
To clarify, Iâm not asking about specific dates.
1. Was Kaldur ever in the closet, or are sexualities other than heterosexuality considered so natural/accepted in Atlantean society that he was never in the closet at all when he was younger?
2a. Was Ed ever in the closet?
2b. Was Harper Rowe ever in the closet
3. For the character you canât specify as gay, were they in the closet when they joined the team?
4. As you probably already know, Tim came out as bisexual in the comics, but Iâm guessing that wasnât part of your initial plan for him when you created the show. Do you consider Tim bi now on Earth-16 (since it also doesnât affect his relationships with Cassie and Steph)?
5. Thank you for including diversity (LGBTQ and otherwise) into the show! Many of us really appreciate it!
1. Why did Garfield and Superman leave Mars and not stay to help investigate Superboy's death or at the least confront M'comm since at the time, everyone believed he was to blame for Superboy's death?
2. Was there any reasons for their departure?
3. How long did they stay on Mars before returning home to Earth?
4. Why did they not stay to further comfort M'gann in light of the fact she just lost her fiance?
1) Is Black Mary able to transform back into her normal human form (assuming that she has a choice and is not being prevented from doing so by others like Granny Goodness), or is she now stuck in this form?
2) Hypothetical question now so I imagine you might not answer, but I'll try anyway. If Black Mary were to transform back into Mary Bromfield and then say "Shazam!" *after* that, would Mary have a choice (or any control whatsoever) regarding whether she would end up in her Black Mary form or her white Sergeant Marvel form? Basically I'm asking whether Mary could choose (*by herself*) to take the white costume form over the black costume form, or vice versa.
(If the answer to question 2 is yes and Mary *could* make this decision somehow inherently, I imagine that there would possibly be criteria such as her state of mind (i.e. whether she intends to do good or do evil), but I don't want to get into her state of mind as I don't want to overcomplicate the above questions.)
#1. Is it more accurate to say that Kal-El and Kara Zor-El are identified as paternal cousins OR paternal first cousins?
#2. Would Lois Lane be identified as Kara's paternal cousin-in-law?
#3. Would Jonny Kent be identified as Kara's paternal first cousin once removed?
#4. Would Kon-El be identified as Kara's paternal genetic cousin; given that Kon-El is the half-clone of Kal-El?
If Jor-El and Zor-El are truly Kru-El's paternal cousins in the Earth-16 universe, then would that mean that Kal-El and Kara Zor-El are Kru-El's paternal second cousins?
TRUE OR FALSE?
#1. Lara El's father, Lor-Van, is the maternal grandfather of Kal-El and the paternal great-uncle of Kara Zor-El.
#2. Alura El's father, In-Ze, is the maternal grandfather of Kara Zor-El and the paternal great-uncle of Kal-El.
#3. Alura El is the mother of Kara Zor-El and the paternal aunt of Kal-El.
#4. Prior to her marriage to Jor-El, Lara El's unmarried name was Lara Lor-Van. Likewise, prior to her marriage to Zor-El, Alura El's unmarried name was Alura In-Ze.
#5. Because Kal-El's father (Jor-El) and Kara Zor-El's father (Zor-El) are brothers, Kal-El and Kara are considered paternal cousins in each other's point-of view.
#6. All relationships that Kal-El and Kara Zor-El would have with other family members of the House of El outside of their respective immediate families are considered to be the paternal side of the family.
#7. Kru-El is the paternal cousin of Jor-El and Zor-El in the Earth-16 universe because Kru-El's father and Jor-El's and Zor-El's father are brothers.
#8. The name of Kru-El's father is Zim-El.
Based on what happened in the post-credits scene in the Season 4 mid-season finale of "Young Justice: Phantoms," it appears that Granny Goodness has likely somehow been keeping watch on Mary Bromfield for quite some time; presumably from the moment she stopped becoming Sergeant Marvel up to the conclusion of the Zatanna story arc in Season 4. She likely somehow observed that Mary had a power addiction problem and likely determined that Mary was a potential candidate to become a member of the Female Furies if she took advantage of Mary's problem. Once a heartbroken Mary left Zatanna's team due to being excluded from the Doctor Fate rotation, Granny Goodness spoke to her telepathically and filled her head with lies; thus causing Mary to succumb to her temptation and turning her into Black Mary. Is my interpretation of Granny Goodness' involvement in Mary's turn into a supervillain correct?
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, I believe that Barbara Gordon is able to walk again thanks to some kind of neural implant surgery. As such, why hasn't that option been explored yet for her in the Earth-16 universe?
#1. When exactly did the Earth-16 version of Stephanie Brown became aware of her father's criminal activities, and what was her reaction to this revelation?
#2. Where had Stephanie Brown been living after she ran away from her father? This question refers to both BEFORE she was captured by the Reach and AFTER she was rescued by the Team (but presumably BEFORE becoming Spoiler).
#3. Where has Stephanie Brown been living AFTER becoming Spoiler? Was it any better than where was previously living?
Hello, Greg!
I have a few questions about Atlantis and the characters from Kaldurâs arc.
1. How old is Rodunn?
2. Is there a reason why Laâgaan wears a pouch on his ankle or is it just a style choice?
3. Did the purists (Wyynde, Chian, MâChiste) have to serve prison time for their crimes in season 1?
4. Were Wyynde, Chian, and MâChiste the ones who attacked Topo?
5. Do the Atlanteans worship Greek/Roman gods or have they evolved a different pantheon altogether?
In the Earth-16 universe, is Alfred Pennyworth the legal guardian of Bruce Wayne?
In the comics, the names of Stephanie Brown's parents are Arthur Brown (father) and Crystal Brown (mother); their marital status is identified as divorced. Is this also true in the Earth-16 universe?
After the events of Season 1 of "Young Justice," did Bane eventually find out Batman's secret identity and broke his back; like in the comics? If true, when exactly did that happen in the Earth-16 timeline?
Mr. Weisman,
Since the Earth-16 version of Batwoman did not become a hero until 2016, I have tried to guess as to when the Earth-16 version of the events of "Catwoman: Hunted" most likely happened in the timeline and I have three possibilities in mind:
#1. It could have happened at any point during the two-year period in-between Seasons 2 and 3; aside from the January 2018 flashback from Season 4 that took place at the United Nations.
#2. It could only have happened during the one-year period in-between Seasons 3 and 4; since she temporarily resigned from the Justice League and was working as a member of Batman's team during the events of Season 3.
#3. It could have happened at almost any point off-screen during the events of Season 4; since Batwoman only appeared in the flashback that is set in early 2018, and she was also NOT present at Superboy's and Miss Martian's wedding. This also account for Child's attack all around the world; meaning the events of the film could only have happened at some point before or after the incident occurred. Additionally, Talia al Ghul had only appeared in two episodes of Artemis's story arc, and she didn't appear for the rest of Season 4.
As such, my question for you is this: Which one of these three points in the Earth-16 timeline that I presented above is correct for which the Earth-16 version of "Catwoman: Hunted" likely takes place? Please also explain as to why whichever point you choose is the one that makes the most sense to you.
Hi Greg!
1) What are your thoughts on Lilith Clay (Omen)?
2) Was she on your list of 70+ young heroes that you originally considered for inclusion in Young Justice?
3) If you were to introduce her, would you perhaps change some elements of her story? (For example, she's close friends with Donna Troy in the early comics, but Donna is Troia in YJ and might never have had a civilian life in man's world, so the two might not have met in YJ.)
4) Do you have plans to use Lilith Clay in any possible future seasons of YJ?
If Wonder Woman and Troia are both princesses of the Amazons of Themyscira, then which one becomes the queen in the event that their mother (Hippolyta) dies?
TRUE or FALSE?: The Earth-16 version of Themyscira
#1. Themyscira is a unitary sovereign city-state and archipelagic island nation.
#2. Themyscira is a segregated nation of women governed by "Aphrodite's Law," which declared that the Amazons would be immortal as long as no man sets foot on their island.
#3. Themyscira's location is undisclosed; as a security measure, the island can shift its location over both land and time, remains undetectable from the perspective of any outside observer, and as soon as anyone leaves the island, they forget its location.
#4. Themyscira is the theocracy and capital city that serves as the Amazonians' government.
#5. All Amazons in Themyscira are adept at a discipline called "bullets and bracelets" in which they can deflect bullets fired at them using the chain bands on their wrists.
1. Does Batman ever call James Gordon "Jim" in the Earth-16 universe?
2. Since James Gordon learned that his daughter was Batgirl in 2014, what was his initial reaction once he realized the truth? I also assume that he and Barbara had some kind of heart-to-heart discussion about the reasons for her decision to become Batgirl before he (presumably reluctantly) gave her his permission/blessing to allow her to continue her heroic career as Batgirl?
3. After Barbara Gordon was paralyzed by Cassandra Wu-San, did James Gordon ever (wrongfully) blamed Batman and the other members of the Bat-Family for the incident? Did he ever blamed Cassandra Wu-San for hurting his daughter?
You said there were thousands of Chaos and Order Lords and that the Chaos Lords are spread all over the universe. Since the Lords of Order don't like sending one of their own, are there other people like Doctor Fate out in the universe, or is sending an emissary instead of a Lord of Order an Earth thing only?
1. Was the Earth-16 version of Troia sculpted out of clay as an infant on Themyscira; just like her sister, Wonder Woman (Diana)?
2. In the Earth-16 universe, where exactly is Themyscira located on Earth?
1. What was Wendy Harris' initial reaction after she figured out at some point between 2016 and 2020 that many of her friends were actually superheroes? In fact, HOW exactly was she able to figure it out in the first place?
2. As of 2020, what is the current status of the relationship between Marvin White and Wendy Harris?
How old is the Earth-16 version of Lightning Lad (Garth Ranzz)?
Since Bart Allen's father (Don Allen) and mother (Meloni Thawne; presumably) were not seen in the Reach timeline in 2056, does that mean they likely died at some point between 2043 and 2056?
When Damian Wayne was first introduced in the comics, it was eventually revealed that he was genetically perfected and grown in an artificial womb, and was intended to become formidable warrior. In the current continuity of DC Comics, Damien was conceived during a brief fling between Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul (when they were both young adults), and then after Damian was born, Talia used the extensive scientific resources of the League of Assassins to inorganically speed up Damian's aging giving him the physiology of a ten year old in less than five years.
However, in the Earth-16 universe, it APPEARS as though Damian's birth is a natural one; without any kind of genetic manipulation whatsoever. As such, was Damian's conception a direct result of Bruce and Talia truly (and briefly) getting back together, or was it a result of Talia's manipulations against Bruce in order to get herself an heir to Ra's al Ghul's legacy? Finally, is the Earth-16 version of Damian also identified by his other name, Ibn al Xu'ffasch (which means "Son of the Bat" in Arabic)?
1. When did Lois Lane first started working at the Daily Planet?
2. When did Clark Kent and Lois Lane first met, and what was their initial impressions of each other?
3. Does Lois Lane ever (occasionally) call Clark Kent by the nickname "Smallville" like in the comics?
4. When did Clark Kent finally told Lois Lane the truth that he was Superman?
5. When and where did Clark Kent proposed to Lois Lane?
6. On Clark and Lois' wedding day, who was their best man and maid of honor, respectively?
1. In regards to the Collector of Worlds and Brainiac-5, why are their species identified as Coludroids instead of Coluans in the Earth-16 universe; even though their homeworld is Colu?
2. Is there some kind of connection/relationship between the Collector of Worlds (Vril Dox) and Brainiac-5 (Querl Dox) in the Earth-16 universe? If so, does Brainiac-5 acknowledges the Collector of Worlds as Brainiac-1?
3. How old is the Earth-16 version of Brainiac-5?
Hi Greg! I had a question about Garfield Logan and Jason Todd. Garfield mentioned how he mourned Jason, were the two close before Jason's death?
Hi Greg, this is Paulo again, I wanted to apologize for not asking these two questions before, but I hope you can answer these last questions of mine about the series:
3 - Why doesn't Martian Manhunter use his Telekinesis as often as his niece?
4 - Can the Martian Manhunter (and Martians in general) transform into big monsters? Could Martian Manhunter transform into a 30 meter dragon for example? Or a 5 meter tall alien/martian beast?
Arc 5 "Rocket" Ramble
Another really great arc for me. Loved Rocket, loved the family angle, loved the way the New Gods were handled, I liked seeing Lor-Zod and his team as sort of an "anti-team", the Metron stuff was great, I LOVED the Green Lantern stuff, it pretty much single-handedly got me to watch the entirety of the Green Lantern Animated Series, and that was good too so. All around great arc.
I love the take on some of the New Genesis stuff here. This is sort of a difficult subject to incorporate because it's been done quite a few times before, and I think very successfully in terms of the Superman: The Animated Series. The New Gods mythology also requires a *plethora* of lore and exposition. I watched this with my cousin, who knows very little about the New Gods. And he was a little confused, we watched the Superman: The Animated Series episodes featuring Orion & Apokalips & Darkseid, and they opened up their New Gods storytelling with the Mother Box showing Superman a little short infotainment video about the history of Apokalips & New Genesis and I think that helped a bit.
Not a big issue for me, though, all things considered. I've honestly always liked that Young Justice doesn't hold hands about arcane comic lore, a lot of it is pretty easy to just infer from visuals and personalities. White-haired man dressed like a shepherd is good, man with fiery eyes who looks like he hangs out in hell is bad. It all works.
M'Comm continues to kind of be an issue for me. I feel like he hits a weird spot. He's not sympathetic or humanistic enough for me to sympathize with him, and he's also not really outright vicious enough for it to be much fun when he gets taken down. He just leaves me feeling kind of ambivalent unfortunately. And I really *want* to like him. Having said that, I thought his dynamic with Lor-Zod and Mantis was great. Lor-Zod makes a good impression, I think the character was a *little* young for Phil Morris's baritone, but he does a great job with the character.
I can't quite remember which arc had the Superboy stuff where, so I'll just talk about it now. I really liked this for Superboy. This was a cool way to introduce the Phantom Zone prisoners, who have been a bit hokey as far as villains go over the years. They're kind of weirdly archaic in theory. Mostly because they're so associated with Terrence Stamp's portrayal from the second Superman film I think. Beyond that, what do you really do with a team of all-powerful supervillains who want to conquer the world. Well... this. I love the use of cult imagery here, the song is great. I love how Superboy is seduced by Zod, Zod is genuinely persuasive and compelling.
Superboy's mindset is also really clear here and it works really well.
Rocket is another character here who's just kind of like a catalyst or sort of centrepiece for this wacky outer space story about near immortal gods and aliens and space ships. I'm kind of, of two minds on her arc really. To an extent. On the one hand I like how sort of normal her arc is. She's just struggling with life. She's a single mom, trying to co-parent with her ex for a kid who has particular needs that she doesn't necessarily understand. And the opening scene really just sets up that she's not good at it. The closest thing she has to a moment of crisis is that a subway station is closed and it upsets her son.
I LOVE it, because it's so normal. There is no dramatic impetus, there is no light switch that Raquel needs to flip to become a good mom, she's going to go back and keep living her life, but maybe now she'll have a better attitude, some perspective, a bit more understanding of her situation because of her experiences. It's simple, it's nice. But because it's not very dramatic, there's no real engine to drive her story here. There's no clear arc necessarily. It's just kind of a bunch of stuff that happened. Which, as I've mentioned before, I'm really fine with. There's enough other things going on to make up for it.
Orion I liked a lot. I'm sort of unfortunately comparing it in my mind with other versions of the character (in this case, the Superman:TAS/JL/JLU version played by Ron Perlman), which isn't fair, but there's a lot to like about this version honestly, so it's not like he compares badly anyway. I think there was a tone to the New Genesis characters in the DCAU where they felt sort of grand and elegant and truly super-heroic. The boom tube effect in that show was pure white, and it always felt like rays from heaven or something. And the characters themselves felt like characters out of a bible cartoon or something. And they have a lot more grit in Young Justice (and to be fair *everything* has a lot more grit in Young Justice). It's not worse by any means, just different. In regards to Orion, from my limited understanding of Autism I don't think interpreting Orion as an autistic character is even a stretch frankly. He's a lot more brusque in Young Justice than he's been in other shows I've seen him in, but the sort of core of the character is still very much there. Also I'm a sucker for a story where a character overcomes their mental health struggles. Maybe that's not the right terminology or framing exactly, but when a character who has mental health struggles succeeds. It's nice to see.
The Green Lantern episode we got was so cool, as I said it got me to watch the entire series that was based on. This is one of the episodes which felt refreshing because it was such a stand-alone story. I watched it, it was satisfying, it didn't leave me feeling ambivalent. And I sort of missed those strong self-contained stories a bit with this season. Even if it was setting up Metron and some other elements for other stories. Also Razer was a total smoke-show. That's not really substantial, or important, but it made watching the episode more fun.
I was a *bit* surprised Dee Bradley Baker was playing Tomar-Re when he was played by Jeff Bennett in GL:TAS and Jeff Bennett has been a major cast member in YJ as well, but Dee Bradley Baker was cool and I suppose Bennett may have just been unavailable or there was some good ol' cost-cutting double-casting going on with Baker.
Oh, and the Foragers... I'm indifferent. It was cute. Reciting Shakespeare with third person pronouns was cute. I really liked that femme Forager became a Green Lantern. That was a cool surprising twist.
I think that's everything. It was great. Thoroughly enjoyed watching all four episodes.
In regards to the Earth-16 version of The Shade, is his real name Richard Swift; like in the comics? Also, if his physical appearance is the biological equivalent of a 48-year old human male, then what is his actual age?
Will Season 5 of "Young Justice" introduce us to the Earth-16 version of the Outlaws; a group that is led by Red Hood (Jason Todd) in the comics?
Hi Greg, I was wondering if Icicle Jr is a meta-human.
Will Scott Menville & Hynden Walch voice another Animated Superhero Couple & Mento & Elasti-Woman again in The 5th Season of Young Justice?
Hey Greg, when did the red hooded ninja join Raâs group on Infinity Island?
Hey Greg! I read that you and Denys Cowan developed a Rocket pilot back in the day. I was just wondering, were there any specific choices or details about it that sticks out in your mind?
Hey Greg,
Hope you're doing okay. Really looking forward to the new Gargoyles comics coming from Dynamite later in the year.
Anyway, I was browsing the archives and noticed this little tidbit...
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=15087
I realize this is like three and a half decades after the fact but do you remember anything about the other four Transformer springboards you and Cary pitched back in '86?
Hi Greg, big fan of Young Justice, hope we get another season!
I was wondering, what are Kaldur's responsibilities as Atlantean Minister of Justice?
Hi Mr. Wiseman, I hope you can answer some questions I have, most of them are about Krypton. Sorry if youâve heard it before or if itâs repetitive.
1. Is Faora Hu-Ul from the House of Ul, and the crest she wears the insignia for that house?
2. Is Jax-Ur from the House of Ur, and the crest he wears the insignia for that house?
3. Is Vor-Kil from the House of Kil, and the crest he wears the insignia for that house?
4. Why doesnât Non wear a crest, was he disowned by his house?
5. How many planets orbited Rao before it exploded? What planet was Krypton?
6. Is Rao a black hole now or a stellar cloud?
7. Did Krypton have any moons, and if so how many?
8. Was Lara Elâs maiden name Lor-Van?
Thanks for sharing the other Hercules premise with us. I got a kick out of Cassandra having a Pollyanna-like sister (the name alone made it clear that Pollyanna was an inspiration for her), and Hephaestus almost visiting a Pompeii-like fate on Greece.
As I understand it on Earth-16, J'onn J'onzz was accidentally transported from Mars to Earth in 1955. Since he was stranded on Earth for decades, did his family and the rest of the Martian people initially assumed that J'onn was dead? If true, when did J'onn finally get into contact with his people to let them know that he was actually still alive?
A "Young Justice" question I've wondered about a bit and finally decided to submit. In "Secrets", you featured allusions to both "Beowulf" (the Sword of Beowulf, complete with Grendel's arm for its scabbard) and Cain and Abel (I recall one of the locations in the episode was called "Abel's House of Secrets" - which definitely matched Harm's great evil deed being murdering his sibling).
In the original poem "Beowulf", Grendel is described as one of the descendants of Cain (who was punished for his murder of Abel by having his children be monsters); did this inspire the allusions to both "Beowulf" and the Cain and Abel story in the same episode? Or is it just a (neat) coincidence?
Thanks for sharing with us that "Hercules" premise you wrote. I can see why it didn't get made; I can imagine someone in the Disney administration being a bit nervous about Biblical characters (the originals, rather than namesakes) - if from the Old Testament and not directly religious ones - though I recall an episode of "Pinky and the Brain" which also featured Samson and Delilah (complete with the "jawbone of an ass" incident). I got a smile at the original Goliath showing up in the story, too (a bit early from the point of view of Biblical chronology, but then, given that the "Hercules" animated series often had people from Greek mythology and classical Greece, such as Pericles and Herodotus, as contemporaries....).
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Apparently, some rude individual had posted a message to you asking you to delete all the questions that I have been anonymously giving to you. I honestly find that person to be utterly disrespectful simply because of the fact that they feel that I posted a lot of questions recently (as of the time of this posting). If you truly feel that I have pestering you with my questions, and if I've somehow gotten you angry, I apologize.
#2. In your responses to certain postings, you previously claim that you needed to do some research in order to be able to answer specific questions (such as the full names of the characters). Now, if I recall correctly, there is a source book called "The DC Comics Encyclopedia," and the first version of that book came out around 2004. Three updated versions of it came out in 2008 ("The DC Comics Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded"), 2016 ("The DC Comics Encyclopedia: All-New Edition"), and 2021 ("The DC Comics Encyclopedia: New Edition"). If I also recall correctly, I believe in the cases of all editions of "The DC Comics Encyclopedia," the publisher of these books is identified as Dorling Kindersley Limited (branded as DK). If could offer one important key piece of advice to you, it would be this: I would recommend you get all four editions of "The DC Comics Encyclopedia," and then keep getting new/updated editions of it whenever they come out. If you follow this advice, it might end up being quite helpful to you in the long run when trying to stay up-to-date with information regarding the DC Comics Universe.
Are Barbara and Dick still in a relationship as of season 4 of Young Justice?
This has been bugging me for a while. When Conner's hair burnt off in the lava, I noticed it's roughly the same place where Phantom Girl placed her hand when she sent them both into the Phantom Zone in order to save his life. Did Conner's hair burn off because Phantom Girl placed her hand on that part of his head or was it really just the lava?
1. Previously you said Black Canary and Static have secret identities despite not wearing masks, with the reasoning being along the lines of âitâs like Clark Kent and Superman/we want them to look like their comics versions/you just sorta have to roll with itâ (sorry if that misrepresents what you really said).
With some exceptions, like Jaime being outed by the Reach or Garfield being green, is this generally true for all the public heroes who donât wear masks? For example, would the general public not realize that Ed and Cassie are El Dorado and Wonder Girl?
2. Additionally, do characters with publicly well known identities who donât wear masks not have secret identities? For example, does the general public know that âZatanna Zatara the stage magicianâ is the same person as âZatannaâ of the Justice League?
3. How do the public superheroes without secret identities deal with the fame?
4. Since the Light already knows who all the heroes are (even the ones on the Team) at this point, is the use of code names mostly out of habit/tradition or just to protect them from common criminals (or both)?
Thank you!
Hi Greg,
Hey Gregâ"hope this finds you well. Had a Gargoyles question and some Spec Spidey questions.
1. Now that Gargoyles is coming back in comic book form, do you have new ideas that you didnât think of back when you were working on the SLG comics that you plan to incorporate into the new series? Not asking for what they are.
2. Why didnât Curt Conners test the Lizard formula on a rabbit or mouse like in the comics and other versions? It just seems a bit out of character for Curt, as a scientist, not to test the formula on another animal and to use himself as the only Guinea pig?
3. Did Curt know that Electro juiced the Lizard serum? I know he eventually found out since he basically shot down Warren in season 2 when he recommended using electricity for mammalian DNA. If he did know, again I wonder why didnât he especially test the serum.
Hope you are well. Recently introduced Gargoyles to my best friend after he loved Spectacular and heâs really into it. Deadly Force really impressed him. Cheers!
Hello so I love wyynde and kaldur they are such an amazing couple I love them more than anything they were there for me when I needed something to stay they gave me a reason I suffered through a lot of suicidal thoughts it was really bad but when I watched young justice and i saw wyynde and kaldur it made me feel so much better so if we get a new season of young justice do you think we would see more of them together
Seriously, would you consider deleting/ignoring these types of questions from @Anonymous? Itâs ridiculous.
â1. Why does the Earth-16 version of Lois Lane retain her maiden name even after she married Clark Kent?
2. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Tim Drake, his first name is actually Timothy, and "Tim" is his nickname, correct?
3. Shouldn't Jonathan and Martha Kent technically be identified as Jonny Kent's paternal adoptive grandparents; since Jor-El and Lara El are Jonny Kent's paternal biological grandparents?
4. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Beast Boy, his nickname is "Gar," correct? Also, is his father's name Mark Logan?
5. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Cyborg, his nickname is "Vic," correct? Also, is his mother's name Elinore Stone?
6. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Black Lightning, his nickname is "Jeff," correct?â
I know none of these questions on the queue are âimportantâ in the grand scheme of things, but there are so many questions from someone who doesnât have the common sense to know what a grandfather is or that Vic is a nickname for Victor (even though itâs in the show). When there are a ton of other people waiting months for an answer and only a few questions are answered per week, itâs crazy to have so many questions asking âis X a cousin of Y? Does that mean Y is a cousin of X?â
Mr. Weisman,
1. In regards to the Earth-16 version of the Penguin, is his name Oswald Cobblepot?
2. Is the Penguin's middle name Chesterfield?
Mr. Weisman,
1. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Lois Lane's mother, is her name Elinore Lane or Elenor Lane. Also, regardless of what the correct version of her first name is, is her first name nicknamed "Ella"?
2. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Kate Kane, is Thomas Wayne her paternal uncle?
3. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Kate Kane's mother, is her name Gabrielle Kane? Also, is her first name nicknamed "Gabi"? Finally, is she Bruce Wayne's maternal aunt?
4. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Kate Kane's twin sister, is her name Elizabeth Kane? Also, is her first name nicknamed "Beth"? Finally, from Elizabeth's point of view, Bruce is her PATERNAL cousin, and from Bruce's point of view, Elizabeth is his MATERNAL cousin, is that correct?
5. In regards to Kate and Elizabeth's relationship in the Earth-16 universe, are they identical twins, or is one older than the other? If the latter, who is the oldest twin?
Hi Mr. Wiseman, I hope you have time to answer my questions.
Weâve seen the Kryptonians like Dru-Zod, Ursa Zod, and Faora Hu-Ul wear those suits and I have to know, are those prison clothes due to the Phantom Zone being used as a prison, and if so does that mean all the Kryptonians that were in the Zone wore those similar outfits?
How many Kryptonians were in the Zone before the Light took them?
1. Do you consider Icicle Jr. to be a romantic? He loves romance and wants to find true love for himself. That and he's probably the 1# Supermartian shipper
2. When M'gann got back to Earth, how did Artemis help her deal with Conner's death? Since she's been through this before when she lost Wally, Artemis was obviously going to be there for her in every way possible and can you give us any specifics? I'm asking since we never saw them interact in season 4 (sadly I might add).
3. How does Jonny Kent feel about having M'gann as his aunt and do they have a good relationship with each other?
4. Did M'gann ever go to visit the Kent farm in Smallville too?
Mr. Weisman,
1. How many of Miss Martian's brothers and sisters are older than her? Likewise, how many of Miss Martian's brothers and sisters are younger then her?
2. Since Miss Martian has an extended family of 300 cousins, how many of them are from her paternal side of the family, and how many or them are from her maternal side of the family?
Mr. Weisman,
Now that Samuel Lane (Lois Lane's father) is acknowledged to exist in the Earth-16 universe, that means in terms of relationships...
A. ... he is Clark Kent's father-in-law.
B. ... he is Jonathan and Martha Kent's brother-in-law.
C. ... he is Jonny Kent's maternal grandfather.
D. ... he is Jor-El's and Lara El's brother-in-law (despite the fact they are both deceased; meaning that Samuel Lane would never be able to meet them).
These relationships should all be correct, right? Did I miss any other familial relationships that Samuel Lane might have with other Earth-16 characters? Finally, is Samuel Lane's nickname "Sam" in the Earth-16 universe?
1. Why does the Earth-16 version of Lois Lane retain her maiden name even after she married Clark Kent?
2. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Tim Drake, his first name is actually Timothy, and "Tim" is his nickname, correct?
3. Shouldn't Jonathan and Martha Kent technically be identified as Jonny Kent's paternal adoptive grandparents; since Jor-El and Lara El are Jonny Kent's paternal biological grandparents?
4. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Beast Boy, his nickname is "Gar," correct? Also, is his father's name Mark Logan?
5. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Cyborg, his nickname is "Vic," correct? Also, is his mother's name Elinore Stone?
6. In regards to the Earth-16 version of Black Lightning, his nickname is "Jeff," correct?
Mr. Weisman,
This link below explains who Leonardo Lane is in the mainstream DC Comics continuity.
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Leonardo_Lane_(Prime_Earth)
He is a recently new character in the comics who appeared in 2021. Now, I am NOT asking you whether or not he exists in the Earth-16 universe; I'm just hoping I was able to clear up any confusion you might have had, since you previously mentioned that you knew nothing about him.
Can Barry and Bart vibrate people or objects fast enough to phase through objects, or can they only phase themselves through objects? Can the two of them phase through other people as well?
(Also are there any mods who can stop the same person from asking so many obvious spoilers and name-related questions from clogging up the queueâ¦)
Thanks!
Mr. Weisman,
When will the Earth-16 version of Tim Drake eventually take on the costumed identity of "Red Robin," like his Earth-0 counterpart did in the comics (after the apparent death of Bruce Wayne; as depicted in "Final Crisis")?
Mr. Weisman,
Did the Earth-16 version of Dick Grayson had any family members on his mother's side of the family? If so, what were their names?
Mr. Weisman,
Has the Earth-16 version of Jason Todd ever been addressed by the nickname "Jaybird" prior to his death?
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 version of Kara Zor-El willingly joined the forces of Apokolips as a member of the Female Furies (as opposed to being brainwashed; like in the comics), is it correct to assume that her decision is most likely influenced by the fact that she had spent over 40 years in the Phantom Zone and she had most likely completely succumbed to the Zone-Sickness; which was likely far worse for her (assuming this is due to her own youth and inexperience) than what Superboy himself had suffered (since he had been trapped in the Phantom Zone for MONTHS; whereas Kara had been trapped for YEARS)?
Mr. Weisman,
The reason why I previously asked you if the full name of the Earth-16 version of Bruce Wayne is "Bruce Thomas Wayne" is because in the DC Rebirth continuity, Bruce's full name was revealed in "Batman" issue #20; the fifth and final issue of the "I Am Bane" story arc. In the end of that issue, Bruce's full name was addressed by his mother (Martha Wayne) when he had a vision of her. And yet, when I previously asked you about Bruce's full name being the same in the Earth-16 universe as it currently is in the comics, you yourself said, in your exact words, "Not necessarily." If you require proof, look on the link here below.
https://comiconlinefree.net/batman-2016/issue-20/full
With me now presenting some form of evidence this time around, I'll ask you once again: In the Earth-16 universe, is Bruce Wayne's full name "Bruce Thomas Wayne"?
Mr. Weisman,
In a previous posting, you explained how Kryptonian naming conventions work in the Earth-16 universe. As such, how do Thanagarian and Martian naming conventions work in the Earth-16 universe for males and females, and married and unmarried?
Hi Greg,
First off, I'd like to say Gargoyles was a big part of my childhood, and still is to this day. The mature content for a younger audience, cast of Star Trek alumni, and Shakespearean aspect truly got me interested in Shakespeare from a young age. My question is as follows.
1) I'm an avid storyteller in the midst of writing his first novel. My story has many different races from many different mythologies. I'd like to include Gargoyles in my story but I don't want to copy you. I have too much respect and appreciation for your creation and its characters. My question is it OK to have gargoyles in my story?
2) Also have them come alive? Or living period?
3) Not to ask your process, everyone's different but what would you recommend I do so not to copy you but have them be warriors, rulers, politicians, scholars, etc.? A living race of gargoyles in the middle is part of my overall story.
Let me know and look forward to hearing from you.
Brian
You bring up your background as a Jewish/atheist every time someone criticizes the way you portray Islam in your showâ¦Iâm curious as to why you havenât shared any aspects of the culture and religion youâre actually familiar with in the same way? To be honest, the way you talk about Muslims comes off like exploitation and fetishization rather than a genuine interest in the topic when you donât explore Judaism the same way. You had Kate Kane right there.
Hola Greg, sorry if this questions are too annoying or large
1) In the war world episode I get that Dick needed to remain behind to coordinate the squads but how come Aquaman remained behind? Even if you go by the "Aquaman sucks outside water" line of thought I'm sure he would've been more useful than say, Mal.
2) I get the impression that M'gann has soft spot for young boys like Garfield, Cullen and maybe at some point Dick. Is it because they remind her of her past bond with M'comm? Could she eventually view little Johnny on a simmilar light
2.5) How would you say was M'ree's relationship with her a'ashenn younger siblings as a child?
3) As I understand the martian's super strenght comes from channeling their telekinesis inwards alongside their density control, and I get the impression that J'onn is the most physically powerful living martian. Does that mean his telekinetic abilities are equally powerful? (I think it would make sense given how M'comm's specialty seems to be shape shifting while M'gann's is telepathy)
4) Did M'comm at some point like Earth tv? It would explain his penchant for earthling snark (or are those just universal)
5) I get that they're technically equals but when Barry and Billy were transporting bad guys to prison it gave me some of the same vibes as the other sidekicks with their proteges. Considering that Billy never had a mentor of his own, does he see the other leaguers as such? Is Barry specially tight with him due to reminding him of Wally?
6) Is Conner attracted to M'gann's martian form? Because I think it would make sense given how she doesn't look that weird compared to the cadmus genomorphs that basically raised him.
7) How would you describe Klarion's relationship with Vandal? His "best friend's dad" (ergo something of an uncle), perhaps?
8) Could a martian get pregnant with another race?
9) Could you tell me which of younger heroes (say of the generation introduced since second season) are currently attending college? If so would it be a spoiler to ask about their majors?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of the Black Racer (who is the physical manifestation of an aspect of Death that was captured by Darkseid; as depicted in the current DC Comics continuity)?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of the DNAngels; a trio of genetically engineered female US government agents whose members consists of Cherub (a clone of the combined DNA of Superboy and Tana Moon), Epiphany (a clone of the combined DNA of Superboy, Wonder Girl, and a third unknown individual), and Seraph (a clone of the combined DNA of Superboy and an unnamed African American woman)?
Mr. Weisman,
Are the following below TRUE or FALSE about the Earth-16 version of Wonder Girl?
#1. Zeus' siblings (Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, and Demeter) are Cassie's paternal aunts and paternal uncles.
#3. Zeus' children (Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Persephone, Hercules, Hermes, and many others) are all Cassie's paternal half-siblings.
#4. Any and all children of Zeus' siblings are Cassie's paternal cousins.
#5. Cronus and Rhea is Cassie's paternal grandparents, and Ouranos and Gaea are Cassie's paternal great-grandparents.
#6. As the daughter of Zeus, Cassie could theoretically be more powerful than Wonder Woman, Troia, and all the other Amazons in Themyscira; assuming Cassie ever utilizes her full power.
#7. When Cassie learned of her paternal heritage, her initial reaction could only be described as "mind-blown."
I would like to know, what do the star spawn look like?

I just want to say that I love Lagoon Boy's relationship with Coral and Rodunn. I support their marriage and they are all very happy, but I've just got to ask. Was it rather hard for La'gann to be involved in a three person relationship, considering his previous love triangle with M'gann and Conner. I know a love triangle is different compared to polyamory, but did he have any doubts about this relationship, fearing he might end up heartbroken after what happened before?
Also can I just point out the irony of it all. In season 2, he was involved in a love triangle with 3 people and by season 4, he is in a 3 person marriage.
Did Lagoon Boy blame Superboy for Miss Martian breaking up with him and if so was that the main reason for Lagoon Boy's old grudge against Superboy or was there more to it?
Are there any deleted scenes from the season 4 finale that you wanted to include but didn't?
1. When did Vandal Savage start using his current name "Vandal Savage"?
2. Would Ra's Al Ghul martial arts ability be on the level of Sensei, Lady Shiva, Black Canary and Batman assuming they are the top martial artists? I only ask because relatively recent media have shown him being defeated rather easily. With the caveat that anyone can win any fight based on the situation would Ra's Al Ghul be up there? Or is he like King Arthur in the Gargoyles universe and has his skillset towards leadership?
3. In Young Justice Legacy why didn't the Light use Icicle Sr. over Icicle Jr given the latter's... well inconsistent success?
I've been curious ever since the wedding, but since Icicle Jr. attended Miss Martian and Superboy's wedding aren't the heroes concerned that he might reveal to the other villains that the couple lives in Happy Harbour, not to mention he saw a lot of the heroes there too, some of them unmasked or members of their families like Clark Kent and the rest of the Kents!!!!
Mr. Weisman,
To clarify as to why I've been asking you certain questions (such as the full names of the Earth-16 characters, and paternal and maternal relationships of certain characters in the Earth-16 universe, for example), it is because I've been trying to make comparisons between the Earth-16 versions of characters and their mainstream DC Comics counterparts, and I try to see what they have in common. I usually look into the DC Database Wiki when I make comparisons, but most the mainstream versions of the DC Comics characters on the Wiki are between two sets of character pages; identified as New Earth and Prime Earth in parenthesis after their real names. Character pages with New Earth refer to those histories prior to the massive continuity changes which are a result of the 2011 DC Comics comic book event, "Flashpoint." Character pages with Prime Earth refer tho those histories after Flashpoint from 2011 onwards; even then, further events like DC Rebirth and Infinite Frontier have changed continuity in the mainstream DC Universe and making it similar to what it was prior to "Flashpoint."
So like I said before, the whole point of me asking those specific questions is because I was making comparisons and was trying to find what the characters from BOTH the mainstream DC Comics universe and the Earth-16 universe have in common. But it has been extremely difficult because some things end up being spoiler territory (Jason Todd and the Red-Hooded Ninja, for example) and some things you seem to absolutely refuse to commit to (Bette Kane's full name and exact nature of her relationship to the rest of the Kane family, for example). I mean, if there are certain things about the characters that are TRUE in BOTH the mainstream DC Comics universe AND the Earth-16 universe (full names, specific events/circumstances, familial relationships, etc.), why can't we have direct answers to certain questions from you if they are most likely true?
Hello Mr. Weissman, I've been a big fan of your work since Gargoyles.
1) Are the New Gods literal gods or just really advanced aliens?
2) Since YJ all takes place in a single galaxy as opposed to the entire universe as in the comics: is there life outside the Milky Way galaxy?
3) When were these characters born:
3a) Jor-El
3b) Zor-El
3c) Dru-Zod
4) When was the Green Lantern Corps first established?
5) What is the difference between Zeta Tube teleportation and Boom Tube teleportation?
6) Did Vandal Savage and Ra's Al Ghul know each other before the modern Light was formed?
Hey Greg! Huge fan of Young Justice! My questions are:
1)How long is the probationary period for a new GL?
2a)Was a young Green Lantern like maybe Kyle Rainer or Jessica Cruz ever discussed by you and Brandon for being a member of The Teamâs starting lineup?
2b)Why did you ultimately decide to not have a GL on The Original Team?
3)In your original Season 3 plans, before the show was canceled, was Kaldur going to be Aquaman after the timeskip?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Wayne Enterprises:
#1. When was the company first formed in the Earth-16 universe?
#2. What are the names of corporate branches and subsidiaries of the company? Please provide some examples if all of them cannot be named.
#3. Is Bruce Wayne the chief executive officer (CEO) of the company?
#4. Who is the chief operating officer (COO) of the company?
#5. Who is the chief financial officer (CFO) of the company?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. If Orphan (Cassandra Wu-San) moved into Wayne Manor in 2018, does that also mean she became Bruce Wayne's fourth legal ward? The reason I am asking this question is because I remember in the comics (prior to the massive continuity changes in the aftermath of Flashpoint) that Cassandra Cain became the adopted daughter of Bruce Wayne.
#2. Even though Orphan's vocal cords are damaged by her own mother, that does NOT necessarily mean that Orphan will NEVER be able to speak, am I correct?
#3. Does Orphan know who her father (David Cain) is? If not, what is the reason why she does not know about him?
#4. Is Orphan's nationality considered to be half-American, half-Chinese; even though she uses her mother's surname (Wu-San)?
#5. Did Orphan's mother trained her in the following martial arts listed below?
Leopard Style Kung Fu
Dragon Style Kung Fu
Judo
Capoeira
Kokusho
Savate
Karate
Dim Mak (An ancient form of martial arts where you strike vital points of the opponent's body causing paralysis, intense and prolonged pain or death.)
What is the interaction between Static and Rocket like In Earth-16?
They are both characters from DC Milestone.
How old is Young Justice's version of Razer as of Team Year 10?
I know you've said you don't like placing the show into any specific years, and in fact did relatively recently (as far as me asking this) say that we'll call Season 1 "Team Year Zero", but I've also noticed that sometimes you'll refer to events taking place before the show with the year it happened. For instance, you once said that Stephanie Brown was born in 2003 (https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=21664).
Doesn't that sort of mean you have to somewhat define the years the show takes place?
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, Bette Kane and Kate Kane were revealed to be cousins after the events of the 2005-2006 comic book storyline, "Infinite Crisis." However, the Young Justice Wiki establishes that Kate and Bette have an unknown relation to each other. As such, if they are not paternal cousins (considering that they share the same last name; suggesting their respective fathers are brothers) like in the comics, then what is the exact nature of their relationship to each other?
PS. Despite your inability to commit to any information regarding Bette, I am of the personal belief that Kate and Bette are indeed paternal cousins. In the Earth-16 universe, Kate was born in 1991, and Bette was born in 1995; as such, that's only about a four-year difference between them. I'm also imagine that, as such, Bette was pretty close to Kate and most likely looked up to her and spent time with her; like in the comics.
1. what origin story does earth 16 Jason Todd have the one that is the same as Dick Grayson Or the one were he got caught trying to steal the tries from the bat-mobile
2. Since we have Virgil Hawkins were is his best friend Richie Foley and if he does exist is he or will he become Gear
TRUE or FALSE?: The Earth-16 version of Jason Todd
#1. Prior to becoming Robin, Jason was a street orphan.
#2. Jason first encountered Batman while he attempted to steal the tires off the Batmobile in Crime Alley.
#3. As Robin, Jason was prone to defying orders, sometimes to success and sometimes to failure.
#4. Jason being prone to defying orders occurs both whenever he works alongside Batman and whenever he works alongside the other members of the Team.
#5. Jason being prone to defying orders is part of the reason for his death.
1. Are Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown boyfriend and Girlfriend?
2. Who will be Cassie Sandsmark's love interest now that she is broken up with Tim Drake?
3. Who is the fourth Green Lantern? (I understand if this is a Spoiler)
How did Conner feel about the fact that he was mostly naked for almost the entire fourth season?
Hi, Greg!
I'm so excited for the new Gargoyles comics coming from Dynamite! I had a weird question cross my mind today, but I figure it's unlikely you know this answer, but: why did Disney license Gargoyles out to another company when they own a comic publisher already?

What state is Metropolis located in the Earth-16 universe?
Hey Mr weisman my favorite scene in Young Justice Outsiders are the children of the Justice League .it was funny , lighthearted and very interesting.it like the Rugrats of superheroes in the DC universe.
Are you going
YJ spinoff or expand it with more seasons in the future.
Hey Mr.Weisman,one question to ask you please:
Do Lois and Iris have complicated pregnancy while having superhuman babies inside their wombs?
For the team, Alpha Squad, Beta Squad, Gamma Squad, etc is pretty self-explanatory. I know the Outsiders have animal-themed names for the squads (Raptor Squad, Gorilla Squad, Mongoose Squad), but I have some questions about the names:
1) Do these squads have rankings like the team squads do? Or are the names based on their function (âRaptorâ for the group doing espionage high in the sky, âGorillaâ for guerilla warfare/all-out attack, âMongooseâ forâ¦I donât know)
2) If my first question is correct then what does âMongooseâ mean in this context?
3) Is it correct to assume that the names are inspired by Beast Boy when he was the leader of the Outsiders?
4) Does the JL have squad names as well?
Thank you! Hoping to see more YJ in the near future!
Hi Greg,
Just seven questions. Okay, if they aren't all answered and apologies if you've answered them before.
1) I know you're not really confirming Designations anymore but judging from how the B designations were handed out (and you said in the past that the Outsiders used B designations until they were given the D post-Season 3) does B-34 belong to El Dorado/Eduardo Dorado Jr. and B-35 to Cyborg?
2) Did the families of the Justice League and the associates end up with A designations post-Season 2, judging from Lian (A-28) and Amistad (A-29) getting them?
3) Will we ever see Freddy Freeman/Lieutenant Marvel? If not, is it possible to know what he's up to these days with Billy and Mary (until she joined Granny Goodness)?
4) Did Tim Drake/Robin and Cassie Sandsmark/Wonder Girl break up over the events of Season 3 or did they just break up and feel better as friends?
5) Was the birth of Damian and whatever is going on with the Red Hooded Ninja and his connection to Jason Todd (either the resurrected Jason or a clone, either/or I await that story with interest) a factor into Bruce's behaviour and decision to create the Anti-Light operation? If anything, I see it being personal for Bruce to what the Light did to not just the Justice League but presumably to his own family.
5) Is Kyle Rayner active as a Green Lantern? And is Tai Pham a part of the Earth-16 universe? I was hoping for a team-up between him and the SuperSons before they awkwardly in my opinion aged up Jon Kent.
6) Are the E designations in relation to the Justice League reserve discussed by members in Season 4?
7) How close are Tim and Stephanie as of Season 4? Friends or colleagues or perhaps starting to become more? Also, did he recruit her and train her before she did something stupid?
#1. Between the events of "Young Justice: Phantoms" and "Young Justice: Targets," did Superboy attended at least one mandatory therapy session with Black Canary in order to discuss his post-Phantom Zone mental state and to determine whether or not he was ready to rejoin the Outsiders (which he obviously did)?
#2. If we ever see Match again in a future season of "Young Justice," is his voice likely going to become more distorted; given his current mutated/deformed-looking condition?
#3. Lian Nguyen-Harper addresses Oliver Queen as "Uncle Ollie." Does she addresses Dinah Lance as "Aunt Dinah," assuming Lian knows abut Oliver's and Dinah's relaitonship?
Hi Mr. Wiseman, I hope you're available to answer some of my questions.
1. You said Kryptonian males hyphen their names, but why doesn't Non have his hyphenated? Was he disowned by his house?
2. How old is Dru-Zod (both chronologically and physically)?
3. Who was older, Jor-El or Zor-El?
4. Was Krypton's capital Kandor?
5. Is Kryptonite radioactive debris from Krypton's destruction or something else?
Thanks.
Dear Mr Weisman 1.How long has Courtney Whitmore been hosting Star girl (the series not her alter ego) and has she ever worn a baseball cap during any out of costume intervewes or any other times when not in costume? 2. what does Miss Whitmore plan to Study as her collage major?
Dear Greg,
I have 3 questions about Outsiders/Phantoms that I doubt are answered or spoilers:
1. If you have them, would you please share the Designations of League members between Aquamen 2 and 3? I know Steel is 36, but no others!
2. I am also kind of dying to know which Green Lantern joined the League before La'gaan, Alan Scott? Kyle Rayner?? Jessica Cruz??? I had a dream she and Simon Baz did back in 2016...I think haha
3. In Invasion's episode Darkest, Tommy Terror had a youthful appearance, but by Outsiders' episode True Heroes, despite retaining his muscle mass, Tommy's teeth have spread to include gaps, his cheeks have sunken in with wrinkle lines below the eyes and above the mouth...what happened? He's supposed to be 26!
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 version of Superman had been sent to New Genesis instead of Earth, what kind of person would he have grown up into, and what would have been his role in New Genesisian society? Also, would he have likely gained different Kryptonian powers under New Genesis' sun (assuming that each yellow sun in every solar system in the Earth-16 universe works differently)?
True or False in the Earth-16 Universe?
Kryptonians are vulnerable to magic because their powers occurred as a result of a natural phenomenon (under a yellow sun), rather than anything supernatural. This means that magic affects them the same way it affects anyone else; they'd be just as vulnerable to it as normal humans are.
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, Bane has a partial clone/"daughter" who goes by the name of Vengeance. Does a version of this character possibly exists in the Earth-16 universe? If true, is it also possible that the Earth-16 version of Bane does not yet know of her existence?
Mr. Weisman,
In the issue #5 of the seven-issue limited series, "Flashpoint Beyond," the Joker's real name was revealed as Jack Oswald White. In that issue, the Flashpoint version of Martha Wayne (who is that universe's version of the Joker) learned this information from Psycho-Pirate (Roger Hayden) before she killed him; she wanted to know about the differences between the Flashpoint universe and the mainstream DC Comics universe. With this major revelation about the Joker's true identity in the comics, does that now mean that Jack Oswald White is also the real name of the Earth-16 version of the Joker as well?
In regards to the Earth-16 version of the Kryptonian High Council, how many members did it consists of, and what were the names of its members?
Mr. Weisman,
The Young Justice Wiki states that Jason Todd took on the mantle of Robin, joined the Team, and died under unknown circumstances; all within the year of 2013. Assuming each of these three events occurred separately within that year, which exact month did each of these events took place? Also, in regards to Jason's death, I fully understand that you are likely NOT able to reveal the exact details/circumstances, but there is ONE thing that I strongly feel that we need to know for absolutely certainty: Was the Joker directly involved in Jason's death? I just need a yes/no to that particular question; not the how/why.
Questions in regards to Earth-16's Batwoman:
#1. When exactly did she come out as a lesbian?
#2. When exactly did she find out that her cousin, Bruce Wayne, was Batman?
#3. Before she decided to become Batwoman, what was her originally intended career path?
#4. Is her father, Colonel Jacob "Jake" Kane, currently aware that she is Batwoman? If so, how exactly does he feel about his daughter becoming a vigilante?
#5. In comparison to what is shown in the comics, what exactly happened to the Earth-16 versions of her mother (Gabrielle "Gabi" Kane) and her twin sister (Elizabeth "Beth" Kane)?
#6. Who are her previous and current love interests in the Earth-16 universe, and how long has she been in a relationship with each of them?
Mr. Weisman,
Using the link provided to you below, and looking at the "Kane Family Tree" diagram on that page, I would like you to please answer the following questions for me in regards to the Earth-16 version of the Kane Family in comparison to the version from the mainstream DC Comics universe.
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Kane_Family
#1. In the generation of the Kane family consisting of Martha and her four brothers (Nathan, Phillip, Jacob, and Bette Kane's as-of-yet unnamed father), what is the order of oldest to youngest sibling in the Earth-16 universe?
#2. What are the names of Bette Kane's parents in the Earth-16 universe; despite the fact they have not yet been named in the mainstream DC Comics universe?
#3. In your responses to previous postings regarding Bette Kane, it is only known that she has an unknown relation with both Martha Wayne and Kate Kane, and you do not seem to want to commit to anything beyond that. HOWEVER, if her place in the Kane family tree is the same as in the mainstream DC Comics universe, then that should mean that all her relationships with her other Kane family members outside of her own parents would be considered PATERNAL, correct?
#4. Even though he is not listed in the Kane family tree, is the Earth-16 version of Damian (son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul) considered to be the PATERNAL FIRST COUSIN, ONCE REMOVED of Kate Kane and Beth Kane (Kate's twin sister, and Jacob Kane's other daughter), and the PATERNAL FIRST COUSIN of Bette Kane? If not, then what are the three women's correct relationships with Damian in the Earth-16 universe?
I'm obsessed with the fact that the Al Ghuls sat back, looked at each other, looked back at the Light/the rest of the world, then decided to peace out to form a ninja commune on scenic Infinity Island, where they have daily ninja meditation drum circles and probably have access to amazing seafood. (And have taken it upon themselves to rehab the red hood(ed) ninja.)
What motivated this drastic change in lifestyle? Damian? Ra's getting saved by Artemis? A mix? Spoilers?
Thank you, sir!
If the Kaizer-Thrall could open up Boom Tubes (via Father Box or Mother Box) to another dimension like the Phantom Zone, then why did Lor-Zod need the Phantom Zone Projector?
Mr. Weisman,
If the full name of Earth-16's Bruce Wayne is NOT Bruce Thomas Wayne, then what is his actual full name?
Mr. Weisman,
I have recently read your response to my posting in regards to Bette Kane.
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=26372
My question to you is this: Why are you NOT able to commit on the information regarding Bette Kane?
The point of my previous posting to you was because I am curious as to how much the Earth-16 version of Bette Kane has in common with her mainstream DC Comics counterpart; from both her pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) and post-Flashpoint (Prime Earth) versions of herself. Essentially, I was simply trying to understand her place in the Kane family tree and her exact relationships to the rest of the members of her family. I mean, you have previously mentioned that she is related to Martha Wayne and Kate Kane, but what about Bruce Wayne and his son, Damian?
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 version of Bette Kane has some kind of relation to Martha Wayne and Kate Kane, does that also mean that Bette has some kind of relation to Bruce Wayne as well?
Arc 4 review! (Kaldur's story, so episodes 14-18 I think)
So I LOVE this arc. I love the Atlantean lore, I love the storytelling, I love the characterization and I love the way time is used.
I've always loved this version of Kaldur and Atlantis. I like it so much that when I rewatched Justice League (and Unlimited) this year, I liked their version of Atlantis & Aquaman so much solely because of how well presented they were in *this* show. Maybe that sounds weird, but it's true.
So this story to me, more than anything despite being "Kaldur's arc" is really a story about Atlantis. Kaldur is the pivotal character, the POV character, the hero who (kind of) saves the day, but it's really a story about the fate of Atlantis, and who should rule it. It's also, forgive me for putting it this way, but it "makes up for" the sort off-handed way Ocean Master got dealt with in season 3. In a really cool way. It wasn't really necessary, but I like it.
I love the way time is used in this arc. The fact that we start before the start point of arc 3, but then we cut to a few weeks later halfway through this arc is really cool. I also really love the mystery of the Return of Ocean Master. I cannot remember what I thought at the time, I don't know if I put much thought into it, and really only a clone is what makes sense. Well, I guess there're other things that make sense, especially since the Light transplanted the real Orm's brain into a new cloned body. So I suppose the sky's the limit on what the light is capable of.
I suppose one could think it a cheat, a way to bring back a character. But firstly, Orm's death wasn't like a super impactful thing that I feel like it undermines some important emotional moment. I think it only makes the Light seem more devious, that not only would they have their enforcer behead Orm, but they'd keep his brain around to use later for their own ends. So I don't think it's a cheat.
I really do like the way the show will find new ways to use old concepts. So the Light making new clones to develop even more insidious plans than it did before.
The Orm clone was a lot of fun too, and I really liked all the scenes between him and Orin. In fact, I LOVED all the Orin scenes in this arc in general. Orin sort of working out all of his issues with his brother, through his clone and giving clone-Orm a chance to have a different fate. I also like the way the Arion stuff from arc 3 (which seemed interesting but a bit superfluous at the time) and really uses it well here. The scene with the Tiara could be seen as a bit of a cliche, ala the Nazis opening the arc of the covenant, or really any story where an arrogant mortal man abuses the power of god, but it's such a triumphant moment I really don't care.
David Kaye does a really good job making Arion and Vandall sound like different people. I really get a strong sense of who Arion was in general.
The only REAL complaint I have about the arc is the lack of Mera. And that's not because I love Mera and think she needs to be more important, but just because the storytelling and the plot are really built around Mera. And in the end while making her Queen is both logical (i.e. it makes both her father and her husband happy) and is narratively satisfying with the prophecy angle, to a degree I wish we got more of a sense of what *she* thinks is going on, but she's really just a mouth piece for a prophecy, which I find less satisfying than I would like. It didn't hurt the story or the storytelling, and certainly Mera comes across as competent and heroic through out the story; but that's my minor quibble for the episode. I would have liked to have seen more of her perspective.
Kaldur's arc, which is something I think a lot of people kind of took umbrage with; I'm honestly totally fine with. Not wowed by it, but it's fine. It's honestly not really that important to the story because ultimately as I said, it's a story about *Atlantis*. And I've never really understood what it would add for Kaldur to have some lesson, or some theme, or have some transformation. Kaldur's whole thing is that he's *steady*. He's reliable, he's a good leader, he's a good mentor, he approaches problems and situations logically. By the end of this story, he's just worn out, he's just been working too hard and everyone is telling him to take it easy.
It's fine. I think "he's just *too stoic and capable*" is kind of a weird conflict to give a character because I think it's a tough thing to make relatable or to provide some dramatic tension. Kaldur really isn't showing any signs of fraying until the story's over, when he has his break down. And that's tragic and heartbreaking, but it comes a bit late in the arc to be emotionally effective I think. Again, I don't think this detracts from the story, but it feels like the sort of thing that maybe would have been more dramatically effective at the midpoint of the story. I'm not sure. I think it might have worked better, but I also don't think it's something Kaldur needs.
I think it's totally fine that Kaldur is just consistent and reliable. Seeing a bit of humanity and weakness at the end was fine too. I really don't see the problem with any of this. Like yeah, if I was breaking the story down using Saving the Cat or something I might say it's a weak arc for your main character, but I've really never bought into the idea that the character who transforms or changes or goes through the mud has to be your *main* character necessarily. It's okay for your lead to be steady, and for *another* character to go through that dramatic transition.
In this case I think it's Atlantis at large, and to an extent Orin/Arthur who really go through that transition. And it's super effective, as I mentioned above I *love* all the Orin scenes in this arc. I love the bit where the Sharks are circling like his muscle. I loved seeing Orin as a detective. It's all just really, really cool.
I really liked the epilogue with Vandal and Dr. Fate too. This is a sort of story archetype I'm seeing more and more (at least it was a big part of Toy Story 4 of all things --...and Mad Men). Where a male character who is used to being the decider discovers that things are kind of moving on from him, that the world maybe doesn't need him to take risks and make big decisions for it. I like it a lot, and I think it's very well placed here. And very thematic too, with Orin's arc in the story. Even Kaldur's arc really.
I think that's everything, I usually forget something I wanted to mention but I think that's everything.
Alex (or Aldrius)
Mr. Weisman,
In the current iteration of the mainstream DC Comics continuity (Prime Earth), Deadshot has two daughters, Zoe and Suchin; the former goes by the vigilante codename, Liveshot, and is an archer. As such, do both of Deadshot's daughters also exist in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,
I sincerely hope that Kara and Mary will not be the only two members of the new generation of Furies. I personally think there are other female DC Comics characters we haven't seen yet on Earth-16 who might also work out as potential recruits for the Furies. However, I will refrain from making any suggestions to you just in case you've already figured it out on your own.
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Ultra-Humanite:
#1. When he was originally a male scientist, what was his original name? Also, did he have any family at that time?
#2. What was the name of the woman whom he transferred his brain into, and did that woman have any family? Also, what happened to the woman's body after Ultra-Humanite's brain was transferred into the albino gorilla, Tolifhar?
#3. Why did Ultra-Humanite come up the brain transfer process in the first place? Was it because he wanted to cheat death and live forever? Or did his original human body suffered from some kind of terminal illness in which there was no cure?
Hey Greg,
How much of old school works like hamlet have influenced your work. Also how did Pete come up with his web fluid and shoters. The Netflix reshow got me thinking ð'on this.
did zatanna attend college?
What kind of support did Em'ree give M'gann when she came to Earth? I'm sorry to see that we didn't see more of Em'ree and M'gann during the latter half of Phantoms? Was it a hard adjustment for Em'ree being on Earth and whatever happened to her after the wedding? Did Em'ree go back to Mars after Season 4 or did she decide to continue living on Earth and if so is she still living with M'gann and Conner or has she moved out and found a place to live in Happy Harbour?
1. In the months when M'gann thought Conner was dead, how she did handle their anniversaries
*they got engaged
*when they first met
*getting back together
What did she do during those days and what did everyone do to help her during those rough times?
2. On the Team's 10 year anniversary, how did they spend the day? Were they altogether and if so did they do anything special to honor it, especially considering it was also the same day they met Conner and were still mourning him? It had to have been an extremely painful day for everyone. Rescuing Superboy was the Team's very first mission together. He was the reason they were altogether and the fact he was gone, really had to be extremely painful for everyone.
Is Bart Allen a person with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?
Hey Mr.weisman
One question and I hope it wouldn't offend you:
Why make Halo middle eastern and Muslim in Young Justice?
Denise Boutte once in an interview referred to Lynn Stewart-Pierce as "Doctor". Does this stand true in the YJ Continuity?
how in regards to bart s2, how much does he know whats going on/plan for?
for instance, losing the fight to nightwing and robin and did he know mal was going to be there right then?
did he know aqualad wanst really a traitor and artemis was alive?
how much was he winging of his "change the past" plan, how detailed was his knowledge prior to traveling back in time?
Did Gar know his mother was Lesbian/Bisexual?
Why didn't you give Conner and M'gann a reunion kiss in the last episode of season 4 after the battle ended or was their wedding kiss also serving as their reunion kiss and if so did they want that way to make it more special since it was their first kiss since being reunited together?
In an effort to restart the investigation since the case ran cold, did the original team or justice league ever ask Miss Martian access to her memories on the days leading up to Conner's death?
1. Who attended the lighting ceremony of Superboy's memorial hologram aboard the Watchtower aside from Dick and Kaldur?
2. When M'gann went to visit Conner's memorial for the first time, did she go by herself or did the entire original team go with her for support? Also were any members of the Justice League, Team or Outsiders also present to offer their support to Miss Martian and show their respect to Superboy?
3. Why did Bear wait to so long to offer his sympathizes for Conner's death considering how close they were?
4. What are the favourite Disney films of the original team members and why?
Has Black Lightning taken Livewire under his wing as his protege like Static?
Will you guys have Mgann be called Mrs Martian instead of Miss since she officially married Conner?
How come Tye, Asami, and Arsenal never went to the Harvest Festival that was being held at the Meta-Human Youth Center during the episode "Illusion of Controlâ?
Hey Greg! I have been in the Gargoyles fandom for at least a few years, and I've got a question about something almost everyone I've talked to in the fandom, including myself, believe in, and I'm curiousif it's true. Do Gargoyles purr or at least have the ability to do so?
Hi Greg I'd like to ask just two questions: 1) Can Shazam shoot lightning from your hands? I've never seen him do that at any point in the series? 2) Is Superman the Physically Strongest Hero on Earth - 16? Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil :)
1. Why did Superboy go with Miss Martian to the Hall of Justice to interrogate the Krolotean in Alienated? What was the point of it since he didn't/couldn't really stop her from abusing her powers or what she did the alien?
2. By season 3/4, does M'gann look back in disgust over how she was in season 2? How she acted, everything she did and especially everyone she hurt? She was the WORST version of herself in season 2. How did you about her storyline in that season?
What year did the team stop having den mothers in the cave (if they ever did)? Did they stop using den mothers when some of the older members (like Kaldur) became adults, or when the JL felt like the team could operate mostly independently?
I'd assume the productions of both YJ and the Green Arrow short were happening simultaneously, so I wonder when Perdita was created. Is she original for YJ or Green Arrow's showcase? Has Brandon had any hand in her creation?
Mr. Weisman,
Just for clarification, the Earth-16 versions of Hawkman and Hawkwoman do NOT have the ability to reincarnate after they die (just like their comic book counterparts); am I correct? As such, that would also mean they were also NOT members of the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, when did Hawkwman and Hawkwoman first arrived on Earth? Please give an exact date (mm/dd/yyyy), if possible.
Mr. Weisman,
Since Saturn Girl, Phantom Girl, and Chameleon Boy were finally able to go home to the 31st century in the Season 4 finale, will the technology from that time period be able to repair the burn damage on Phantom Girl's right hand?
Regarding this ask https://s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=26325
Does yoir answer mean that Jade was still with Roy in YJ Legacy? Because you said that the main reason Jade left him was that she found out she was pregnant and he couldn't focus on them. But here you're saying she fled the Shadows because she realized she was pregnant. Something is not adding up. Does that mean that she left Roy (for whatever reason), joined the Shadows again, AND THEN found out she was pregnant and left them? I apologize if this question comes out as rude. I just want some clarity regarding this topic.
Mr. Weisman,
In a flashback, the Outsiders fought against Kobra near a radio tower, but there were no specifics as to where this fight took place on Earth. If this happened somewhere in the United States, can you please give the specific location? Also, can you please tell us what exactly led up to the fight in the first place (because I want to know how the Outsiders found out what Kobra was up to)?
So in a previous response you said "No, there aren't two bodies per character, with one in storage, as in Miracleman. Their bodies are transformed magically when they say, "Shazam!". But when asked about whether he would need to get two cure chips for both Billy and Captain Marvel or just giving Billy one would do the trick, you said "I'm sure they took no chances.". So did the team and justice league give him two cure chips to ensure no possibility of mind control despite only having one would do the trick simply out of paranoia. Can you explain this, I am having a little doubt whether to think of Captain Marvel and Billy as the same physical body or is it more the magical augmentation will also have the control chip in it even after the form disappears. Basically is the health and physical state of Billy Batson(fractures, mind control or just the flu) influence his Captain Marvel form(Captain Marvel having a fracture for instance) and vica versa.
Assuming Jason's personality is the same in the Earth-16 universe as it is in the comics, was he brought into the Team by Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson in the hopes that learning how to be a team player and making friends with others around his age would help get Jason to simmer down on his anger and violent tendencies? Did it actually help Jason to some degree; even though he ultimately died? Also, given his personality, did Black Canary had to talk to Jason a lot in comparison to the other young heroes, and did that frustrate her at times?
If Wonder Girl's father is Zeus in the Earth-16 universe, does that mean all of Zeus' siblings are Wonder Girl's paternal half-aunts and paternal half-uncles, all of Zeus' children are Wonder Girl's paternal half-brothers and paternal half-sisters, and all the children of Zeus' siblings are Wonder Girl's paternal half-cousins?
#1. At the time when he first encountered the Justice Society of America, what was Vandal Savage trying to do, and how did the JSA managed to defeat him?
#2. Aside from Vandal Savage, what other dangerous supervillains did the JSA encountered before they eventually disbanded?
Did Superboy spend much time in Smallville? I got the implication he and the Kents were pretty familiar. Is his connection to Clark as his "brother" known to people outside the team/family?
Arc 3 "Zatanna" ramble
So, this arc is strange to me. In a good way. Lately I've sort of been trying to think of arcs and stories in terms of a core dramatic question. What is the story asking? And what is the answer? Normally to my observation the question is usually asked by the end of the halfway mark of the story, with the answer coming at the end. In some form or another.
This arc is strange because it answers the question before it's even really been properly asked.
So in effect, this story is a Dr. Fate story I think. That was the strongest element to me, that was the most important part, it was certainly the one I actively cared about the most (it's really an arc that's been going on since near the beginning of season 1). The dramatic question as such, is "are Zatanna's students worthy to take up the mantle of Dr. Fate?". But that question isn't *really* asked until the very end of the story after they've dealt with Child. And by that point the question has already, very clearly I'd say, been answered. They are. (except for Mary)
So I really like that element of the story structure, that it sort of works in reverse. Really different.
The Chaos Lord stuff just isn't really my thing, I think is what it comes down to. I like the primordial element, I like the reinterpretation of Klarion, but the body horror and the smug ageless child thing isn't my taste. (It's possible Black Lagoon ruined it for me, though.) But I do really like the mythic elements here, the need for a familiar, the way different familiars manifest. I even sort of like the idea of the Lords of Order and Chaos holding court (sometimes with one another). And I think it's cool that Vandal Savage sort of solved the problem through diplomacy. Though I think his argument was a bit obvious (though I guess it wasn't to the Lords of Chaos).
The mindscape stuff in the middle of the arc was a bit odd to me. Mindscapes have always been a Weisman classic, so I wasn't particularly surprised to see them here. These were pretty effective and at times creepy, but I kind of wish we'd gotten this information in a more traditional way. I think the main thing that threw me off here was the placement of them. They sort of come in the middle of the action, when things are extremely desperate, It's an odd time to take a break to do some character development. In fact the whole pattern of the arc is odd to me. It's almost constant rising of stakes, and then when things are at their most intense, we sort of wander off to focus on some down time. Either meeting Jason Blood, or Dr. Fate, or the stuff with Klarion and the bus.
Then there was the stuff with Zatara. Now, I think partly the purpose of the stuff with Zatara, or my impression of it was to make Zatara less of a prop. Zatara potentially could be nothing more than an objective for Zatanna. She's got to rescue her nice, but unremarkable father from despotic forces. I think that's a good intention, but again came in at an odd time in the story. It also sort of muddled the through line of the storytelling in a way I wasn't the biggest fan of.
Because ultimately, while I think I'd argue it is a Zatanna, Dr. Fate Zatara story, I'm not sure it's important to really understand Zatara beyond the fact that Zatanna cares about him. And I don't really begrudge the storytelling that indulgence, I'm not an essentialist the way some people are, but I just think this story already has so many characters and subplots going on it winds up just being another layer to contextualize and care about and the show is already asking a lot. It didn't need to work this hard to make me care about Zatara, or to explain Zatara. I already care about Zatara and Zatanna.
The religious elements too, I think I'm not sure what to think of. I'm not a religious person, and Christianity in particular makes me very uncomfortable. So the shot of Nabu and Zatara facing off with an Ankh and a cross behind them made me chuckle a bit. Just because it reminded me of a narmy 70s comic cover (was it based on a cover actually?). But I think religion is a *very* big topic, and it's hard to kind of compartmentalize in this sort of story. Like, for me, what's important about Khalid's story isn't his relationship with magic, or with god, but his relationship with his mother. Which there isn't time or space to explore because of how ambitious this arc is. So it kind of just gets boiled down to him feeling pressure to choose something, and him deciding he doesn't have to choose. And I wish we got more context for that. Though there's an obvious irony in him being pressured into becoming a doctor and ending up as doctor fate, obviously. I'm less enamored with that now a few months later than I was when I watched it, but I still appreciate it.
One other thing I wanna comment on, because I've seen this criticism that this isn't really Zatanna's story. Which I suppose is true. I've seen this idea put forth by a lot of youtubes and film critic-type people, the idea of sort of the want/need and the core narrative of a character. Like because Zatanna doesn't transform, or learn something, or realize an unrealized need it's not her story. She knows what she wants at the beginning of the arc, and she knows how she wants to get it. And things just kind of... fall into place after that and she gets what she wants, the story wouldn't really have been that different if Zatanna had just knocked on Dr. Fate's door and had a conversation with him about cycling hosts. Which means perhaps the story is less dynamic and connected than it could be, but I don't think that's a *problem* necessarily.
Because ultimately the transformation is Dr. Fate's. This is a story about Dr. Fate. And I think that's good. Your P.O.V. character or protagonist doesn't necessarily need to be the character to whom things are happening.
It's interesting because I think this is also *very* reflected in Kaldur's arc.
I've rewritten this like 4 times to try and make it sound as constructive and not negative as possible, and I think I failed miserably at that, but there *is* a lot I liked about this arc. It's generally stuff that's just... always good, though. The characters are well drawn out, the conflicts are endearing, the story's creative, the global scope was impressive. It wasn't petty, it felt like everything was consequential. I still love this show's take on doctor fate *a lot*. I liked that we got a resolution to the Dr. Fate arc that started so many years ago.
So... yeah, I liked it. The Kaldur arc was my favourite of the season, though, so I'm looking forward to writing that ramble.
Spectacular Spider-Man is one of my most favourite shows and it sucks it only got 2 seasons. I read online that you wanted it to have 5 seasons so how come it got cancelled and is there any hope of it getting at least 1 more season ?
1) Does the supervillain named Metallo exist in Earth-16?
2) Does the female supervillain named Giganta exist in Earth-16?
3) Does the alien supervillain named Sinestro exist in Earth-16 and was a former member of the Green Lantern Corps who went rogue and became one of their enemies?
4) Does the supervillain named Solomon Grundy exist in Earth-16?
5) Does the supervillain named Tar Pit (Joey Monteleone) exist in Earth-16?
6) Does the Supervillain Team called the Royal Flush Gang exist in Earth-16?
Mr. Weisman,
Going through the "Unanswered Questions," I noticed that there are a few people who are getting things mixed up with the possible relationships between Bruce Wayne and his other family members in the Kane family tree in Earth-16 universe. To settle the matter once and for all, can you please confirm if the following information below is correct?
#1. From Bruce Wayne's point of view, his maternal cousins are Kate Kane, Beth Kane, and Bette Kane. His maternal uncles would therefore be Jacob Kane (Kate's and Beth's father) and Bette's unnamed father.
#2. From Kate Kane's and Beth Kane's point of view, their paternal cousins are Bruce Wayne and Bette Kane. Their paternal aunt would therefore be Martha Wayne (Bruce's mother), and their paternal uncle would therefore be Bette's unnamed father.
#3. From Bette Kane's point of view, her paternal cousins are Kate Kane, Beth Kane, and Bruce Wayne. Her paternal aunt would therefore be Martha Wayne (Bruce's mother), and her paternal uncle would therefore be Jacob Kane (Kate's and Beth's father).
I have a question about Young Justice's "Endgame."
1. Why didn't Hawkman say something to defend Shayera? Idk it just seems kind of out of character for him not to say anything at all.
Does superboy feel responisble for garfield's beakup with up with queen perditia after all garfield believe he cause conner to die ?
This isn't really a serious question and I hope this wouldn't be something too spoiler-y, but since returning to 1997, have Brooklyn and/or Gnash ever sat down whenever a new show/episode comes on for the first time saying that it's a classic much to Lex and Broadway's confusion like the Marty McFly meme?
I remember the statement that Mars has an overpopulation issue. Approximately how big is the Martian population in 2020(a.k.a. Team Year Ten)?
If something were to happen to deathstroke would lady Shiva become the head of the shadows?
Hey Mr. Weisman.
I just wanted to let you know that I am going to keep on giving my support to save Young Justice.
#SaveEarth16
Is Nightwing related to the Crownes on Earth-16?
Hi, Greg. I'm from Brazil, so, sorry for any misspelling (English is still my second language and i speak, listen and read more than I write). A few questions after watching season 4 of Young Justice:
1- Tim and Steph looked very cudly on the wedding scene. Was that an indication that they're together now?
2- If Ollie is broke since season 1, how did he still used all those trick arrows? The League? Bruce? I'm considering its something expensive and that i can't just buy on a regular sporting goods shop
3- I remember Rocket talking about Orion as Darkseid's child. Since there wasn't any (at least seen) conflict between the heroes and Darkseid, do they know about him because of the conflict at the orphanage? They've been doing some digging? Reports from the GL Corps? I assume they know everything about Granny Goodness, at least, and there was that conflict in Season 1 involving Desaad, but i could be forgetting something and don't believe any Darkseid loyalist would rat on him
Those were the questions. Thank u for your time. Hoping for a season 5 and, if not, that whatever new product you develop be as awesome as spectacular spidey, gargoyles and YJ (just need to finish gargoyles on Disney Plus)
1. In the House of El family tree, Kal-El and Kara Zor-El would be PATERNAL cousins because their respective fathers, Jor-El and Zor-El, are brothers. However, what would be Kara's exact relationship with both Kon-El and Johnny Kent; even though they are also likely PATERNAL?
2. In the Kane family tree, Bruce Wayne would the MATERNAL cousin of Kate Kane and Bette Kane; while Kate Kane and Bette Kane would be the PATERNAL cousins of Bruce Wayne. Both cases are because Bruce's mother, Kate's father, and Bette's father are siblings. However, what would be Kate's and Bette's exact relationship with Bruce's and Talia's son, Damian?
PS. I understand if you might get put off with questions associated with PATERNAL and MATERNAL relationships, but I'm just trying to make sure of the accuracy of such familial relationships in the Earth-16 universe; in comparison to the character's counterparts in the mainstream DC Universe (New Earth/Prime Earth).
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of the location known as Skartaris (a hollow world inhabited by various prehistoric creatures and mythical creatures)?
What would've happened if the Rimbor 6 remembered what they did?

How did garfield logan travel to the location were the doom patrol members died when he finds out they have died? How soon after the doom patrol members died did Garfield start living with miss martian at mount justice?
I've just checked the Archives and I couldn't find the answer to this question... Which year did Steve Dayton take custody of Garfield Logan and cause him to leave the Team? Was it Team Year Six, or Team Year Seven?
Mr. Weisman,
I have read on the internet that you also want a fifth season of "Young Justice" and you are encouraging the fans to rally in order to save the show. However, what if that is NOT enough? Let me give you two examples of similar situations:
Example #1: Ruby Rose, who portrayed Kate Kane in the now-canceled CW TV series, "Batwoman," left the show after its first season. Caroline Dries, the showrunner, initially wanted to recast the character, but then she decided NOT to after she received some advice from Greg Berlanti. Fans demanded that Kate Kane be recasted, and then they became upset when Kate Kane was replaced by an original character named Ryan Wilder. This action caused Kate Kane fans to believe that Caroline Dries was disrespecting the Batwoman source material. Kate Kane would eventually revealed to be recast midway through the show's second season, but by the end of the second season finale, she left again; much to the disappointment of the Kate Kane fans. Essentially, had Caroline Dries listened to the fans and recast Kate Kane right away (as opposed to replacing her with an original character), the show would not have been so terrible and would not have ended up being canceled after its third season.
Example #2. After Chadwick Boseman died in 2020, Kevin Feige announced that he would NOT recast T'Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Those who wanted the character recast started an online petition which gathered a very large number of signatures. However, when the first trailer and the movie synopsis for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" came out during Comic-Con 2022, it was revealed that T'Challa was permanently killed off. I have seen some very angry reactions on Twitter as a result of this. The idea of T'Challa being killed off in the MCU is utterly ridiculous/disgraceful because it robs us of watching his further character development and the relationships/connections that he made with the other characters in the MCU.
The point of me addressing these examples to you is to clearly show that ever since COVID-19 hit the United States, I have observed that people in the movie and television industries do NOT appear to listen to the comic book fans at all; since they cannot go outside and publicly protest on things such as this. These days, such people appear to stick by their decisions and don't seem to care what other people think. As such, I fear that HBO Max will be just the same, and "Young Justice" will likely be officially canceled; despite the efforts of the fans.
Quick question regarding the Genomorphs: I know Superboy, Red Arrow, and Guardian were created using the DNA of Superman and Speedy respectively, but what DNA was used to make the other six Genomorph types, such as the G-Goblins, G-Gnomes, G-Trolls, G-Elves, G-Dwarves, and G-Sprites?
I have a few questions regarding Clark and Loisâ relationship:
1. When did they first meet?
2. When did Lois learn Clark was Superman?
3. When did they get married?
4. When they got married, is Loisâ surname Lane, Kent, or Lane-Kent?

Why was Queen Perdita allowed to use the zeta tubes to travel? What year did Perdita start using the zeta tubes to travel in young justice universe?
Why is it that Miss Martian's bridesmaids dresses are all red but yet they aren't wearing the same kind of dress compared to Superboy's groomsmen who are all wearing identical suits to that of the grooms? Is it to kinda represent the bride and groom in a way, considering how Conner doesn't wear anything else besides his usual clothes and almost nothing else?
I only recently noticed the tag necklace around Tye Longshadowâs neck. Does it have any significance and if so, where did Tye get them from?
Hi Greg !
1. Has Shiva ever tried to kill Barbara, or hurt her in any way for taking her daughter away from her ?
2. Is Zatanna dating someone ? Or is she interested in someone ?
How long on average is the script for an episode of Young Justice (in pages)? Also, out of curiosity, how long was the script for an average episode of Gargoyles?
Since YJ is cancelled can you reveal all the designations?
Mr. Weisman,
So I'm hearing that HBO Max NOT having any plans for a fifth season of "Young Justice does NOT necessary means that the show has been canceled. However, in my honest opinion, I feel that this is HBO Max's cowardly attempt to refuse to admit the truth about the show's cancellation. If true, it would not be the first time something like this has happened. Back in 2020, The CW did a backdoor pilot for "Green Arrow and the Canaries," which was supposed to be a spin-off of "Arrow." During that year, I occasionally read on the internet that a decision was still being made. Then, in January 2021, it was announced that "Green Arrow and the Canaries" was not picked up by the CW. It was later revealed that month that the spin-off was decided not to be picked up the moment that COVID-19 hit the United States. Essentially, The CW had LIED to its viewers and hid the truth for a full year. So, if HBO Max won't admit the truth that "Young Justice" is cancelled, it probably won't end up well for the fanbase if the truth ultimately comes out months or a year later, and that would make HBO Max just as bad as The CW. I truly hope you have a contingency plan to save "Young Justice" if this ends up being true.
What happened to Hawkman and Hawkwoman's wing colors? They both turned grey after season 2.
Hi Greg,
I just had a question regarding Meta-humans. Is the term meta-human reserved only for those who carry the meta-gene or is it used for anyone who manages to gain superpowers?
Are there any characters in Earth-16 who identify as Asexual?(Experience little or no sexual attraction towards others)
1. What is the average lifespan of a Rannian?
2. What is the average lifespan of a Thanagarian?
3. What is the average lifespan of a Atlantean?
How old is Forager during Team Year Ten?
How old is Green Lantern Forager during Team Year Ten?
First off I want to thank you for creating this amazing show called Gargoyles it was a big part of my childhood watched it a lot an are currently binge watching it on Disney Plus but I know you donât own it anymore but I wanted to get your thoughts on how awesome it would be to see this show become a live action film or show? I think it would be badass but if not I would still like to see the cartoon show start back up I just think with Disney doing all these live action movies to add Gargoyles to that would be amazing and do really well it has a great story amazing characters who wouldnât want to see that come to life in a major motion picture! I know I would only if it was done right a kept the same storyline start off in Middle Ages tell their story there then bring them to the city Iâve been thinking about it a lot lol but just wanted to get your thoughts since you created it!
Hi Greg!
1) Does Green Lantern Forager have a designation, since she was on the Watchtower in "Zenith and Abyss"?
2) Does the Kaizer-Thrall/Danny Chase have a designation, since he was on the Watchtower in "Zenith and Abyss"? He is sentient (and this was known to GL Forager before she brought him to the Watchtower) so I wonder whether he was given a designation when he arrived on the Watchtower, despite appearing to be a floating box to those who did not know him.
3) If Green Lantern Forager and/or Kaizer Thrall/Danny Chase were given designations on this occasion, what are their designations (if you would not mind revealing them, please)? We know that the next designations were A-50 (J'emm J'axx) and A-51 (Phantom Girl), so it seems likely that one or both of the preceding designations (A-48 and A-49) went to GL Forager and/or KT/Danny Chase if they were given Zeta access. Of course, I can't be sure of this since access may have been overriden for them as it was for Cheshire in "Artemis Through the Looking Glass". But I thought this might be worth asking about! :)
What was the inspiration behind Hawkwoman and Hawkman's accents?
Christopher Jones has corrected me and a lot of other YJ fans. YJ has not been cancelled. It simply has not been renewed - YET. Apparently there is a difference. I should have known better. Still, I do wonder why a renewal is in doubt. The show was financially successful, so what else matters? Am I wrong?
What was the inspiration behind Phantom Girlâs accent?
have you ever considered working with Brandon Vietti on a project not related to Earth-16? trying to pitch something for other companies?
what makes YJ so great is the fact that you guys make a goddamn good duo and I really hope to see you working together for as long as you can work
I'll always keep binging YJ and trying to save Earth-16, but the thing is that, with all this current Warner's merge chaos and disrespect with animation-related workers (I don't know what it will be when you read this, but it's really worrying right now), I fear for YJ characters because they all belong to DC and DC belongs to Warner, so (if I understand this correctly) you couldn't even try to pitch something E-16 related to another company
but maybe we could get the chance of seeing Grandon work together once again with an all-original universe with all-original characters and that would be great
How long does it take for a New Genesis Bug and Apokolips Hunger Dog to age 1 human year? Also, what are the ages of:

How long exactly are the lifespans of Martian wildlife, such as:
1. Bio-Ships
2. Maâalefaâaks
3. Maâarphin Beasts
4. Maâarzuu Beasts
I have a few questions regarding the lifespans of some of Earth-16âs alien species. How many years is the equivalent of 1 human year for:
1). The New Gods
2). The New Genesis Bugs
3. The Hunger Dogs
Please don't let Young Justice be canceled again. We (As in me and the other YJ fans) have been waiting for years for its revival and we don't wanna see go away again. So please do something to make sure it doesn't get canceled and gets renewed for a Season 5 somehow.
When Bear said he was about 16,000 years old, does that mean heâs the human biological equivalent of 16?
Is it true that Young Justice is canceled again.
Hay Greg,i know your getting alot of these question but i was wondering if young justice has been canceled or if its still up in the air?
Quick question: Is Cassandra Savage a meta-human? If yes, what are her powers?
This is a question regarding how Mâgann and Dinah conducts their therapy sessions
1. How do they choose who to counsel, is it based on their relationship with the person (e.g can Dinah counsel Ollie being his partner? Or Mâgann with Conner), the age of the person, or who the person opens up to the most?
2. Can members of the League, Team and Outsiders choose who theyâd rather talk to for their mental health check-in?
3. Can a person be counselled by both Mâgann and Dinah at different times? (e.g, is Zatara allowed to be counselled by Mâgann after being counselled by Dinah)
4. Do Dinah and Mâgann share with each other their counselling sessions?
5. Does Jefferson, being the leader of the League currently, have a say on who is allowed to be on active duty? Or does he trust Mâgann and Dinah to make that decision themselves?
@Greg_Weisman
1.What is up with the one shot in 1x10 when Cheshire fights Red arrow and spinkicks him and flips back? because wow someone really made that and it really got on tv lol. Also People keep asking are they ever going to do a shot or scene like that again
2.its cool the animation is mostly the same as s1 and even on teen Titans but it updates the quality was that intentional or just it looks cool. Also how many seasons do you think will happen? Sorry for the long question
If Dick became Nightwing in 2015 and Barbara became Batgirl also in 2015, does that mean they never worked together under Batman and only really worked with each other on the Team?
Considering we arenât getting a fifth season will there be more comics for Young Justice or are we stuck with a cliff hanger that will never be addressed?
What does Nightwing do in his life? Is he going to college or does he work in security like he does in some comics? Just curious because we know that Conner makes a living fixing Motorcycles, Megan is a school counselor, and Artemis teaches, so what is Dickâs profession?
A fan recently asked you on Twitter whether Matt Bluestone is part of the Gargoyle "family" or just a friend/ally, and you replied that he's an ally.
This made me wonder about Elisa. I think all of the Manhattan gargoyles would consider Elisa to be part of the clan, but I wondered if you could elaborate when you think that realization happened for each of them.
Thank you!
I probably know the answer, but Iâll ask anyway given the news that HBO is not picking up season 5. Was there ever any plans or discussion about bringing Wally back?
Hi!
1) Is Robin dating Spoiler now?
2) Is Nightwing and Oracle still dating?
3) Even though Robin and Wondergirl broke up are they on good terms with each other or is that relationship still strained?
4) Did Jade ever go home?
As of this writing, we have been told that Warner Bros. has no plans to produce a fifth season of Young Justice which is just another way of saying the series has been cancelled. It doesn't make any sense. Why would WB not renew a well-performing show?
I understand this decision is above your pay-grade, but can you offer us an educated guess as to why this decision was made? Because it seems illogical to me. Is there any harm in speculating?
What was the name of the horse Vandal Savage was riding as Genghis Khan in "Evolution"
Is what I've been reading on the internet true? Is "Young Justice" being canceled again for the GODDAMN SECOND TIME?! And it is all because of that GODDAMN WARNER-DISCOVERY MERGER and that GODDAMN BASTARD, DAVID ZASLAV?! Until I've seen official news/confirmation of the cancellation of "Young Justice" on "Greg's Rambles," I am NOT going to believe this complete and utter bullshit!
Mr. Weisman,
as of the time of this posting, I just read a CBR article on the internet that suggests that "Young Justice" may NOT be renewed for a fifth season. The link is provided below:
https://www.cbr.com/young-justice-hbo-max-no-plans-season-5/
My question for you is this: What are you going to do now? You are not going to stand by and just let this happen, are you...? Please tell me you have some kind of contingency plan for this situation and that "Young Justice" will somehow continue in animated form...?
Is La'gan,Coral and Rodunn's baby a boy or a girl?
What was the date and year Roy Harper, the original speedy, become Green Arrow's partner? What was the date and year Roy was abducted for project cadmus? When is his birthday?
Since it's implied at the end of Phantoms that White Martians are ancestors of the Durlan species , I wanted to ask if Chameleon Boy, as a Durlan, ages similarly to Martians in the sense he ages slower compared to humans? Or do Durlans age at what we consider an average rate?
1) Why did no one think to put Arsenal in therapy during Young Justice Season 2? In one of the shows that averts the "There Are No Therapists" trope, it's kind of foolish for them to let him work on the Team and kick him off when he can't cope when he clearly needs psychiatric help. If a guy attempts suicide, you don't chew him out for risking his teammates, you ship him off to Black Canary until he gets a clean bill of mental health and I'm sure Black Canary could've helped Arsenal perfectly (Especially after seeing how she helped Garfield during season 4 in the episode "Forbidden Secrets of Civilizations Past!") and let's be clear that deep down Arsenal still had good in him and that he was never a lost cause who's beyond redemption like that Pure Evil Martian low-life Ma'alefa'ak/M'comm M'orzz and maybe Geo-Force/Brion Markov.
2) While he's still hot-blooded, he seems to have mellowed out a lot during the two-year time skip between Young Justice Seasons 2 and 3. Does that mean Arsenal is now a Jerk with a Heart of Gold (A jerkish character who is deep down a good or at least decent person)?
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JerkWithAHeartOfGold
A few questions about Noble Davis?
1) Was he Rocket's fiancee during Season 2: Invasion?
2) How old is he?
2a) Is there some kind of age gap between him and Rocket? In the episode "Encounter on Upon the Razor's Edge", Noble said he knew Rocket when 'she' was Amistad's age, not when they were both Amistad's age. Does that mean he's older than her by a few years, or am I just seeing things?
Do you think you'll ever do more stories with the characters from the season 1 episode "Secrets"?
More specifically, Harm and Secret.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. In the Earth-16 universe, are Slade Wilson's combat abilities purely natural skill (with years of training, of course), or are they a result of a failed medical experiment that he volunteered in like in the comics? If it is the former, then please explain in detail as to why the latter didn't seem to make sense to you for the Earth-16 version of the character.
#2. Was Slade Wilson former military like in the comics? If so, what was his highest rank?
#3. When exactly did Slade Wilson become a mercenary in the Earth-16 universe?
#4. When exactly did Slade Wilson first crossed paths with the Light, and what were his initial impressions of the group?
#5. Who is the person responsible from the loss of Slade Wilson's eye, and why exactly did they do that to him?
Have you ever thought of doing a Young Justice movie?
Mr. Weisman,
Considering the last line of "Young Justice: Targets" Issue #3 is "... it's been Lex Luthor all along," I'm wondering if you got that idea from the "Agatha All Along" song from the MCU TV series, "WandaVision"? Seriously though, the last line makes me want to think up a similar song for Lex Luthor, but I can't think up any good lyrics for the song in my head...
Mr. Weisman,
I'm calling it now: I think that Perdita somehow got switched out with an imposter or robot who is currently posing as her after she got kidnapped in "Young Justice: Targets." The answer as to why this is happening will obviously be answered by the time this posting gets a response, but I'd still like to know as to why you specifically chose to put Perdita through this ordeal; especially since she and Beast Boy are no longer in a relationship by the end of Season 4?
Is there one specific literature classic you wanted to tackle through action cartoons but not had the chance yet?
Can you tell us anything about Young Justice's Tim Drake's background before he became Robin that wouldn't be considered a spoiler?
Did lady Shiva train any other children from an early age either before or after orphan joined the bat family?
What is the status of the war between the reach and the green lantern corp? Since we havenât heard anything about it in season 4 is it still ongoing?
Out of all the worlds in the Earth-16 universe that had a yellow sun in their solar systems, why did Jor-El and Lara specifically sent Kal-El to Earth? I mean, did Jor-El visited Earth before during his youth? Or was it because information via Kryptonian probes sent into space showed that humans were the only race in the universe that were visually identical to Kryptonians (in terms of physical appearances, skin color, etc.)?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, does Jonathan Kent have a brother named Harry Kent, and a sister-in-law named Sarah "Sal" Kent?
Mr. Weisman,
1. In the Earth-16 universe, is Jonathan Kent's full name addressed as Jonathan Nathaniel Kent; like his DCEU counterpart?
2. In the Earth-16 universe, what is Martha Clark-Kent's middle name?
3. In the Earth-16 universe, what are the names of the parents of Jonathan and Martha Kent, respectively?
Hi, Greg!
I wanted to ask for a little more detail on how the Legionnaires were able to be rescued? I know Brainy said there was a 99.84% chance the timeline was substantially restored, if things were changed AT ALL (Ursa getting away, Vandal getting all the Kryptonians, etc), wouldn't that mean that even if they went back to their era it wouldn't be exactly like they remember? That there would be other versions of them in this new timeline? I know I might be needlessly overthinking, and I'm sorry if this is a bother, but I just wanted to ask for clarification on how it all works since the time travel was more involved in Phantoms than Invasion.
Hi Greg, my questionâs in relation to Young Justice S4. Itâs not even a plot relevant question, more of a silly one in regards to the finale. As a wrestling fan, I wanna know: In canon, how did Nightwing learn about blade jobs?
1) Stumbled across it on whatever version of YouTube they have on Earth 16?
2) Went through a wrestling phase?
3) Halyâs Circus held a show in a carnival with wrestlers and Dick learned a few of their secrets by watching?
4) None of the above?
Whatever the answer is, thank you for your time. Love this show SO much, thank you and everyone who helped make it.
Hi again, Greg! :)
1) In "Depths", La'gaan says to Artemis, "I relish this opportunity to finally fight beside you, archer". Is there an in-universe reason for the fact that Lagoon Boy joined the Team in Team Year Four and Artemis left in Team Year Five but they didn't fight alongside one another in all that time? If so, what's the reason/what happened?
2) The Doom Patrol died in Team Year Five and Beast Boy is on the Team in February of Team Year Five (as he's present in Legacy). It seems a little bit doubtful that Gar would join the Team within a month or so of the Doom Patrol's demise, so I wonder: did Gar join the Team (if only part-time basis) while Elastigirl, Negative Woman and Chief were still alive? After all, you've said that Gar didn't go on every Doom Patrol mission, so it seems plausible that there could have been a time when he was a member of BOTH teams, if only perhaps on a part-time basis. Is this what happened?
3) I'm really curious about the fact that Mary Bromfield abused her powers (by spending too much time as Sergeant Marvel) and M'gann M'orzz was abusing her own telepathic powers by the time of Team Year Six. Possible spoiler request here, but is there a connection between what happened to these two girls in terms of how they abused their respective powers during the five-year gap?
Why did Roy Harper choose to come to view his clone Will Harper as his brother by the time of young justice outsiders?
Was the light the one who put deathstroke in charge of the shadows? If the anwser is yes Why did they consider him the most qualifies over other Shadow members like lady Shiva?
Did the light ever consider that some of their members might need to be replaced before ocean masterâs imprisonment?
1. Iâm a bit confused about the YJ version of Ultra-Humanite. Was Ultra-Humanite born as a human male, then transferred his brain to a human woman to extend his life, then transferred his brain again to a gorilla (like in the comics)? Or was he born as a human female who transferred his brain to a gorilla? I donât think the tie-in comics confirm or refute either scenario.
2. Why didnât he just stay human? I donât really see any pros in becoming a gorilla.
Thanks!
Mr. Weisman,
In the current iteration of the DC Comics universe, Hippolyta's sisters are Antiope, Atalanta, and Astarte. Is this true in the Earth-16 universe as well? Also, amongst the sisters, what is the order from oldest to youngest? Finally, in the current iteration of the DC Comics universe, their mother's name was Alcippe (alternatively known as Antiope when she founded the tribe of the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall) and their aunt's name was Atalanta. Is this also true in the Earth-16 universe as well?
Hafiz,
Thank you for response and being honest with your beliefs. I think you have great taste in authors and we would probably have a lot talk about as long as we didn't discuss religion or politics.
Original ideas question so the moderators delete this:
I think the Team should open a travel agency and use the Bio-Ship and Zeta Tubes to compete with the already overpriced airlines.
Mr. Weisman,
When Vandal Savage sent an invitation to the other initial members of the Light to join him, were any of them ever initially hesitant/skeptical about the offer and asked Vandal Savage, "What's in it for me?"
Questions in regards to Earth-16's James Gordon:
#1. Is his full name James Worthington "Jim" Gordon?
#2. When did he first joined the Gotham City Police Department?
#3. How many years has he currently held the position of commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department?
#4. When did his partnership with Batman first started?
#5. Is he a smoker like his mainstream DC Comics counterpart in the comics?
#6. Is he currently married or divorced?
Questions in regards to Earth-16's Courtney Whitmore:
#1. Was she born and initially raised in Los Angeles, California?
#2. Are her parents' names Sam Kurtis and Barbara Whitmore; with the latter initially raising Courtney all by herself after Sam and Barbara got divorced?
#3. Did she initially disliked her stepfather, Patrick "Pat" Dugan, after he married her mother? How long did this last before she finally accepted him?
#4. Does she and her family currently live in Blue Valley, Nebraska? How long have they lived there thus far?
#5. What are the names of the high schools that she attended; before and after she and her family moved from California to Nebraska?
#6. When did she graduated from high school?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. When exactly did "Stargirl" (the pop culture television show hosted by Courtney Whitmore) first aired on television in the Earth-16 universe?
#2. Just for clarification, is Earth-16 the only known version of the DC Universe thus far in which Stargirl and Courtney Whitmore are publicly known to be one and the same person (if her interview with Beast Boy in the Season 4 finale is any apparent indication; since he did addressed her by her real name even though she was in costume)?
#3. I know that you previously refused to confirm the names of Courtney Whitmore's family members in the Earth-16 universe in a previous posting. However, what do they think/how do they feel in regards to her being the hostess of her own TV show and in regards to her superheroics as Stargirl and as a member of the Outsiders?
Mr. Weisman,
What was the exact year that Vandal Savage first encountered the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron? How more times did he encounter them afterwards and when did those encounters happened?
Hello Greg. I have a few questions for you.
1. Were Shining Knight (Sir Justin) and Vigilante (Greg Saunders) members of All-Star Squadron?
2. Are Robin (Tim Drake) and Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) a couple now?
3. When did they become a couple?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 versions of characters from "The Sandman Universe" line of DC Comics?
This Hafiz guy who posts a lot in the Ask Greg queue seems remarkably dim. The oldest question of his in the queue is in response to an answer Greg gave on April 1st about Jor-El and Lara coming to Earth and becoming the Kent's. Dude, April 1st is April Fools Day in America and it's a day Greg cuts loose and answers questions in a facetious manner. (Fair(on my defense i'm bengali and I don't understand sarcasm))
In his most recent post, he wonders why democracies/constitutional monarchies are portrayed more favorably than absolute monarchies and that Saudi Arabia treats their people better than the US. I know there's universal health care in SA, but it wouldn't do me much good if I was beheaded for witchcraft nearly a quarter into the 21st century. I'd also rather not be sawed up in an embassy for criticizing the ruler of the country. Will that universal health care put me back together? (Saudi follows God's law not some man made nonsense)
It's also tiresome when he quotes scripture and verse to conform with his conservative view of Islam. He should call himself Atatollah Bore-mani. He also seems like a MAGA chud when he complains about wokeness. (Sorry I reject democracy. MAGA people are insane as just like the left. Morality is nonexistent in secularism,)
As much as he enjoys the show, I hope he realizes it's all fiction, like the Koran, and he should stop berating Greg. Hafiz reminds me of the guy who attacked Rushdie today. (If I were to portray jews as greedy thieves and blacks people as thugs would the masses just watch as something fictional for the sake of story or would they boycott my story? I would have to pay for libel. As for Salman Rushdie how is that he can slander peoples belief and publish lies and go unpunished? don't get me wrong I don't condone their behavior. Random Muslims can't resort to vigilantism but at the same time Salman Rushdie shouldn't resort to lie to trick the ignorant masses)
Greg Weisman always will be one of my favorite writers up there with George RR Martin, Mark Twain, and Edgar Allan Poe but that doesn't if he makes a blunder I'm going to idly sit by and let him go scott free especially if he responds to fans and I know he makes retractions

Better put in my original idea, I think the Team should open a disco and invite the Dazzler from Marvel Comics to help run it.
In season 3 we started seeing more meta-human trafficking in relation with Apokolips, and now in season 4 getting a glimpse of (what Iâm assuming) kidnapped humans and meta-humans on Apokolips. I was wondering, approximately how long have humans/meta-humans been being sent to Apokolips? Did it just begin around season 3âs time period or before that?
Thank you to you and the entire crew. Absolutely LOVE this show!
Whatever happened to Count Vertigo's cane sword after Wally turned it down as a souvenir in favor of the container for Queen Perdita's transplant heart? Since it's a priceless national treasure of Vlatava, is it in a museum? Is it in the Vlatavan royal palace? Or is it gathering dust in the Vlatavan royal attic because Perdita doesn't like having the weapon of her murderous uncle hanging on the mantle over the fireplace?
In season 3, I kept waiting to see Superboy in a tuxedo since Dick, Artemis and Jeff wore fancy clothes for their missions, but since we didn't see Conner wear a tux until the end of season 4, i'm curious did you do that on purpose? Did you want to make us wait until the waiting to finally see Conner in a tuxedo. HE LOOKS SO HANDSOME I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! THANK YOU FOR NOT KILLING HIM OFF!!!!
Why do you portray absolute monarchies as something malevolent (Bialya) while portraying constitutional monarchies and democracy as something benevolent(United Nation, America(implied), Vlatava) to their own people. Many could argue that Saudi Arabia (me included) the government (monarchy) treats their own people better than here in America (democracy)
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 versions of heroes and villains from the 853rd century; as depicted in "DC One Million"?
In "Auld Acquaintance", Red Arrow speculates that Vandal Savage "paused to bask" and that this is the reason that the former was able to escape the Watchtower. Was Red Arrow correct, or did Vandal deliberately give Red Arrow an opportunity to escape?
Hi Greg!
I noticed that Stephanie Lemelin's voice for the Computer changed for seasons 3 and 4 -- It was deeper-pitched in the first two seasons, and then higher-pitched (closer to her voice for Artemis/Tigress) in seasons 3 and 4. Was there a reason for this change? If so, what is the reason? Hope you don't mind my asking.
Thanks so much for all of your hard work on this show!
If you could do Disney WICTH season 3 than how would you do it?
If you could do Disney WICTH based on the arcs that havenât been adapted than how would you do it?
Are we going to meet alien species that their hairs and/or eyes that change Colorâs based on their mood/emotions in young Justice?
I assume one of Queen Perdita's first actions as monarch upon returning to Vlatava was to politely request her country find better cardiologists, so she wouldn't need to rely on a teenager running across the width of a continent if she ever had any more heart troubles?
1) Why was General Zod well-known amongst the Kryptonian military?
2) Was General Zod close friends with Jor-El at one point in their lives? Since she knew of Zor-El's daughter Kara, did Ursa Zod have a close relation with the House of El?
3) Why did General Zod grow fond of Kon-El/Superboy? Is it because he reminds him of himself during his youth as a soldier?
1) Did Vandal ever tried to find a way to prolong his children's lives? Maybe in the beginning of his immortal life, if so did the pain of losing his family countless times cause him to go down as a villain?
2) Is Vandal Savage afraid of one day losing his immortality? If so then who would he entrust to continue his vision for the Earth and humanity?
3) Does Vandal have an obsession in learning where the meteorite that granted him immortality came from?
I've got two questions about the designation series
1) Did El Dorado get a B designation when he joined the Outsiders or did he keep his A designation until D designations were created?
2) If I remember correctly, D designations became operational after Geo-Force left the Outsiders, but he's gotten a D designation number anyway. Why haven't they kept his B designation number since it was becoming inactive?
Two questions, both about Ice.
1. Since Tora got her start at the age of fifteen, was she ever considered for possible recruitment by The Team?
2. Was Tora inspired to become a superheroine by the actions of The Team, particularly things like what they did Misplaced or Wally's cross-country sprint in Coldhearted?
Regarding the Markovian Ambassador Baazovi and him carrying out the Light's plans in Markovia:
1) Was Baazovi controlling Brion and taking over Markovia the plan all along for the Light in the episode 'Nevermore' or was that something he managed to achieve despite the loss of Terra?
2) Since he's clearly controlling Brion, did he use his powers on Gregor to banish Brion from Markovia in the episode 'Eminent Threat'?
3) If he could control others, why couldn't he have subtly manipulated Gregor into carrying out the Light's plans while Gregor was serving as king?
4) Did Baazovi ever work for DeLamb or the Light in the first place or was he a separate player that fell into the Light's good graces?
Hey Mr.weisman
One question I have to ask you
Is Young Justice canceled again or you are trying to reveal the next season in the final issue of Young Justice:Targets?
@Greg_Weisman
1.What is up with the one shot in 1x10 when Cheshire fights Red arrow and spinkicks him and flips back? because wow someone really made that and it really got on tv lol. Also People keep asking are they ever going to do a shot or scene like that again
2.its cool the animation is mostly the same as s1 and even on teen Titans but it updates the quality was that intentional or just it looks cool. Also how many seasons do you think will happen? Sorry for the long question
Mr. Weisman,
In the "Young Justice" Season One episode, "Agendas," we see how the voting process works for heroes who become future members of the Justice League. As such, for the Justice League members that joined AFTER Season One onwards, which previous Justice League members recommended each of the new heroes to join and what was the reasons for each person's recommendation? For example, which Justice League members recommended Captain Atom to join the Justice League and why did they specifically chose him? You probably might think that I am thinking about this too deeply, but I'd still like to know anyway.
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, Ice's real name is addressed as "Tora Olafsdotter." However, if her full name is based on the Icelandic naming tradition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name), then shouldn't her full name actually be properly addressed as "Tora Olafsdottir," thus replacing the "e" with an "i"? The reason I'm asking this question is because I was concerned about the accuracy of Ice's surname and I want to know which version of the surname is correct in the Earth-16 universe.
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 version of Vandal Savage was born about 50,000 years ago, would he be considered by scientists to be an early modern human (EMH)/anatomically modern human (AMH)?
1 Since familiars are essential for chaos lords to remain in the mortal plane they are always very close to their chaos lords, but would it be possible for a familiar in a certain situation to be seperated from their chaos lord by like a country wide distance or are the magically forced to remain a certain distance close to each other
2 what did teekl 1 think about child before she died
3 What did flaw think about klarion before it died
4 When klarion learned child had arrived on earth he responded disappointedly that of all the chaos lord she was the one sent. Does this imply that klarion dislikes child the most out of all the chaos lords
Iâve bought Books 1 and 2, as well as the first three issues of Targets (which Iâve really been enjoying)! I wish there were more comics. Itâll be a while before you get to this question, but:
1. Do you know if Targets has done well enough for DC to order more mini-series?
2. If they order more comics, are you more inclined to tell stories in 2020 and beyond, or are you willing to tell stories that take place in-between seasons that have already aired (I prefer the after since it allows more neglected characters to get some action)?
What's your favorite family/family-like bond out of these?
Dick and Bruce
Zatanna and Zatara
Conner and Clark
Artemis and Cheshire
Did mâcomm create the white martian resistance or did it exist before he became rebel?
1 Since it seems chaos lords donât really get along with each other. Does nabu get along with other lords of order?
2 instead of using a object as a anchor could a lord of order enter the mortal realm using a familiar or can only chaos lords do that?
3 it is stated that lords of order and chaos are above conceps like good and evil, but chaos lords like klarion and child have been shown to be quite sadistic. My question is if it is possible for a lord of order to be capable of cruelty like them?
When brion became king did he hold any grudges against zviad for having him banished?
Questions in regards to Jane Nassour:
#1. Is her full name Jane Nelson-Nassour? If not, what is her correct full name?
#2. Why is her first name changed from Elizabeth (in the comics) to Jane in the Earth-16 universe?
#3. Is Kent Nelson her paternal or maternal uncle?
#4. What are the names of her parents?
#5. When exactly did she first meet her husband (Muhammed Nassour), and when exactly did they get married?
Mr. Weisman,
The DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) movie, "Batman: Bad Blood," shows that Alfred Pennyworth can fight despite his old age. As such, can we assume that the Earth-16 version of Alfred Pennyworth would be able to fight as well?
Mr. Weisman,
When exactly did Atlantis revealed itself to the rest of the modern world in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Where exactly on Earth is Themyscira located in the Earth-16 universe?
#2. Where is the Earth-16 version of Victoria Elizabeth "Vicki" Vale?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. If any of the members of Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron had children and/or grandchildren in the Earth-16 universe, please tell us who did and what are the names of their children and/or grandchildren?
#2. What is the exact date of the anniversary of the founding of the Justice Society of America?
#3. Are there any Amazon tribes that do NOT live on Themyscira in the Earth-16 universe? If so, what are the names of these tribes, and who are their most notable members in these tribes?
#4. Has Wonder Woman ever encountered Cheetah (Barbara Ann Minerva)? If so, when did this encounter take place and what were the exact circumstances that led up to this encounter?
Mr. Weisman,
When you say that Alfred refrained from raising Bruce during the latter's childhood, does that also mean Alfred never had a moment to do what is shown in the flashback scene in the video link provided below?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkzYXXz7QCg
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of Jason (son of Zeus and Hippolyta); even though he would NOT likely be related to Wonder Woman in the Earth-16 universe?
Hello Greg
In relation to https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=26206
Yeah, basically Superboy doesn't think about that option, doing it all by himself.
But not to put this post with this alone:
1-Miss Martian never considered that the other members of the team/leaguers/heroes will see her actions badly?
2-I understand that her actions were unknown among the heroes, but for the Light (for example) after incidents like Psymon's, it was known? and was evaluated as a risk or a possibility if it one of their âagentsâ came in contact with her?
Sorry for the English, I hope itâs better than the previous times
A few Superboy and Miss Martian Season 2 questions.
1. Why did Superboy choose not to reveal to Nightwing or the Justice League about Miss Martian's abuse of power in season 2? I know it was stated he was hoping his own disapproval would make M'gann see what she was doing was wrong, but when that didn't work, including their break up and how she tried to erase his memories, I still don't understand why Conner wouldn't say anything?
2. Did he keep quiet because he didn't have solid proof of her abuse of telephay or did he stay quiet because simply because that despite everything, he still clearly loves her?
3. When they were broken up in season 2, wasn't the rest of the Team (mainly their longtime friends) ever curious about why they broke up? It's clear M'gann and Conner kept the true reason a secret, but what did they tell everyone when questioned about why they ended things?
4. Did everyone finally learn what M'gann did to Conner after they got back together. We know that Conner told Gar in the Torch Song comic, but did everyone else ever find out the truth and if so how did they feel after learning how M'gann basically betrayed Conner's trust as well as her actions towards him?
5. Did the rest of the Team ever feel stupid or idiot that they never saw or realize that Miss Martian's abusing of power? How could they have let it go on for so long and not try to stop her or confront about what she was doing! When Artemis saw what she did to Kaldur, she was shocked, upset and very disappointed with M'gann!
Were you always planning to have Conner have a different hairstyle when he and M'gann finally got married? Or were you just going as the story followed? Also why this hairstyle, was it done to make Conner look more mature?
At what point did the Team stop needing League-appointed supervisors/den mothers at Mount Justice? I assume that eventually Dick and M'gann would've taken on mentorship roles and acted as the "guardians", but I was wondering if you had a specific time that that had happened in mind.
Where were Zatana and Zatara living before the events of Misplaced?
Your answer to a recent question regarding Artemis, Robin, and Aqualad's whereabouts during Agendas made me wonder, what does a Bat-family Thanksgiving look like? Also, what did Kaldur's Thanksgiving look like, assuming he celebrated it in Shayeris. I doubt the traditional Thanksgiving turkey would work as a dish when surrounded in cold seawater.
Hi greg, big fan of your work
One question, what do you think about avengers earth's mighiest heroes.
Was Kid Flash going missing a public thing or kept private among the hero community? Was Bart declared missing as a civilian as well as Kid Flash? If he was, did there need to be a cover story once he got back? If not, was there a cover story for why Bart Allen suddenly wasn't around?
Hello, Greg!
Now that âYoung Justice: Phantomsâ has aired in its entirety, I feel that now is as good a time as any to give my (unprompted and long-winded, but well-deserved) review of the fourth season of what was once my favorite show. Iâm going to be honest and fairly blunt: this season was frustrating.
And no, not in a fun way.
I had so, so, so many problems with how you and Brandon broke this season down. Much like how you guys handled Outsiders, this seasonâs pacing is glaringly bad. It feels even worse this go-around, but Iâm gonna guess (or hope, rather) that thatâs only because this seasonâs arc formula forces a bigger emphasis on the pacing within three-to-five episode chunks, which in turn makes the flaws all the more apparent.
Donât get me wrongâ"the season wasnât bad by any means. I know it did consistently well (better than all three of the past seasons, I believe) on the charts and was almost always trending on the HBOMax page. By all accounts, I completely understand why you and the company would see the season as a metaphorical slam-dunk: because it was. And with all the chaos thatâs going on right now with the merger between HBOMax and Discovery, with the shelving of that nearly-finished BATGIRL movie, etc. etc., I know it's up in the air if the show is going to get renewed for a fifth season. All I can say is I sincerely hope it does get renewed.
But with all that being said, I do think it needs to be addressed that getting strong numbers on the charts and accepting the praise whilst ignoring and/or arguing away critics (hate-watchers, you called them) does NOT equal high-quality entertainment.
So letâs start from the beginning.
The notion of this arc-like storytelling seemed like such a good idea back when promotion started for the season, and many fansâ"myself includedâ"rejoiced when they were told (by you, Brandon, the crew, etc.) that each arc would be focused around an original Team member. Looking back, I really wished you hadnât gone down this route. The choice (per interviews with you and Brandon) seemed to mostly be a cost-saving measure with regards to being able to reuse backgrounds, locations, voice actors, etc. etc., while also theoretically allowing you guys to explore characters in a more in-depth manner, more so than previous seasons. On paper, it sounds great. Which is why itâs really a shame that the actual end product didnât seem to meet anyoneâs expectations on that front.
Now, Iâve seen your responses to criticisms about how each arc doesn't seem to actually revolve around the character theyâve been promoted as revolving around. Most of these responses seem to be you just digging your heels in further. Which just leaves me (and many others, the so-called vocal minority) to question whether the show you made is the same one that actually aired. Because no, Zatannaâs arc was most definitely not about or revolving around HER. Raquelâs arc book-ended with her, sure, but that giant chunk that made up the entire POINT of the arc itself? The same arc that had her speaking a maximum of, what, five lines an episode? Yeah, none of that was about HER.
That isnât to say all of them were like this. Mâgann and Connerâs arc was all about them, Artemisâ arc was all about her and her relationship with Jade, Kaldurâs arc was an overarching Atlantis plotline, yes, but it was ingrained around Kaldurâs detrimental needing-to-help complex. It should come as no surprise that those three arcs wereâ"by far and wideâ"the better of the bunch. Hence, it should also come as no surprise why SO MANY people found Zatannaâs so-called arc disappointing (because no, the main point was not Zatannaâs connection with her father, it was quite literally all about Childâs reign of terror) and Raquelâs arc was nothing but set-up (you could replace her with any other character and nothing about the New Genesis plotline would have changed). The only character I actually understand not being the primary focus of their arc is Dick, and OF COURSE thatâs the one character YOU believe actually got shafted in the end.
Iâm not saying Dick didnât get shafted, because he absolutely did. But weâve had three seasons of Dick content. He isnât a character whose backstory we know nothing about. Sure, I would have loved to see more of his psyche explored, would have loved to see how his relationship with the Batfamily has grown or diminished since Jasonâs death or Barbaraâs paralysis. I would have loved to see his relationship with his comatose Uncle Rick be explored more. But he didnât NEED an in-depth character-driven story.
Zatanna and Raquel DID.
We knew nothing about Zatannaâs home life outside of her father. Yes, the arc expanded on that. But it wasnât HER arc. We learned her mother died of cancer (which was told to us through the lens of Zatara, not Zatanna); we learned that her family is Catholic (again, through Zatara); we learned sheâs known Khalid since childhood (yet AGAIN, through Zatara). And even with all that information, it ultimately amounts to nothing even resembling character development and it certainly doesnât have anything to do with Zatannaâs actions (or lack thereof, in all honesty) during said-arc. I mean, not once did SHE get to narrate an episode of her own damn arc.
But Phantom Stranger? A character we just met? Sure. Vandal Savage, a villain that already had an entire episode dedicated to him last season? Yeah, why not! Nabu and Zatara seemed to be the only ones that made sense, really, and even then neither were directly about Zatanna herself. And thatâs just the narration aspects!
I mean, not ONCE did she use her own wits or magical prowess to try and fight off Child or accomplish anything of importance: the only reason she wasnât killed right off the bat by Klarion in the first episode was because he got called away, itâs Phantom Stranger that warps her to Roanoke where she does absolutely nothing but watch before Etrigan comes to help, and then itâs Khalid that is the one that revives her after she gets knocked out and nearly drowns. Itâs honestly so strange looking back to Artemisâ arcâ"where you cited the reason for the major change to Oracleâs backstory was because you wanted her to have AGENCYâ"after this. Where did all that agency go for this arc? Zatanna certainly didnât have any when she most definitely should have.
You could say that Zatanna did help out in the fourth and fifth episodes (you know, ignoring how she spent the entirety of the third sitting in a chair questioning Nabuâs motives and accomplishing nothing else whilst her students battled their own inner demons), but thatâs really not saying much. Having the lead character in an arc be relegated to backup in the final showdown was just... anticlimactic and boring. The one thing this arc did well was set up an amazing villain, only for her to be thwarted by Flawâs (fairly obvious, Hello Megan!) weakness.
Honestly, Iâm kind of amazed how you guys managed to have Zatanna be more helpful in the last episode of Raquelâs arc and literally ALL of Dickâs arc than she was in all (five!) episodes of her own. Amazed and kind of annoyed.
And then thereâs Raquel, who might as well be the display image when someone looks up the meaning of âeleventh-hour ranger.â Iâm not arguing her (in)significance in the first three seasons, but merely how, as a result of that decision, we as an audience know practically NOTHING about her. We know that she had Amistad shortly before joining the Justice League and we know she was engaged to someone, making her entire character seemingly just that of a mother and wife, which doesnât exactly define HER. Itâs not like she was either of those things when she became a hero, right? So what made her want to become one? Was it Icon? Was it for justice? For fame and glory? These are questions that SHOULD have been addressed already, but werenât, and so we as an audience are left to assume that theyâll be discussed and/or alluded to within her arc.
Instead, when the time FINALLY comes for us to get to know this badass, beautiful, versatile character on the most basic, fundamental level, weâre greeted with something just a notch below ableism. Huh? I get you guys were trying to showcase how even loving parents can make mistakes, but for THAT to be the first personal/familial trait we witness doesnât exactly paint her in the most positive light.
Which wouldnât inherently be the worst thing. Itâs a common trope to show that even the good guys have flaws that they must overcome. But you guys did literally nothing with that until the VERY END (and it's not even like that so-called âpay-offâ was worth the buildup, anyway), so are we just meant to not like her during the entirety of her arc? And it SERIOUSLY does not help that you guys chose to compare Amistadâs autism to Orionâs violent outbursts in Raquelâs eyes (which then weirdly turned into some sexual tension between the two of them by the end of the season for some reason). So much for those sensitivity readers you kept bringing up whenever someone criticized how well you handled Violetâs faith and/or queerness, amiright?
Speaking of, since this was in Raquelâs arc and said by Raquel herself (one of the few lines she actually had, sadly enough), the scene where everyone kept misgendering Violet was excruciatingly painful. I know youâve stated that it was an oversight and a mistake and you're not quite sure how it got past all of you (even those top-notch sensitivity readers, too!), but itâs pretty clear why this happened: you making Violet explicitly non-binary was a spur-of-the-moment decision probably brought on by the complaints on how you merely alluded to it in S3 but never really committed, choosing instead to safely fall back onto the standard she/her pronouns for the rest of the season. Kudos for the explicit confirmation here in S4, but this oversight really tells a lot about how you guys see Violet and, as a result, your non-binary audience. I know ofâ"at leastâ"a handful of people that stopped watching right then and there, one of whom I know personally, whoâd advocated so hard for a S3 back when it was on Netflix and went to all of the conventions and actually met you at a meet-and-greet panel back during the promotion of Outsiders. They were legitimately heartbroken. I understand this was a mistake (one that I am seriously trying to wrap my head around, because surely you had at least one non-binary consultant for this storyline, right?), but that mistake quite literally opened the floodgates and gave all of the homophobic DC fans even more leverage to use against us. That mistake will forever be ingrained in âYoung Justiceâ and itâs just... really disheartening, Iâm sorry to say.
Now, moving back to the actual meat of Raquelâs arcâ"which was apparently meant to be an important meeting regarding the camaraderie between New Genesis, the Green Lantern Corps, and the heroes of Earth. Obviously, thatâs not the point of the arc (itâs set-up for Lor-Zod, really), but it did feel extremely convoluted when the actual meeting lasted all of five seconds with a firm ânoâ from Orion and the GLs. Like, what? THATâs why Raquel and the others flew across the galaxy? What, a video call wouldnât suffice? It just seemed like a half-assed attempt to explain Raquelâs involvement, which does nothing but strengthen my statement earlier that you couldâve switched anyone in for Raquel and nothing wouldâve changed.
I know sometimes the plot forces the story one way, but to relegate the plot-focused arc onto the least developed character? Really? It just left us with more questions than answers (and no, in this case, thatâs NOT a good thing). Why did she become a hero? Does she have any family outside of her son? Where was Icon during all this? Who was Raquel engaged to? Was it Noble, the obvious choice, thus forcing us to question why the hell that was a secret at all? The entire storyline seemed like one big missed opportunity, and the overall structure of it all did not help in the slightest.
Itâs not like this is the only arc with a weak story structure, but itâs by far the worst. âEncounter Upon the Razorâs Edgeâ was probably the worst example of pacing and prioritization Iâve seen in a LONG time and it was honestly laughable. I genuinely have no idea how you thought introducing yet another character (that played NO PART in this seasonâs storyline) and centering the ENTIRE episode around him (therefore DETRACTING an entire episode from an already existing, supposedly main, undeveloped character) would make sense from a narrative standpoint at all. I understand you guys wanted to pay homage to âGreen Lantern: The Animated Seriesâ with the writers, and I get it made a lot of fans happy to see Razor again, but this stunt was an extreme injustice to both Raquel and the overarching plot. It got to the point where I was so frustrated (and bored, too, in all honesty) that I just wanted her so-called arc to end already.
How you are able to look at either of these two arcs and say with confidence that âyes, both of these arcs did actually revolve around their leading characterâ utterly BAFFLES me. And donât get me wrong, I certainly donât expect you to read this and agree with anything Iâve said. I get that youâre proud of this season and you obviously liked what you and Brandon came up with for each of these arcs. But the evidence to support your claims of Zatannaâs and Raquelâs individual presence just isnât there, making your repetitive dismissals of these criticisms all the more infuriating.
Moving on, I think I should bring up one of the major themes of the season: mental health. I think the concept itself looks good on paperâ"showcasing how worsening mental health and depression can affect someone and the people around them, particularly with how people RESPOND to it.
But as we discussed with the arc structure, something looking good on paper does not equate with it translating well on-screen. And yet again, I do sincerely get where youâre coming from. Like Raquelâs ingrained ableism, you wanted to showcase how even your loved ones can miss the signsâ"you wanted your show to be as realistic as possible (as youâve stated when discussing this very plotline). But this so-called realism doesnât make sense in this context.
Everyone around Garfield are superheroes, the majority of whom are superhero adults with YEARS of experience under their belt and one of whom is specifically trained in psychology and therapy. Even among his peers, he had Ed, who was a peer counselor and who ALSO has some experience in a formal professional setting. This so-called realism fell flat for a lot of people watching because superheroes would KNOW the signs of depression. They would SEE and RECOGNIZE what was actually happening and would certainly put more emphasis on helping Garfield even if he didnât necessarily WANT their help.
I just found it extremely convenient for you (and frustrating for the audience) that when some of the Outsiders actually confronted Garfield about blowing off their missions and lazing about, it was Courtney doing the talking instead of Ed who was RIGHT THERE and didnât say a word. Or how, when Blue Devil noticed something was off with Garfield, or when Mâgann, Robotman, Cassie, Jaime, and Virgil had their little intervention, none of them went to Black Canary until nearly the END of the damn season. And low and behold, she got through to him in one therapy session. It was just so extremely convoluted and could have been wrapped up in the first half of the season if you guys hadnât made the adult superheroes act so inept.
Maybe then the Razor butt-in plot or the Infinitors/Markovia storyline during Dickâs arc wouldnât have been as jarring and/or pointless and/or detrimental to the other characters because youâd actually have the time to showcase everything you felt the need to showcase.
Or you could have used that extra time to depict other charactersâ"it sure would have been nice to see how the Outsiders and/or the Flash Family reacted to Bart being missing (we were TOLD Jay was having a hard time with it after he got back from New Genesis), or how being Doctor Fate was affecting Zatanna, Khalid, and Traciâs lives, or how any member of the Batfamily was doing. I donât know, it just felt like you guys were building up so much potential inner turmoil for certain characters only for you guys to just never go anywhere with it or make the waiting pay off by showing it on-screen.
But thatâs more of a problem with your whole premise of the show than anything. âTell rather than showâ seems to be your guysâ writing mantra these days. The amount of exposition spewed at us this season wasnât as bad as in Outsiders, but thatâs really not saying much.
All in all, I do think the season was okay. Certainly better than S3. But itâs still nowhere near what the show once was back in the S1 and S2. Which really is a shame, because some parts of this season were absolutely wonderful. The first two arcs were pretty great (that fight scene in the dark during Artemisâ arc still gets me, holy crap) and I truly adored Kaldurâs arc, which Iâve come to realize was definitely my favorite. Dickâs arc was fine for me because of all the shafted characters, he was the one that made sense to shaft (though WHY not a single member of the Batfamily appeared at all until the wedding is still a mystery to me. Poor Tim will never get a speaking line, will he?). As youâve read, it was Zatanna and Raquelâs arcs that ruined an otherwise good season for a lot of us. Had the season not been divided into chunks, I feel like their respective roles would have shined more in the long run.
Now, in spite of my tirades above, I genuinely do hope for a fifth season. I may not agree with or like every decision you make, but I think you and Brandon both have got a great show in your hands and I do truly want the best for it. But the criticisms Iâve stated are still strong and honest criticisms and the misgendering mistake you guys made ruined the show for a good chunk of people. So if a fifth season does come to fruition, I really am hoping for and expecting more.
Maybe that makes me entitled or snotty. I know I probably come off sounding like an arse and you probably didnât like a single word of what I wrote. Hell, thatâs even if this post makes it beyond your moderators. If it does, just know that this (albeit frustrated) criticism does genuinely come from a place of love for the show and a desire for it to get better with every passing episode.
Thanks for reading, and I am sorry if this spoils the mood a bit for you. If it does, remember Iâm just some anonymous nobody on the Internet with a bit too much time on their hands.
I hope you have a good rest of your day.
At what age do League members retire?
Why did you Greg and staff decide Garfield would rescue Perdita in issue 6 of young justice comic targets but Garfield and Perdita would not get back together in a dating relationship in by the end of young justice comic targets issue 6?
Is Traci fighting any specific tentacled eldritch horror in Targets Issue 2 or just a generic tentacled eldritch horror?
Mr. Weisman,
With the Warner-Discovery merger apparently messing things up big time (like canceling the "Batgirl" film, for example), should we be worried about the possibility that "Young Justice" MIGHT NOT get renewed for another season on HBO Max...? If that happens, do you have a contingency plan? If the show doesn't get renewed, do you intend to continue "Young Justice" as direct-to-video animated films; as part of DC Universe Animated Original Movies?
Hello Greg. I have a few questions for you
1. Who is Beast Boyâs father?
2. What is Black Mantaâs real name?
3. Did Kaldurâs mother Shaâlainâa marry Black Manta before she fell in love with Calvin Durham?
4. Are Violet and Harper a couple now?
1. The al ghuls have NEVER been portrayed as Muslim. Theyâre not even drawn as Arab 99% of the time, plus Raâs al Ghulâs origins as a character are rooted in the yellow peril stereotype. So you canât retroactively claim Talia al Ghul as a Muslim character.
2. Someone asked you if Queen Bee was Muslim years ago and your response was âprobably,â indicating that you hadnât really thought about it - and why would you, religion was never part of this show originally
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=15649
In the comics, Queen Bee is depicted as white, you guys chose to make her Arab, so thereâs no history of her being a Muslim character either. The whole concept of Bialya being a terrorist state in the Middle East is also rooted in racism and Islamophobia, so I donât know if you really want to claim that either.
Thereâs nothing wrong with making Muslim characters villains as long as they donât fall into racial caricatures, but you CANNOT claim those two as Muslim characters to deflect criticism of Halo. It is revisionist history and you know it. Furthermore, it wouldnât change the fact that Halo is the first and only hijabi, who face their own unique stereotypes in media. If you think just because theyâre Arab, that automatically makes them Muslim, thatâs a whole other problem.
You messed up by making your first explicitly Muslim character a possessed corpse. Stop making excuses and own up to it.
Hello,Mr.Weisman,one question to ask you,please
Why you and Vietti put Milestone characters in Young Justice aka Earth 16?
Is it true Dynamite Entertainment is going to have you with them on new Gargoyle's comics?
Night wing and zatanaâs future?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron, what is the chronological order of recruitment of its members (with dates included, if possible)?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of the superhero team known as Gen 13?
At the end of season 4, when the Super Martian wedding finally unfolded, Miss Martian had forgone her freckles, and Superboy sported a new haircut. Are these looks permanent, or exclusive to the wedding?
Johnny Kent and Superboy have the same physiology of being half Kryptonian, half Kryptonian. So why does Johnny seem to have a more complete power set than Superboy?
Mr. Weisman,
You have previously mentioned that the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America disbanded due to pressure from the United States government in wanting the heroes to reveal their identities. But who SPECIFICALLY within the United States government came up with this suggestion? Also, did Harry S. Truman (the 33rd President of the United States) also agreed with this suggestion; if so, how exactly was he convinced/persuaded?
Mr. Weisman,
Exactly how many times have the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron saved the world before most of the members of the Justice League were born?
Miss martian and superboy and beast boy died before legion of superheros were form so what as conner's age and m'gann's and Garfield logan's age then these three people died in young justice universe?
By the end young justice season 4 why did beast boy still view the outsiders as his friends or not blame them for his breakup with peridia because if the outsiders got black canary to help beast boy with his mental health problems before Perdita came to see him at the Hub Garfield and Perdita would still be together?
In season 3 episode 15, Eduardo/El Dorado sys he used to hate his powers and pray they would go away, but over time learned to accept and love them. I know youâve already confirmed that Ed is gay, but was that scene intentionally written as a metaphor for him embracing his sexuality, or was I just reading into that a bit too much?

Really? No blind spot? Youâre perfect? You donât need to do any introspection? You didnât even attempt to understand why making a Muslim character explicitly religious in a Western show is a completely different thing than making a Christian character religious. Context is clearly not a concept you comprehend. And you totally glossed over my point that none of the main 6 characters never talk about their religion and that religion wasnât part of the show until you made a Muslim character. But ok. Keep living in denial of your Islamophobic tendencies. Youâre going to get a rude awakening if you venture outside of this deluded fandom that thinks you can do no wrong.
If youâre going to make wokeness a central part of your show then people have the right to critique it and question your motivations. Iâve gotta say, the way you respond to people who do so is disturbing to meâ¦you get so angry and defensive and you take it so personallyâ¦is yelling at and talking down to POC who disagree with you really the best way to show that you care about diversity? Even if their question isnât worded politely, surely you understand that theyâre allowed to be upset when that they feel like they see racism in media? No one is perfect, everyone always has more to learn and different perspectives to consider, but you donât seem to think you do.
Hi Greg, I have 2 Questions:
1-Miss Martian have only one or multiple Bio-Suits for herself during the course of the series?
2-The Wedding Dress of Miss Martian is an actual dress (a dress make on earth and nothing more) or is her (or one of hers) Bio suit(s) morphed?
good muslim rep doesnt mean a very special episode explaining the basics of islam to non muslims, it means creating muslim characters that are just as good as non muslim characters, it means not making their entire identity revolving around their religion and not reducing them to sad victims of their culture from a western point of view, if you arent going to listen to what your actual muslim fans are saying then give it a rest, we dont need to settle for crappy attempts at diversity anymore, we arent obligated to give you time to figure out what the *** youre trying to do with halo, were past the point of groveling to white men for scraps and we arent props for you to use to boost your profile as the white savior youve branded yourself to be
Did Miss Martian ever take Garfield Logan anywhere when Garfield live Rita Farr and if so were?
What is vandal savage doing during the legion of superheroes tenure considering the fact that he is immortal. Does he perceive the legion as a threat like he does the Justice League?
In Season 4 ep 12, Klarion said Charles Daggett reminded him of someone, who was he referring to?
1 does clayface currently feel any guilt for faking a romance with talia just to access to the lazarus pit
2 Does talia still feel bitter about clayface
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, Lana Lang has traditionally been Superman's romantic interest when they were teenagers in Smallville. She is also Clark Kent's childhood friend and confidant and one of the first people that knew about Clark's powers. As such, are these facts also deemed true in the Earth-16 universe as well?
Mr. Weisman,
1. On the day that the Earth-16 version of Bruce Wayne lost his parents, was Leslie Thompkins the first person who comforted him over his loss? If not, then who was it?
2. Exactly when and where did the funeral for Bruce's parents take place?
3. Did any of Bruce's relatives attended his parents' funeral? If so, then who?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Thomas Wayne:
#1. Was his father's name Patrick Morgan Wayne?
#2. What was his mother's full name?
#3. Did he have an older sister named Agatha Wayne?
#4. Was he a skilled surgeon and philanthropist?
#5. What exact circumstances led him to decide to become a surgeon?
#6. What is the exact date (mm/dd/yyyy) that he and his wife were killed by Joe Chill?
#7. Was the location of his and his wife's death called Crime Alley (also known as Park Row)?
Mr. Weisman,
1. In the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) mainstream DC Comics universe, Cassandra Cain became the adopted daughter of Bruce Wayne. Is this also true in the Earth-16 universe as well, or was she adopted by someone else? If the latter, then who?
2. Besides her mother, Lady Shiva (Sandra Wu-San), does Cassandra Cain have any other relatives on her mother's side of the family in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,
1. Has the Earth-16 version of Orphan ever been addressed by the nickname "Cass" like her comic book counterpart is sometimes currently called by?
2. In a response to a previous posting, you refused to confirm whether or not David Cain is the father of the Earth-16 version of Orphan. Please explain why you chose to do this; considering this relationship is clearly TRUE in the mainstream DC Universe; both in the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) and post-Flashpoint (Prime Earth) versions of the mainstream DC Comics universe.
3. In the current iteration of the mainstream DC Unverse, the reason why Cassandra Cain took up the codename "Orphan" is because her father, David Cain used that codename while working for a warlord/human trafficker known only as "Mother" (as depicted in "Batman & Robin Eternal"). So, I assuming at the very least that the Earth-16 version of Cassandra Cain was likely given this name because Lady Shiva knew the Earth-16 version of David Cain by that codename. Is my assumption correct, or is there a completely different reason why Cassandra Cain was given the codename of "Orphan"?
Mr. Weisman,
1. What meta-human powers did Ishtar and Nabu (prior to his death) have and how exactly do they work?
2. Are Olympia Savage and Cassandra Savage meta-humans? If so, then what were their powers and how exactly do they work?
after the final battle against the Zods, right after Lor disappears in the time-sphere, a bunch of other heroes show up (League members and a couple Outsiders). since Bart is with them, is that meant to imply he went to get them for help after getting shocked by the Eye of Ekron, or did they show up on their own?
Early, I had asked why Beast Boy was redesigned for season 3. I thank you for answering.
I would also like to know, what was the reason, out-of-universe for the change. What caused you to completely revamp the character to his more traditional protrayal?
With the recent comic news with Dynamite Comics, is there a chance for a Gargoyles crossover with other franchises licensed by Dynamite or would Disney nix any chance of them happening?
Like crossovers with Ash/Army Of Darkness, Zorro, Highlander, and/or Stargate?
Hey Greg
I have seen a lot of people ask this question on reddit and stuff so it got me curious as well
1:Are Dick and Babs still in a relationship together in S4 I think most people were just unsure because we didn't see them interact like in S3 also I think because Dick and Zee seemed very flirtatious with each other which brings me to my second question
2:Is there perhaps still a candle lit between the two of them Dick and Zee I mean
Dear Mr Wiesman 1. What are Cassie Sandsmark Cissie king Jones and Stephanie Brown's respective majors in college and do all 3 girls own and were baseball caps from time to time ? 2. Is the universe !6 version of Hercules a supportor of mankind like Zeus is or does he have a differing opinion on Mankind in earth 16?
Mr. Weisman,
In the fourth issue of "Batman/Superman: World's Finest," Batman and Superman temporarily merged together and became an extremely powerful individual. The image in the link provided below shows what the merged being looks like:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FTO0L9SXoAARQWW?format=jpg&name=large
The merged being's strength is so powerful that he easily defeated mind-controlled members of the Justice League and the Teen Titans; even though his existence had a short time limit. Just for fun, I would like you to answer the following three questions:
#1. What do you think would be a good superhero code name for this merged being?
#2. As this merged being is part-Superman, what do you think his Kryptonian name should be?
#3. Which would be a good secret identity name for this merged being: Clark Wayne, or Bruce Kent?
Mr. Weisman,
In the DC Universe, Martha Wayne was born as one of five siblings in her generation of the Kane family tree. The other four siblings are her brothers Nathan, Phillip, Jacob (the father of Batwoman), and an as-of-yet unnamed man (the father of Bette Kane). In the Earth-16 universe, what is the order of the five Kane siblings from oldest to youngest child of their generation? Please also include the birth year for the Earth-16 versions of Martha's brothers, if possible. Finally, in the Earth-16 universe, did Martha have a positive or a negative relationship with each of her brothers, and why?
When Conner and M'gann arrived in their home in the limos/bio-ships for the wedding where exactly where they coming from?
Have you ever considered making people log in with a username or password so itâs easier to ignore trolls who keep bringing up the same issues over and over again simply because theyâre not satisfied with your responses (while also clogging the queue, which currently has almost 2000 unanswered questions right now)?
Thank you for answering fan questions despite the downsides of it all.
I was wondering if a shapeshifter stands infront of a Zeta Tube, could they fool the system into thinking they are a different person, i.e. posing as Batman to gain access to league secrets via entry in the watchtower.
Mr. Weisman,
At any point in time while it was still active, was the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America also called the Justice Battalion; like in the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 versions of DC Comics characters who were originally introduced during the comic book line, "The New Age of DC Heroes"?
Mr. Weisman,
1. Was the Earth-16 version of the All-Star Squadron alternatively known as "The All-Stars"?
2. Did a version of the Seven Soldiers of Victory (alternatively known as "Law's Legionnaires") exist in the Earth-16 universe? If so, who were the members of this group (and please include their full names, along with their middle names and nicknames; if applicable)? Finally, did they fought alongside the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron during and after WWII?
3. Did Franklin Delano Roosevelt (the 32nd president of the United States of America) played an instrumental role in the formation of the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron. If this is true, how exactly did this happen?
4. Is the Earth-16 version of David Reid the great-grandson of Franklin Delano Roosevelt; like in the comics? If this is true, is this relationship on his paternal or maternal side of his family?
Mr. Weisman,
What are the full names (which also includes middle names and nicknames; if applicable) of each member of the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron?
Is there a New Rome out there, or plans to make one? I imqgine the fear of railgun-toting legionaries would justify even more New Olympus misanthropy.
Mr. Weisman,
Was Abigail Mathilda "Ma" Hunkel a member of Earth-16's Justice Society of America (presumably as the first Red Tornado), or was she the caretaker of the JSA headquarters (which I will assume was located in a brownstone building somewhere in Civic City, Pennsylvania; like in the comics)?
I just watch Spectacular Spider-Man and wow this is the best version of Spider-Man i've ever seen. Why don't they continue it as movies or comics?
Mr. Weisman,
Where are the Earth-16 versions of Darla Dudley, Eugene Choi, and Pedro Peña?
Apparently you asked why you canât use non human characters as diversity when there are white non human charactersâ¦.well the answer is becauseâ¦POC have been already been DEHUMANIZED in western media for CENTURIES with harmful caricaturesâ¦have you ever been outside? Plus, if you only have ONE Arab woman in a cast full of white blondes then itâs not exactly an equal situation, is it? Do you seriously not understand this very basic concept or do you just not care because you know you have an army of loyal stans?
Hi Greg,
Just wanted to congratulate you on the new Gargoyles comics coming out later in the year. It's been a long time coming but well worth the wait.
Mr. Weisman,
There are two adjectives to describe anything associated with Apokolips; this being "Apokoliptian" and "Apokoliptan". Are one or both of these adjectives correct in the Earth-16 universe?
i am desperate to know what the relationship is between bruce and tim on earth-16, i know you donât like to give things away but iâve been patient since season 2 and tim has been in the show less and less, most of his tenure as robin as a teenager has been skipped over, i feel like itâs pretty clear heâs not going to be explored anytime soon if at all. i loved seeing the father son relationship between dick and bruce in season 1 and really wanted to see something like that with tim. can you please at least tell us if theyâre also father and son or if he keeps tim at arms length? is timâs dad still alive?
Is Halo Muslim rep or not? Because it seems like they are when you get praise but whenever someone tries to criticize the character, then all of a sudden they donât count as Muslim rep so everyone needs to shut up. You cannot have it both ways buddy.
When was Bart officially declared missing? Did Jay get back from New Genesis and go around asking when people saw him last only to realize no one had heard from him in like a week? Had anyone noticed or gotten worried before then?
we saw Dick and Zatanna doing detective work when Bart missing, and i wanted to ask if the Outsiders and other heroes were doing their own investigating when Bart went missing and we just didn't see it?
i was also curious if Dick, Zatanna and the others shared what they'd found to do with Bart specifically after "Rescue and Search" or if, as Dick put it, trusting Bart on his choice extended to his choice not to tell anyone what he was doing?
Mr. Weisman,
1. The Legion of Super-Heroes revealed in the 2nd half of "Young Justice: Phantoms" that Superboy is destined to do something on May 14th, 2030, that will go down in history and that will eventually inspire the creation of the Legion in the 31st century. As such, my question to you is this: Is that specific date meant to be the end point for the "Young Justice" animated series, or will the series continue beyond that date?
2. The entirety of the "Young Justice" animated series appears to set up Darkseid as the overarching main antagonist. However, in the comics, there are other supervillains in the DC Universe who are just as bad or potentially worse than Darkseid. As such, once Darkseid is ultimately defeated, who is going to step up and take his place as the main antagonist?
Mr. Weisman,
1. Exactly how tall were the Old Gods in the Earth-16 universe?
2. What is the exact length of the Source Wall in the Earth-16 universe?
3. When exactly was the Source Wall created in the Earth-16 universe? Also, who was responsible for its creation, and why did they create it in the first place?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of the Old Gods:
#1. When did they first come into existence in the Earth-16 universe?
#2. What were their ages; both biologically and chronologically?
#3. What were the exact circumstances that led them to ultimately become part of the Source Wall?
#4. Besides Gog, what are the names of the other Old Gods who are now part of the Source Wall; including the one that fell to New Genesis?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of the New Gods:
#1. What are their ages; both biologically and chronologically?
#2. What their real names (if applicable); assuming some of their names are just titles?
#3. When describing something that is associated with the New Gods, are the correct adjectives "Genesisian" and "Apokoliptian"?
#4. When exactly did the New Gods first come into existence in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,
You have previously mentioned that the heroes were NOT able to save everyone on Earth from Child's rampage. As such, approximately how many people died due to her actions?
Is there a particular reason why Klarion's backward spells were reversed in post production since this changes one of his spells essentially into "Weed killer this kill, killer weed". which is not how the Zatara/Zatanna magic works, since the order of words doesn't change.
Mr. Weisman,
I was surprised that was no news whatsoever in regards to a possible Season 5 renewal for "Young Justice" by HBO Max at SDCC 2022. I guess we'll have to wait until SDCC 2023 for any official confirmation?
Mr. Weisman,
I just read on the internet today that "Gargoyles" is coming back to comics. Congratulations to you, man! This is absolutely incredible! I look forward to the new upcoming adventures of Goliath and his clan!
Congratulations on the good news from Dynamite. (It was a surprised to me, but it seems now as if we were getting preparations for it - the new "Gargoyles" merchandise such as the action figures and board game, the "Gargoyles" allusions in "Duck Tales" and "Amphibia", Lexington's cameo in the "Sidekicks" video, etc. Apparently "Gargoyles" appearing on Disney + made a big difference.).
not a question, but what is probably just another in what is probably a flood of people coming to say CONGRATULATIONS! The Gargoyles comic is amazing news and we all know how hard you've been fighting for it. Thank you for keeping up that fight and I'm so glad it paid off
Not a question, but I wanted to send you a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE *GARGOYLES* VIA COMICS!!! When I saw that it was announced at 2022 SDCC, I couldn't believe my eyes! My twin sister and I grew up watching *Gargoyles*, bought the DVDs and the comics, and have waited for two decades for "Gargoyles* to come up! We're so excited to see *Gargoyles* return, and we're keeping our fingers crossed to see Brooklyn's TimeDancer adventures fully come to life!
Thank you so much for never losing hope that "Gargoyles" could return to us and always fighting for its return. Thank you, Dynamite Entertainment, for seeing its worth and working to spread the love of the show for long-time and new fans alike! :D
After project thrinos failed is savage still determined to conquer Atlantis some way or has he completely giving up for now?
When a light seat is vacant does the light ever consider multiple potential candidates to fill the seat?
1. How big is the YJ Phantom Zone? Is it small enough that Superboy and Zod just happened to run into each other, or was their encounter something incredibly rare that happened in a large place?
2. How did Zod find Superboy?
Mr. Weisman,
At any point during the time it was active, was the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America sometimes just simply referred to as the "Justice Society" or the "JSA"?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the members of the Earth-16 version of the Justice Society of America/All-Star Squadron, what is the chronological order of recruitment (and please also include month and year, if possible)? This question also assume there may be other members in this group who have not yet been mentioned in the Young Justice Wiki and have not yet been seen in the Earth-16 universe.
When the Legion of Superheroes chose to tail Superboy in the past, did they ever harbor any feelings of awkwardness or awe should they ever meet him face-to-face given he was their inspiration?
If Conner and M'gann had their mars wedding what were they planning to wear? Was Conner going to be wearing a suit or his standard outfit? Or was he going to wear some sort of special attire for the martian wedding and the same goes for M'gann?
Why was Roy willing to work with Dick after he kicked him off the Team in season 2? Plus in the audio episode it sounded like he still held a bit of a grudge?
I have some questions regarding "Greater Bialya".
1) When was the approximate date Queen Bee chose to invade neighboring Qurac?
2) How long did the campaign last?
3) When did it end?
3) Did the Justice League or the Team attempt to stop the crisis or were they held back by UN restrictions at the time?
4) Did its former president and current UN ambassador Sumaan Harjavti (Queen Bee's puppet) aid in some way with the conquest?
Hello Megan is being advertised so much since season 3 even though the show was cancelled years ago. Are people becoming more interested in the show because of Beast Boy and if so are their any plans to do a reboot of Hello Megan?
What is Dick Graysonâs (a.k.a Nightwing) civilian job when he is not a vigilante?
What's Tim Drake's ethnocultural background? I appreciate Chuck Dixon's interpretation of Tim as Jewish (on his mom's side), but that's rarely discussed.
Hello Greg,
I'm writing to tell you I appreciate Nightwing's arc. It wasn't what I expected, but portraying Dick as a lighthearted, competent operative and leader that can easily push someone to use the full force of their powers on someone is refreshing. I get the sense he's more self-assured and has a tighter social circle than in other portrayals of the character around the same age.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. How is old is the Earth-16 version of Kara Zor-El; both biologically and chronologically?
#2. Where on Krypton was Kara Zor-El born, and what is her citizenship on Krypton?
#3. Did Kara knew a female Kryptonian by the name of Thara Ak-Var, and were they close friends prior to the destruction of Krypton?
I was wondering if there was a possibility to make a video game to continue the story of The Spectacular Spider-Man? I was just recently playing Ultimate Spider-Man and that idea crossed my mind.
Hey, Mr.Weissman how are you doing,today.
One question I ask you:
Why put Rocket and Icon in Young Justice?
Now that spider man is on Netflix and is having great success, do you think there might be a revival to the series?
In Young Justice, why did Cassandra Wu-San choose the codename "Orphan?"
What is your issue with bisexual women, Greg? With the magic the gathering book you managed to get away with it by blaming the company but there is no one else to blame for harper and violets disgusting drunken predatory cheating kiss on young justice but you. At least you apologized for the first one, but that was just because it had become a major scandal right? With young justice you argued with fans and dismissed their concerns and you still got away with it, amazing.
Did Perditas heart naturally give out, or did Vertigo arrange it to do so?
How is it that Conner and M'gann had been together for 5 years and yet Conner didn't meet her parents until 2016? Did her parents know they were together? Did they know about their break up?
What month in 2011 did Guy Gardner, Black Lighting, and Blue Beetle join the Justice League?
Why is beast boy's dog worried for beast boy when beast boy speaks to wonder girl in young justice comic targets issue two?
Mr. Weisman,
Prior to receiving the powers of Shazam, what did Billy Baston, Mary Bromfield, and Freddy Freeman wanted to be when they grow up? Lawyers, doctors, athletes, etc.?
Mr. Weisman,
If Doomsday exists in the Earth-16 universe, is his origin story based on that depicted in the comics (either his pre-Flashpoint or post-Flashpoint origin), or is it based on one of his live-action counterparts (such as in "Smallville" or "Krypton")?
Mr. Weisman,
Which version of John Henry Irons' family from the comics is also canon in the Earth-16 universe?
Pre-Flashpoint DC Comics Continuity (New Earth):
Butter Irons (grandfather)
Bess Irons (grandmother)
Clay Michael Irons (brother)
Blondell Irons (sister-in-law)
Natasha Jasmine Irons (niece)
Jemahl Irons (nephew)
Paco (nephew)
Tyke (foster nephew)
Darlene (foster niece)
Post-Flashpoint DC Comics Continuity (Prime Earth):
Clay Irons (brother)
Natasha "Nat" Irons (niece)
Ezekiel "Zeke" Irons (nephew)
Lana Lang (fiance)
Mr. Weisman,
In comparison to what happened in the comics, what were the reasons why Earth-16's John Henry Irons created his Superman-themed suit?
1. Why did Billy give up so much of his powers to Mary and Freddy in the first place?
2. What year did Freddy leave the Team and why did he leave? Did he quit to help Mary or was there another reason?
3. Does Billy regret giving Mary his power and does he know she joined the Furies?
How much of Rictus body is robotic?
Was Miss Martian planning on wearing a different wedding dress during her and Superboy's wedding on Mars?
Why does Black Canney and Green Arrow not have any children together during the years between the time they got engage in 2010 to 2020 in universe of young justice?
In regards to the children of the heroes in the Earth-16 universe, who ended up being their godparents?
Mr. Weisman,
In pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (New Earth), the Justice Society of America has a comic book run that lasted from 2007 to 2011. In the first issue of that run, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were trying to convince Flash, Green Lantern and Wildcat to reform the JSA because of their importance in training the next generation of heroes. Batman pointed out in that issue that while the Justice League was a strike force, the Justice Society was a family. Wonder Woman pointed out in that issue that the next generation of heroes needed a moral compass. So my question is this: if the children and/or successors of the original Justice Society members are somewhere out there in the Earth-16 universe, why have they not considered the possibility that a modern-day Justice Society may someday be needed, and why haven't they come together yet? The reason I am asking this question to you is because I strongly feel that it may somehow become extremely important/relevant and may end up being addressed in a future season of Young Justice (for which I assume there will be a very good in-universe explanation), and because, to be quite honest with you, I really/truly do want to see a present-day incarnation of the Earth-16's JSA; even if you might end up thinking otherwise.
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, does the Earth-16 version of the Dark Archer (Arthur King/Malcolm Merlyn) have a son named Thomas "Tommy" Merlyn; like in the comics and in the Arrowverse? If this is true, then does the Earth-16 version of Tommy Merlyn also follow in his father's footsteps and has also become an archer and a villain, and was the Earth-16 version of Tommy once the best friend of Oliver Queen?
Apparently the blurb with the Sportsmaster action figure stated that he was a freelancer who did some work for the League of Shadows. On the one hand, this makes some sense since he did not bow to Ra's in Targets unlike every League assassin we've seen with Ra's. On the other, he seems very closely associated with the League, so I just wanted to confirm.
1) Was Sportsmaster a member of the League of Shadows?
2) If so, when did he leave?
3) Was Huntress a member of the League of Shadows?
4) If so, when did she leave?
5) In Young Justice: Legacy, Sportsmaster has a number of minions dressed similarly to him. Does he generally have a group of his own mercenaries, or are they League of Shadows assassins dressed specially for the occasion, or just something in the game and not canon? Or something else?
A few questions regarding Sorry Excuse and DC Showcase: Green Arrow. Both contain a scene of Sylvester the Skyman reporting on the traffic with fellow radio presenter Pat.
1) Is Sylvester the Skyman actually Sylvester Pemberton/Skyman/Star-Spangled Kid or just a reference to him?
It's been suggested that Pat either is Pat Dugan/Stripsey/S.T.R.I.P.E., or is a reference to him, but Pat is voiced by a woman in the film.
2) Is Pat in Sorry Excuse a man or woman?
3) Is Pat actually Pat Dugan, or a reference to him?
4) When was Sylvester born?
5) When was Pat born?
Has there been any discussions or floating ideas of rebooting the
Legion of Super-Heroes? The second half of the season would have a
good lead in to the Legions adventures.
1. In Failsafe, is Bioship in the mental training exercise with them? Or is Martian Manhunter just simulating her along with the other characters besides the Team?
2. Does Bioship participate in training exercises for her own education? Not just for a team member to log time learning to fly, but for her to learn/practice something?
3. Was Wolf in the training exercise?
4. Does Wolf participate in training exercises?
Mr. Weisman,
Since Klarion and Child talked about Earth-17 in Zatanna's Season 4 story arc, does that imply that the both the Earth-16 versions of the Lords of Order and the Lords of Chaos are most likely aware of the multiverse and that they have counterparts in other universes?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of the Arrowverse character, Nia Nal (aka. the superheroine, Dreamer)?
Since we didn't see her in the second half of Phantoms can you tell us what Em'ree/M'ree had been up to since arriving on Earth?
1. Did she meet any of the members of the original Team?
2. Did she learn more about Supermartian's love story?
3. Did she move out after Superboy was revealed to be alive or is she is still living with them?
Please feel free to enlighten. I really like her character and I'm sorry she didn't appear again until the finale.
On what day and month did Conner purchase his engagement ring for M'gann?
In Young Justice Wiki, there's a thread going on about whether Green Arrow and Black Canary are married, seeing as DC Showcase: Green Arrow has been confirmed canon thanks to Targets #2. Can you confirm if they are married now or not?
In Young Justice: Phantoms, Lor-Zod says that he was born 8 months after his parents were released from the Phantom Zone. Normally, I would take that as meaning Ursa Zod was 1 month pregnant when she was imprisoned, but seeing as she is an alien, not human, I felt I should ask this question:
Was she indeed a month pregnant when sent to the Zone, or do Kryptonian babies only take 8 months to develop in the womb?
Hey Greg,
I'm huge fan of your work and I loved rewatching spectacular spider-man on netflix. You've mentioned wanting to get a team-up with the human torch(I also loved the Johnny/Pete Dynamic). If possible how did that team-up plan on happening in your mind?
1. Was is it misunderstanding that lead to fight over a villian's actions?
2. A rivlary of trying to outdue each other(hopefully with pranks).
3. My personal favorite is how they're both teenagers and heros and can relate to each other on many levels.
PS
I loved the time travel reveal that it was Lor not connor who was killed. When did Metron get the idea for this "experiment"
Hi Greg Iâm a big fan of the show, I just wanted to ask afew questions about the switching of Beast Boys voice actor.
1. Was the original plan to make Beast Boy older or was he supposed to be younger in season 3?
2. When season 3 was renewed back in 2016 and Beast Boy was being casted did you plan on recasting his season 2 actor Logan Grove to reprise his role or was Greg Cipes the one intended for the role?
Are Raquel and Noble divorced? If so, what year did they get separated and divorced?
First I loved this past season on Young Justice.
As I was re-watching season 4, of course you have many writing credentials
but episode 20 in particular was very good. A lot of twist and turns. What was your writing process for this episode?
Here are some meta-gene related questions: How young can a person be to have their meta-gene activated. Black Canary's metagene emerged when she was in Kindergarten (also what was the situation that made her powers appear?) so is there an age limit to the meta-gene's activation. Also it's been established that the meta-gene can be tested for if someone has a blood sample, can the same be said for homo magi and homo mermanus. If someone had a blood sample of Aquaman (Arthur Curry) and Zatanna would they find an identifying gentic marker in their DNA that confirms them to be homo mermanus and homo magi respectively?
If you had been allowed to continue the Spectacular Spiderman series, and get to the event of Peter marrying MJ, what would be the major events that lead to it? Ex - Are any villains cured, do anymore characters learn Peter's identity, and what happens with Gwen for her and Peter to not work out? It seems too dark for the show to kill off Gwen at the hands of the green goblin, so I'm wondering how the show might have possibly handled it.
Have you considered Damian having a relationship with Raven in Future season of Young Justice. I know this may be a spoiler but I'm desperate for any content with them having a relationship after the movies so I will apology here and now as well as accept any no spoilers you give in answer. Please know that I have deeply loved your work since early childhood and hope to continue to enjoy it for more years to come.
Is Kobold an original character?
Heck with it. While YJ is a very serious continuity, has the Earth-16 version of Lex for any reasons, stole 40 cakes?
That being as many as four tens, and being very terrible:-(.
How would you have see the second half of Phantoms playing out if Superboy never developed Zone-Sickness? How would he deal with General Zod and his followers? What would his reunion with Miss Martian and the original had been like? And how would he have protected Phantom Girl once she was no longer comatose?
How did Cat Grant get her own TV Show and Network and does she no longer work for GBS?
I'm pretty sure about this but just to confirm. Was Superboy in a bit of coma himself since he didn't awake until April in the Phantom Zone and all the time skips in Kaldur's arc are they the same days that Conner was also trapped in the Zone?
Also why didn't the time and date blank at the start when the Phantom Zone was first revealed, but didn't starting including them until later near the end?
When Clark and Lois got married did Conner serve as Clark's best man and was M'gann one of Lois' bridesmaids?
Also what kind of wedding did Clark and Lois have and did they get married in Metropolis?
1. Do the Outsiders have a PR person (just like the Justice League has Catherine Colbert), or does Colbert handle their PR as well?
2. What kind of responsibilities does Colbertâs job entail? What does she do that the leader of the League canât (or doesnât want to deal with)?
1. What year did Mal and Karen begin dating?
2. What year did Bear and Dreamer begin dating?
3. What year did Kaldur and Wyynde begin dating?
4. Does Ronal have feelings for Lori Lemaris
5. Do Perdita Vladek and Roy Harper beginning to develop feelings for each other? In the new Targets comics, they seem close and appear attracted to each other?
Do you think Jason if weâre to be on good terms with the bat family would have a good relationship with Tim or Damien in year 22( 22 years after the team was formed)
Mr. Weisman,
What are the chances that the Earth-16 versions of Beast Boy and Cyborg might be put into a situation in which they'll have to temporarily combine together to become Cybeast; like in the comics?
Do you ever plan to introduce or make their existence known as the character ravanger, deathstrokeâs daughter or son depending on continuity in the show.
1. What was Clark Kent up to before he became Superman? Did he travel around the world or stick around Smallville?
2. Did his powers develop all of a sudden, or was it a gradual process? If the former, ow old was he when he came into his powers?
3. When did Clark and Lois start their relationship?
1. Is Black Manta's mame David Hyde?
2. Is he somewhere on the autism spectrum, like in the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
What the chances that the Earth-16 version of Geo-Force will eventually become just as bad his mainstream DC Universe counterpart was; just like depicted in the crossover event, "Shadow War"?
So i just rewatched the whole of the spectacular spider-man on Netflix and just check out how popular it's become since it no longer airs, so may i ask after a long hiatus my question will it be renewed to continue the story cause so many questions left unanswered from the show involving Peter, Liz, Harry, Gwen, MJ, Norman, and etc.?
Mr. Weisman,
If you had not been allowed to use the Illuminati as the name of the secret society in the Gargoyles universe, what other names would you have used for the group?
i grew up watching cartoons you made like young justice, scooby doo and spectacular spider-man and i recently started watching them all again do you think thereâs ever a chance you can continue the series of spectacular spider-man for 2 more seasons? if you have any plans for it at all
If Achilles was gay, does that mean Billy becomes gay when he says "Shazam!"?
Why did beast boy keep calls from queen Perdita on his phone in issue 1 of young justice comic targets after the breakup in young justice season 4?
Hello mr Weismann, I am a member of the lgbtq+ community. And I wanna say that a lot of people from the community appreciate young justiceâs lgbtq rep, but some of us were maybe a tad bit disappointed in some areas regarding it (like haloâs misgendering during rocketâs arc) I wanna ask, did you have any input by members of the lgbtq plus community? Are you a member of the community? Some sources claim youâre 59 years of age and it may sound a bit mean but that demographic typically doesnât have the best takes when it comes to social issues but the point is did you or the showâs writers had input by lgbt ppl on the representation? Or where some writers lgbt?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the members of the Legion of Super-Heroes seen thus far in the Earth-16 universe, what is the chronological order of their membership; from first to last?
Does the public know that Blue Beetle was being enslaved by the Reach at the end of season 2 and know that he is innocent in all the mess?
Why is Tuppence Terror no longer a member of Onslaught?
What year did Tye Longshadow's father die?
How did Tye's father die?
1. What did Alanna think of Miss Martian after witnessing what she did to the Kroltean in Earthlings? She was clearly disturbed and horrified by M'gann's actions. Did Alanna begin to see Miss Martian as a bad person?
2. Did Alanna also figure out that was one of the primary reasons why Superboy broke up with Miss Martian after witnessing first hand her abuse of powers?
3. How close are Adam and Alanna are with Superboy and Miss Martian? I'm guessing since they attended their wedding they must be good friends at least?
4. Did Adam come to learn the Rannian language at somepoint?
5. Do Adam and Alanna live together on Earth or Rann?
Are chameleon boy's people descendants from white Martians in young justice timeline?
Was black manta the only member considered to replace ocean master after getting imprisoned? Or were there other potential replacements?
1.Could Owen play chess with Xanatos without getting completely crushed?
2.Since Owen did feel jealous over Xanatos praising Mcbeth-robot in the price, did he feel any jealousy towards Goliath since Xanatos likes him a lot?
Thank you for taking the time for this
Hey Greg, love the show
1. Is there a story behind Dick's codename Nightwing?
2. And if there is a story behind it would it be the kryptonian legend similar to the comics one?
What were the original team's reactions to Superboy and Miss Martian's break up in season 2, including Garfield and their families?
Did any of them try and talk to M'gann and Conner to learn more about the break up?
Did any of them try and help bring the couple back together like Garfield tried?
Did they find out the true reason behind the break up and if so how did they feel after learning what M'gann tried to do to Conner's mind?
How did they feel when the couple finally got back together?
What is Martian Manhunter's day job as John Jones?
1. What did M'gann and Conner discuss at the end of Cornered? We know that M'gann told Conner about what she did to Kaldur, but what else did they discuss? Did she tell him about Artemis? Did they talk about their relationship and more importantly did Conner spend the night?
2. Was Conner inspired to wear gloves by Black Canary while fighting and when did he alter his costume? year specifically?
hi Greg wiseman my name is tevya smolka and i am huge fan of your work and I personally love this season of young justice it was really awesome and tons of fun and I was just wondering i know you said before its a if not a when we are getting a young justice season 5 but i was just wondering if we do get young justice season 5 do you think you and your team will ever get the chance to explore the multiverse similar to what marvel is doing because personally i would be all on board for a multiverse story within the young justice universe? if not then I understand its your story and I hope your story keeps on going because this show has been everything I ever wanted and I can't wait to see what happens next on earth 16 and these amazing characters, also thank you for giving me one of all time my favorite moments of seeing my favorite character Jonathan Samuel Kent meeting his uncle conner kent for the first time it was such a sweet moment that I smiled a lot I hope to see more of those two bounding with each other in the future. Thank you and I hope you have a great day and a great rest of the year and god speed man.
By Tevya smolka.
Does a version of Rory Reagan a.k.a. Ragman exist on Earth-16? Heâs one of my favorite DC heroes.
Hi! I finally finished Gargoyles on Disney+ since it's the first time show got available in my country and I cried at Xanatos's talk with Elisa, just the fact show ended with main characters living with "big bad" and it felt completely natural, happy ending for all got to me. Xanatos's just the best disney character now.
1) is Xanatos's quest for immortality tied to his deal with Puck/Owen? Since it's at the end of his life, but if he's immortal, he would never have to let him go? Or was his goal always immortality, before Owen?
2) In Gathering Puck suggests that Oberon "Can't you put off the gathering for a few more centuries? I'm sure we'll be happy to report to Avalon by then." Puck doesn't speak in "royal we", or does he here mean himself and Xanatos's family, believing they will succeed in becoming immortal?
Thank you for still keeping this! :D
Mr. Weisman,
1. How do you feel about John Constantine?
2. Could Constantine be a good fit for Earth 16?
If they announce a season 5 will you guys add raven and starfire
I like to read the memos you sent to the writers about various Gargoyles episodes and in the memo for "Sanctuary", you told Cary to remove a subplot with Thailog and a paintbrush. Apparently, it appeared twice in the original script. I know it didn't make it into the final product, but I'm wondering what was up with Thailog and his paintbrush?
This is the link to the original memo:
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=263
After taking a closer look I noticed a slight difference in M'gann's engagement ring at times in season 4. Typically the ring has a S Shield diamond with a gold band, but I noticed how at times there is a gold band surrounding the diamond itself? Was this an error or a change?
Did the prison matron Mgann try to save in Terrors for which Mgann blew her cover and was frozen by Killer Frost, the guards name was Hart which you revealed earlier, did Hart survive or did she die at the hands of Killer Frost.
1) Are the people frozen by the Ice Villains like Mr Freeze and Icicle Sr, do they all survive or do some die. For example like the family frozen by Mr Freeze in the first episode do they survive. I ask because the comment that Icicle Jr makes about "Tuppence" to "Tommy" in terror where he says "don't you will shatter her assuming since she is still alive" was difficult(will someone die immediately after being frozen) to understand so can you explain like what internal logic should we use everytime someone is frozen like do the different Ice Villains have different sort of freezing powers, if so can you elaborate on that.
2) Is there a reason for why characters like Icicle Sr, Ice of the justice league don't have pale/bluish grey skin but Icicle Jr, Killer Frost and Mr Freeze do.
3) Are of all the ice powered individuals meta humans, what confuses me is particularly Captain Cold and Mr Freeze using cryokinesis without a gun simply with their hands and they were both also wearing a meta human inhibitor collar yet still both use guns in Independence Day.
4) Is being frozen by any of the Ice villains power the same as being in the cryogenic pods that had once frozen and kept Roy Harper, because in the archives you have mentioned that Icicle Sr looks young for someone having fought Alan Scott because of being on ice, or is it specific to some ice villains like only the metahuman ones can do it or can Captain Cold cryogenically freeze someone.
5) Were any of the Ice Villains like Mr Freeze, Icicle Sr, Captain Cold or Killer Frost consulted to make the cryogenic containment pod or was it a purely Cadmus endeavour.
1. Ed previously wasnât interested in the âhero lifeâ before he joined the outsiders, but became a hero to inspire other meta-teens. Does he enjoy the life now the same way other characters like Cassie or Bart do, or is it still more of a duty/job to him?
2. Why wasnât he interested in the hero life (unlike Virgil)?
3. Was the choice to make Ed gay made so he could serve as a love interest for someone else, or was it something that felt like it fit his character? Or a little bit of both?
4. Unrelated question, but if youâre allowed to talk about it, what are some of the pros and cons of developing a show based on an original IP vs developing one based on source material owned by someone else/ a company? Which one do you prefer?
Thanks!
Can you please go a little further into detail about how Orphan/Cassandra Wu-San became part of the Bat-Family and her relationships with the other members? Is Bruce her legal guardian? Has she learned to read yet? Does she attend a school or is she homeschooled?
Who caught M'gann's bridal garter at the wedding?
1. How did Superman and Martian Manhunter react to finding out Conner and M'gann were a couple in the beginning?
2. How do they feel about the fact they are now family since Conner and M'gann are married?
3. Did they ever discuss the couple's break up in season 2 while they were away on Rimbor and if so how did they feel?
How did Wendy Harris find out the truth about her friends being superheroes?
1. Did she already know by the time of Phantoms?
2. Did she ever confront her friends?
3. How did she find out about Superboy?
4. How did she find out about Miss Martian?
1. What was G Gordon Godfrey up to in season 4? We didn't see him at all in Phantoms so I'm curious? Was he continuing to try and make things hard for the Justice League and Outsiders? Did he have any comments about Superboy's "death"?
2. Why didn't we see Cat Grant or Godfrey in Phantoms?
1. What are the names of Mary Bromfield's adoptive parents?
2. To confirm did Garth leave the Team because of Tula's death? It was too much for him after he lost the woman he loved?
3. When Wally and Artemis left the Team before season 2 was the reason behind it also tied to Tula's death? Were they afraid of losing each other or was there more to it?
4. What are the names of Billy Batson and Mary Bromfield's biological parents?
5. How did Billy and Mary's parents die?
So does Vandal have a metahuman superority beliefs like Magneto does?
Why are Vandal and Lex friends I figured Vandal would see Lex beneath him
1) Did you know that Judy Garland is the inspiration for Mary Marvel.
2) Now Mary is dealing with what is essentially a drug addiction, now is it a complete coincidence that you have her an addiction considering her inspiration Judy Garland's relationship with Drugs.
3) Is Freddie Freeman an Elvis Presley fan.
4) Is Mary Bromfield a fan of Judy Garland.
I was troubled by one of your responses.
In a recent response, you said regarding Mary Bromfield: "And even as an eleven year old, she was starting to do things more appropriate to Sergeant's 18-year-old body."
Were you implying that 11 year old Mary was sexually precocious? That spending some of her time as an 18-year-old was causing her to be hyper-sexualized like the girls in that very disturbing Netflix movie, Cuties?
That is very upsetting - if true. Or, am I reading too much into your response?
Have there been other instances where two light members heavily disagreed with each other. Like with ultra humanite and gretchen goode over halo?
Did you watch Ms Marvel, Greg? I highly suggest you do and take notes on how to write a Muslim female superhero correctly. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Kamala was created by actual Muslim women and is an actual personâ¦
people are not accusing you of not liking your own show, we are saying that you do not get what *other* people liked about the show in season one and why it was upsetting when you flipped the script. i cared about the right-knit relationships with the team and mentors set up in season one but they were tossed aside in favor of exploring and expanding earth-16 more. that is the choice you made, that does not mean everyone is obligated to like it.
Mr. Weisman,
In the Reach Apocalypse timeline, is it safe to assume that Dawn Allen likely never met her future husband, Jeven Ognats, and therefore, their daughter (and Bart Allen's cousin), Jenni Ognats (also known as the superhero XS), never existed...?
Hello, my first language is not English, so I apologize for any mistakes. I'm a big fan of YJ since 2011 and as an Argentine, I was very moved the first time I learned that Eduardo was originally from my country more than anything because I love his character in s3. but I always had these doubts about how and why Ed thought it was a good idea to escape from Arg to the other end of the continent. Literally how determined was he to fix his relationship with his father to do that?
Was there a specific event that made him take that decision or was it an accumulation of everything? Was it anger or sadness or something else? Did Ed have an explosive temper before he learned of his father's horrible reaction to his escape?
have you thought about which part of the country he's originally from? 'Cause it would make sense to me if he were from the northern region
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of John Constantine?
Mr. Weisman,
In pre-Flashpoint mainstream DC Comics continuity (New Earth), Bette Kane is known as the superhero Flamebird. In post-Flashpoint mainstream DC Comics continuity (Prime Earth), Bette Kane is known as the superhero Hawkfire. As such, if the Earth-16 version of Bette Kane eventually becomes a superhero, would she become the former or the latter?
Now just before finding out Conner was alive in episode 24, how would you describe M'gann's current state in September? She seemed at bit better compared to the last time we saw her or was she just trying to appear strong in front of everyone?
This is probably sound silly but I'm going to ask it anyway.
When Goliath is older well he eventually require reading glass?
Hey Greg, it was really cool you introduced new characters and threat in Season 4 in the form of the House of Zod!
I know the characters of Geo-Force, Halo, and Troia for example were always ideas that were considered when the show was created but didn't have a chance to bring in until being able to write Season 3.
1) Was the creative choice of introducing the House of Zod always something you and Brandon wanted to do when you created Young Justice or an idea that developed over time as you created the following seasons?
2) For the secret maxim and the House of Zod chant, would you say the House of Zod created both from their experience in the Phantom Zone or it was always part of their culture as a House?
Regarding Metron in Season 4:
1) Can Metron see through the timeline and know events as they happen or is it more of his intellectual genius that allows him to anticipate events?
2) Was his actions against Lor Zod a desire to protect the timeline from further interference, stop the conquest of the House of Zod, a small act of revenge against Lor Zod, or a little bit of all three?
3) Would the heroes ever know that his actions ended the threat of Lor Zod?
I have a few questions regarding the timeline changes in the first arc of Season 4:
1) Was there a timeline that existed in which the gene bomb ever went off? (As in M'comm successfully planted the gene-bomb, Lor Zod never tried to lace it with kryptonite, and the Team never discovered the bomb until it was too late?)
2) Could the bomb explosion have been stopped even without Lor Zod's interference?
3) The Legion interfered with past events to help Beast Boy cope with his trauma and save him and Superboy from the sandstorm. Was there an event in which Gar and Superboy were saved from the sandstorm without their aid?
4) Did the destruction of the zeta-tube and Mars-Earth satellite prove to be a small but non-consequential change in the timeline seeing as Martian Manhunter survived the explosion and Prince J'emm & Phantom Girl later communicated and transported themselves to the Watchtower in a later episode (Zenith and Abyss)?
Dear Mr Wiesman 1.Does Cassandra Savage occasionally wear a baseball cap or a newsgirl cap when taking notes for her father on something or when reading through her father's history book? 2. What was Cassandra's favorite part of her father's history book?
If black manta were to escape his prison would he still be banished from the light after the damage his son did while undercover?
The thing about stereotypes in media is that theyâre so engrained that we often donât even notice it and may unintentionally replicate it in our own work. So if someone is saying that youâve fallen into one, itâs not an insult against your character itâs just to bring it to your attention. Getting angry and saying that someone warning you against a stereotype is trying to tell you what to do is a weird way to respond.
What would happen if Demona succeeded and wiped out humanity? What would she even do then? Did she ever put any thought into the "after" of her plan?
1. How did M'gann cope with her grief during her and Conner's anniversaries like when they first met and got engaged? How did she spend those days? They had to have been some of the most difficult days since they were also the most important that had special meaning for her and Conner?
2. During the Team's 10 year anniversary did the original team members do anything special and did they do anything to honour Conner and Wally as well?
3. Since we never got to see much of Dick's grief over losing Conner, how would you say he dealt with it compared to the others?
Any chance of a Dick and Barbara moment in Young Justice Targets?
I miss them
Hey Greg,
Huge fan of the Young Justice series.
I have ideas for characters that would be perfect for Season 5.
Would you like to hear some of them?
Arc 2 of YJ ramble:
So I think Artemis's arc is the (very general) consensus for "favourite arc" and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that it's a fairly grounded arc which focuses largely on the The Team (tm) as it exists now, and focuses on a Light scheme, which is very sort of classic and familiar for this show.
One thing I want to mention structurally is how this episode has A, B, C and D plots. But unlike a traditional TV structure where we sort of dip into these plots inbetween one another, all four of these plots are happening at the same time in the same scenes. Let's say the four plots are Artemis/Onyx/Cassanda (Savage, henceforth known as Savage), the Artemis/Cheshire story, then Barbara/Cassandra (Cain, henceforth known as Cain), then Lady Shiva/Cain. All of which are all kind of taking place in the same spaces with the same narrative line. I think this structure is cool, I think it's kinda new, and I really like seeing new things and not just the same structure every time. But I think it was also a bit messy unfortunately. There's a lot of emotional payoffs in this arc, and they work *well*, they were good for sure but I wanted to be blown away by them.
I think it's cool and unique, but I also found it a bit overwhelming because it made it harder to kind of parse things (which for me was a recurring problem this season). It's harder to kind of get at the core or the heart of the story when there's four stories going on at once. Effectively it *feels* like the Cheshire/Artemis stuff should kind of be the core of things, but there's so much going on at once it's kind of hard to be as impacted emotionally. It was interesting to see the tone and presentation of the season 1 scenes contrasted with the season 4 stuff. I'm not sure the additional scenes added much necessarily, but there was some cool stuff to see. It added detail (and stuff like Jade giving Artemis a small piece of their Vietnamese heritage was nice) but I'm not sure if it added meaning? Does that distinction make sense?
I do kinda feel like this story could have been a 3 episode arc maybe, or at least a little tighter, a little more focused. There's a big dramatic battle between Shiva and Cain at the end of episode 3, but that's not really even the stories' climax, and I feel like I've never really had a chance to get to know either of these characters, so while the fight itself was awesome, and I like a lot of the concepts here I wish it had come together in a bigger way. I mentioned this in my arc 1 ramble; where I feel like delineating these stories and making them into more separate full stories somehow might have worked better. We wouldn't be dealing with Onyx, Cheshire, Artemis, Cain and Barbara all in one scene together, and this Cain-Shiva story could have had a bit more breathing room.
That's just my opinion, though. To be clear. I recognize that for sure.
Cheshire in particular, I felt like her characterization wasn't quite as strong here as it has been in past seasons. She's obviously a very damaged person, but she usually doesn't let that show in quite the same way she did here. The scenes are a bit wordier, there's more explanations for things. Which is all very necessary when these storylines are happening in the way they are. I don't wanna sound like I'm just ragging on stuff either, so I will say, I still love Kelly Hu, I love her design, and I loved the way she interacted with the other league assassins (her former team) if anything I wish there was more of that and that was a bigger part of the story. I think that was the main thing I missed with Cheshire here, was the sassiness, she was a little too melancholic for my taste. Still enjoyed the character a lot, though.
One thing I think I maybe missed was why did Barbara take such an interest in Cain/Orphan? Considering the wound she took for the sake of Cain's... soul, basically. It just seemed like a bold move for a girl she doesn't seem to know. I'm smart enough to understand that it's entirely possible Barbara and the league and whoever had a file on Cain, and Barbara felt sorry for her, or felt that she could be something else and that doesn't need to necessarily be spelled out, but it sort of felt like there was something missing there maybe.
I LOVE the new take on the Oracle story, though. Which I've never particularly liked (always seemed too sensational), and I like that Barbara lost her legs doing something heroic in the line of duty, rather than just being another Joker victim. And I really loved the connection between Oracle and Orphan.
Also speaking of the Joker, I thought this characterization was a lot stronger than the one from season 1. The Joker was funnier, but he also seemed more deranged. Bigger energy, which I think is always a better direction to take the Joker in. At the end of the day he is a clown. Leave 'em laughing.
As always the logistical aspects of the plot are *immaculate* and I think the skill with which Greg writes these caper plots is so underappreciated. The detail of Onyx creating confusion which made Savage less suspicious was something I picked up on immediately. (Basically the question goes from being "IS Cassandra Savage a spy?" to "Is Cassandra Savage OR Onyx *the* spy?") And so I felt very smart when Shiva mentioned it later in the arc. The glamour charm aspect was also very cool. I didn't REALLY believe that Cassandra Savage was punished by her father; Vandal is just too practical to make someone less capable. Too wasteful.
Also Artemis's characterization here is cool. I love that she's just got... a boyfriend. A nice guy she met. No star crossed romance, no repressed passion coming out as bickering. He's just a nice guy, and she's not sure she wants her sister to meet him yet. I love the normalcy of it. It's also just nice to see her moving on from Wally.
The whole conclusion on Infinity Island was interesting. Onyx felt a bit out of place just because again there was so much going on, but the themes of tradition, doing better, generational trauma stuff, that was all great.
I've never been too clear on this version of Ra's Al Ghul. Traditionally Ra's is either an environmental extremist, an anti-crime extremist or an anarchist extremist, or all of the above. But none of those seem to really fit this version of Ra's, who worked with the Light, and cooperated with an oppressive dictator and a technocratic businessman (both of whom seem like they SHOULD be ideological opposites to Ra's, but that's hardly a given I suppose, especially given that the Light is aware of the intergalactic community at large).
So I just don't know if I really understand what this version at least of Ra's is all about. He's usually a voice of reason in the big Light scenes. I kinda wish I understood more about him, I suppose, but there is just so much to cover so maybe that's unfair.
But all that is to say, is that what worked for me about this arc works *really* well. It's not necessarily *my* favourite of the season, I think it was really strong and fittingly nostalgic.
Whatâs your favourite storyline focusing on Conner and M'gann's relationship from each season?
Season 1 - The Beginning
Season 2 - The Break Up
Season 3 - Engagement
Season 4 - Marriage/Seperation
Which is your favourite and why do you like it. Supermartian is my OTP of Young Justice and I love their romance, but I would love to know what is your favourite storyline. Thank you for giving me one of my all time favourite couples EVER!!!!
What is Kru-El's exact relationship to Superman and What's his story?
In #20 of the young justice comics did mgann established a mind link with Marie
Mr. Weisman,
Out of curiosity, in the Earth-16 universe, is Superman's belief in the existence of Santa Claus about the same level as that of his DCAU (Earth-12) counterpart?
When you say religion is a part of many people's lives, and that's why you decided to put it in the show (young justice), I really disagree. I wouldn't object if that was all, but I think you went too far by showing actual prayers being recited like we were in church.
For example, sex is part of many people's lives (right ?) but you can talk about it without showing people doing it.
Why going into extreme with religion ? Why not simply put a symbol hanging at some character's neck and have him or her say : I'm muslim or I'm catholic and I like it?
I thought you had owned up to the mistakes you made with Haloâ¦isnât that why you hired MPAC in the first place, because you noticed the fan backlash and realized you needed to do better moving forward? Why are you all of a sudden doubling down on the bad choices you made and refusing to take accountability?
How old were M'gann's parents when they first met?
What year did they get married?
Hello Greg, I have a few questions regarding the designations in the show.
1. Is there a specific person who updates all the designations in the JL computer? We learnt from S3 that Dick created the G series designation by hacking the Justice League computer, so does that mean everyone who has access to the JL Computer is able to update and create new designations or are only a select few allowed to do so?
1b. If so, who are able to do so if you are willing to list them?
Questions regarding the designation series created in S3:
2. Was there a reason Dick Grayson decided to use the letter G for his teamâs designation?
3. Was there a reason Batman decided to use the letter Z for his teamâs designation?
So what was the Manhattan Clan's reaction to seeing 4th of July or New Years' fireworks for the first time after reawakening from their thousand year slumber? I'd imagine it'd be pretty jarring for them to bust out of their stone forms at sunset to find the sky full of loud bursts of bright colors.
With all the time travel plots you've done where a hero from the future travels to the past to prevent a disaster/tragedy have you ever thought about what if one of our heroes traveled to the future?
1. What is Iceâs real name?
2. What is Metamorphoâs real name?
3. What is Hardwareâs real name?
4. Is Ray Palmerâs full name Raymond Palmer?
In Young Justice Outsiders, are Bart Allen and Eduardo dating?
Aside from Lucas and Icicle Jr who else cried during the wedding because M'gann and Conner's vows were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL?!?!? Did anyone from the original team cry!!! IT WAS THE BEST WEDDING EVER!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
In the first season the Watchtower was more brighter, but why after season 1 the lightning becomes more darker?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to kill Vandal, it would suffice to put him an inhibitor collar and to kill him right after that (which any speedster could do in seconds).
And same question for the new gods, can they immortality be removed with a collar too ? Or does it just work on some species (meta-humans, kryptonians, martians...) and not on others ?
Thank you !
Hello Greg, I have been a big fan of the show since it first came out but I had two questions about Mâgann and Connors wedding.
1) Why was Mal wearing the Guardian costume when everyone at the wedding knows his secret identity and not just wearing a tux.
2) Why was Mal, Wendy and Marvin sitting in the last row on the bride side instead sitting closer to the front since they have known each other for as long as 10 years compared to other heroes that they know.
Hey Greg, first off I just wanted to say you and the YJ team kicked it out of the ballpark with phantoms. But I was curious, since Krypton was significantly more technologically advanced than Earth (before its destruction) what with them being interstellar and inventing the phantom zone projector, did the Kryptonians employ a zeta network?
After all Earth was able to create one with significantly less advanced technology and the only feasible in-universe alternative is boom tubes, which are restricted to New Genesis, Apokolips and their allies (since you need a mother/father box for).
Been meaning to ask: how'd you cast Quei Tann as Fury?
Hi Greg!
Thank you for continuing to answer our questions. I never thought a Season would surpass my love of Season One, but Season Four is now tied with it! It was so good.
My questions are related to the Magic School Bus.
1) does it have a name besides Magic School Bus?
2) what do you think the kids who were stuck in it thought when they saw it on tv in the Metropolis battle?
3) Did the Trolowags give it sentience, or is it just a flying school bus that had previously traveled through time now?
4) (not related to school bus) youâve previously said you planned through Season 5 as of Season 1. At some point, I believe you said youâd planned through Season 7. How many seasons have you planned at this point?
Thank you for you and your entire teamâs hard work at pumping out this product. Season fourâs representation had me gushing and recommending it to everyone. Iâm really looking forward to the tie in comics when they arrive in comic stores near me! (Theyâll probably be out by the time you answer this)
boggles my mind how you get multiple muslim women telling you they were personally offended by halo and you have the audacity to argue with them that you know better. you, the man who didnât even realize there was an issue with killing a woc graphically over and over, thinks he knows more about media representation than an actual muslim woman? oh wait, one woman said it was ok. with that logic, because trump has some black supporters, he canât be racist.
1. What year did Barbara and Jason start dating?
2. What year did they break up?
3. Since Barbara got back with her ex was Jason referring to Dick?
Considering that Raquel was one of M'gann's bridesmaids, and that Amistad was there, is there any reason why Noble didn't attend Conner and M'gann's wedding?
Mr. Weisman,
I made a mistake in an earlier posting in regards to asking about a Freddy Freeman's full name in the Earth-16 universe. Here is the correct version of the question: Is his full name Frederick Christopher "Freddy" Freeman?
Since the Red hooded ninja is Jason Todd what impact will he have and would that impact the Bat family
Mr. Weisman,
As of the time of this posting, it has been revealed on the internet that a new DC Comics character will be introduced in the third issue of "Dark Crisis." Nothing is currently known about this character other than the fact is that her codename is "Red Canary." It has been speculated that the secret identity of this character is likely Cynthia "Sin" Lance, a character from the pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (New Earth) who was adopted by Black Canary; but nothing has been officially confirmed at this point in time. My question to you is if you will ever consider eventually introducing the Earth-16 version of Red Canary; depending if her character is good/impressionable enough in the comics...?
Hi Greg!
You've previously revealed that Wonder Girl joined the Team in October of Team Year Five. Which month of Team Year Five did Tempest/Garth leave the Team?
1. If you donât like to be âtold what to doâ then why did you even seek out mpac in season 4? Just to have them validate you so the fanbase would back off? What if they hadnât been on board with what youâd planned for Halo, would you have changed it or did what you wanted to do anyway?
2. Do you truly believe just because youâre doing sci-fi that your show is incapable of falling into stereotypes? Have you heard of the non-human non-binary trope? Pretty much exclusive to sci or fantasy.
3. Do you not care that many of your Muslim female fans felt like the reveal that Gabrielle was dead the whole time was a slap in the face to those who thought theyâd finally gotten a superhero that looks like them? Do you even know what that feels like?
4. Do you understand that there are multiple white heroes, and thus some of them being aliens is not really a big deal, whereas there are no other Arab hijabi heroes besides Halo, and thatâs what makes it a problem? Also, donât you think her being a dead body is a little different than Superman being an alien?
Why did Lobo kill his clone?
Do you have a favorite Justice Kid from Young Justice: Phantoms?

Who's your favorite Young Justice main antagonist?
Season 1- Vandal Savage
Season 2- Black Beetle
Season 3- Granny Goodness
Season 4- General Zod
Was the decision to make Kaldur'ahm queer in any way inspired by Phil Jimenez coming out about his relationship with Neal Pozner in his dedication to him at the end of his Tempest miniseries?
Why do you think youre qualified to write about things like race religion and sexuality when youre very obviously not informed about any of those topics? You dont even seem to understand the basic concept of why certain tropes are harmful
1. Is Madame Xanadu a sorceress like Zatanna?
2. Is 'Nimue Inwudu' her real name or another alias. I ask because in the comics she is the Nimue from Athurian Legend.
3. Can Zatanna do the same things as Madame Xanadu?
4. I thought Khalid, Traci and Mary each having their own niche when using magic was interesting but kind of sprawling. Do they all have the potential to do the same kinds of magic?
5. Does heaven and he'll exist or is it more of a 'overworld' and 'underworld' situation.
1. What happened to Bio-Ship after the wedding? Did she go back to Mars to finally live out her retirement?
2. Why did Bio-Ship decide to retire and is it part of her lifespan? Does this mean her decision to retire also mean that her life is nearing its end?
Aside from Supermartian have any of the other YJ romances ever break up during the time skip like Mal and Karen or Dick and Barbara?
Hello Mr. Weisman
I'm a big fan of the Young Justice show and enjoyed watching the first two seasons of the show.Season 4 was much better than season 3. I'm so glad Miss Martian and Superboy got married. It's nice to see the original team members in the foreground. I'm so glad to see Zatanna and Rocket in particular.
Only the most disturbing thing in Young Justice was that Violet and Harper were together. Like all the other followers, I also find the Violet and Harper relationship wrong in terms of Islam.
But maybe you have heard such a comment before, but I still want to express my opinion. There are those who find the Violet and Brion relationship wrong because although Violet wasn't her choice, she was resurrected in this deceased teenage girl's body and was technically a newborn, just learning about emotions and being human.For Brion, the situation was even worse and traumatic. His sister was kidnapped, his family died, and he was expelled by his twin brother, the king of the country for which he sacrificed everything.Violet and Brion relationship seems rushed and wrong in that respect but in a way I found watching Violet and Brion relationship more real, intimate and romantic and although most people don't respect each other's opinions these days, Brion respects Violet and was really nice. I hope Brion and Violet They get back together like Superboy and Miss Martian.Harper Row is a member of the already known Batman family and it would probably be nice to see her as Bluebird if she came out in season 5 but I didn't like the Harper Row done by Young Justice and frankly, in season 3 episode 18, even though Violet said she had a boyfriend, Harper kissed her and Frankly, this Harper left a bad impression.These days, people change, evolve, so do people's minds so I don't know how people in the world view relationships in general but I don't think you can kiss someone who says they're having an affair and this show rewards Harper by bringing Harper and Violet together and makes cheating seem so normal But cheating is not a good thing if the relationship between Violet and Harper was made to support LGBT, I think there are LGBT relationships in this show already. Violet and Harper's relationship seems very strained.
Although this is an imaginary series, you have made it realistic enough to criticize it, especially by talking about religious issues with this season 4 and making it according to adults with the third season. Of course, it's a matter of preference whether to watch it or not. I'm sorry, Mr. Weisman, but when you put on a show that appeals to everyone, you have to respect people's thoughts and opinions because no matter how much the show has sprung from your imagination and the work of your teammates, the show has to be watched and demanded by people to keep it going.
By the way, English is not my native language. I used translate to write. I apologize if there was a mistake.
Hey Greg, I think it's so cool you voice the characters Lucas Carr and Ultra-Humanite on YJ!
1) Are they among your most favorite/most interesting characters from the DC Universe?
2) As a producer, did you feel you could choose to voice a character and be directly involved in the show?
3) As Lucas Carr, did you want to act as a guide for the heroes and comment on behalf of the fandom sometimes?
4) As Ultra-Humanite, I know his voice sounds a little different from your voice, did you make some adjustments through technology or could you do it yourself?
I'm going to ask 3 questions and the latter two have nothing to do with but I just want your opinion:
1. When are Starfire and Raven gonna show up?
2. What do you think of "The Boys"?
3. what do you think of "Invincible?"
Mr. Weisman,
Are the following relationships listed below correct in the Earth-16 universe?
Yuga Khan (real name Zonuz) (Darkseid's father)
Heggra (Darkseid's mother)
Darkseid (real name Uxas)
Suli (Darkseid's 1st wife, Kalibak's mother)
Kalibak (Darkseid's 1st son)
Tigra (Darkseid's 2nd wife, Orion's mother)
Orion (Darkseid's 2nd son)
Unnamed woman (Darkseid's 3rd wife, Grayven's mother)
Grayven (Darskeid's 3rd son)
Please note that I did NOT include Darkseid's possible relationships with the Earth-16 versions of Highfather and Highmother because there have been multiple continuity changes in the mainstream DC Comics universe since the beginning of the New 52 up to the present.
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, Kalibak, Grayven, and Orion are paternal half-brothers due to them having the same father (Darkseid), correct?
Mr. Weisman,
I made a mistake in a previous posting in regards to one of my questions; here is the correct version of that question:
Is the full name of Dick Grayson's father John Frederick Grayson?
Mr. Weisman,
1. In the comics, there two different versions for the full name of Dick Grayson's mother prior to her being married to Dick Grayson's father (John Grayson):
A. In pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (New Earth), her full name is Mary Elizabeth Loyd.
B. In post-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity, her full name is Marie Lloyd.
Which full name is the correct version in the Earth-16 universe?
2. Is the full name of Dick Grayson's father John Fredrick Grayson?
Mr. Weisman,
I may be out of line by making this suggestion to you, but whatever Season 5 storyline you have planned for Mary Bromfield, I honestly don't think that she should be redeemed so easily by the end of that season, and that she should be shown refusing to take responsibility for whatever wrongs she commits as Black Mary and should instead continue to blame those whom she feels have "wronged/betrayed" her even after she is stopped/defeated. If you do it this way, it would make her situation similar/parallel to that of the Gargoyles characters Demona and Jon Canmore/John Castaway.
How has it been for Conner since he was finally freed from the Phantom Zone and returned home. Obviously it might not be so easy. Yes he is back with his friends and family and more importantly M'gann and they are finally married, but he has got to be struggling. How has it been for him to be reajusting being back home, back with the Outsiders and all the changes that have occurred during the 6 months he was trapped? Is he getting therapy from Black Canary? Is he talking to M'gann about what he went through? Plus his job and just everything. It's a big adjustment I can't even imagine what he's going through.
I'm glad Icicle Jr. was at the wedding. It wouldn't have been the same without him, but it does raise some questions. Clark Kent was Connor's best man. Anybody with a half a brain is going to figure out that Clark Kent is Superman. Is that what the Connor was counting on? That Cameron is just too dumb to make the connection? Or, did he just not care? Or, is it for some other reason?
When Green Arrow "blindsided" Kaldur and resigned from the Justice League, Black Canary was upset by his decision of leaving her in the dark. Did both heroes ever make up after he and Batman Inc. rejoined the League?
Blake you know you'll have your answer in a year right ?
Hi Greg I'm currently working on a new and upcoming animated series project about a vigilante/anti-hero but I have a bit of a problem which is how can I write an original origin story that hasn't been done before?
How can I write good and effective dialogue for my characters for my new and upcoming animated series project of mine?
1. What did Martian Manhunter think when he learned Miss Martian was abusing her powers?
2. Did Miss Martian receive any sort of formal punishment from the Justice League or the Team when they discovered she was abusing her powers?
3. Does everyone (Justice League, Team and Outsiders) know the truth about why Miss Martian and Superboy were broken up in season 2 or do only their closest friends like the original team as well as family know the truth about what happened between them?
4. In Alienated after witnessing what she did tp the Kroletean, did Batman and Martian Manhunter begin to suspect Miss Martian was abusing and if so why didn't either of them confront her about it before leaving for Rimbor?
How did Dru-Zod and Ursa first meet and when did they get married?
Hello Greg. I have a few questions regarding some Kryptonian characters.
1. Is Kru-El the cousin of Jor-El and Zor-El?
2. Why was Kru-El imprisoned in the Phantom Zone and what crime did he do?
3. Who is Vor-Kil?
4. Will General Zod and the House of Zod become allies of Vandal Savage and the Light in the future?
I've read an interesting "Cronin theory" about how comic book and TV show writers "compete" against the audience on plot twists and mysteries, changing them when people on sites like Reddit guess the solutions before they're shown officially (like the infamous comic "Armageddon 2001").
1) Do you sometimes get annoyed when the audience guesses some of your plot twists or mysteries before the show shows the solution?
2) Have you ever changed or at least thought about changing a plot twist just to preserve the "surprise" after the original solution was guessed?
I also want to ask about Eduardo Dorado and the person he is dating.
3) Is this person Eduardo's first boyfriend?
4) Is Eduardo the first boyfriend of this person?
5) Is Eduardo this person's first love or maybe he was in love with someone else before?
Thank you very much for your hard work.
Mr. Weisman,
Where are the Earth-16 versions of Hawk (Henry "Hank" Hall") and Dove (Dawn Marie Granger)?
Hi Greg, I'm still crossing my fingers for Season 5. I'm ready for the adventure through Targets. First issue was outstanding.
1. We know Jeff eventually circled back to see Virgil after he discovered the truth about the Anti Light.
1A. Was Jeff motivated to go see Virgil in order to make up for the fact that he felt like he abandoned his protégé?
1B. And what was Virgil's mindset going into this reunion? We didn't really see him talk about it much. So was he upset/confused/frustrated/happy to see Jeff?
2. Upon Jeff rejoining and eventually leading the league, did Jeff and Virgil ever go back to being mentor and protégé? Or have they settled more on a relationship of equals?
Mr. Weisman,
1. Will Spoiler and Orphan eventually share the mantle of Batgirl; like they currently do in the comics?
2. If Cassandra Cain eventually becomes Batgirl in the Earth-16 universe, will her costume be the Batgirl version, the Black Bat version, or the Future State version?
3. If Stephanie Brown eventually becomes Batgirl in the Earth-16 universe, will her costume be the Batgirl version, the Spoiler version, or the Future State version?
4. If we ever see the Earth-16 version of Huntress (Helena Rosa Bertinelli), would she likely be based on the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) or post-Flashpoint version (Prime Earth) of the character?
5. You once said that the Earth-16 Superman's speed is surpassed by Shazam, Flash, and Jay Garrick. However, if his super speed increases in proportion to how much yellow sun radiation he has absorbed over the years, does that mean he'll actually eventually become just as fast as them at some point in his life?
Would the Gene-bomb have killed M'gann, M'comm and Garfield since M'gann and M'comm are biracial and Garfield has M'gann's blood in his system?
1. Is Superboy stronger than the Season 2-4 Captain Marvel/Shazam or are they roughly around the same level? Obviously strength doesn't win a fight I just want to know if Superboy is on the same level or significantly stronger.
2. If Superboy is stronger does he have half the strength of Superman or is it closer to 2/3?
3. Is Orion on the same level as Superman or is he slightly below him and other Kryptonians?
In the Spectacular Spider-Man you had this fun running plot in the background where two people Spidey rescued during a chase (they got tied together in web and didn't look too put out being so close together) and we later see them at a club during Valentine's Day where they get engaged. If the series had continued would we have seen more little bits of them in the background? Also where they sorta the Spectacular Spider-Man equivalent to that one bickering couple in Gargoyles?
Itâs not a vocal minority that thinks the show has dipped in quality lol even the most die hard YJ defenders have issues with season 3 and the middle part of 4 but people keep watching because to them having the show is better than nothing, did you not see all the hate when 3 first came out?
1. What kind of punishment did Wyynde and the other purist followers receive after they were caught?
2. When is Miss Martian's birthday? Month and Day
3. When is Artemis's birthday? Month and Day
4. When is Kaldur's birthday? Month and Day
1. What year was Rodunn born?
2. Since Tula and Garth joined the Team in 2011 did they not graduate from the Conservatory of Sorcery?
3. To confirm did Garth leave the Team because Tula died. It was too hard for him after losing her.
4. Why did Troia leave the Team?
5. Did Garth and Troia know Conner was going to reveal himself to the world at the end of season 3 or were they just as surprised?
Mr. Weisman,
If a Kryptonian get exposed to a yellow sun with different properties (like magical, for example), would they obtain completely new powers in comparison to the traditional Kryptonian powers we've seen in the Earth-16 universe? The reason I am asking this question to you is because I recall this happening to Superman in the "Superman/Batman" comic book story arc titled "Sorcerer Kings."
Where is Will Harper in the wedding? I believe the original Roy and Guardian are there.
If you do Season 3-11 based on W.I.T.C.H. comics how would you do it?
How come Wonder Woman and Aquaman (Orin) did not attend Conner and M'gann's wedding?
So, the questions on Ask Greg have been so caustic and accusatory lately. I get that religion and sexuality are touchy subjects and people are entitled to their feelings, but not even an ounce of grace or courtesy. Manners cost nothing, you know.
And I do just wanna say I really appreciate how open you are with your fans, Greg. You've been answering questions here for what? 20 years? And even some of the really negative ones you've taken in stride. I hope you don't take that negativity too much to heart and know that the greater whole of us appreciate what you do.
Maybe that's too schmaltzy, or maybe it's crossing a line, but I was actually *personally* really bothered by the entitlement, presumptuousness and downright rudeness of a lot of the "questions".
But anyway, I wanted to kind of give my feedback on Young Justice season 4 now that it's ended. So I'm gonna try breaking down each arc and what I thought of it.
First off, I did really enjoy this season. I thought it was bold and really powerful, and while I was a bit overwhelmed by it I thought it triumphed.
Arc 1 - Mars (M'gann/Beast Boy/Connor)
I'm gonna start off by saying what I thought of the actual breakdown of the season and how the arcs were handled. One thing I love about Young Justice is how each year feels really different. There's either a major time skip or there's a totally new structure, or tone, and I think that makes the show feel fresh and this season did that very well.
Having said that, I had a few quibbles here. I think that because the seasons were so segmented in terms of characters used and location, I KINDA wish the arcs had maybe been a little shorter, with more room for one off stories in-between, just some breathing room between all the really plot heavy arcs. Some of the arcs felt a little long-winded, and felt like the stories would have benefited from a bit of tightening in regards to the narrative.
But ultimately I did like that we got a little spotlight for each OG team member and how distinct each arc felt from the others.
Now onto the actual arc.
I LOVE the locale for this one. The take on Mars as a society was so cool. I like the caste system the Martians have, and I love the different idiosyncrasies of what makes their society work. There's also a nice little story about Connor meeting his in-laws properly, which I thought was sweet.
I also love M'gann's new design. Something about it just worked really well.
The Legion stuff worked fairly well as a plot hook. It's basically the thing that carries us through the whole season, so it had to be fairly strong, and I think it... mostly worked well. It's a bit amusing to me that combined Phantom Girl, Chameleon Boy and Saturn Girl don't have the full powers of a single Martian, but I did like their byplay. (Also we find out later Chameleon Boy is kind of messed up, but it's really underplayed and I kinda love that)
The political machinations stuff was great as always. I don't know if this is a solvable whodunit necessarily, but I loved all of the pieces. The Romeo and Juliet romance turned murderous, the machinations of the different factions. That all worked really well. I think the sort of stereotypical evil vizier bigot character Troy Baker was playing was a *bit* too rote for me, but he was probably necessary for the story being told. Also the actual elements of the mystery were very well done. The whole thing made a lot of sense.
I had some issues with M'comm. Firstly, because they're so alien and strange I *did* have trouble distinguishing which Martian was which a lot of the time. This is probably something that'll be fixed with a rewatch, but I really think M'comm would have benefited from a more distinctive design. Also while I like the character a lot in terms of his parts, I think it would have been helpful to see more colours and sides to M'Comm. He's in the season a lot, and while I love his concept, I love his cunning, Ben Diskin was a great casting choice and I love his backstory, I really feel like it would have been cool to see more sides to M'Comm -- what do his underlings think of him? His family? What's pushed him to the lengths he goes to? Not just hear him talking to M'Gann about it, but maybe seeing it in some more tangible way. If he had just been a one-off villain for this arc, I think what we got would have been fine, but he was really one of the primary antagonists for the whole season and he's just kind of miserable and cruel.
The only other moment that really bugged me was when Em'ree and M'gann are fighting, and M'Gann's mother says something along the lines of M'gann's human-like form being her "primary" form I suppose. I felt like this moment was being explained to me logically, when what I really wanted was to *feel* this moment, but I felt like instead it was being logically explained to me.
I think the social justice aspect of the story was... fine. I think this is a very difficult thing to cover well. Especially when you're dealing with aliens and magic. This is both a Romeo and Juliet story, but it's also a story about prejudice and racial inequality and it's all very surface level because there's just no room or time to have all these things line up naturally with the Legion plot, the M'Comm plot, the zeta tube plot, the wedding plot. This is sort of where I think maybe segmenting these into separate into individual stories/episodes a little more might have worked better. Give us as an audience more time to absorb things.
Having said all that, I know my tone can be a bit critical but I still REALLY loved this arc. I just loved this take on Mars and hope to see more of it in the future.
can you please stop baiting people by teasing that a character might play a role in a season when you know that they wonât? i only kept up with phantoms because everyone was so sure that jason was going to be part of nightwingâs arc and that maybe tim would finally have something to do, and you fed into that by teasing jason since outsiders and saying tim didnât show up âat least in the first half of phantomsâ in an answer which implied he could show up at the end, when you knew he wasnât going to. itâs a cheap trick.
What was it like for M'gann after she returned to Happy Harbour? It had to have been hard for her. That was the place where she and Conner built their life together and it had so many memories and places. Everything must have reminded her of Conner. And their home, going back without Conner and it was also the VERY place where he proposed to her!!! I can't even imagine the pain she must have felt. Did she ever consider leaving and starting over somewhere else and if not why did she decide to stay?
What was it like for Conner and M'gann when they finally got back together? Did they slip right back into their relationship or did they gradually rebuild it and started over?
Mr. Weisman,
If a Kryptonian absorbs enough yellow sun radiation after a certain number of years in the Earth-16 universe, will they become completely invulnerable to the effects of kryptonite? The reason I'm asking this question to you is because this actually happened to the Superman of the Kingdom Come universe (Earth-22) when he was temporarily in the pre-Flashpoint mainstream DC Comics universe (New Earth).
Since Catwoman: Hunted is "canon adjacent" to YJ, and, as you say, some events happened similar in Earth-16, what Team Year would you say the events from the movie take place in?
More Legionaire questions
1. Did they ever follow Conner and M'gann when they went on dates?
2. Were they ever almost caught by Wolf or Sphere?
3. What the Legionaires think of Superboy and Miss Martian's romance?
Since the Legionnaires were following Conner for a whole year...
1. Where did they sleep?
2. Where did they live?
3. Did they keep constant surveillance on his and M'gann's home in Happy Harbour?
4. Did they ever go inside the couple's house/apartment?
Hi Greg ! I suppose we'll never get to see season 5, given the actual world situation. Even if you started it right now (and you won't), that'll probably never happen. So I wonder : are you sad you couldn't develop more Nightwing's character ? You had a golden opportunity to develop his relation with Batman, father and son. That could have been a great moment in the DC universe and now it'll never be realized. Do you have planned to leave your untold stories for people to read them after you know you won't be able to tell them ?
What's the situation with Lia? Was she a runaway too and if so why did she leave? Is she in contact with her parents?
Mr. Weisman,
As of the time of this posting, DC Comics has introduced a new character who also happens to be Black Adam's successor and descendant. The young man's name is Malik White; although he has also been addressed as Malik-Adam by Black Adam. Also, from what I read on the internet, once he is given Black Adam's powers, Malik will go by the monkier "Bolt" when he transforms; wearing a white version of the Black Adam costume while sporting a red cape. As such, Do you think that we'll ever eventually see the Earth-16 version of Malik White?
Let me get straight...you claim that ONE Muslim woman of color told you there was nothing wrong with Halo and MPAC didn't come in until season 4 so they never said the original concept was okay. Meanwhile COUNTLESS amount of fans have been telling you there is an issue since 2019 with multiple people saying the exact same things over and over and over...and you STILL think that you're right? You've never once considered that maybe you're missing something Are you really that arrogant?
Hey Greg, in YJ season 4 what was the total number of Kryptonians that were trapped in the Phantom Zone including the ones that were named (Zod, Ursa, Non, etc.)?
Up until now Miss Martian never really called Mars as M'arzz so why the change?
Hi Greg! I had some questions about the Cosmic Treadmill in Young Justice.
1) What is it exactly and how does it work? In the comics it's used by speedsters to time travel, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Am I correct to assume it's primary/only function was to super-charge Bio-Ship so she could fly faster?
2) Why did it take Bart, Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy over three months to collect and assemble materials for it?
3) Who's idea was it to build a Cosmic Treadmill specifically? Bart's or the Legionnaires'? And where did the idea come from?
I have four questions.
1) If Batman is Tim Drake's Legal Guardian, does that mean Tim's real parents are dead?
2) Will we ever see Thymescira?
3) Has Cassie ever been to Thymescira?
4) Does Thymescira have mythological creatures? Like Griffins
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Did Alfred ever apologized to Bruce for not being a father figure to him as Bruce grew up, and did Bruce forgave Alfred for it?
#2. Since Alfred became a father figure to Dick Grayson, did he also do the same for Jason Todd and Tim Drake as well?
#3. Did Jason Todd and Tim Drake appreciate Alfred's fatherly-like love and support like Dick (presumably) did?
Is there a point when an Outsider is expected to âage outâ of the Outsiders, since the goal of the Outsiders is to inspire meta-teens by showing the world public meta-teen superheroes? For example, Cyborg joins the Outsiders when heâs 18 and leaves to join the Justice League when heâs 19/20 years old. Virgil is around the same age and Jaime is already 21. Would they be expected to leave the Outsiders and join the JL soon since theyâre already adults? Will Garfield be a 30 year old man leading a group of teens?
How you plan or came up with ideas for your episodes?
I always had a question about the Grimorum Arcanorum. It's a book of spells but is the book itself magical? cant the spells be transferred to another book?
The plot of the Musicology 101 radio play had much in common with the then-unpublished Torch Songs comic.
Was Torch Songs already scripted and adapted into Musicology, or was Musicology adapted into Torch Songs?
At the wedding in Death and Rebirth, we hear Danny Chase speak. Previously he seemed dependent on a psychic link to speak, and could only "talk" in beeps in the real world.
Did Danny learn to project his thoughts? Or has he been fitted with a thought-to-speech device like Gar, the Brain, etc? Something else?
Hi Greg,
You talked about how there's no viable way for Spectacular to come back due to Sony owning that version but not owning the right the TV Rights.
Sony however seems to have the right to make animated films (based on Into The Spider-Verse and the upcoming Across The Spider-Verse). And they still own the rights to the Spectacular version of the character. In theory, would Sony be legally allowed to put out an animated film in the Spectacular'universe?
I'm not asking if it's likely to happen, just if it's technically possible for them to do that.
Hi Greg and staff moderators!
I'm currently doing research on Young Justice Legacy for a video project I'm working on, and on the game's wikipedia page in the development section, this sentence was added sometime in 2014 after the game came out:
"Many of the initial delays resulted from production uncertainty. In its pre-production phase throughout late 2011 into late 2012, the development of the game shifted constantly between Little Orbit's in house development branch Game Machine, their contractor in Madrid Freedom Factory and a satellite Game Machine studio in Melbourne. Once initial quality issues and developer responsibilities settled, the game was able to be completed."
The sentence doesn't have a source or reference to it. Would you be able to verify any of this, like what time you and Brandon were initially approached by LittleOrbit/Warner Bros for the project, or was this possibly some misinformation that was just put on the page by a random editor?
How long was Kru-El sentenced to the Phantom Zone?
how long was Non sentenced to the Phantom Zone?
how long was Jax-Ur sentenced to the Phantom Zone?
Mr. Weisman,
There were two Superboy flashbacks in the Season 4 finale; one in which he meets Jonathan and Martha Kent for the first time, and the other in which he meets Jonathan Samuel Kent at some point after he was born. What the exact dates (mm/dd/yyyy) that these two flashbacks took place?
Mr. Weisman,
Will Jonny Kent be the only child of Clark Kent and Lois Lane in the Earth-16 universe, or do they plan to have more kids at some point...?
whAt other animated superhero shows are you comparing the young justice viewing numbers against? the only other animated dc show in progress is harley quinn and on other platforms the only ones I can think of are invincible and marvel's what if...and were you looking at overall views or by week?
Mr. Weisman,
By the time Beast Boy becomes an adult, do you think he'll rename himself as Animal Man; much like his "Titans Tomorrow" counterpart?
Mr. Weisman,
Why does Chameleon Boy's Ma'alefa'ak design looks different in both the first Season 4 story arc (specifically, the third episode, when the Legion saved Superboy and Beast Boy) and the Season 4 finale (when he fought Miss Martian's brother); especially since the transformation during the latter looks more like Beast Boy's version?
Mr. Weisman,
When was the Earth-16 version of Two-Face born?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Two-Face:
#1. Is his real name Harvey Dent?
#2. Did he used to be the District Attorney of Gotham City, and a close, personal ally of Batman? Also, how many years did he maintain the position of District Attorney prior to becoming Two-Face?
#3. What year did Harvey Dent become Two-Face?
#4. In regards to the person who threw acid and severely disfigured the left side of Harvey's face, was it Salvatore "Sal" Maroni (the second most powerful mobster in Gotham City after Carmine Falcone), or was it Erin McKillen (the head of the McKillen Crime Family, who represent the Irish Mob in Gotham City)?
#5. Is his wife's name Gilda Dent (formerly Gold)?
How much does Conner know about M'gann's other siblings beside M'ree and M'comm?
When did Conner meet M'gann's parents?
Mr. Weisman,
What is the name of the Old Promethean God who nearly reawakened due to Lor-Zod's actions on New Genesis?
1. Is Conner getting therapy from Black Canary after his time trapped in the Phantom Zone?
2. Has Conner told M'gann about his experience trapped in the Phantom Zone or did she see everything after she restored his memories in the season 4 finale?
3. Are the martians planning to celebrate Conner's survival and truly honor him for saving their race?
Hi Greg. Just wanted to ask, although you have probably heard this a lot, are there any updates of YJ season 4 streaming stats? I know that it was widely publicized that the decision to be renewed was contingent on these stats so I just wanted to hear your personal opinion following the season's end. Also, thanks so much for creating this awesome show and for all you effort!
Mr. Weisman,
Did Wally West truly died in the Season 2 finale, or is only his physical body destroyed and he has turned into some form of multiple displaced energy particles (due to being struck multiple times by the chrysalis' energy) and his scattered particles needs to be gathered in order to restore his physical form?
Mr. Weisman,
Does the entire world know that Beast Boy broke up with Queen Perdita? Did anyone sent or tweeted "hate messages" to Beast Boy in response to the break-up; presumably off-screen?
Mr. Weisman,
After the events of Zatanna's Season 4 story arc, was Billy ever informed about what Mary did, and did he ever attempted to contact her to try to talk to her about what happened...?
Hi Greg I'm currently working on a new and upcoming animated series project about a vigilante/anti-hero but I have a bit of a problem which is how can I write an original origin story that hasn't been done before?
How was Lor-Zod originally planning to kill Superboy outside the United Nations?
Shalom, Reb Weisman.
I was first introduced to GARGOYLES through the condensed VHS release of "Awakening" about 20 years ago, and I finished watching the entire canonical series (as well as reading the sequel graphic novels) online shortly after the pandemic started. After delving into the lore behind the series (and falling in love with it), there are several things I'd like to ask and put forth observations about.
My first question: The episode "Grief" is puzzling to me as an amateur Egyptologist, as it portrays only Anubis as one of the Third Race. What does this mean that his fellow gods -- both his immediate kin (Ra, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Isis, Nephthys, Set, Osiris, and Horus) and all the rest (Bastet, Sobek, Hathor/Sekhmet, Thoth, Taweret, Ptah, et al)? Are they part of a separate magical race, or is there some other reason?
1. Is anyone on the League suffering from diabeetus?
2. Is Superboy a toilet?
3. Which STD does Superboy have?
4. Since Superboy is suffering from IBS, has his rectum torn in half yet?
5. Do ya like jazz?]
1. Who has the worst diarrhea on the Team?
2. Does Superboy suffer from IBS?
3. Does Jay Garrick have Hemorrhoids?
4. Which leaguer has a known STD?
5. Does anyone on the League, Team, and Outsiders have Gonnorhea?
Why does M'gann not have freckles at her and Conner's wedding?
Why did Conner arrive in Bio-Ship at the wedding and why did M'gann arrive in Baby? I would have figured it would have been the other way around?
1. Did Conner go back to the Phantom Zone to release the kryptanian prisoners with the rest of the heroes or he did refuse to go with them?
2. Does everyone feel bad for not uncovering the truth sooner into Conner's disappearance since he suffered so much whilst trapped in the Zone?
3. How did the rest of the Outsiders find out Superboy is alive?
4. How did the rest of the Justice League find out Superboy is alive?
Why did Garfield still see the other outsiders as his friends after they did not get Garfield help from black canary before queen Perdida visit Garfield at the hub? If they did Garfield and Perdita would still be together.
1. How old is Miss Martian in human years? She is chronically 16 in season 1, but how old would you say she is in season 4?
2. What year did Superboy start wearing gloves and a long sleeved shirt as his primary mission outfit?
3. Do the original team know Conner was not at fault for his actions while under Zodâs control and do they learn about Zone-Sickness?
How old is Mary Bromfield by 2020?
How old is Billy Baston by 2020?
How would you describe M'gann's current state in July to September 2020. She was still obviously mourning Conner, but how would describe it? Had she improved over the last 3 months until she found out Conner was still alive or was she just putting up a front and tried to look strong in front of others?
Hello!
my sentences may be a bit meaningless and misspelled. This question may have already been asked, but I couldn't find it.
My question is related to the song "The Will to Love" from
WITCH . Even though more than 14 years have passed, I wanted to ask you for the sheet music for the 7th verse, if I may.
I want to note that in no case (if not) I will not post anything related to this on the Internet.
Please.
Why did Garfield choose to stay and attend miss martian and superboy's wedding after peridia said to Gaffield that she has move on in episode of 26 of young justice season 4?
Hey Greg!
1) CONGRATULATIONS! You added Troia and Sergeant Marvel to YJ! Finally, after missing out on putting them in season 2, you've managed to include them. How does that feel?
2) Do you have further plans for both of those characters, in the event that you get one or more season(s)?
3) Why the white and gold costume for Sergeant Marvel? (Not complaining at all - just curious, as she also has a red costume in the comics!)
4) No sign of Lieutenant Marvel. Do you have any plans - any at all - for Lieutenant Marvel (Freddy Freeman)?
5) I love that the show bounced around in time in the episode "Og Htrof Dna Reuqnoc!" I also love that the Invasion tie-in comic did this (between December of Team Year Zero and December of Team Year Five). Is this a narrative approach that you could potentially see yourself taking again in any future seasons of the show?
1) How old is Denny?
2) How old is Malet Dasim?
3) What was the general public's perception of the JSA like compared to the Justice League?
4) How do the Genomorphs feel about Match's abduction by The Light?
5) Are The Brain and Mallah in love with each-other like they were in the comics?
Hey, Greg,
I just noticed this while reading the first issue of Young Justice Targets, but isn't Stargirl's mole on the right side of her face? XD It's on her left side, but the show has it on her right side.
Is Oracle a member of the Team? Or is she considered to be a non-member who's around to provide tech support, like Mal Duncan in the first half of Invasion?
It's unclear in the show itself, which is why I'm asking. She has certainly provided support to the Team, most notably in "The Lady, or the Tigress?" and "I Know Why the Caged Cat Sings".
Hi, Mr. Weisman,
With Disney doing many revivals or continuations of a lot of their old popular shows (Boy Meets World > Girl Meets World, Thatâs So Raven > Ravenâs Home, The Proud Family, and there were also talks of other revivals for certain shows like Lizzie Maguire that fell through) for the last few years, do you think we have a good chance to a Gargoyles revival in the near future?
Hi Greg, I loved watching YJ when I was younger and I'm really excited to binge watch S3 & S4. I was wondering if you are planning to add in Starfire and Raven in Young Justice?
Thanks and I hope you have a great rest of your day!
Mr. Weisman,
What type of material is the Legion ring made of; considering it did not melt at all when Phantom Girl put her hand in the lava in order to save Superboy and phase him?
Hi sorry I got a little confused.
Jason Bard said when he introduced himself to Jade that he was set up with Artemis by his ex when she left him for her ex.
I think you already confirmed (one of) his ex-girlfriend was Barbara.
1. Is Jason referring to Barbara ? Or another ex?
2. If he is talking about Barbara. Would that mean her and Dick broke up after Season 3? But are currently (YJP) dating?
Mr. Weisman,
Between May 15, 2020 and September 17, 2020, was Mary essentially missing on Earth for five whole months? If true, did her adoptive parents (Nick and Nora Bromfield) reported her missing to the police? Did the Justice League, the Team, and the Outsiders also realized she was missing and did they even bothered trying to find her?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, when did Krypton first come into contact with New Genesis and the Green Lantern Corps?
Quick question about the Sentinels of Magic, what year did each of them start training with Zatanna?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Durla is the home planet of Chameleon Boy (Reep Daggle) in the 31st century. With Ma'alefa'ak and his fellow White Martian followers now living in 21st century Durla, does that mean that the 31st century Durlans are descendants of the 21st century White Martians? If not, does this account for the 0.16% probability of the timeline NOT being fully restored; something that Chameleon Boy was rightfully concerned about?
#2. Is Durla located in Space Sector 700 in the Earth-16 universe?
#3. Which Space Sector is Bgtzl located in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,
Now that Zatara will only become Doctor Fate on a rotational schedule, will he now have time to fix his hair and shave his mustache and beard so that he will look similar to how he was back in 2010?
Mr. Weisman,
If the saying that the deceased watch over their loved ones in Heaven is true in the Earth-16 universe, do you think that Sindella would be disappointed by her daughter's actions in Zatanna's season 4 story arc?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. I know this sounds somewhat silly, but when the school bus returned back to 2010, did Penny Randall actually managed to get to the bathroom on time?
#2. Since Black Canary mentioned that Penny Randall wanted to build safer bridges (presumably due to her own personal experiences), will we eventually see if her work has ultimately proven successful?
1) Are Conner and M'gann planning to have kids?
2) In Emergency Dive Orin asks "How long have you hated me" what would the real Orm have said to that
3) How would you describe the relationships between the members of the light in season 1. Allies, friends, or co-workers
4) I understand Ras leaving the Light but why turn over control of the Shadows to them?
5) Did the Light ever try to break Ocean Master out of prison?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, who discovered the Phantom Zone and gave it its name? When did this happened in the Earth-16 timeline?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Zatara flashbacks during the Zatanna story arc, what exactly were the mechanical monsters that Superman defeated? I mean, who created them and for what purpose? Also, since they were not visually seen, please describe what the mechanical monsters looked like? Finally, when was the exact date the news segment of Superman took place on TV during that time?
Mr. Weisman,
When Zatanna's mother passed away in 2008, did she ever wrongfully got angry at her father for not being there to say goodbye to her mother before she died; since he was away working at the time?
1) What was Katherine's plan for the Eggs when she got to Edinburgh?
2) Did Gargoyles ever have their own language before adopting human ones?
3) Are there any examples of Gargoyle architecture?
4) How large was the Scone clan by 994 AD
5) What would Katherine have thought of Maol Chalvim overthrowing their cousin Kenneth?
1. What are the main differences between a Motherbox and a Fatherbox, is it just an aesthetic difference since they have Mobius tech/operating system or is there something only or the other can do that the other cannot?
2. Out of universe why wasn't Spectre and the Golden Age Hawkman part of the Justice Society of America on Earth 16? Not asking if they exist on Earth 16 only what made you decide not to use them as members of the JSA in this iteration?
3. On Earth 16 what does the Courage of Achilles and Stamina of Atlas do for the Marvels? Sometimes one provides invulnerability over the other and vice versa, so what are the main powers that they provide?
This is something that confuses me but basically The league of shadows have had a contract on Jade ever since she betrayed them to save Red Arrow(also said in young justice phantoms Artemis arc), now this happens as per Red Arrows Journal happens around May 26 team year 4 yet in young justice legacy 17 February team year 5 Cheshire is working with the League of shadows and even telling them to keep digging so did she just rejoin the league of shadows and betray them once again and the league of shadows just allowed her to rejoin them after her first betrayal so easily seems weird to me.
1) So in Secrets Mgann is dressed as a zombie and Superboy is dressed as a mummy wearing bandages is this an intentional reference to season 3-4 that is Miss martian embracing her white martian status and Superboy getting burns due to the lava.
2) If this true can I expect Wally to return as a werewolf.
1) So at first I thought it was a coincidence since English isn't my first language but Talia's accent in Catwoman Hunted and Young Justice Phantoms seemed different to me, Then I even checked with the Young Justice wiki page and they had a similar conclusion. So are the accents for Talia different or are we just reading too much into it since in Catwoman Hunted she sounds like she has a middle eastern accent.While in Young Justice Phantoms she has a british accent.
2) Is there a reason why the two accents were different was it to demonstrate that Catwoman Hunted is canon adjacent.
3) I have always wondered like when you make things that are Canon Adjacent why not simply make them canon it doesn't seem like it would be a particularly difficult task like I get Green Arrow Showcase is pre young justice so When you tabulated the young justice timeline you saw that more elements had to be at play and changed the version of events that happened on earth 16 or GLTAS which you didn't work on so you wanted the freedom to pick and choose the elements you wanted from it. But why make Catwoman Hunted canon adjacent instead of making it canon, I mean there are a few things that are difficult to place in earth 16 timeline since by the time Batwoman becomes active Cheshire has already betrayed the League of Shadows. So why make these decisions you could just as easily altered the story ever so slightly to make it canon, I mean you are the sole writer for it I think. This is not really a criticism since I loved Catwoman Hunted but something that I found curious nonetheless.
4) Also in case we get a 5th season and I really hope it does, you will hit the episode 100 milestone, hope that episode is celebratory.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. What year was Sindella Zatara diagnosed with cancer?
#2a. Using the link provided below, what type of cancer did Sindella Zatara have?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cancer_types
#2b. If the cancer she had consists of multiple stages, which stage was her cancer in?
#3. After she died, where was Sindella's funeral held, and where was she buried?
#4. Did the Earth-16 version of Zachary "Zach" Zatara (Giovanni's and Sindella's nephew, and Zatanna's paternal cousin) attended Sindella's funeral?
Mr. Weisman,
I may be getting WAY ahead of myself by asking this question, but if "Young Justice" get renewed for another season, will there be at least one scene involving a special family bonding moment between Jonny Kent and Kara Zor-El?
Mr. Weisman,
Just so I can understand this correctly, Clark knew that Conner's burn wounds were still healing, and the reason why he asked Jonny if he wanted to see Conner because he was worried that Jonny would've freaked out (or something) at the sight of Conner's appearance at the time? And then, when he realized how excited Jonny was at seeing Conner again on the video screen, Clark then realized that there was nothing to worry about after all?
Was Lex Luthor and Superman ever friends or were they enemies from their first meeting?
Were any of the villains hesitant about joining the Light when Vandal sent out the invitations?
How come Black Manta and Brain haven't told Waller about the Light?
Did the average supervillian knew about Lex Luthor's shady dealing prior to season 3 was it a pretty open secret?
So when Klarion is searching for the Heroes as a bus he also ends up at Apokolips a year later was this because Klarion rightly sensed the presence of Mary Bromfield there now that she and Supergirl are the next generation of Furies.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Was all the damage inside the Fortress of Solitude repaired before or after Superboy's and Miss Martian's wedding?
#2. Even though it was not seen, is Superman's ship stored somewhere inside the Fortress of Solitude?
#3. How come the Fortress of Solitude does not appear to have any Kryptonian service robots (like Kelex) for internal security and other purposes?
I'm looking through all these questions and answers and it's kind of troubling me a bit. I can't tell anyone else how to write (and you have been doing it far longer and more successfully than I have) but part of me disapproves of answering all these questions.
Granted, a lot of questions on this site are amazing and deserve to be acknowledged. I just recall how David Lynch responds when a fan demands an explanation for what they just saw: "What do YOU think happened?"
I guess my question boils down to are there any plot points you don't know? Not because they haven't been written or decided yet, but because you believe its ambiguity should be kept up for debate? When I write, I have a bunch of opinions about my story and what my characters are thinking. But for most of it, I like to pretend I could be wrong, and that a reader's different interpretation could be more on-the-ball than my own.
Are there any mysteries in your stories (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice) that you want to leave up to the fans to draw their own conclusions? Something you could offer your OWN opinion on, but that opinion is not canon or official? If you'll indulge me, could you also give me a couple of examples of your unsolved / undecided mysteries (if they even exist)?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see animated cameos of yourself and Brandon Vietti on "Young Justice"?
Mr. Weisman,
In the post-credits scene of the "Young Justice" Season 4 finale, Grayven told Darkseid that Mary Bromfield and Kara Zor-El were the next generation of Furies. Given this statement, does that imply/suggests that there will be more new Furies in Season 5 who will also join Kara and Mary?
1. What is the chronological age of the Phantom Stranger?
2. What was the biological of Arion when Atlantis fell?
3. What age was Arion in his clone body?
4. Would Orin Orm, and Artur descendants of Arion and thus Vandal Savage?
5. Did the throne of Atlantis draw claim from being the heir to Arion or was it based on something else?
Since you've written for the setting, what's your favorite Ravnica Guild, and which do you find the most interesting, assuming it isn't also your favorite?
How is Danny able to communicate now without Motherbox?
What is going to happen to Danny now? Will he join the Team and how will the Justice League help with his situation?
Why did Danny run away from home?
Mr. Weisman,
If "Young Justice" gets a Season 5, will there be a story arc that addresses the consequences of Superboy's actions from when he temporarily sided with the House of Zod? I can't imagine that the entire world would've easily forgive him; even if it was somehow explained to everyone that he was not in his right state of mind when it happened, and I suspect there will likely be people who are likely still afraid of him and don't trust him anymore.
During the first episode in Zatanna's arc there was a moment where she bumped into a kid who was wearing a Superman S T-shirt. Why didn't you use that moment as an opportunity to show Zatanna's grief over Conner's death? Zatanna was really the only member of the original team who didn't have a scene where she grieved or took a moment to mourn Conner unlike everyone else? I know in the end her arc played an important role in Superboy's story, but still I'm curious why didn't you give Zatanna a moment to show her own feelings over losing Conner? A lot of fans were hoping for some insight into their friendship.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. What exactly is M'ree M'orzz's job position at Star Labs, and what exactly does she do? Also, during the four to five months she been doing the job, has she truly enjoyed working there?
#2. Aside from her work at Star Labs, did M'ree M'orzz learn anything interesting during her time on Earth?
#3. What made M'ree M'orzz decide to go back to her original name by the time of the Season 4 finale? I mean, it sounded like she put a lot of thought into this decision, but I'd still like to know the reason why.
1. Is there any significance to the fact, out of M'aatt and J'aann's 29 children, only 2 of them are A'ashenn and the rest are G'arruunn? Is that a common occurrence amongst mixed families? Would another couple that is A'ashenn and G'arruunn have a majority of children with the one skin color?
2. Why do female Martians specifically need to ask the blessing of their mate's parents?
3. Would the gene bomb have killed any Y'ellonn Martians if they were A'ashenn or G'arruun originally?
4. Mars have issues with prejudice, but generally speaking, how do they take LGBT relationships? Would a Martain who is LGBT face anywhere near the level of prejucie if they were A'ashenn?
5. Is Ma'alefa'ak (animal) a natural predator of Martians or is it just a dangerous, wild animal, e.g like a bear or wolf? Why are Martians so particularly scared of it? When Beat Boy becomes a Ma'alefa'ak, the Martians quickly brain blast him out of fear. I know Beast Boy was particularly vulnerable to such an attack, but would a brain blast be just as effective against a genuine Ma'alefa'ak?
Mr. Weisman,
Was the reason you made Perdita move on from Beast Boy because you wanted to show the severity of the consequences of his own actions, and also show how there are some things that can never be fixed once they are broken...?
What year did Orin and Mera meet?
what year did Orin and Mera begin a relationship
What year did Orin and Mera get married?
1. How did Conner feel about the fact that he was naked for most of the season?
2. How many years did Lagoon Boy hold a grudge against Superboy
3. Did Lagoon Boy hold a grudge against Conner because Miss Martian broke up with him to get back together with Superboy?
4. What is the temperature like in the Phantom Zone? Is there no heat or cold?
Mr. Weisman,
Ever since it was revealed in Season 2 of "Young Justice" that Queen Bee was responsible for the death of Beast Boy's mother, I have been waiting each season for the villain to be brought to justice for this crime. As such, my question to you is this: When will that day finally come?
Mr. Weisman,
As you've mentioned before, Beast Boy's Season 4 storyline revolved around him suffering from post-traumatic stress. However, if his Season 4 storyline had instead been written out with the focus being on suicide prevention instead of post-traumatic stress, would HBO Max have allowed it to be shown, or would that have likely been too graphic and dark for a DC Comics character of his young age...?
Mr. Weisman,
Has Mary Bromfield ever considered having her last name legally changed from Bromfield to Baston?
Are Jason Bard and Artemis still dating by the end of Young Justice Phantoms?
Why didn't black canary not apologize to queen peridia for not counseling Garfield before the breakup of Garfield and peridia after peridia was rescue in 2020? back canary might think if she council Garfield before peridia visit Garfield at the HUB Garfield and peridia might still together.
Mr. Weisman,
Out of curiosity, why did the heroes only appear AFTER the conflict with the House of Zod and Miss Martian's brother had ended?
1. When did Ed start dating his boyfriend?
2. When did Bart start dating the person heâs seeing?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the subtitle for Season 4 of "Young Justice," it seems that "Phantoms" had at least two meanings to it. The first one is obviously a reference to the Phantom Zone, but is the second meaning associated with each Team member's personal demons, or is it something else?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the events of "Young Justice: Legacy" be retold in comic book or animated film form?
Mr. Weisman,
It you had came up with the idea of creating secret messages using the first letter of each episode title during Seasons 1 and 2, what messages would you have used?
How did queen peridia get the scar on her body seen in young justice season 4?
How could you possibly know that Young Justice has higher viewing numbers than animated superhero shows on other streaming services? None of these companies publicly share their ratings, even the execs at HBO Max donât have that information. If you saw it online somewhere then sorry but itâs not accurate.
Hello!
What is the time difference between DC Showcase: Green Arrow and Young Justice's Coldhearted?
Thank you, have a good rest of your day!

How did Queen Perdita's mother die in young justice timeline? What year did Queen Perdita's mother die in young justice timeline?
Hello Mr. Weisman,
Personally, Iâm a fan of the Violet x Harper ship over the Violet x Brion ship, so I have a few questions regarding the former two:
1). Following the events of âEgo and Superego,â are Violet and Harper dating?
2). If the above answer is yes, when did they start dating?
3). When did Tara realize that Harper had feelings for Violet?
4). I remember Cullen saying he could keep a secret in the Season 4 premiere, does that mean he knew about Harperâs crush on Violet?
As always, keep up the great workð'.
Just wanted to say thank you for making Gargoyles. It came out when I was 7, and def. my favorite cartoon. Watching it at 34 with my son, brings me back to that age. and I hope one day you can make more episodes.
Did you "cast" anyone as...
the armored attackers
Denny?
How old is Josef Vladek? (Or rather, how old was he when he was murdered?)
Why did Beast Boy choose to get his dog wingman in the first place?
Mary Bromfield has officially ended up like Vandal Savage, Black Adam/Teth Adam, Ra's al Ghul, and Geo-Force/Brion Markov (The heroes who got lost fighting the good fight and become the very thing they fight against) correct?
How old was the dog wingman when beast boy became his owner in 2020 of young justice timeline? Where did Garfield get his dog wingman from?
Hi, Mr. Weisman,
1.) You once said that for Brooklyn's TimeDancing would take him to feudal Japan, where he would meet his mate, Katana. Does Brooklyn (and Fu-Dog) arrive in sometime in the Sengoku period?
2.) In an old ask, you said Brooklyn meets Katana before AND after his adventures in 2198, which meant he arrived in 2198, then met Katana in feudal Japan (where they were biologically the same age), then got pulled back in 2198, and then back again in feudal Japan. By the time of his second visit to Japan, is Brooklyn still the same age as Katana? I only ask because Brooklyn looks a lot older than Katana does when returns to the Manhattan Clan.
3.) I imagine Brooklyn might've learned Japanese his time in Japan during his adventures and Katana continued his lessons, and since Nashville is also bilingual, we know that Katana taught him, too. If we get a revival, will we get to see Brooklyn, Katana, and Gnash speak Japanese to each other, whether in a casual conversation or to rely a secret message only they would be able to understand?
1. I love that Miss Martianâs form changes each season, itâs such a fun way to visually depict her character development throughout the years. Was this planned from the beginning, or was it something that came up later on?
2. When the character designer presents options for each new character, are the options radically different or are they pretty similar with minor differences?
3. What makes you decide that a character should have a design change between seasons rather than keeping them the same (for example, Wonder Girl, Static, and Kid Flash get new designs in season 3, but others like Blue Beetle and Nightwing donât)?
1. What were Lor-Zod's thoughts on Superboy and Miss Martian's romance?
2. Was Lor-Zod ever worried about if Miss Martian were to come after him for Superboy's death?
3. What does Lor-Zod think about Miss Martian?
Mr. Weisman,
Aside from Courtney Whitmore, will we ever see the Earth-16 of other characters from the live-action "Stargirl" TV series (such as Yolanda Montez, Beth Chapel, Rick Tyler, Jennie-Lynn Hayden, Jakeem Williams, etc.)?
Mr. Weisman,
Is Dinah Lance's Canary Cry far more dangerous when used against individuals who have super-hearing (like Superman, for example)? I remember the Smallville version of Black Canary did that against Clark Kent in an episode of Season 7, and it caused him so much pain that he collapsed and his ears were bleeding.
if billy or Mary were to transform and stay in their transformed state for a year and then transform back into their normal state would their body' s have aged a year or would it just remain the exact same age before they transformed?
Step 1: beg all your fans to do all of the work to keep this series going time and time again and give vague promises that you'll get to certain characters eventually if we keep earth-16 alive to coerce people
Step 2: never deliver on those promises, keep adding more characters, continue to tease people that they'll get to all the characters instead of being honest to keep their hopes up and keep them watching on the slight chance it'll happen
Step 3: rage about fans "BITCHING" when they dare to complain
lol see your now trying to claim queen bee and noor harjavti are muslims to deflect from criticism about halo when there's nothing to indicate that they're muslim other than the fact that they're arab...you think arab automatically means muslim? you know that's a core component of islamophobia right? everyday you reveal your ignorance more and more, i don't know why you've got this reputation as one of the good white men.
Given your previous stance with magus & death/war along with cost in conflict:
https://youtu.be/gTdkkFLmAOU
Why are we supposed to believe that theres any chance that you might bring wally west back given how he pretty much died under the same circumstances thematically as magus did?
Not only that but others that you work with like Christopher Jones. Have categorically answered that he died when asked similar questions.
Mr. Weisman,
By the end of Season 4, Metron remains completely unaware the the Emerald Eye of Ekron is missing from his vault and is now currently in the possession of Ursa Zod. Once he finally realizes the truth, what lengths do you think he'll go to in order to get it back?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. What is the name of the preschool that Jonny Kent attends in Metropolis?
#2. Was Johnny finished with a day of preschool when he came home with Lois and heard Beast Boy mentioning Superboy in the Season 4 finale?
Mr. Weisman,
Is the following familial relationships within the House of El correct from the perspective of the Earth-16 version of Kara Zor-El? If not, please state the correct House of El familial relationships in your response posting.
Zor-El (Kara's father)
Alura-El (formerly Alura In-Ze) (Kara's mother)
Jor-El (Kara's paternal uncle)
Lara-El (formerly Lara Lor-Van) (Kara's paternal aunt)
Kal-El (Kara's paternal cousin)
Lois Joanne Lane-Kent (Kara's paternal cousin-in-law)
Jonathan Samuel "Jonny" Kent (Kara's paternal cousin once removed)
Kru-El (Kara's paternal uncle)
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of Apophis (the Egyptian Lord of Chaos); an antagonist from the "Injustice: Year Zero" comics?
What year did Garfield logan's skin turn green in young justice timeline?
Mr. Weisman,
Was Kara Zor-El sent to the Phantom Zone because all ships of any kind were banned from leaving Krypton following Jor-El's failed attempted warning to the people of Krypton that the red sun, Rao, would explode and take Krypton with it? If Zor-El sent Kara to the Phantom Zone, was it because he believed that Jor-El was telling the truth, and did Zor-El's wife (Alura El) also supported her husband's decision? Finally, if Kara had presumably suffered from zone sickness for over four decades while in the Phantom Zone, is it possible that the long-term exposure and her own inexperience (due to her youth) warped her mind so severely that it caused her to assume that her entire family had intentionally abandoned her in the Phantom Zone; thus leaving her open to possible further lies/manipulation by Darkseid after she was delivered to him by Vandal Savage? Could this then help explain why Grayven mentioned that Kara was "betrayed"?
Now that Cyborg is in the JL, can you confirm that his designation as an Outsider was D08?
Mr. Weisman,
Now that the SuperMartian ship has successfully went through the wedding phase of their relationship, when can we expect the newly happily married couple to have kids?
Mr. Weisman,
Was Superboy's decision to not kill Superman (despite General Zod's direct order) because, in part, due to the fact that Superboy had realized at that very moment (after he reflected on certain memories) how badly Superman's death would have likely affected Jonathan and Martha Kent, as well as Lois Lane and Johnny Kent?
Mr. Weisman,
Even though she was not seen using it in Season 4 during the Zatanna story arc, the "Wisdom of Solomon" is also one of Mary Bromfield's powers, correct?
Hello, first congrats on the fourth season, loved it and hoping for a fifth to be announced.
Second, my question is about the gap between the B and D designations, which I hope you can answer unless you consider them spoiler questions.
For the B designations there is a gap between B33 (Terra) and B36 (Orphan). We know that originally members of the Outsiders had B designations before the change to D designations. Is it possible to speculate that the remaining B designations, B34 and B35, belong to El Dorado and Cyborg respectively?
The other one is that, as we know, there are 3 D designations we don't know. D02, D06 and D15. From what we can speculate, D02 and D06 belong to the original Outsiders, and giving that the ones we know have a similar feel to the order they had as B designations can we speculate that D02 and D06 belong to Wonder Girl and Geo-Force?
Can we also speculate that D15 belongs to Windfall, since she is the only other Outsider we do not know the designation to?
Did Stargirl and J'emm J'axx flirt at Conner and M'gann's wedding?
Did Garfield logan learn kid flash's name was Wally west before or after Garfield begin living at mount justice?
if i could pay hbo max to greenlight two more seasons of young justice how much would it take?
How come non of the Superheroes ever thought of asking Doctor Fate to magically open a portal to the Phantom Zone so that they can save Conner? I mean if Klarion can use his magic to teleport into the Phantom Zone then I'm sure Doctor Fate can do it as well.
1. Was Freddy invited to Mâgann & Connerâs wedding?
2. What does the E Designation represent?
3. Is Kit Freeman brother to Freddy?
4. Are Spoiler & Robin dating? (Looked pretty cosy at Conner & Mâgannâs wedding)
5. Do you have a subtitle in mind for Season 5?
How and when did wendy harris learn that conner was superboy in young justice timeline?
Why did Black Canary not ask Garfield to come to her for concealing soon after she learn that Garfield stop going on missions after he return from mars?
So you worked a Shakespeare reference into one of Zatanna's backward spells... You, madman! Will nothing stop you?
Seriously, though, is there some sort of master-list listing all of your Shakespeare references?
I just didn't understand why the team played dead while Superman was getting almost killed. And Conner was in life threat too so... Why did they wait to act, taking the obvious risk Superman and Conner be killed ?
Mr. Weisman,
Depending on you handle Kara Zor-El's story arc in "Young Justice," do you intend to let her stay in the present day, or do you plan to send her to the future? I remember what happened to the DCAU version of Supergirl, and I was utterly heartbroken when she stayed behind in the future and left a goodbye message to Superman.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. What are the names of the mothers of each of Darkseid's three sons? When were they born and when did they died?
#2. When were each of Darkseid's three sons born?
1. I thought I had a decent understanding of how time travel works in YJ, but after the season 4 finale Iâm not so sure. How different does a timeline need to be in order for a time traveler to return to be trapped in the past? How were the Legionaires able to go home if Lor-Zod changed so many things?
2. In some shows that use time travel, characters meet their kids or grandkids, and later on itâs implied (or outright shown) that after they return to the past/future, those kids/grandkids would be the exact same people in the future, which is pretty unlikely (their parents would have to meet and conceive them EXACTLY the same way they did in the unaffected timeline). Does time travel work the same way in YJ, or does the butterfly effect still occur in the case of future descendants?
3. Why did Bart move in with the Garricks rather than the Allens, especially if the Garricks were so old? Were the Allens uncomfortable with taking care of Bart?
4. Did the Garricks ever have kids? If so, would they be speedsters too?
4. Do Barry and Iris consider Bart to be their grandson from an emotional standpoint? Or do they treat him as a younger family member or family friend?
What happened to Conner's clothes and belongings after his "death"? Did M'gann put them in storage or did she donate them?
1. Even though his case had gone cold was investigating Superboy's death and trying to find his killer still a priority of the Justice League, Team and Outsiders?
2. How did the rest of the Outsiders handle Superboy's death?
3. How did the rest of the Team handle Superboy's death?
4. Who told Perdita about Superboy's death?
1. Did Superman ever bring his son or parents to the Watchtower to visit Conner's memorial?
2. Is Icicle Senior still active or has he retired?
3. Does the rest of Happy Harbour know Superboy and Conner Kent are the same person?
4. How many memorial services did Superboy get?
5. Who was present/attended the lighting of Superboy's memorial in the Watchtower's grotto aside from Dick and Kaldur?
1. How did Icicle Jr. feel about Superboy's death?
2. How did Lex Luthor feel about Superboy's death?
3. How did Psimon feel about Superboy's death?
4. Who told the Forever People (Bear, Dreamer, Vykin) about Superboy's death?
1. How often did M'gann visit Conner's memorial?
2. Did M'gann and Artemis ever visit Conner and Wally's holograms together and did they become closer than ever since they lost their greatest loves?
3. How often did Superman visit Conner's memorial?
4. Minus Kaldur, but did the rest of the original team greet M'gann when she returned to Earth?
I know there was a lot of crying in the first half of the season and I LOVE the finale, but why didn't you give us a scene where everyone had a moment to cry happy tears over the fact Conner is alive or finally allow themselves to properly reunite him after the battle was over like a group hug with the original team?
1. Did M'gann ever have a moment on the watchtower where she weeped at the memorial grotto, mainly Conner's hologram just as she did at their wedding altar on Mars?
2. Did Wolf ever sleep at Conner's memorial like he previously did with Wally's hologram in season 3? And if so did Wolf sleep there regularly, like Hachiko the Dog?
3. How often did Gar visit Conner's memorial?
4. Does Lois have access to the Watchtower?
Is Karion's form really supposed to be a nine year old boy??? He doesn't really look nine
Are Robin and Spoiler in a relationship?
Iâm asking this because I saw the two of them looking like a real cute couple during the Conner and Meganâs wedding.
1) Why the warworld didn't turn "phantom zone colors" ? Is this because of Klarion's magic ?
2) Wait so... Klarion can teleport a small planet ?!!??! Just like that ?
3) How did the Light capture kryptonians so easily, given they were trained for decades in the zone, yet it seemed easy for Vandal to master the phantom zone rules better than them...
4) Does Superman have longevity far superior to a regular human or does he ages like everybody else ?
5) If you've answered "yep" to question 2, I'll be a little frustrated. I wanted details about his powers limits.
Is Klarion's physical form really nine years old? He looks just as old as the other adults in the show,just wondering.
Have you ever been given creative restrictions or an executive directive and thought 'okay, this will be a fun challenge to write around' or 'this means I'll just have to do something more obscure'? If so, any notable examples?
How old is Blue Beetle? You have said multiple times that he was born in 1999 but in Season 3 him and Static were said to both be 18 on December 31, 2018.
Hi,
I'm a huge fan of YJ, and seeing all of the recent criticism and praise about the show in regards to the representation of various faiths, sexualities, genders, etc particularly in the last 2 seasons, I had a few questions about your thought processes behind some of the choices you made with regards to it. I want to say that while I personally have a few quibbles with the way that some of it is done, its ultimately your show, and you're still doing a great job making it entertaining.
1. Do you feel like you've consciously "ramped up" representation of all of the things mentioned above (or at least visibility of them) in seasons 3 and 4? If so, why, or of not, why not?
2. Do you see a difference in representation that is interwoven into the ongoing story at hand and that which is not? Or do you consider the whole show to be one big story, so anything about anyone in the show is in your opinion relevant?
As an example, one of my minor personal quibbles with season 4 was the Violet stuff in episode 4x14, not because of the content of it, but because it seemed kind of out of nowhere and out of place and (so far) has led to nothing. I would personally contrast that to how you portrayed Native Americans in season 2, or even L'gann this season, where representing characters of different ethnicities and sexualities was interwoven into the story at hand, and particularly in the former, essential to not only the journey of that character, but the overarching plot as a whole. The fact that Violet, a character who represents a unique faith and gender is the character who we pulled away from the story to seemingly randomly focus on for half an episode seems to make that part of the show more of a PSA or educational aide than a part of the plot or character's journey, especially when you consider the content of the conversation.
3. Why Violet? There is a ton of other characters whose unique personalities or traits could have been highlighted, why was she specifically chosen, particularly when she was not a central character this season? I would also contrast that to Khalid and Zatara, whose tangents about their faiths were not only nicely symmetrical but also felt more organic and central to their characters and the decisions that they had made and would go on the make, which shaped the entire story of that arc. Obviously this is all my opinion, and my biases for or against certain characters probably shape it.
All of that said, I still think the show is great, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
Try to keep in mind that people having such strong emotional reactions to the choices this show makes ultimately means that theyâre passionate about it. People in all fandoms have meltdowns if they feel like something âlet them downâ i.e. the Game of Thrones and How I Met Your Mother finales. This is not personal towards you, even if it feels that way. I think you just make yourself far more accessible than the average creator with this forum and if itâs becoming too much then it might be time to set some boundaries.
For Season 3, episode "Evolution", I have two questions -
1. Is there a name to the alien race controlled by Starro or should we just consider them an 'unknown alien race controlled by Starro"?
2. Based on the design of the armada ships, was that based off of something in the DC universe or formed by the creators and yourself?
3. If Savage failed to defeat Starro, could he have actually fallen under control of the creature?
4. Does the Starro creature have a gender?
5. Seeing Starro is contained in the stasis pod, is it actually dead? (But I understand if this is no spoilers answer)
Greg why was it decide as part of the plot of the young justice comic story Targets that during the beginning of the story young justice comic Targets that Garfield would still have his pictures of queen peridia on his phone if was decided that the ending of the story of the young justice comic Targets was going to be that Garfield was not get to back together with Perdita in a dating relationship?
I see many people asking about much of this, but they seem to all buy misunderstanding Kryptonian naming customs, so I'll ask it a bit differently.
Many are confused by the names Ursa Zod and Lara El. First, I understand what you're doing there, especially after the reveal of Kara Zor-El.
Clearly, Lara El's full name would be Lara Lor-Van El, or perhaps you've decided on Earth 16's Krypton women drop the father's name entirely. Either way, that explains the lack of a hyphen.
My questions are:
1) Which is it? Do they keep the father's name as a middle name, and just not say it all the time, or drop it all together? Or am I way off?
2) What was Ursa's father's name?
3) A little less directly related, does Non not have a house? If not, why? I realize this was the case in the comics, but I don't believe it was ever explained there, so I'd love to know how you'd explain it.
4) Not about names at all now, but I'm sidetracked on Non now: since Zod and Ursa were surprised to learn of the destruction of Krypton, it's clear they didn't have anything to do with Jor-El's predictions as they did during the New 52 era. This suggests Non also has a different backstory than that period (he doesn't have much of one at all right now, from what I can find). In that, he was Jor-El's teacher and was banished (and labotomized) for continuing to warn about the end of days after the Science Council forbade Non and Jor-El from doing so. It's clear that much of that doesn't work in your continuity, but how much of that is held over? If that's a spoiler request, I do apologize.
Who takes care of Garfield logan's dog Wingman when beast boy is on outsiders missions?
Has Dick Grayson ever contacted his uncle, Richard, since his family died? Also how old is Brainiac-5?
Is it possible that the Earth-16 version of Kara Zor-El was somehow exposed to black kryptonite and her dark side had been brought out to the surface; thus explaining why she joined the Female Furies after she was given to Darkseid by Vandal Savage? I remember Lex did that to her in the comics, but in that particular case, Kara's dark side was SPLIT from her and was its own separate entity; who claimed to the good Kara that she was who Kara truly was all along and she also claimed that her true mission was to kill Kal-El.
1 Has granny goodness been demoted after her failure with the anti life equation?
2 How long did desaad torture granny goodness after her failure?
3 does granny goodness hold a grudge against desaad after he tortured her?
After giants and blisters death did mâcomm recieve any more meta-humans?
Mr. Weisman,
I remember that when Supergirl had her own solo comic book series back in 2005, Batman once believed that Supergirl's abilities appear to rival or potentially surpasses Superman's own abilities. As such, would that likely also be true for the Earth-16 version of Supergirl as well?
Following the many indictments against Lex Luthor following Season 3 but seeing as how he is still part of the Light in Season 4, did he face any justice or do the wheels of justice have yet to keep up with him?
Hey there Greg. Just got some questions about the cosmic side of earth 16
1.- Why were the lords of Order and chaos so worried about Darkseid? I mean Child , while backed by the lords of order was unstoppable, so why would Darkside be a threat for then to listen to savage?
2.- Was the mind control method used by Granny Goodness in season 3 actually the real Anti-life equation?
Granny, and the light, assumed as much, but Darkside doesn't seem to act like it, given its supposed to be his ultimate triumph card.
3.-Are the "New Gods" in a lower hierarchy compared to the lords of Order and Chaos?
While less powerful, they are more connected to the source, aren't they?
Thanks greg!
Hwy there Greg. Is just have Some superman questions
1.-Is kryptonite lethal to kryptonians even when they have no powers? Say if they are under the effects of a red sun or drained of their powers?
2.-How was Superman able to tank Ursa magic blast as the emerald empress,if he is vulnerable to magic? Shouldn' the blast had harmed him?
3.- Are there other variants of kryptonite besides green kryptonite, like green and gold?
4.- We know Superboy inspired the legion. But what about Superman. Is he still remembered In the future? In other versions there was even a superman museum
5.-The article Zod read in the fortress of solitude described Superman as "Earth's greatest hero"
While this was certainly only Lois opinion, is this a general or popular opinion belief among the heroes/ people of earth?
Thanks Greg!
1) So about Durla... To me, this is the most pressing question regarding whether the timeline has been restored or not.
(We know there's a 99.84% likelihood that the future is as it was before Lor-Zod went back in time, but obviously the other 0.16% accounts for the various changes that have occurred, such as the wedding being postponed, the Phantom Zone projector being destroyed in the 21st Century, and the Kryptonians all getting out of the Zone, amongst other things.)
My question is this: with Durla having been gifted to M'comm and the A'ashenn's as reward for his co-operation, does this mean that the future of Chameleon Boy's home world is being altered from what he would know from his own life? Is Durla's future now changing completely (thus potentially threatening the existence of Chameleon Boy's family line), or is it the case that M'comm and his people are actually the ancestors of Chameleon Boy's family? This may or may not be a spoiler request... I don't know whether it qualifies as one because it wasn't clear from the finale whether or not this might come up again. (I suppose it could come up if the Legionnaires get their own season... I don't know.)
2) Obviously the Eye of Ekron being out there in space in the 21st Century presents a potential problem for the timeline, in the event that it was likely meant to remain in Metron's vault for a while longer. (Maybe it was... maybe it wasn't... No way to know, I suppose.) My question is: are the heroes of both the 21st Century and the 31st Century now aware that they need to keep an eye out (haha) for the Eye of Ekron and try to discover its whereabouts? I'm not asking whether this is a priority for them -- just about whether they are aware that this is a rather important outstanding/unresolved issue.
3) Kind of moot but very important: did the gene-bomb that Desaad gave to M'comm detonate and kill off lots of Martians in the original timeline? I noticed that Lor-Zod alerted Conner to its presence. Had he done nothing, it would surely have exploded. Is this what happened in the original timeline, and if so, who died (if any) out of the name characters in Young Justice?
I think I'm pushing my luck a bit with these questions as they're quite lengthy and involved. I'm sorry if they're a bother for you. Thank you for taking the time to read them and please take care!
Is helga jace still under the control of the Anti-Life Equation?
I think I speak for everyone who saw the "Young Justice" Season 4 finale post-credits scene when I ask this important question: Has Kara Zor-El been brainwashed/manipulated, or has she joined the Female Furies of her own free will?
Who is A-33, the Bat-Family ally mentioned in "The Lady, or the Tigress?"
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, is Krypton the fourth planet of the planetary system known as the Rao System? Are the names of the other planets called Boron (the first planet), Phalon (the second planet), Thalon (the third planet) and Haron (the fifth planet)?
Orion is A-52 and then we have two mystery A-designations before J'ann and M'att. Regarding these mystery designations (A-53 and A-54), do they belong to Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy? I ask because Phantom Girl was given a designation (A-51), so there is a precedent there for Legionnaires being given A-designations. And both Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy were present at the wedding (though of course they left before the ceremony started), so it's reasonable to think that they might have Zeta'd there.
Mr. Weisman,
In terms of percentage, how much of Superboy's burn wounds had healed by the first day after the heroes won the fight against the House of Zod and Miss Martian's brother? The reason I asked because it clearly took nearly two full days for Superboy to be 100% healed.
I loved "Death and Rebirth"!
Some questions:
1) When in Team Year Ten (in terms of which month) were the Justice League Reserves officially established? We know, of course, that Superman and Black Lightning were discussing candidates for the Reserves in August (as per the credits scene for episode 18), so I suppose the answer must be either August or September given the new designations that were heard at the wedding... Which month is it?
2) Does Windfall have designation D-15? I ask because it seems logical, given what we know. A total of 16 known characters have been (and/or still are) Outsiders, with only D-02, D-06, D-08 and D-15 still unknown. As I mentioned in another question, it seems likely that D-02 would be Wonder Girl, D-06 would be Geo-Force and D-08 would be Cyborg. Now that we know that Looker is D-16, that leads me to wonder if Windfall is D-15.
3) Did everyone who was visible on the screen when Superman and Black Lightning were discussing JL Reserves candidates ultimately accept the offer? I'm sure Mary Bromfield will get a NO SPOILERS, but maybe you could confirm the others (where applicable)...
4) It's interesting that Tempest is E-03. Are the JL Reserves designations ordered according to how long ago it was that the character first became active as a hero? If so, then perhaps E-01 is Zatara and E-02 is Red Arrow... but anyway, I won't get carried away in speculating which number applies to whom in this new category.
5) Finally, I noticed that Troia chose to sit alongside Garth at the wedding, even though she obviously could have sat with Cassie or anywhere else, really. They work together at the U.N., so I guess it's natural that they would be close, but I wonder if you could confirm whether this is the case, please? (Not asking you about anything too spoilery, like whether or not they are an item.)
Mr. Weisman,
What is the military rank hierarchy in Krypton's Military Guild? Aside from Dru-Zod (whose highest rank was General), where does his wife and the rest of his followers fall in this hierarchy?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Krypton:
#1. How big is the planet in comparison to Earth?
#2. How many moons does Krypton have and what are their names?
#3. How many continents and oceans does Krypton have, and what are their names?
#4. What form of government existed on Krypton?
#5. Was Krypton's red sun, Rao, named after the Kryptonian deity of the same name?
#6. Was the primary religion on Krypton known as Rao-orthodox Religion, or Raoism, for short?
#7. How long is a Kryptonian year in comparison to Earth?
#8. How many guilds existed on Krypton, and what are their names?
#9. Was Krypton's history divided into historic periods like Earth? If true, how many were there, what were their names, and how long did each historic period lasted?
#10. Aside from Rao, were there other deities that were worshiped by the people of Krypton? If true, what were their names?
Mr. Weisman,
If Jonny Kent meets Kara Zor-El, would he likely call her "cousin Kara" OR "aunt Kara"?
1. Who has been your favorite Young Justice character to write for?
2. If you could write for any character in the universe who would it be and why?
Hi! Iâm sorry for disturbing u, I just have a few questions to ask and it wonât take much time.
a) I was just curious if it was a joke when you said that Klarion is 9 y.o. or was you serious? Fans of this character are in real shock (lol ahah) we all were sure that Klarion is physically older (like ~15) for a decade ahaha! Honestly, some of us thought that even Child was from 10 y.o. so now Iâm clarifying this small detail on behalf of many fans
b) I am a big fan of the witch boy after YJ so thereâs another question about him: if Dr. Fate has a tower of Fate, does Klarion has smth like that? âThe place of powerâ, I mean
c) Will you show us smth about Earth 17? Or no spoilers? Or, on the other side, maybe we donât need to attach great importance to small phrases XD
In any case, even if you wonât find these questions good and wonât reply, I want to say that I truly love Young Justice, Iâm thanking you for YJ4 (it was awesome! ^з^) and we all truly hope to see YJ5 to admire the story!
Mr. Weisman,
When Miss Martian confronted Saturn Girl (when she appeared to defend Danny Chase) in the Season 4 finale, he identified her as a human. As such, should we assume that Saturn Girl is a 31st century descendant of humans who eventually colonized on Saturn's moon, Titan?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Lionel Luthor:
#1. When and where was he born?
#2. When did he get married?
#3. Was he an abusive father towards his two children, Lex and Lena? If true, why was this the case, and which one of his two children suffered the most from his abuse?
#4. When and how did he die?

Are there any plans currently to release the music of Phantoms physically, the way Outsiders got a CD release?
In YJ 4x03, Phantom Girl says that they're not supposed to intervene on anything except for "the one big thing". Was she referring to saving Conner? Or something else?

Three questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of The Joker:
#1. Did his transformation take place at Ace Chemicals, a chemical manufacturing facility located in the heart of Gotham City's industrial district?
#2. Following his transformation, can it be assumed that he is no longer able to remember his true name?
#3. Whatever happened to his partner-in-crime, Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel) or Punchline (Alexis Kaye)?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Who are designations B-34 and B-35?
#2. If the E-series are for the members of the Justice League Reserves (in which 24 potential candidates were being considered during the events of Season 4), do you believe that this group should have its own separate page in the YJ Wiki?
I got one question and one question only..
1. Who can twerk the best in the Justice League?
Did the forest hive(or at least a few of them) join mantis in siding with apakolips against New genesis?
Mr. Weisman,
Does Alfred Pennyworth have any other family members in the Earth-16 universe besides his daughter, Julia Pennyworth; since the events of "Catwoman: Hunted" is "canon-adjacent"? Also, how old would Julia Pennyworth be in the Earth-16 universe as of the end of Season 4 of Young Justice?
Dear Mr Weisman,
I don't have a question but I would to express my feedback about Halo Young Justice.
As a Muslim, I'm happy that you're representing Muslims in cartoons but I'm disappointed/worried with how Halo's represention of Islam is handled, because Islam, you're can't be gay and Muslim. Because if you become gay then you're no longer Muslim, and in order to be a Muslim, you can't be gay, non binary or anything like that. It's one of the terms of being a Muslim.
I know you & your team mean no disrespect or offence to anyone, and that representing the LGBTQ+ community is important to you and everyone else. But please understand that in Islam, gender pronouns, gender transition and being is not allowed. It's just the way it is.
Please consider re-writing Halo's character or changing Halo's religion, because the Muslim community will take offense to it if you continue to represent Muslims as LGBT characters.
Kind regards,
Flak
1 Is mâcomm still under darkseidâs employ after having been granted his world for Aâashenns?
2 grayven said Kara and Mary are apart of a New generation of furies. Is big barda also their leader?
Mr. Weisman,
What are the chances that Tomar-Re's Green Lantern Ring (now worn by the female Forager) might somehow contain a pre-recorded message that can only activate in the presence of BOTH Kal-EL AND Kara Zor-El, and that message somehow explains the exact circumstances of why Tomar-Re was unable to save Krypton?
Mr. Weisman,
I wanted to thank you very much for a very wonderful and exciting Season 4 of "Young Justice." It was a very strong season from start to finish and it exceeded all of my expectations. In regards to the Legion of Super-Heroes returning to the future, I sincerely hope that this is not the last time that we will see them, and I hope we will see more members of the team one day. In regards to the elements that you incorporated from "Green Lantern: The Animated Series," I hope that we will see more of that, and I hope that we will eventually see Aya again at long last (if that one episode from "Justice League Action" is any indication of hope of a reunion between her and Razer; even though she is currently in a different DC Universe). In regards to the post-credits scene in the Season 4 finale, I was happy that you fulfilled a long-awaited years-long wish (for me and presumably many other people) when you introduced THAT specific female character, and I can't wait to see what's in store for her journey from villain to hero going into Season 5 (which I personally suspect will be much darker than Season 4).
So is Phantom Girl named that because of her connection to the Phantom Zone? Or is that just the biggest coincidence in the universe?
Just watched the finale of Phantoms, great job to you and the rest of the crew responsible. Quick question, how old is Brainiac 5 and is his name Querl Dox like the other continuities?
1. What year did Bear and Dreamer become a couple?
2. Is Zatanna currently dating anyone by season 4?
3. What year did Kaldur and Wyynde become a couple?
4. What year did Kaldur and Wyynde begin living together?
5. Have Kaldur's family adopted Delphis?
1. How did Conner's hair regrow in the last episode? Was it Zatann's magic?
2. Where are Conner and M'gann going for their honeymoon?
3. Are Garth and Troia are couple?
4. Has Superboy rejoined the Outsiders following his return in the finale?
5. Does everyone know that Mary has joined Darkseid and the Furies?
Mr. Weisman,
On a scale of 1 to 10...
#1. ...how angry do you think Kal-El and Kon-El will be once they find out that Vandal Savage gave Kara Zor-El to Darkseid?
#2. ... how angry do you think the Justice League, the Team, and Outsiders will be towards Zatanna once they learn about the lengths she went to in order to get her father back (as depicted in her Season 4 story arc) and how Mary's turn to villainy is directly connected to Zatanna's actions?
When did Mal Duncan and Karen Beecher marry?
How do Hal, John, and Guy feel about Alan Scott. Did they approve of his actions as Green Lantern? Also do the Guardians know about Alan Scott and if so, do they condemn his actions? Last question, how did Guy get into a coma? I really hope I didn't ask for any spoiler questions
Mr. Weisman,
Are the Bio-ships on Mars supposed to the equivalent of Earth's whales? I swear that certain sounds they make are very similar to the sounds that whales make.
Dear Mr Weisman 1 Does Big Barda get along well with Super girl and Mary or are they both a bit to brash for her tastes ? 2. Does Lady Shiva occasionally wear a baseball cap when mentoring new members of the league of shadows ? 3 Besides Dubbilex and kraig did any other non Harper Genomorphs attend the wedding in season 4's final episode ?
First off I want to preface this with saying that I completely love what you've done with Khalid, how his story is interwoven into his magic style and even mannerisms like berating himself for missing Trogowog aftercare, how his faith has been integrated and everything he means to people.
That said I had some mixed feelings based on how he is as an adaption, and was hoping you could shed some light into the thought processes that were carried out when adapting him, to hopefully put those mixed feelings to rest.
1) So, the first question is about how his religion was adapted. But hopefully something a little different to what youve been defending ad nauseum. In the comics, Khalid isnt muslim, instead he doesnt really have a personal faith, but struggles due to the influences of his muslim father, christian mother and the Egyptian Gods who make themselves known to him and the role hes to play. And, with angels, jimm, and ofc Bast, looking over him ans his role. I have a particularly strong connection with the Egyptian faith, so that was a major appeal to me.
So my first question is why the decision was made to simplify Khalid's religious experiences for Young Justice as seems to be the case?
2)Speaking of Khalid's christian mother, in the original she is Elizabeth Nassour, with her connection to Kent making her a little more in the know to the entire sorcery elements including Bast's presence, while her occupation as an archaeologist not only fit well to the history of the Nelson family, but let her show her own personal strenth and specialication.
For YJ, it appears as though you have replaced her with Jane Nassour, who seems to have a very different approach to the Life, in spite of sharing Elizabeth's connection to Kent so seeming to be intended as the same character. I am curious to the reasoning on this change, particularly the name since that seems like an odd thing to change even irrespective of the other changes?
3) I had always gotten the impression that the Khalid Nassour Doctor Fate was largely created because someone wanted to do a story about Ibis, but DC wanted the bigger brandname; due to how the series retconned (which was retconned back) Nabu to simply be a priest of Thoth/Zehuti, with a perculiar staff akin to the Ibistick being instrumental in their arsenal, and the blood of the Pharaohs, that made him the candidate. The Ibis family, or at least the Ibistick, is commonly seen among Zatanna and Zatara's possessions.
So my third question is if this were a partial inspiration for the connection that you forged between Zatanna and Khalid?
4) I found the usage of water in Khalid's Test particularly inspired, given the way that death by drowning is treated in Islam. The comic had somewhat similar notions in the first story, with Anubis' floods and Mohammad Nassour trapped in it until being rescued.
I was curious if this particular element was inspired by the comics usage of water, or if MPAC and other resources lent towards this particular meaningful affect (or other reasons I am not considering of course)?
5) Khalid being from Egypt ethnically was a fairly significant point to his comic character, with a further struggle between the balance between Fate duties (to an Egyptian Goddess guardian), modern american med student life with his girlfriend, and his childhood friend with an unrequited crush trying to push him towards social activism against the atrocities being committed by the Egyptian government. Along with immigrant elements, with his father (which would fit quite well with Giovannis story).
So, my question is somewhat tangential to that. Egypt has a high proportion of Sufi Islam, which has elements of mysticism understood to come from Allah, which feels very reminiscent of how Khalid and Mohammed felt that his sorcery was a gift from Allah that needed to be used for his purposes. I was curious if this Sufi connection had been discussed with MPAC and integrated accordingly, or if it is just a happy coincidence?
What are your favorite Gargoyles and spectacular Spider-Man episodes?
Is most of the human population of the 31-century meta human in young justice universe?
Out of all the semi-obscure comic characters to introduce into the show, why did you pick the Bad Samaritan (not a complaint, just wondering)?
How old is Supergirl in "Death and Rebirth"?
Did Superboy ever tell Superman that he chose Conner Kent because of Kent Nelson and not Clark Kent? If so, what was Clark's reaction?
1 did vandal savage ego grew after he sucessfully managed to convince the lords of chaos to drop their support of child?
2 Was a part of the reason Why vandal savage thought the lords of order wouldnât intefere with project thrinos because he thought he thought he managed to convince them and the lords of chaos to be on his side(or at least that they wouldnât side against him) during childâs rampage?
Mr. Weisman,
If Young Justice gets a fifth season, would you ever consider creating a funny situation in which Icicle Jr. becomes romantically interested in Supergirl, and then he asks Superboy to help him out in the same way he previously did for Marvin White and Wendy Harris in their own romantic relationship?
Mr. Weisman,
Assuming that he is no longer identified as Kaizer-Thrall or Mother-Thrall now that he is rescued and among superhero friends, what superhero codename will Danny Chase call himself?
Mr. Weisman,
This will likely have happened off-screen, but after Superboy and Miss Martian got married, where did they go to spend their honeymoon? Also, is Miss Martian now legally known as Megan Morse-Kent on Earth? Is she also now known as M'gann M'orzz-El?
Why Greg was part plot of young justice phantoms that black canary would no council beast boy on his depression before Perdita came to visit Garfield at the hub?
Mr. Weisman,
Was Jonny Kent born in Metropolis General Hospital?
I noticed Perdita perhaps making eyes at Terra during the wedding. Am I looking too deeply into this, or is that who she moved on with?
Mr. Weisman,
Now that the Season 4 finale officially confirmed that Jonny Kent's full name is Jonathan Samuel Kent, can you now confirm that his first name honors his adoptive paternal grandfather (Jonathan Kent) and and his middle name honors his maternal grandfather (Samuel "Sam" Lane)?
I know you've implied Traci is still LGBT+ in the show, but it's a bit disheartening to see a character who has canonically been a lesbian in the comics for years dating a guy with no mention of her sexuality. I still appreciate your dedication to portraying LGBT+ and particularly bi characters, though, and was very glad to see Harper and Violet get together. Are there any characters in the show that are lesbians or otherwise LGBT+ (besides Ed and [redacted character you haven't been allowed to make canon] that you can discuss? I've always gotten a feeling about Mist and Livewire, idk why.
Mr. Weisman,
I think I may be getting ahead of myself, but I suspect that when Kara sees Kal-El and Jonny Kent, I think that she will assume that the former is her uncle, Jor-El, and that the latter is her cousin, Kal-El; assuming she has already seen Kal-El as an infant prior to Krypton's destuction. I don't know what she'll think about Kon-El if she sees him, but I hope that she does not have a hatred for clones like her New 52 counterpart...
Perdita told Garfield that she has move on in episode 26 of young justice season 4 so why does Garfield Logan still have pictures of queen Perdita on is phone in Young Justice Targets comic issue 1?
Mr. Weisman,
When Stargirl was interviewing Garfield in the Season 4 finale, he openly called her Courtney, and she clearly didn't react to that. As such, how long has the world known that Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore and Stargirl were one and the same person?
Mr. Weisman,
Exactly how many years has Dudley H. Dudley been the legal guardian of Billy Baston?
Mr. Weisman,
1. If Billy Baston and Mary Bromfield are biological siblings, will we get an origin story about them, and will that origin story somehow play a significant role in Season 5; considering that Mary has now become Black Mary and Billy currently has no idea whatsoever that his sister has become evil?
2. Does the Wizard know that Mary is now using the power of Shazam for evil, like Black Adam did before her?
Mr. Weisman,
If Billy Baston and Mary Bromfield are biological siblings in the Earth-16 universe, does that mean they were born as twins (considering we only know they share the same birth year of 2000)? If so, then why is Mary Bromfield NOT Mary Baston? Also, when did Billy and Mary find out the truth about their relationship as siblings? Finally, if Billy and Mary are twins, who is the oldest of the two siblings?
1) The white martians are at the bottom of social ladder on Mars. Are they also at the bottom of the economic ladder? That is, do they do most of what we would call the "blue-collar" jobs on Mars?
2) If some or most of the White Martian workforce suddenly left Mars for Durla, what would happen to the Martian economy?
Have Will Harper and Lian Nguyen-Harper visited Geranium City? Do all Cadmus creations such as the Harper clones, genomorphs, and Superboy consider each other extended family in some way?
Mr. Weisman,
According to Brainiac-5 (Querl Dox), he calculated a 99.84% likelihood that the timeline has been substantially restored. However, should we concerned about the remaining 0.16% that Chameleon Boy (Reep Daggle) mentioned, and could that small percentage have a possible effect on the events of Season 5 of "Young Justice"?
Did the OG Roy Harper getting his arm amputated have anything to do with the same thing happening in Justice League: Cry for Justice? Cry for Justice was published in 2009-2010, which would've been the window the first season was being produced, so was this coincidence, DC executive request, or inspiration?
Hi! Is Supergirls introduced as Kara Zor-El because she is a child or because it is more formal kryptonian naming? Ursa was introduced as Ursa Zod. Or is this a phantom zone translation fluke.
Mr. Weisman,
When Miss Martian angrily yelled at Lor-Zod to "Stop trying to kill my man!," was the reason because the Legionnaires had informed her off-screen that Lor-Zod was the one who tried to kill Superboy in the United Nations (in 2019) and on Mars (in early 2020); which in turn really pissed her off by the revelation?
Mr. Weisman,
Will Season 5 of "Young Justice" continue with the story arc format of Season 4, or will it revert back to the story arc format of Season 3? Also, what subtitle names do you tentatively have in mind for Season 5?
Greg Weisman why was it part the plan of the young story that Garfield to meet fall in love and date Perdita if it never
intended be as part of the story of young justice that Garfield and Perdita would get married as adults?
Mr. Weisman,
After the General Zod and the other Kryptonians were defeated, did Miss Martian informed her family that her brother was sent to the Phantom Zone (even though we, the viewers, know that actually didn't happen)? If she did, when did that happen, and how did her family react to the news?
Mr. Weisman,
If I'm not mistaken, Black Canary's suggestion to the other heroes for a sanctuary is nod to the location of the same name which played an important role in the "Heroes in Crisis" event in the comics, correct? Will this location play an important role in Season 5 of Young Justice as well?
will garfield and Perdita ever get back together or his garfield find new love
Mr. Weisman,
If Young Justice gets a Season 5, will see the magic school bus scene from Big Barda's point-of-view?
Hi, greg. How r u doing?
1) how do u deal with such negativity that YJ keeps getting? Like, you know the majority still likes ur show, but i still see ppl saying YJ isn't good since season 1 - but i also see ppl saying that but instead of 1 is 2. A lot of the bad things ppl say about YJ is so strange. I wouldn't be surprise if one person say they don't like the show because, idk, dick walks strangely (Just an example).
2) LOVED the fact that the ice guy went to the wedding and that you voiced that guy who marries them.
3) did dick grayson became nightwing as a teenager(since jason is robin in Team Year 3) or he had a normal life for a time and then he became nightwing?
4) in the reach apocalypse, how did bart know who the heroes were? (Their names). They formed a rebellion? If u could tell more about that timeline, pleaseeee say it. Probably i'll get a no spoilers, but still.
5) are there lgbt ppl in spectacular spider-man?
6) do u plan more than one big big story? - the darkseid one and another i mean.
Sorry for any mistake. And if you could skip at least 1000 years in the next season, it'd be nice :)
Mr. Weisman,
1. It was stated that Kara Zor-El was sent into Phantom Zone alone decades ago. Based on this statement, it sounds like that event took place prior to Kyrpton's destruction, and I strongly suspect that it was her parents' idea in order to save her. However, the one thing that confuses me is that if Zor-El and Alura-EL intended to sent Kara away, why put her in the Phantom Zone; as opposed putting her on her own ship and have it follow Kal-El's ship like in the comics (even though we would know she would have been delayed by decades due to unfortunate circumstances)?
2. It was stated that Kara Zor-El, like Mary Bromfield, was betrayed, but how is that possible? With Mary, I can understand because that's how she felt when Zatanna excluded her from the Doctor Fate rotation plan. With Kara, however, we've seen no evidence to suggest she suffered some kind of betrayal. Unless, perhaps, she met General Dru-Zod at some point and he told her lies about what her family, or maybe she suffered from Phantom Zone sickness during her time there...?
Mr. Weisman,
Being a fan of such Daxamites like Lar Gand and Sodom Yat in the comincs, I had some questions about the planet and its people.
1) Do Daxamites of Universe-16 retain their species' signature weakness to lead?
2) Similarly, are they as isolationist and xenophobic as their Universe-0 counterparts?
3) What was Daxam's relationship with Krypton like prior to the latter's destruction?
4) Is Daxam a member of the United Planets in the 31st century?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to Lor-Zod's death (which was absolutely diabolically clever, if you ask me!), am I correct to assume that no one (except Metron) will ever know the truth of what happened to him; much like how none of the heroes will ever know the truth about what happened to the real Ocean-Master (who was killed by Lady Shiva)?
Can you please describe Kryptonian naming customs in Young Justice? For Ursa Zod and Lara El, they seem to have taken the House names of their respective husbands, but Kara Zor-El seems to have the last name of her father. So do Kryptonian women take the surname as their father's name but then take the House name as a surname once they marry? Am I on the right track here?
Why Greg you make choice Garfield would remain single as an adult and not date another woman after his breakup with Queen Perdita for the rest of his life just as the dc comic book verson of adult Garfield remain single for the rest of his life after Tara dies in the comic?
I have two question about the ending of Young Justice: Phantom's finale:
1) Are Robin and Spoiler now dating?
2) Are Halo and Harper Row now dating?
I have to ask about Nightwing surviving the season 4 finale of Young Justice , because frankly I just find it all so hard to believe?
It just felt so unrealistic; first by willingly cutting himself to fake his death injury (as if anyone wouldnât at least bleed after being thrown into a statue and then have the thing fall on top of you), and then slowing down his own heartbeat to a stop. No one can slow their heartbeat down to a full-stop, and itâs not as if someone with super-hearing couldnât tell whether someone was really dead.
I'm sorry, but even now I'm still expecting Nightwing to turn around and suddenly reveal that he's either a ghost, an imposter or some other big shocker.
I was surprised at the ending, too. When they introduced Darkseidâs new furies, I was expecting them to be the Legionaires, as I thought Brainiac was an imposter who was sent to get them. Personally, I thought they should be killed, as it makes the future more interesting when you donât know whatâs coming. Granted, we were told the future was only about 99.84% corrected, so we donât know whatâs changed, but we know it must be good because of Brainiacâs presenceâ¦etc.
Why did you Greg decide as part of the young justice phantoms Garfield and Perdita would not resume their relationship in episode 26 of young justice phantoms?
In episode 26 of young justice season 4 Why did Queen Perdita choose to move on from Garfield and not give Garfield a second chance with her because she was knew that Garfield was under the influence of drugs when he said those hurtful words to her that broke her heart in episode 13 of season 4 of young justice?
Mr. Weisman,
I have to be honest with you here; you gave me quite a scare in regards to Nightwing's head injury. The reason I say this is because I was afraid that Nightwing was going to end up becoming amnesiac and become Ric Grayson; which happened in the comics. Let me say now that I am one of (presumably) many people who hated the whole Ric Grayson storyline in the comics because he went through all kinds of hell before he finally got his memory back. When it was revealed that he faked his own head injury and still retained his memory in the Season 4 finale, I was relieved and happy that he was all right. As such, I wanted to thank you so much for NOT turning Dick Grayson into Ric Grayson.
Mr. Weisman,
Here is my second set of interview-style questions centering around Mary Bromfield after seeing the Season 4 post-credits scene. Just like with the previous set of questions for Kara Zor-El, please answer them as detailed as possible.
#1. Letâs start off with the opening question: What was the idea of having Mary Bromfield have a power addiction problem in Season 4? I clearly donât remember this ever happening in the comics; unless I overlooked some specific reading material?
#2. Anyone who has read âFinal Crisisâ would have likely/easily figured out Maryâs turn to villainy based on what happened in the post-credits scene in the mid-season 4 finale. Her costume while as a member of the Female Furies is based somewhat on her Black Mary appearance from the comics. What was the decision behind these changes; in comparison to what we know from the comics (in which her attire was more Apokoliptian and also having pink hair during the events of âFinal Crisisâ)?
#3. In a post-credits scene for one of the Season 4 episodes (âBeyond the Grip of the Gods!â), Mary was being considered as a potential candidate for the Justice League Reserves. However, the problem here is that none of the heroes at this point in time knows that she is now a villain. As such, do you believe that she might just play along and join the Justice League Reserves and then surprise everyone with a massive heart-breaking betrayal later, or do you believe that Mary will likely NOT be the type of person who would willingly play a game of deception and would instead prefer getting straight to the point and go full-on villain right from the start? Which scenario, in your honest opinion, seems more plausible?
#4. As we both know, Maryâs turn to villainy is essentially Zatannaâs fault. As such, in your honest opinion, what can we potentially expect from everyoneâs reactions once the truth eventually comes out; especially in regards to the lengths that Zatanna went through in order to get her father back (since, considering what Iâve read on the internet, this makes Zatanna more manipulative than Batman)? Furthermore, Maryâs turn to villainy will undoubtedly affect Billy Baston, who considers Mary to be one of his best friends and she is also his sister. As such, once Billy eventually learns the truth about Mary, how badly do you think this will damage their relationship; even if he somehow gets personally involved and manages to save her at some point in Season 5 (since Freddy Freeman DID save Mary during âFinal Crisisâ in the comics)?
#5. Going into Season 5, is it safe to correctly assume that part of Maryâs story arc may likely/potentially involve her attempting to get revenge on Zatanna for being excluded from the Doctor Fate rotation plan? Would Mary even potentially dare to go as far as willing to kill Zatanna; assuming her hatred towards her former mentor really goes deep? Or perhaps, would Mary even be willing to go as far as to potentially kill Zatannaâs father; just to get back at Zatanna for her âbetrayalâ towards her and to make Zatanna suffer both emotionally and psychologically?
#6. By making Kara and Mary become the members of the Female Furies, this is how I interpret the possible situation concerning both of them going into Season 5: Mary started off as a hero, but has now become a villain, and the possibility of her redemption will seem low (depending on her actions in Season 5). Kara starts off as a villain, but she will probably find redemption, and will ultimately become a hero. Is my interpretation of the situation concerning Kara and Mary correct? Did you set Up Kara and Mary in such a position so that these two will ultimately go down polar opposite paths over the course of Season 5?
Mr. Weisman,
In light of the post-credits scene in the Season 4 finale, I am giving you a set of interview-style questions centering around Kara Zor-El. Please answer them as detailed as possible.
#1. Letâs start off with the opening question: How does it feel to FINALLY be able to introduce Kara Zor-El into the Earth-16 universe?
#2. Youâve introduced Kara Zor-El in a unique twist; her being a member of the Female Furies alongside Mary Bromfield. Granted, anyone whoâve read the âSupergirlâ story arc from the âSuperman/Batmanâcomics (issues #8-13) or have watched the âSuperman/Batman: Apocalypseâ animated movie would obviously expect that this move was going to happen one way or another. Nevertheless, what ultimately made you decide that this would be the best way to introduce Kara Zor-El; as opposed to what weâve already seen at least twice in the comics (in which her pod arrives and crash-lands on Earth)?
#3. I going to make a MASSIVE assumption on my part here and will guess that Karaâs presence will have a MAJOR impact on her fellow surviving House of El members on Earth; this being Kal-El (her first cousin), Kon-El (her âhalf-cousinâ), and Jonny Kent (her first cousin once removed). What kind of interactions should we expect her to have with all three members of her family? And by interactions, I mean when she initially meets them (presumably while still a member of the Female Furies), AND later spending time with them to get to know them better (presumably after she switches sides and joins the heroes)?
#4. Aside from her family members, are there any specific interactions you are looking forward to see happen between Kara Zor-El and members of the Team and the Outsiders; considering these are people who would be around her age?
#5. In terms of the direction Karaâs potential story arc will likely go for Season 5; is it safe to correctly assume that Kara Zor-El is NOT meant to be a villain for the entirety of that season? Also, considering what we know from the âSupergirlâ story arc from the âSuperman/Batmanâ comics and the âSuperman/Batman: Apocalypseâ animated movie, can we expect that either Kal-El or Kon-El will likely have to risk their own lives in order to save Kara?
#6. A major concern I have going into Season 5 is that Kara would be the third person in the House of El who âbreaks badâ; this previously being Kal-El (during the end of Season 1; due to being brainwashed by Starro-tech) and Kon-El (during the second half of Season 4; due to Phantom Zone Sickness). At this point in time, given what Kon-El nearly did in the final two episodes of Season 4 (almost killing Kal-El before he changed his mind, and briefly fighting his friends before his mind was fixed), we still donât know if there will be any major consequences coming out from his actions; considering they were publicly broadcasted (and that begs the question as to whether there will be people who will be afraid of Superboy?). As such, how worried should we be that Kara Zor-El might end up publicly disgracing the name/reputation of the House of El due to her being a member of the Female Furies?
#7. There is also the matter of Karaâs Supergirl costume; as you are aware, there are many versions of them (like the one from the comics, the Smallville Season 11 costume, the two Arrowverse Supergirl costumes, the DCEU Supergirl costume, etc.). As such, do you already have a specific version in mind for when Kara finally becomes Supergirl in the Earth-16 universe, or are you still deciding at this point in time?
Hi Greg
Are Dick and Barbara are still dating in YJP?
Also I really liked the finale.
Mr. Greg why was the young justice comic targets made about Perdida being kidnap and Garfield being one of the heroes sent to rescue her if there was no intension of getting Garfield and peridia back together as couple at end of issue six of young justice comic targets ?
Mr. Wiesman,Â
I would like to first preface my question with saying that I truly admire both you and Brandon Vietti. What you and Brandon have created in Earth 16 has been truly fantastic and the first 2 seasons of Young Justice are the best two seasons of any DC show in my book. And as an aspiring writer, your work on both YJ and Spectacular Spider-Man have been very influential to me.
Now, my question has to do with the Nightwing arc of season 4. To me, this arc didn't feel very focused on Nightwing at all. I was hoping for something akin to the Artemis' arc, where we got to really get inside her character and her trauma. I personally couldn't find any attempt to get inside Dick's character with the last five episodes.Â
Now instead of throwing a bunch of criticisms or anything like that, I just want to ask what your intentions for him in that arc were? Is it just much more subtle and I wasn't able to pick it up or did you not attempt to do any character development with him in the arc?Â
I very much appreciate you taking the time to answer my question and I hope you have a good day! Hope to see the show renewed for season 5!
-Just adding one paragraph in response to the last Greg's post-
Hi Greg ! REALLY hope you'll see this post or somebody will bring it to your attention, because it wouldn't make much sense that you read it in one year. Maybe Marvelman (which discussed about it with me at the time) can signal it to you on twitter, since I don't have it. (Thank you if you do it).
First, I want to apologize about being so vindictive in my criticism, I reacted directly after seeing the episode, and I was really mad. Not mad at you, just sooo frustrated that Zatanna (one of my favs characters ever) got less screentime and focus than prayers and religious talking.
I guess I wasn't expecting that. Hard to believe, though, that Artemis got complains about her little screentime, since you developed her family story and character, with her sister, father, flash-backs and so on... Artemis'arc was really about Artemis, but I guess you'll always have complains anyway.
And to be very clear, even if I could, I will still not try to prevent you from saying this or talking about that or that. That's YOUR show, and I understand very well that a writer's first duty is to follow his own mind without listening to other people around him. Or else, you're doing marketing.
So, even if, say, you've chosen to talk about religion all season 5 long (providing there will be one), I'll be sad and mad and disappointed and so on, but I prefer this than deciding for you.
Just to be clear. I'll never tell you you've done wrong. You do what you wanna do, and I like it or not. Period.
As for using the ''Jehovah's Witnesses as some kind of ultimate example of cultish religious extremism '' I would answer you that when you refuse (and I have witnessed that) a blood transfusion for your kid when he/her is about to die, and in case the doctors still want to save him and do the transfusion you ABANDON your own child... I mean, just an example, all right, and I could find many more, What do you call extremism then ? But I didn't say they were the worst out there, that was just an example of atrocious religious brain-washing. And again, I don't target religious people, only religion. Religious people are mainly victims. Objectively, that's the number one source of atrocities in the world today.
If you wanna talk about faith, you can do that outside of religion. It's not only religious faith out there ! I'm an agnostic, and I have some kind of faith about the universe. Don't know how to describe it, but I'm feeling something. Everybody has faith, in his own way. Being agnostic or even atheist doesn't mean you don't think there's an afterlife or a higher power. There are other possibilities than the VERY silly ones proposed by religion. Because, yes, religion is silly. I'm not saying they're wrong, but they're silly. Because, if they're not silly, nothing is. The word ''silly'' exists to designate something. And what could be more silly than saying God has a kid, or judaism (you must be aware of that) spreads through the blood of the mother ?
In fact, when you say it would be difficult to include atheists in the show, I think nothing is more wrong than that. All an atheist must do to be right is to prove the religions are wrong. And you, have definitely proved religious claims to be wrong in earth16.
Huh ?
Yes, because let's take Vandal Savage, for instance. He's 50000 years old, and religions are saying the world is 6000 years old. So Vandal is a living proof that contradicts religions (the main ones at least). And it's not because the soul exists in your world that this proves religions to be right. Anyway, that would be too long to discuss, I've already made a more detailed post about it under my other name ''Paladin''.
Religions are inconsistent anyway, given that every religious textbook is contradicting itself at some point. Which religious people will never admit, but anyway...
An atheist is perfectly ready to accept anything that comes his way, as long as there is proof. He doesn't make unfounded claims like religious people do. So he can very well accept demons and new gods and stuff. And an agnostic is even more tolerant, because he's just saying he doesn't know. So that the humblest position you could have.
When you say this is a story about people and not superheros, well, it isn't. You choose to use DC characters and you have a responsibility with them. If you want to make a character LGBT or else, you can create your own and there will be no problem. But when you use characters that people loved for decades, you can't do whatever you want with them. If somebody was making Mickey Mouse gay or muslim, that would ruin my childhood and it's not because I hate gays or muslims.
As for Khalid, I don't think you can compare his presence to Zatara's because he's been introduced especially for this episode, and Zatara is a long time season 1 character. But anyway, not important.
I would have much more to say, and I'm sure you would too, but I guess this is already taking too long.
SO, at last, I'm sorry if I sounded obnoxious or anything else, I didn't mean to, I acted on impulse because I DO LOVE that show so much, and I thank you and Brandon for bringing those wonderful stories to us. Hope you'll do great, and good luck for everything !
Sorry to re-post this, it feels like I'm spamming the queue, but this is not intended to be answered in one year so moderators can delete that post and the old one when you come to it.
What was Garfield doing during the time of ending credits scene of episode 26 of young justice phantoms?
Hello Greg! Much love from Turkey and thank you all for another wonderful season!
Im quite happy that Black Canary mentioned 'Sacntuary' cause i loved the story around Beast Boy this season and would like to see more. Maybe Jason could end up there? I remember he and Damian were teased but i cant remember if it lead to anything so far.
Given the record track of you guys recreating 'weaker' comic stories gives me even more hope for Heroes in Crisis with the Sanctuary.
Hi Greg, I was just wondering how old is Kara Zor-El by 2020? why did Conner get a buzz cut, by the end of Season 4? Do the workers of the Erdel Initiative know that Emâree (now Mâree) is a Martian, or does she shift into a more human form? And do Jim and Mal share the mantle of Guardian? The finale was great, and I hope we get a Season 5
Hi,
just was wondering, what is Dinah's relationship with Ollie after their seeming falling out in season 3. They were eyeing each other in the season 3 finale from what I could see and about the same in season 4 finale, with Ollie seeming more annoyed this time, but that's about it. What about Kaldur who blindsided her even more by pretending to be its victim?
Is E-16 Guardian II Jim Harper, or Guardian III Mal Duncan?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. How old is super girl and do she and Mary get along vary well? 2.How old is Brainiac 13 and how long did it take him to find his misplaced friends ? 3. Is Stargirl's identity public knowledge?
"So straight up...if I should stop tolerating or showing viewpoints that are not my own (spoken as someone who is absolutely straight), then should I now stop showing religion as well? Because that's what this comes down to. Is that what you want? Because religion is included at my discretion as well as anything else on this show. You want me to be less tolerant? Just say the word." Can't speak for other religions but yes exclude islam. By the way the finale was amazing!

1. As of Season 4 Episode 26 how old biologically is Kara Zor El?
1. In "Death and Rebirth," was Karen Beecher one of M'gann's bridesmaids?
2. In "Death and Rebirth," during the lead up to the wedding, the Justice League Computer speaks in the background whenever guests arrived. Are the following correct and spoken by the computer?
A-55 J'ann M'orzz
A-56 M'att M'orzz
E-18 Dubbilex
E-19 Kraig
E-16 Guardian
A-28 Lian Nguyen-Harper
C-03 Brucely
B-25 Arsenal
D-16 Looker
D-14 Livewire
B-37 Mist
B-36 Orphan
B-16 Oracle
B-28 Spoiler
D-12 Robin
E-03 Tempest
E-15 Wyynde
45 Aquaman
3. Are the E-series the Justice League Reserves?
Well, of all the exciting things in today's finale, we finally got confirmation that Orphan is B-36 (according to your subtitles), implying that Ed and Vic did indeed get B-designations before the Outsiders switched over to the D-designations in February 2019. Since B-34 and B-35 would presumably be defunct now, I was wondering if you'd be willing to confirm my suspicions, as you've previously been okay with confirming defunct designations.
Regardless, terrific season and I'm hoping for more! You, Brandon, and all the other wonderful people involved really brought your A-game and I can't thank you enough for these twenty-six episodes. I look forward to TARGETS. I hope you have a nice day!
What are your favorite and least favorite episodes of each season of Young Justice, and how would you change the latter?
Does Nightwing still operate/live in the old team's hideout in Bludaven from S2.
How did nightwing and his teammates have a mine link to talk with each other in their mines without miss martian in the phantom zone in young justice phantoms episode 25?
Why did you Greg and your staff have Garfield breakup with Perdita over Garfield's depression over Garfield believing conner was death only to have Garfield latter learn conner is a live and have Garfield attend conner's wedding to m'gann and not have Garfield get back together with Perdita sometime after conner and m'gann's wedding?
this a repost of my original rant with evidences
This is a response to episode 23 of phantoms: There are no boyfriends and girlfriend in Islam. People literally have been punished for their deviance of pre martial relationship and sometimes even executed based on the magnitude of the crime. So when you showcase their "relationship" you're mocking our belief. Ironic isn't when you talk about respecting beliefs. There are no muslim theys or whatever goofy nonsense liberals like to come up with.
"And by Him Who created male and female;" Quran 92:3. This verse refutes theys, xi and whatever goofy nonsense liberals come up with. Originally I was going to bat an eye to this issue but you guys just wanted to milk this lgbtq non binary woke nonsense and had to go involve islam with that which in return made me get involved in this response. Again nobody asked for "Muslim representations" but you just had to meddle with forces beyond your grips of understanding. If it does get renewed for a 5th season I probably won't watch it if you involve Islam. Again nobody asked you to represent Muslims but sir you just had to go there. This is what Hollywood doesn't understand. Just basic things. I guessing your "Muslim" writers and actor don't understand basic rulings of Islam otherwise they wouldn't be in this industry
In islam there are no lgbtqrswyxz. this is stepping towards kufr. The prophet said to kill the man who imitates women and vice versa. We can't even support them. These are the daleels (evidence) from the quran and sunnnah that refutes lgbtq.

Surah Al A'raf 7:80-84
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.
â" Sunan Abu Dawood, 38:4447, Al-Tirmidhi, 15:1456, Ibn Maajah, 20:2561
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy he will be stoned to death.
â" Sunan Abu Dawood, 38:4448
Imam Ahmed
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas said: "The Prophet said: "... cursed is the one who does the action of the people of Lot."
â" Musnad Ahmad:1878
Ahmad narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet of Allah said: "May Allah curse the one who does the action of the people of Lot, may Allah curse the one who does the action of the people of Lot," three times.
â" Musnad Ahmad: 2915
It was narrated that Jabir: "The Prophet said: 'There is nothing I fear for my followers more than the deed of the people of Lot.'"
â" Al-Tirmidhi: 1457, Ibn Maajah: 2563
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet cursed effeminate men; those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, "Turn them out of your houses." The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and 'Umar turned out such-and-such woman.
â" Sahih al-Bukhari, 7:72:774
Homosexuality and transgendering in Islam
Know the seriously dangerous health diseases
Whether it is among men or women, is one of the most abhorrent of immoral and evil actions that a person may commit, and is one of the most shameful deeds in this world and in the hereafter.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed effeminate men and masculinised women and said: âExpel them from your houses.â
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5436
That is, men who imitate women in appearance, clothing, using henna, voice, speech and all their movements. Such actions are prohibited because it comes under the heading of changing the creation of Allah.
This is something changing the very nature of men and women whom Allaah created with perfection
In fact, even if this sinner was not your brother or you did not have any authority over him, your duty would still be to strive by all possible means to remove this evil that you see and prevent him from doing it, and to advise him for the sake of Allah and warn him of Allahâs punishment.
Abu Saâeed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: âWhoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart â" and that is the weakest of faith.â
Saheeh Muslim 70
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
âSo when Our Commandment came, We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down, and rained on them stones of baked clay, in a well-arranged manner one after another; Marked from your Lordâ [Hood 11:82-83].
Dr Mahmoud al-Hijaazi said in his book al-Amraad al-Jinsiyyah waâl-Tanaasuliyyah (Sexual and genital diseases), when discussing some of the dangers to health caused by committing sodomy:
narrated from Khaalid ibn al-Waleed that he found a man among one of the Arab tribes with whom men would have intercourse as with a woman.
He wrote to Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) and Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq consulted the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them).
âAli ibn Abi Taalib had the strongest opinion of all of them, and he said: âNo one did that but one of the nations, and you know what Allaah did to them. I think that he should be burned with fire.â So Abu Bakr wrote to Khaalid and he had him burned.
Abd-Allaah ibn âAbbaas said: The highest point in the town should be found and the homosexual should be thrown head first from it, then stones should be thrown at him.
Ibn âAbbaas is the one who narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) the words:
âWhoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.â This was narrated by the authors of al-Sunan and was classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan and others. Imam Ahmad quoted this hadeeth as evidence, and its isnaad meets the conditions of al-Bukhaari.
They said: and it is narrated that he said: âMay Allaah curse the one who does the action of the people of Loot, may Allaah curse the one who does the action of the people of Loot, may Allaah curse the one who does the action of the people of Loot,â and it is not narrated that he cursed the adulterer three times in one hadeeth.
He cursed those who do a variety of major sins, but he did not curse any of them more than once, but he repeated the curse for the homosexual three times.
The companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) agreed unanimously that the homosexual is to be executed, and none of them differed concerning that
Who is Darkseidâs first born son?

In Phantoms why is Dick's eye gray instead of blue? Is this an error or a retcon?
Hi Mr. Greg, two questions Iâve wanted to ask since season 4 started:
1) What made you and your team decide to do mini season spanning story arcs for characters like Beast Boy, Halo, and Superman (to a lesser extent)? I loved the individual core Team character arcs but these other arcs felt just as exciting to watch each week.
2) Iâm sure youâve been asked this before but how easy is it to write for these characters? All of them feel fleshed out and heroes and villains alike feel relatable in their own ways. Iâm going to guess itâs easy because every episode I watch is so good and seems like you and the team are having lots of fun telling these stories.
Also thanks for making an all inclusive show, that tells fun and nuanced stories that just happens to have superheroes in it. Hope you all have many more seasons.
Mr. Weisman,
Besides Kara Zor-El and Mary Bromfield, were there any other female hero characters that were you were considering turning into the members of the Female Furies? Maybe perhaps Starfire, or even Artemis of Bana-Mighdall?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of Donna Troy wear her black and silver costume from the comics?
We know that a long time ago, for the comics, you had planned to do a story focusing on the Shazam family of characters. If given the option to would you still make it, or do you think you're past it now? Overall would you want to go back to tell stories from earlier in the timeline or are you only focused on future stories?
Young Justice Season 4 Finale Questions
1. To confirm are Violet and Harper a couple?
2. Have Robin and Spoiler begun dating?
3. Why are some wedding guests not wearing formal clothing like Violet, Harper, Lian, Amistad, Tara etc?
4. Have Livewire and Mist started dating?
Not so much of a question but Iâve read your posts about how you wish you could service atheism and agnostism on Young Justice but you find it implausible and as such hard to do so. As an atheist I thought Iâd weigh in on the topic,
In both posts Iâve seen you discuss this Iâve seen you refer to the soul of a being being tangibly real in Earth-16 and that is undoubtedly the case however I do not see that the existence of a soul has anything to do with atheism or agnostism which are to do with the belief in deities.
I think many facets of Earth-16 could strengthen belief in various religions. The existence of demons is one such factor. Other factors could weaken belief in various religions. The existence of New Gods shows that claims of godhood are not exactly full proof and that any god could be a powerful alien or an immortal metahuman and his children all of which is explainable through science much like magic was for Wally in season 1.
Until their is definitive, undeniable proof of an all powerful creator on Earth-16 I think there is ample room for atheism and agnostism within the setting as much as their is for religion in the setting.
Just my two centres on the topic of course.
Religion has always been a fascinating topic for me so while I am an atheist thank for for portraying it interestingly and realistically within the show.
Good Evening Mrs. Weisman!
I have a question about brain blasts. When the Martians attacked the Gar he was not in a catatonic state, but in invasion when M'gann did so, his victims were left with their minds shattered, so to speak. What is the difference between M'gann's Brian Blast and the other Martians' Brain Blasts?
Thanks fou yor time!
Brazil says hi!!!
What is bart's relationship (professional or personal) like with Barry Allen/the flash?
In "Bloodlines" bart showed a hero worship for him.
Bart's been shown at the house with iris when Barry wasnt there.
And in "Elder Wisdom" Jay was the one to show up as the adult in bart life. There didn't seem to be as much personal or professional interaction between Barry and Bart to give a picture
Why was Lagoon Boy invited to Superboy and Miss Martian's wedding?!?! I find it hard to believe he would attend given his history with the bride and groom! Love triangle anybody!!!
1. Did Wolf go to live at the Kent farm after Superboy died and if so why? I find it hard to believe he wouldn't stay with his family of Miss Martian, Sphere and Baby. Not to mention wouldn't he be a support for Miss Martian?
2. How often did Miss Martian go to visit Superboy's memorial on the watchtower?
3. Now that Conner is back, is Wolf returning to live with him and M'gann or is he staying at the Kent farm permanently?
4. Why didn't you give us a scene of Miss Martian visiting Superboy's memorial like Artemis, Kaldur and Dick?!?
1. Did M'gann throw Conner the biggest welcome home party ever? Since she loves to throw him birthday parties every year than I wouldn't be surprised if she threw him a GIANT welcome home party?
2. When did Miss Martian seek the Kents blessings to marry Superboy? Year and Month?
1. How long have Jason and Artemis been dating by the time of Artemis's arc?
2. Why wasn't Jason at M'gann and Conner's wedding or is he not aware of Artemis superhero life?
3. How long did Jason and Barbara date before they broke up?
4. Did Dick and Barbara have an on-again/off-again relationship?
While I suspect the answer to these questions may all be the same year, I'll ask them all just in case:
1) When did Danny Chase run away from home?
2) When was he abducted?
3) When was he made into the Kaizer-Thrall?
Thank you!
Hi Greg,
What year did Timat come to Earth, and what year did Marduk defeat her (if not the same year)?
If you can't reveal the exact year, can you say which came first, Tiamat or Starro?
Thanks!
Why did beast boy choose to get a dog in young justice season 4?
Hi Greg ! REALLY hope you'll see this post or somebody will bring it to your attention, because it wouldn't make much sense that you read it in one year. Maybe Marvelman (which discussed about it with me at the time) can signal it to you on twitter, since I don't have it. (Thank you if you do it).

PS : sorry if there are unreadable characters, I've noticed that before in my text, but can't quite correct it. Hope this will still be readable.
Some questions about the Superman corner of earth-16
1.- Does the âSâ symbol of the house of El mean âHopeâ on Earth 16
1.b What does the âZâ of the house of Zod stand for on earth 16?
2.-Given Kara was in the phantom zone, is it safe to assume Was Kandor destroyed along Krypton?
3.-Did Kara-Zor El also have the mission to take care or the infant Kal-el like in other versions?
4.- Did Kara Zoe-El serve the house or Zod while in the phantom zone?
5.-Has Superman ever served as leader of the Justice League?
Hey Greg just some questions about the power of Shazam,
1.- You said Mary Doesnât âoweâ Freddy anything, but you didnât mention Billy. does that Mean she was granted her portion of the power from Freddy and not Billy? Or was that an oversight?
https://s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=26032
2.-What happens to the power when a user of the power of SHAZAM dies? Is it gone for good? Does it go to a previous user?
3.- You said the power was âimpossible to returnâ. As in Mary couldnât give it away even if she wanted?
4.- If any of them transforms gets too much damage while transformed to they return to their human/ mortal forms?
5.- Does anytime they transform to their powered selves their powered bodies âresetâ in their prime?
Say, hypothetically, Billy was hurt as captain marvel with a broken arm, then transformed back into Billy, then back to Captain Marvel. Would Captain Marvel still have his injuries?
Regarding your conundrum regarding how to tackle atheism on Young Justice, just speaking for myself as someone who has been an athiest for most of my life I've always believed that if the Gods of any form of faith were proven without a shadow of a doubt to be real I would still choose to not become a follower of them. I acknowledge their existence obviously, as well as the existence of concepts like souls, angels, demons, ghosts, heaven, hell, and so on, but just because they are real that does not mean that I now have to convert into one of that religion's followers, just like how nobody who practises a separate religion from the ones that God belong too would be obligated to convert.
I guess think of it kinda like when a controversial scientific theory is proven to be true; there will undoubtedly be some who are blinded by stubbornness and will insist that it can be explained some other way or in extreme cases outright deny their existence, but the vast majority would accept it as fact and adjust their world-view accordingly.
Why did Gaffield attend m'gann and conners wedding in last episode of young justice season 4 when it remains Garfield, he will never get to married Perdita?
Is Kru-El, the Phantom Zone prisoner a member of the House of El like in the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of the REAL Batman Incorporated (and its members) from the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 version of Ghost-Maker (Minhkhoa "Khoa" Khan)?
In s4 ep22, "Rescue and Search", Dick checks out Bart's credit card statements, and we see that Bart has a platinum credit card. Why and how does he have a credit card, never mind a PLATINUM one?
1. How did Lor Zod and the Legion find out Superboy and Miss Martian were traveling to Mars for their wedding?
2. Did any of Miss Martian's other siblings make amends with her or offer their condolences when Superboy died or did they just avoid their sister altogether?
3. Does Mars now see Superboy as their greatest hero since he saved the martian race or do they see him as an equal to Martian Manhunter?
1. Was Artemis originally set to serve as M'gann's maid of honor and if so how did she feel being replaced by Em'ree?
2. Does Artemis feel envious, happy or both for Conner and M'gann. They got what she never had, being reunited with her lost love. Does Artemis feel a little envious that M'gann and Conner were reunited with each other after everyone assumed he was dead or is just greatly relieved and happy for the couple. I don't mean to paint her in a bad light or anything, but I find it hard to believe she wouldn't have some feelings on the matter?
3. Did you ever consider letting Artemis find out what Zee and M'gann did to her by pretending to summon Wally's ghost at the end of season 3 in season 4? I'm surprised I was really expecting she was going to find out since Miss Martian losing Superboy reminded her of when she lost Kid Flash and I was hoping that M'gann would feel guilty and confess what she did.
1. What year did La'gaan, Coral and Rodunn begin a relationship together?
2. Why was Orion invited to Superboy and Miss Martian's wedding? No offense, but he doesn't really know the bride or groom.
3. How long did Dick and Zatanna date. We know they got together in the beginning of 2011, but how long were they together? A year? A few months?
4. Why didn't you show Sphere's grief over Sueprboy's death? She's still a living being who lost her owner like Wolf so why not?
5. How much did M'gann and Em'ree's relationship improve in the 6 months when Superboy died?
1. Why didn't the rest of the New Gods aka Forever People like Vykin, Moonrider and Serifan appear at Conner and M'gann's wedding?
2. Will Conner and M'gann make a second attempt at getting married on Mars now that he's back or are they just happy with their ceremony on Earth?
3. How did Brion Markov feel about Superboy's death since he was like a mentor to him?
4. What is King Gregor Markov doing right now to get back to Markov and reclaim his throne?
Why didn't Garfield Logan delete the pictures of Queen Perdita on Garfield's phone by the time events of issue 1 of young justice comics targets?
Is Garfield Logan in human form or dog form when walking his dog wingman?
Hello, Mr. Weisman,
We know that youâre a huge fan of DC and Marvel content, so what other types of media do you like/are currently into (e.g. TV shows, films, video games?).
What are the chances of us ever getting a Gargoyles motion comic like the ones made from the YJ comics?
Hi Greg.
1. When did Artemis Crock and Jason Bard started dating?
2. Are Artemis and Jason still dating by the end of Season 4? Please, I beg you, don't ruin another boyfriend for Artemis. She deserves happiness and I think Jason is really nice, funny and sweet. They make a very good couple! And Jeff is excellent as Jason's voice, I love him.
3. Is it true that by the end of Season 4 Jason doesn't know about Artemis's double life as a hero?
4. If Jason still doesn't know about Artemis's Tigress alias and the hero stuff, what's the reason for Artemis not to tell him? They haven't been dating long enough for him to know? Does Artemis think she's protecting him by not telling?
5. Is Holly (Jason's dog) a Boxer? At least she reminds me of a Boxer. But if she is of no specific breed that's nice because dogs of no specific breed deserve love too.
Thanks Greg for taking the time to reply to these and thank you for giving Artemis a nice boyfriend like Jason. When I saw Artemis was dating someone in Season 4 I got really scared. I misjudged Jason (not knowing who he was) and the moment I saw him I thought he could be an a$$hole and I don't want that for Artemis. I also love he has Holly and his a dog lover. It's so cute that now Brucely has a potential girlfriend? Besides, couples with pets are very cute.
Honestly, I've been missing Stephanie Lemelin and Jason Spisak hyping Wally and Artemis's romance :'( But seeing Artemis and Jason on the show makes me happy and I hope if there's more Young Justice in the future I get to see more of them together and happy.
Have a good day and hope you're doing well :)
Why when someone asked you the ages of characters in Spectacular Spiderman you answer the exact or aprox. age/number but when you get asked the same thing for Young Justice or Gargoyles you answer the year they're born?? It's confusing not getting the exact number/age xS
Hey Greg
Have you read a classic DC comics called "Kingdom Come" by Alex Ross and Mark Waid?
Hi Greg, how old is Orion and what is his biological equivalent age? Can I also ask how old are Klarion, Grayven, Granny and Forager (current age, I know he was 14 in season 3)? And how is courtship in New Genesis? (I don't know if I wrote it right, English is not my first language) Have a nice day
Hi, Greg, got some questions for you:
1.) With so many of the Gargoylesâ voice actors always working with you in other works, like Young Justice, do you guys ever get together on a regular basis and reminisce about the good olâ Gargoyles days? Iâve been listening the Voices From The Eyrie podcast and it really warms my heart to see the voice actors come back as guests to discuss the episodes. I certainly hope we can have them back if Gargoyles gets revived.
2.) We know that spoilers are off limits to the fans, but have you ever shared any secrets about your plans for Gargoyles with the voice actors?
3.) Gargoyles are GENERALLY monogamous, you once said. Does that mean we might see gargoyles practice polygamy someday? If so, is this largely influenced by cultures who normally practice it where the gargoyle clans are located or is this something that evolved over time by adapting more progressive views?
4.) Switching gears to Young Justice. I love Kaldurâs arc! His relationship with Wyynde is so beautiful, and I love that Laâgaan has found two great loves and has started a family with them! Iâm curious to know if Kaldur and Wyynde would also be open to adding Dolphin to their relationship, since thereâs a lot of chemistry between the three of them during the arc?
1) Why did Danny Chase run away from Home?
2) Is it possible for Doctor Fate to restore Danny Chase to his original form using his powerful Magic?
3) Will Danny Chase get used to being the Kaizer-Thrall?
4) Is Danny Chase going to join the Team or the Outsiders?
Provided that Gargoyles ever gets revived, will ever see the Manhattan Clan celebrate Christmas?
Greg, was it decide by you and the people who work with you to make the story of young justice that Garfield would not get back together with Perdita in a dating relationship at the end of issue 6 of young justice comic Targets after the breakup in young justice phantoms?
Since Violet is now attending Ivy University, does that mean they've moved out of the Premiere Building? Or are they living in both, since Connor and Megan seemed to still be living at Mount Justice when they went there.
Which is the most shocking storyline?
The Mole
The Deep Cover Mission
Meta-Human Trafficking
Superboy's "death" and the House of Zod
Did John attend Jefferson and Lynn's wedding or was he busy with League business?
Hi Greg, big fan of Young Justice, Iâve come to ask you a question revolving around one of my favorite characters from DC, Jason Todd, if you donât mind me asking did Jason die of the same causes that he did within the comics, or was it due to another factor, also will we get to more stories that include Jason Todd in a larger role considering it was seemingly teased within the third season, thanks!
Why was Danny Chase chosen to possess multidimensional abilities as the Kaizer-Thrall, given that he doesn't usually have a connection to that powerset in the comics?
Hi, Mr. Weisman,
Years ago, at the CONvergence 2014, you mentioned that gargoyles' mating rituals involve "lots of flying" and feats of strength. I wanted to ask if it's possible to go more into details about how it works. FOR SCIENCE.
1.) Would you say that their mating ritual has some resemblance to that of birds' courtship/mating rituals? I've read some studies how different types of species of birds often use types of dance, flying displays, and etc. in courtship and mating dances. For gargoyles, are the feats of strength something the male primarily does in the ritual, similar to how male birds would do a dance to attract females? Or is something both males and females do? Do gargoyles do an elaborate air dance as part of the "lots of flying" bit, and do variations of said dance exist due to different cultures?
2.) For gargoyles that have less humanoid anatomy, such as Zafiro with him resembling more a serpent, would their mating be resemblance of how snakes mate?
3.) You mentioned a long time ago in another ask that gargoyles also "imprint" on each other, such as how Iago imprinted on Desdemona, and Desdemona and Othello imprinted on each other. If two gargoyles (whether it's male or female) ever try to court the same potential mate, and said potential mate is undecided about who to choose, has there ever been cases where they ever try to settle the matter in a duel, or is fighting over a mate is strictly forbidden by the clan (to prevent hostile infighting and death due to the high death rate in gargoyles society if it ever gets too out of hand) and enforced a strict policy that the matter must be settled peacefully (e.g. it must be the female's choice)?
4.) An old ask also mentioned what would happen if an affair is discovered among the clan, what would the consequences be, but was never fully addressed. In that ask, you mentioned that due to customs that cheating/divorce is highly discouraged, but emphasized that affairs DO happen, if even if they are rare. But the consequences wasn't addressed in the ask. So, in the cases that affairs do happen, are the gargoyles participating the affair are banished from the clan or are types of punishment are dealt upon them?
Which Justice League has the biggest penis? I gotta know, bestie!!!!
Why did you tease Jason Todd and whatever was going on with Talia in Arc 2 if that wasn't going to pay off this season? Are you were that arrogant that you keep setting up stuff for future seasons that are likely to NEVER happen? Don't you know the business you work in? How many animated series get to have more than 100 episodes?
Why wasn't Em'ree included more in the second half of Season 4 of Young Justice? I was really hoping to see her and M'gann rebuilding their sisterly relationship. Did you have any more stories in mind for her or could you not find the right moment to include her?
What is Em'ree's relationship like with the rest of her and M'gann's green martian siblings?
*Is she close to any of them?
*Has she tried to convince them to be there for M'gann?
*Is Em'ree in contact with any of them after she left Mars?
Hi Greg, how old is Orion and what is his human equivalent age? Have a nice day
Since the House of Zod had it's own secret maxim did the House of El have one and if so what did it say and do Clark and Conner know it?
Hi, Greg! Big fan of âGargoylesâ here, and have for the last two decades! Still keeping my fingers crossed we can a comeback on the show someday soon.
The show established that a lot of the mythical creatures we see in the show are part of Oberonâs Children, such as Puck, Banshee, the Weird Sisters, Raven, etc. and etc., and Iâve been waiting all these years to visit feudal Japan during Brooklynâs (my fave) TimeDancer adventures. When I heard that we will meet the Ishimura Clan of the time period, and where Brooklyn will meet his mate Katana (who I desperately want to meet properly), it made me think of âInuyashaâ, which is set in feudal Japan, where demons and spirits (yÅkai and yÅ«rei and yÅsei) exist. Gargoyles being the inspiration for tengu, a type of yÅkai in Japanese folklore, has already been established in the show. This might be something you canât answer because it might be too spoilery, but hereâs my question:
During Brooklynâs TimeDancer adventures, will Brooklyn encounter any of Oberonâs Children? And, if so, will meet any in feudal Japan?
As an Asian fan growing up on your show, one of my favorite things was seeing how myths and legends and folklore was weaved into your show. Growing up on anime also made a huge fan of Japanese folklore. I canât begin to express how happy it made me, years ago, that my favorite character Brooklyn will finally find love in a Japanese gargoyle, who (judging from your hints in the past) will be strong, witty, courageous, and a perfect match for him in every way. Iâm wishing you all the best, and Iâm rooting for âGargoylesâ to return someday soon and for the fifth season of âYoung Justiceâ to be renewed! :)
Did Jâann Mâorzz and Mâatt Mâorzz receive A-designations (A-53 and A-54 perhaps?) for their Earth presence in âDeath and Rebirthâ? I know you donât love revealing designations here, but you once did just that for the A-designation status of Blue Devil, Bâarzz, and the Runaways due to their involvement in âEndgameâ, so I figured Iâd shoot my shot.
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the name of the Earth-16 version of the Phantom Stranger, is he currently using the name of Philip Stark; which originally belonged to a man who became one of his enemies going by the name of Sin Eater?
Hi, Mr. Weisman, long time of your works, especially "Gargoyles", ever since I was a child. I've been following the Voices of the Eyrie podcast since the first episode dropped, and I love hearing the behind-the-scenes stories of the episodes with you and the other voice actors. :D
"Gargoyles" huge comeback in recent years thanks to being added to Disney+ and with the recent action figures line being produced. #KeepBingingGarhoyles also helps with supporting the series. All these achievements are incredible, but still no word from Disney to continue the series. As time goes by, and none of us are getting any younger and the old cast and crew reaching into their golden years, I became more and more worried that "Gargoyles" will see a proper continuation. So, my question is this:
With all of the achievements "Gargoyles" has gotten and its passionate fanbase clamoring for its return, is there a spark of hope that we may see "Gargoyles" return in the near future?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Are the names of Billy Baston's parents Clarence Charles "C.C." Batson (father) and Marilyn Baston (mother)?
#2. What are the names of Mary Bromfield's parents?
#3. What are the names of Freddy Freeman's parents?
Mr. Weisman,
You have previously mentioned that...
#1. As Shazam, Billy Baston's adult form is a 24-year-old (whereas Billy's normal form is currently 20 years old).
#2. As Sergeant Marvel, Mary Bromfield's adult form is an 18 year-old (even though Mary is 20 years old in her normal form).
But how does that even make sense for both of these characters? I mean, were your previous response for both characters' alter-ego ages actually half-hearted answers? The reason I am asking this is because I was under the distinct impression that both characters' adult forms would be at least 33 years old; which would be the age equivalent of an average graduate student. If this is not correct, than what are the CORRECT ages for both characters' alter-egos; assuming the age range is between the 30s to 40s?
What revelation is more Earth-Shattering?
Cheshire revealing Orphan's mom is Lady Shiva
Orphan being responsible for Batgirl's "injury"
What is the correct name?
Mars
M'arzz
Hi Greg!
I was wonder if I could ask about the decision to give Dr. Fate 3 hosts rather than just giving the mantle to only Khalid Nassour? Khalid is quite literally the only prominent brown character DC uses in their comics at the moment, and to have his role & importance be diminished is rather disheartening; especially as a brown individual myself. I hope this comes across more as of a question rather than an attack, as I honestly can't thank you enough for even just putting Khalid in your show. I just genuinely want to know why Khalid wasn't given the role of Dr. Fate to have as his own completely.
1) Is Superman originally thinking Captain Marvel was Kryptonian a reference to the copyright issues from the 1940s where it was believed he was too similar to Superman?
2) Is Zatarra being inspired by Superman a reference to the fact they both premiered in Action Comics #1 together?
Maybe I'm looking too deep into it. You tell me.
2. Which of the Tornado twins was born first?
You recently mentioned that the font for the timestamps had to be changed for Outsiders and Phantoms (from what it had been for season 1 and Invasion) for legal reasons.
Was there likewise a legal reason for the decision to no longer use the end credits theme from season 1 and Invasion? I loved that end credits theme and was sorry that it wasn't used again when the show was brought back for seasons 3 and 4. That said, I have enjoyed the end credits sequences in Outsiders and Phantoms.
Are there any kryptonian criminals in the phantom zone besides those loyal to general zod?
1 Does darkseid often let his son grayven interpet his thoughts to those who are not part of his inner circle like he did with mâcomm?
2 Is grayvenâs official role being darkseidâs interpreter or does darkseid let other members of his inner circle interpet for him as well?
Mr. Weisman,
One common factor in nearly every version of the DC Universe is that the circumstances of Jason Todd's death usually somehow involves the Joker, and Jason becoming the unfortunate victim of one of the villain's traps that ultimately leads to his tragic death. That being said, is that also true within the Earth-16 universe as well; even though we may never potentially learn about the full circumstances of Jason's death?
How many planets are controlled by Darkseid's Empire?
How many planets are controlled by New Genesis?
How Many Kryptonians were in the Phantom Zone?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the newspaper article that Dru-Zod saw in the Fortress of Solitude, when was the exact date that that article was published?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. How many years has Dru-Zod held the rank of General prior to being sent to the Phantom Zone?
#2. What is the name of the capital city of Krypton?
#3. Which Kryptonian criminals from the Phantom Zone were originally from the city of Kandor?
#4. Which Kryptonian criminals from the Phantom Zone were originally from the city of Argo?
#5. How long were Dru-Zod and Ursa-Zod life-mates prior to being sent into the Phantom Zone?
1) How old were Orin and Orm when they first met?
2) Was their mother Queen Atlanna
3) Watching Downtime he seems to have been a respected person in Atlantian society why didn't he push for his claim to the throne instead of becoming Ocean Master
4) Is Queen Atlanna alive or dead
5) What were her intentions when she brought Orin to Atlantis
Mr. Weisman,
Exactly what year was Krypton destroyed in the Earth-16 universe? In "Over and Out," Lor-Zod claimed to his parents that Krypton was destroyed EXACTLY 40 years ago; thus placing this event in the year 1980. However, Superboy and Aqualad previously confirmed to General Zod that Krypton's destruction happened OVER 40 years ago; meaning this event happened PRIOR to 1980. If Lor-Zod's statement was true, this creates contradictions to Superman's origin story in Earth-16; since he was born in 1977 and arrived on Earth in 1978. Please clarify on these conflicting facts regarding Krypton's destruction.
Mr. Weisman,
If the secret maxim of the House of Zod is "From the will, comes strength. From strength, comes the will," then what is the secret maxim of the House of El?
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 version of Jason Todd eventually becomes the Red Hood, will his costume be like the first or second one provided in the links below, or perhaps an amalgamation of both?

Mr. Weisman,
What are the ages of each prisoner in the Phantom Zone who have been identified by name in Season 4 of Young Justice?
1. Are Mary and Rudy West ever showing up on the show again?
2. Does Artemis have any relationship with Wally's parents? Are they close?
3. Is there communication between Artemis and Wally's parents?
4. I'm guessing no. But does Jason Bard know Artemis is a vigilante? He isn't present at the Supermartian wedding so I'm guessing he doesn't know.
5. Was Rita Farr LGBTQ?
Hello Greg.
I'm reading what you've been answering and when you say the majority of the fans are happy with how you've been handling the show (Young Justice) for the past two seasons (and that's why you're not making any major changes in writing) I find it quite hard to believe, being honest. Not because I believe you do not get praise for the show, but because when I look for people's opinion on the last two seasons and if they want the show to be renewed for a fifth I mostly find fans complaining, disheartened and disappointed. Just now I read someone on tumblr saying that after 2 seasons they've come to terms with the thought that it would have been better if the show didn't come back.
And I don't want to agree with that statement but right now I can't not agree completely either...
The pandemic must have made things difficult for all of you, but I think the time it took the show to come back from Invasion to Outsiders was a problem. The writing and storytelling hasn't been as great. Seasons 1 and 2 are excellent, Outsiders imo was bad for the most part. You keep incorporating new characters when there's still plenty between the original and season 2 characters. The storyline/plot of season 3 was all over the place according to most people I've encountered and I can't say it was too compelling. And I know my vague comments might mean nothing to you, I just feel bad for all the pessimism I see. Which is getting to me.
Season 1 was excellent in terms of character arcs, plot in general, twists and turns, surprises, revelations, climax, cliffhanger, everything. Season 2 was different but it was still really good. Seasons 3 in comparison was disappointing. And while season 4 is slightly better than 3, I might see why people are not happy with how the show is going on.
I know this is a silly question to ask, but why hasn't the writing been as good as season 1 lately?
My impression is that if people want more episodes, it isn't because they want more of what you're doing now. If people want more episodes and still hope there's a season 5, they want the show to go back to it's glory days when the plot was focused and the characters (the OG Team, mainly Dick, Kaldur, Artemis, M'gaan and Conner) were united. Fans keep giving you opportunity and chances but from what I see they are disappointed because what you are doing isn't enough.
Some might be fully content, that's why you keep going like you do. But the others (fans who have been with the show since season 1) are left hoping and waiting.
I don't know what I'm doing writing this.... I guess I'm just sad and I feel you should hear not just the good but the bad as well.
I guess it's all useless since you are happy with what you're doing. And that's what matters ultimately.
The show has become frustrating I guess.
Whatâs the real name of the Emerald Empress from the 31st century that Lor knows? Did they meet?
Hi Greg. I'll try to go to the point.
Yesterday I watched episode 25 of YJP and while it was "interesting" I felt it didn't have stakes at all. The companion comic Young Justice: Targets since a couple of months ago(?) has already a few pages out and because of that I already knew Conner will be alright, Gar is doing better and got an animal support system, and Dick will also be alright as Nightwing shows up in the comic. I don't go looking for spoilers but sadly going through the internet one simply and sadly stumbles upon them more often than not. I'm angry and sad about it. I don't think you have anything to do with leaks as you have always loved keeping things under wraps; but is there anything at all you can do about this problem for the future?
Worst of all episode 26 got leaked yesterday and I got Phantoms finale spoiled X( Raquel will be alright as well and the Supermartian wedding happens. Yey, happy ending! Happy ending but all too predictable and spoiled...
One thing I'm actually happy about and I thank you or whoever made it happen; thank you for having Icicle Jr. at the wedding :) One of the reasons YJ became one of my favorite DC animated series is because of its use of the character of Cameron Mahkent. I've always liked him and I've always wanted for shows, cartoons and movies to make more use of him. And well, since he is "so connected" to M'gann and Conner's relationship begennings I was really happy he shows up at the wedding. Been waiting to see that since the proposal back in YJO. So, thanks for that.
I hope that if the show gets another season, Cameron gets to actually be involved overall. But I don't trust you that much if I have to be honest XD Only because I've seen what you've done in these last 2 seasons of the show with characters people have been wanting to see again...
I wish this show the best. And good luck.
I've really been enjoying the villains in YJ's 4th season, especially the dynamic between Lor-Zod and Ma'alefa'ak's team (you had me cheering for Mantis with his little Phantom Zone projector victory). Can you share a bit about what writing those characters was like? How did you decide to have their personalities play off each other the way you did? Any fun behind the scenes stories while putting them together?
Also on a personal note, when my husband and I were just getting engaged, we were watching the earlier seasons of Young Justice as they aired. Episode 25 of this season just aired on our 10 year wedding anniversary, so thank you and the team for such a long time of getting to enjoy this universe and these characters (we've got Targets on our pull list and are hoping for a 5th season).
We really enjoyed seeing Kaldur's romantic relationship grow in these recent seasons and love Wyynde--he felt like such a real person with that cute exasperation at Kaldur refusing to take a break this season. Did you intend for Wyynde to eventually become Kaldur's partner back when he was first introduced in the tie in comics? What made you decide to pair those two up?
I know I've asked this before but would you be a guest on my podcast now that s4 or young justice is at its last episode
Mr. Weisman,
In the fourth issue of "Justice League vs. Suicide Squad," there is a moment where the Emerald Eye of Ekron refuses to attack Green Lantern Jessica Cruz; the reason why this happened was never explained in the comics (as far as I know...) As such, if this event ever happens in the Earth-16 universe to your version of Jessica Cruz, would you be able to provide a plausible explanation as to why this happens?
Mr. Weisman,
Based on my observations in "Over and Out," am I correct to assume that when the Earth-16 version of the Emerald Eye of Erkon chooses its female wielder and transforms them into the Emerald Empress, that person's natural eye color temporarily changes to green until the transformation is reversed?
Mr. Weisman,
Dru-Zod's quote after Ursa's transformation into the Emerald Empress was "What sorcery is this?!" As such, my question is how and when was Dru-Zod aware of the existence of magic?
Mr. Weisman,
I don't know if this is a plot hole or not, but how come M'comm did not sense Nightwing coming out of the Boom Tube and stop him; considering it took Nightwing about five seconds to destroy the solar pods?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Emerald Empress from the 31st century, is her real name Sarya, Falcye, Cera Kesh, or Ingria Olav? Please confirm which real name is correct in the Earth-16 universe.
Mr. Weisman,
Exactly how many minutes were Dru-Zod and Ursa Zod absorbing fellow sun radiation in those pods before Nightwing intervened and destroyed them? The reason I am asking is because I wanted to know how much yellow sun radiation they needed in order for their invulnerability to be triggered.
1. What year did Krypton colonize Daxam?
2. What year did the technology exchange between Metron and Krypton took place, and who specifically was involved on Krypton's side of this exchange?
3. What year did Zod's attempted coup took place, and what exactly was his issue regarding Krypton's relations with New Genesis?
4. Besides the Houses of El and Zod, what were the names of the other major houses on Krypton?
5. In the Earth-16 universe, how does the Kryptonian calendar work in comparison to Earth's calendar?
Mr. Weisman,
In "Over and Out," I'm honestly surprised that Dru-Zod did tell not tell Kal-El "you truly are the spitting image of your father" when the two of them faced each other outside of the Fortress of Solitude. Did you ever considered using that line when you were working on the script for this episode?
You have repeatedly said that youâd like Earth 16 to continue forever, but (barring contact with a strange meteorite) it is almost certain that Brendon Vietti and yourself will not live forever. While I can well understand wanting original creations, such as the Gargoyles, to continue after a creator is gone, adaptations seem markedly different. Especially an adaption with such a strong and specific authorial vision as Young Justice.
If we allow ourselves to imagine an idyllic world where HBO Max is still eager to order new Young Justice seasons 30-40+ years from now, could you imagine yourselves passing the torch to a new generation or would you prefer the final NEVER THE END be written by yourself and/or Brandon Vietti?
Is the Wisdom of Solomon one of the powers that Mary Bromfield can call upon? It seems obvious enough, since this was the only one of the Shazam powers that she did not state aloud in season 4, but I just thought I'd ask to be sure.
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to Earth-16 version of Kara Zor-El...
#1. What is her age as of the end of Young Justice Season 4? The reason I ask this question is because her Earth-0 counterpart is currently 21 years old in the comics.
#2. What year was she born on Krypton?
#3. Did she lived in Argo City along with her parents prior to Krypton's destruction; like in the comics?
What do you think would be more painful?
Kryptonite
Kaizer-Thrall
Mr. Weisman,
In the following link below, which locations listed in the "Points of Interest" section also exists in Earth-16's version of Krypton?
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Krypton
Hey Greg congrats on the show really love where itâs going and definitely praying for a season six and more because what you guys are doing, outside of it being an action pack drama you know with our favorite superheroes I really appreciate what you guys are doing as far as like you know the mental health aspect personally. Beast boy is a mirror to my lifestyle right now so thank you for that.
My question is how come we as young justice fans donât have a Instagram page or a Twitter page. I only ask because I really think it would be helpful just to promote the show you know putting different scenes or snippets out Iâm just because I know seeing is believing. And itâll just be a better way to NoCap to my viewers you know the show is really good extremely good, and I feel like it deserves to be promoted right. If I could help I definitely would love to but outside of that I love the show and everything that you guys are doing with it.
I would also like to say I would love if the episodes could be a little bit longer ; )
Thank you hope you guys are all good.
Peace.
Jalen
Mr. Weisman,
Just so I can understand this correctly, the Emerald Eye of Ekron chooses its wielder based on that person's anger and desire for absolute power? If this is not correct, then factors determines how it specifically chooses its wielder?
Will Garfield return to Space Trek
Mr. Weisman,
By the time of this posting, I discovered that some scenes for the Season 4 finale "Death and Rebirth" were somehow leaked on YouTube. From my interpretation of the leaked scenes, everything appears to have ended on a good note for the heroes. In regards to the bad guys, I should have expected Vandal Savage to make such a sneaky move. The most shocking part was the Apokolips scene. Yes, I had suspected all along that Mary Bromfield was going to become a villain and one of the female Furies ever since the mid-Season 4 finale; since I figured her turn was a nod to what happened to her in Final Crisis. HOWEVER, I was shocked as hell that Kara Zor-El, daughter of Zor-El and Alura In-Ze, and paternal cousin of Kal-El, is also one of the Female Furies as well; which suggests that she never eventually made it to Earth like in the comics. As such, in regards to your decision to make Kara Zor-El a villain, was this a nod to the comic book storylines "Superman/Batman: Supergirl" (which first introduced Kara Zor-El; during which she was temporarily brainwashed) and "Superman: The Dark Side" (in which Kal-El landed on Apokolips instead of Earth)?
In Catwoman: Hunted, was Dr. Tzin a shout-out to Dr. Zin from Johnny Quest?
Why did Dr Fate rotating hosts cheese the Chaos Lords off so much?
I was so excited to see Supergirl and Black Mary revealed as two new Furies. Talk about a cliffhanger!!!!!!
Hey can you chill with the neck snaps already? Apokolips War traumatized me enough, thank you.
Why did Garfield Logan not apologize to queen peridia and ask to restart their relationship in last episode of young justice season 4?
Just some questions about the Phantom Zone.
In Alan Mooreâs seminal story âWhatever happened to the man of tomorrowâ the phantom Zone was a place so scary even the 5th imp Mxyzptlk feared being trapped. And he is nearly Omnipotent . yet in your version it seems it is childâs play for people like Zatana
1.- Why did you decide to make the Phantom Zone less formidable to hold magic beings ins your version? Not complaining just curious.
2.- Many powers donât seem to work on the zone, like Rocketâs fields,but magic oaks without any issue. Why is it an exception?
3.- Given Dr Fate is Klarion p rough equal, wasnât it have been viable for the them to just have wait until he came back to ask him if o take the team into the oahnrom zone safely, rescue Connor and avoid the whole phantoms finale crisis?
Just one question about Sargeant Marvel/Mary Bomfield
Now now that she is with the furies, In the comics, the origin of the black suit was her getting Black Adamâs powers. Given that this didnât happen on earth 16â¦
1.-What changed the color of her suit from white to black? Is it something she can control?
2.- Is she stronger, ore powerful in her black suit?
3.- Did her source of her powers change?
4.- Would she be rough equal to Kara Zor-El, or the fact that she shares/shared her powers with Freddy and Billy meant she would be weaker compared to Kara who is a full flooded kryotonian?
Just Some questions about the kryptonians
1.- Why did General Zod called Superman âThe last of son of the house of elâ when there was another house of El prisioner. Kru-El and, presumably. Also Kara Zoe El?
https://youngjustice.fandom.com/wiki/Kru-El
2.- Speaking off, why was Zod so angry at Kal-el but showed not such aggression at Kru-el and presumably Kara-Zor El?
3.- Assuming the final episode reveals Kara was with the other kryotnians on the phantom zone, would this confirm that the city of Kandor wasnât saved by the âcollector of worldâ aka brainiac?
So Tim and Stephanie are together ? To be expected.
What bothers me is the fact that you used Tim and Cassieâs relationship as a filler, and for what ?
So people donât say that "DC doesnât allow batfamily members to date outside of the batfamily" ? -which is the absolute truth btw-.
It is just so disrespectful towards Cassie and such a shame that you wasted all of the potential that Tim and Cassieâs relationship hadâ¦
Dear Mr Weisman Before i ask my questions I what to say i am fed up with the ''House of zod''Getting its way and hope that the Kryptonian luck will end soon now then 1. Why did you and the production crew Decide to give Ursa the powers of the Emerald Empress ? 2. Was Phil Morris happy that he finally got to say ''Knell before Zod!'' in a Young Justice episode ?
Hello Greg,
It's seemingly become a pattern that the second half of season 4, unlike prior episodes, has rather vague episode descriptions, whether only stating minor plot details, or containing riddles. Is this because you became wary of possible leaks and wanted to keep everything a surprise?
Hello Greg. Just want to say i am absolutely loving young justice so far.
I've been wondering. Would you mind answering if jason todd died in 2013 or 2014?
I recently read an article about some of the charactersâ favorite movies and books (https://www.polygon.com/entertainment/23014687/young-justice-movies-beast-boy-miss-martian-artemis). How do you come up with small background details about the characters that feel meaningful and genuine (rather than randomly deciding that a character likes Honey Nut Cheerios or something), especially ones you know you probably wonât use? Is it easier when youâre doing this for original characters rather than adaptations of characters from other works?
Hi there, I'm so happy we got to see this much of Young Justice. Hopefully by the time you read this HBO Max will greenlit a season 5. But I'm still gratefull for all that we have already.
I have to say that I particularly loved Kaldur's arc and Rocket's arc in season 4. I do wish we got to learn a bit more about Rocket's backstory on earth 16, since she is such a unique take on being a sidekick and has a pretty cool lifestory in the comics.
I also hope one day you guys choose to explore the more unique parts of the Wonder Woman universe and we get to learn more about Cassie Sandsmark and some cool takes on villains from that world. But I get it if you guys have others part of the DC universe that interest you more. It's fair.
Anyway, my main question is what was the process you took in season 2, 3 and 4 to determine how much you wanted to jump forward in time between each season? Five years was a big jump in season 2, but since then you've made shorter and shorter time jumps. What aspects of the story made you decide to jump so much at the beginning, and jump so little nowadays?
Thank you for all you give us

1. Have Superman and Dick Grayson ever been close like uncle/nephew thing like in the comics
2. Did Superman viewed Dick as an annoying little sidekick
Is Kobold an original character, based on someone from the comics, or both?
in Young Justice Outsiders, what is the nuclear option that lady shiva and ocean master talking about?
Language barriers
1. So, Miss Martian downloaded English language into Foragerâs mind so Forager could speak English. But Forager would still refer to Forager as Forager because Forager, like all bugs, have complex sense of self. But Forager also studied English language at Happy Harbor High School where Forager learned more about English language and also read works of William Shakespeare. But works of William Shakespeare still use English language version of pronouns, yet when Forager speaks and reads works of William Shakespeare, Forager would still speaks and reads with the absence of English language version of pronouns. Is this only Bug culture thing for Forager or has Forager still not yet learned how to read or write or speak using English language version of pronouns? NoOneSpecial must think it to be former as Forager must be very well versed in English language to be reading works of William Shakespeare.
2. I'm guessing that when Zod and Ursa are speaking, they are speaking in kryptonian. So, if Superboy can understand them, is it just another case of willing yourself to be understood in the Phantom Zone?
3. How about Lor-Zod and the Legionnaires? Are they speaking plain English from 1000 years in the future? I'd assume the Legion Flight rings have translators built in them. But what is Lor-Zod using to translate his words?
4. The Atlantean language is designed to be spoken underwater. What about the Martian language? Is it designed to be only spoken telepathically? Can you actually speak it aloud?
5. Do either Halo or Cyborg have the ability to translate languages?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. As she works as a Green lantern now has P.F. ( my nickname for female Forager to avoid confusion) been assigned a sector to patrol yet? or is she still in training? 2. Does Sornaik Natu (the universe 16 version) work as a scientist for the G.L. corps like the late Tomar Re or does she do a different Job besides being a Green lantern ? 3. I originally thought that Danny Chase was running away to Markovia but after re watching a clip of Miss Martian read his mind and learning that the meta gene was activated after he was caught by traffickers this was proven otherwise. where then was Danny running away to before he was caught by Traffickers and sent into space?
Hi Greg.
I'm all caught up and I really enjoyed Seasons 3 and 4 of YJ.
Just curious as to whether you're a big fan of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers series?
I noticed in Season 3 that at one point Vandal placed some significance on the Light having 7 members and I thought that might be a reference of some sort.
Was mantis and foragerâs relationship with each other better before mâcomm started posing as orion?
Tomar-Tuâs father knew the El brothers. Did tomar-Tu also ever meet them or other kryptonians before krypton blew up?
Do you think in the future Amistad will pick the mantle of Rocket and become a superhero like his mother or the first black autistic superhero?
Are Lian,Anissa,Arthur,Jon, Jennifer,Amistad and Don & dawn best friends?
Were there ever any plans for Will to receive his own arc in Phantoms? Why was Will the only member of season one's team (besides Wally of course) to not have an arc this season?
I know this may count as a spoiler, but who are the two reserve Leaguers who's faces are blocked when Superman and Black Lightning are looking at the screen? My personal theory is La'gaan and Detective Chimp, but that's just head canon. Also, is La'gaan fully part of the League as Aquaman III now, or is that just an idea?
When did Guy Gardner enter his coma?
Can you tell us anything about Young Justice's version of Tim Drake's background? I know that some might be spoilers, but since the show is mostly focusing on different characters, I don't think it would be that big a deal.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Was the crack in the Helmet of Fate meant to be an indirect nod to what happened to the New 52 Earth-2 version of the Helmet of Fate; in which it was damaged by that universe's version of Bizarro?
#2. If the Helmet of Fate ends up being completely destroyed, does that mean that Nabu will die and cease to exist? If not, what would actually happen?
Mr. Weisman,
Is green Kryptonite the only form of kryptonite that is known in the Earth-16 universe? The reason I am asking this question is because I am aware that other forms of kryptonite exists in the comics, and I assume that they also exist in the Earth-16 universe, but they have probably not yet been discovered.
Mr. Weisman,
#1. If the Earth-16 version of Lor-Zod is currently 16 years old, does that mean that in the original timeline of the 31st century, he was born in the year 3004; assuming that he time-traveled to the past from the year 3020? Also, was Lor-Zod born BEFORE or AFTER the Kryptonians were settled on Daxam?
#2. It seems that in the Earth-16 universe, prolonged exposure to kryptonite causes Kryptonians to lose consciousness and their skin color to become a discolored pale green; as seen in the case of Lor-Zod. However, how come we don't see any blood veins pop up and turn dark green; assuming that kryptonite poisoning likely also affects a Kryptonian's blood inside their bodies? Did you decide not to do that because showing such a high level of severity of kryptonite poisoning would be considered too graphic?
Mr. Weisman,
Does "The Circle" (a clandestine organization composed of five powerful cosmic beings and intergalactic rulers; first introduced in the six-issue mini-series, "The Man of Steel") exist in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,
Will we ever see the Earth-16 versions of the Arrowverse characters, Zeta-Rho (The 1st husband of Lara Lor-Van) and Tal-Rho (son of Zeta-Rho and Lara Lor-Van, and maternal older half-brother of Kal-El)?
Mr. Weisman,
Although Superboy will obviously survive the events of "Young Justice: Phantoms" because he will appear in the six-issue comic book mini-series "Young Justice: Targets," the main concern is whether or not his mental state (which is messed up due to his time in the Phantom Zone) will be alright by the time "the big event" happens on May 14th, 2030 at midnight in Happy Harbor; an event that he is destined to participate in and which will in turn inspire the formation of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st century?
1 what are the chaos lords opinion on the phantom stranger?
2 what are the lords of order opinion on the phantom stranger?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. In regards to the Earth-16's version of the Guardians of the Universe, are its known members (Appa Ali Apsa, Ganthet (formerly), Krona (formerly), Sayd, and Scar) presumably the same as those seen in "Green Lantern: The Animated Series, since this series is canon-adjacent?
#2. With the introduction of the Earth-16 version of Tomar-Tu (son of Tomar-Re), should we be worried about the possibility that he may one day become a member of the Earth-16 version of the Darkstars; like in the comics?
#3. As a member of the Green Lantern Corps, what Space Sector does Tomar-Tu protect?
Mr. Weisman,
Does Rogol Zaar exists in the Earth-16 universe? If so, then how much of his history is the same as in the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Is Darkseid considered to be the second ruler of Apokolips; succeeding his father, Yuga Khan (real name Zonuz)?
#2. Thus far, Dru-Zod is shown to be familiar with New Genesis, but not with Apokolips. Why is that?
#3. Where is the Earth-16 version of Nubia?
#4. Where is the Earth-16 version of Myrina?
#5. Does Grail (the daughter of Darkseid and Myrina) exists in the Earth-16 universe?

You did a great job with this show and a lot of Disney fans like it.
After Young Justice, are you going to revive Gargoyles for Disney like you did for Young Justice for DC and Warner Bros?

#4. Did she have an ex-husband named Gil Johns?
#5. Is she currently the only human member of the Star Sapphire Corps in the Earth-16 universe?
Mr. Weisman,

Hi Greg,
I really enjoyed your post about how Brandon Vietti is a "MASTER OF STORY," and how he was the one who thought of adding Olympia into the "Evolution" episode of Young Justice: Outsiders.
Do you have any other anecdotes you could share about Brandon having cool ideas or just otherwise doing amazing work on Young Justice?
Also, fantastic work on Young Justice: Phantoms to you and rest of the team, I'm really impressed by the writing this season.
Hey Greg. I have a few questions regarding the ages of the New Godâs, mainly what their human biological equivalents are. What would the ages be for:
1). The Forever People
2). Highfather
3). Highmother
4). Orion
5). Metron
Anyway, Iâm a huge fan of your show and I love the storylines being told. As always, keep up the great work!
Why did you deny us a Supermartian kiss at the end of season 2 only to have them interrupted by Aqualad?!?!?!
Who are your top 5 favourite relationships on Young Justice? Why do you love them and what's your favourite moment from their relationship?
How long exactly did it take for Miss Martian to restore Aqualad's mind? Like how many days or weeks did it take before it was fully and completely restored?
1. In "Ego and Superego," when Zatanna offered the Trowogs Nightwing's SUV, he protested, "I'm not Bruce Wayne!" What is Dick's source of income? I mean, he's not sponging off Bruce, is he?
2. Kind of an overdue question I'm just now asking: I noticed watching "Agendas" that Blue Devil wore a badge on his utility belt. Did Earth-16 Dan Cassidy ever work in law enforcement?
3. Was it your intent to make fans want to see Ma'alefa'ak die a slow, agonizing death? If so, mission accomplished.
Mr. Weisman,
Were you ever tempted to use "Ride on the Magic School Bus" theme song from "The Magic School Bus"/"The Magic School Bus Rides Again" TV Series for season 4 of "Young Justice" due to significance of the school bus' role?
Which of M'gann's hairstyles is your favorite?
Mr. Weisman,
Out of curiosity, why have the Earth-16 versions of Bernadeth, Mad Harriet, and Stompa not made any appearances; considering they are considered to be three of the five core members of the Female Furies in the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
1. In regards to the truce between New Genesis and Apokolips in the Earth-16 universe, even though the details are unclear/unrevealed, is it safe to assume that the pact between the two worlds was sealed with the exchange of Orion (son of Darkseid and Tigra) and Scott Free (son of Highfather and Highmother) to New Genesis and Apokolips; respectively?
2. When Big Barda was introduced in Season 3, is it correct to assume that she was at the point in her life when she was not yet the wife of Mister Miracle (Scott Free)? Also, because Superman clearly risked his own life to save her, is this the turning point in her life that will start her on the path of becoming a hero?
My apologies if I wasn't specific enough with my request about the names of the guards at Belle Reve, but here's the question again: What are the first names of Biggtz, Banks, Hart, Hauser, Ripley, Riker, and Wilcox? (Cooper's first name has been confirmed)
How can new gods exist in 3d plain because in the comics they can't so that. As you know the fourth world is a different plain. His mere physical existence will destroy the universe. Does it stand true for earth 16 new gods as well?
for more info:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcJ8QmogoXY&t=450s
no question Zenith and Abyss was awesome
Hey, Greg! Loving Phantoms.
In Zenith and Abyss, when Orion arrives on the Watchtower, he is accompanied by both the Boomtube sound and a Zeta designation. Was that just an oversight, or does the Watchtower have a mechanism for identifying Boomtube arrivals and verifying they aren't intruders?
Also, how did Green Lantern Forager and the Kaizer-Thrall arrive at the Watchtower? Ring power, Boomtube, Zeta beam? A minor point, but I'm curious.
Mr. Weisman,
It was honestly shocking that the true identity of the Kaiser-Thrall is an 11-year-old boy named Danny Chase. As such, this is the Earth-16 version of Daniel W. "Danny" Chase, the nephew of Adrian Chase/Vigilante?
Where is Danny Chase from? He has a pretty clear southern accent, can you tell us what state he's from? <3
Mr. Weisman,
Phantom Girl clearly has an accent when she speaks, but what is Earth language equivalent for her accent?
Mr. Weisman,
For those Earth-16 characters who can fly and/run at super speed, what are their top speeds in terms of mph (miles per hour)?
Mr. Weisman,
How come Earth-16's Phantom Zone does not negate Zatanna's magic, Aqualad's hydrokinesis, and Rocket's inertia powers? The reason I am asking this is because I remember Earth-12's Phantom Zone does negates all powers; as depicted in the "Justice League Beyond 2.0" comics.
When did Beast Boy adopt Wingman?
Hello Greg, big fan of the show here and what you've been doing with Halo's character especially. But I admit, as a nonbinary person myself, it hurt to hear them be misgendered in YJ420. I did see and appreciate your twitter apology, but I wanted to ask if it was possible to re-record those lines with the proper pronouns? You may consider the damage already done, but it will not only improve rewatches of the show, but also save people from the misgendering if they discover the show later in its run. It's better late than never, and I've even heard it be done by other shows in the past (foreign dubs of The Owl House on Disney with their nonbinary character for instance, correcting the lines with neopronouns when the language didn't have a default gender neutral like we do). It would mean a lot if you could show us how important this is to you and to their character. I already watch the show with someone who misgenders Halo, and it's more difficult to correct him when the show itself still gets it wrong and makes him doubt whether their pronouns matter.
Questions about the Zenith and Abyss episode
1. Why wasn't the Team more emotional after finally reuniting with Conner? For months they thought he was dead only to learn he's alive and after finally meeting him again, no one even cried?
2. How did the Team learn how to use telepathy in the Phantom Zone? They'd only been in there less than 2 days?
3. What happened to the Team's space belts they were wearing when they first entered the Phantom Zone?
4. Why didn't anyone think to prepare medical supplies for Conner? They knew he was injured and yet they didn't bring anything to help with his injuries?
I keep hearing discrepancies on the scale of the Green Lantern Corps. I know the show itself is set in the Milky Way, but the range of the Corpâs jurisdiction is still confusing to me. Tomar-Re said they had an entire âgalaxyâ to police and that statement implies the Corps is limited to just one galaxy, but in the comics the Corps jurisdiction is universal hence the Guardians being called the Guardians of the Universe. My question is: which is the Corps jurisdiction? Just the Milky Way Galaxy, or the entire universe as a whole.
Dear Mr Wiesman 1. How old is Tomar Tu and how long has he been a Green Lantern? 2. Is Tomar Tu a scientist like his late father or does he just work as a Prison guard? (at lest for now anyway) 3. I noticed that Danny chase had a southern accent to his voice. What state, in the south, did he hail from and was he going to Markovia before his space trip began?
1. In "Rescue and Search," at around the 7:18 mark there is security footage of Bart, Cham, and Imra shopping (the time stamp on the feed was 15:31:01:07) and at the 10:52 mark, the Watchtower footage of Bart swiping supplies at super speed (the time stamp on the feed was 01:32:10). What day did these two events take place on? August 27?
2. At the end of "Ego and Supergo," during the end credits, who said "About time!" and who said "Ha ha , very asterious!"?
3. At the start of "Zenith and Abyss," was that a Guardian of the Universe Kilowog was speaking to in the background while Tomar-Tu spoke with Lor-Zod?
4. Also at the start of "Zenith and Abyss," was the Green Lantern that flew across the room supposed to be Malet Dasim or was that Galet Dasim from the trial in Invasion on Rimbor?
5. In "Zenith and Abyss," Phantom Girl exclaims, "Thank Bgtzlqwar!" Is Bgtzlqwar an existing DC character or just something made up for the episode?
In season 2, Mganns telepathic range was mentioned a few times (during her kidnapping and searching the war world). By season 4, how far is her range? Miles?
In Young Justice, what happened to S'yraa S'mitt following her arrest
How was it possible for Rocket to get a phone signal on her phone from earth when she was on the planet new genies in young justice season 4? How was beast boy able to get his dog wingman threw a zeta tube when garfield travel to therapy season with black canary with the outsiders in young justice season 4?
Would you consider Lois Lane, Jonny Kent and M'gann M'orzz members of the House of El since Jonny is Superman's son, Lois is Superman's wife and M'gann is Conner's fiancee/hopefully soon to be wife?!?!
Does Jonny Kent have a kryptonian name too? and is it Jon-El?
Does Barbara's dad know that she's Batgirl/Oracle? If so, when did he find out? If not, how does he think she was paralyzed?
1 Was maâaleâfeâak the one to recruit mantis to darkseidâs side after posing as orion?
2 does mâcomm still lead the white martians while he is busy with work on apakolips or does another white martian temporarily take over leadership while he is away?
Are Amistad Ervin and Lian Harper friends?
I saw them both in Young Justice outsiders final episode, Nevermore and heard it the YJ Audioplay, the Prize.
How did Wilhelm get his scar?
Do Jeff/Black Lightning's daughters,Anissa and Jennifer have the metagene like their father?
How Vandal Savage and the Justice Society met in World War 2?
Are Amistad Ervin and Lian Harpers friends?
How long after getting paralyzed did Barbara start operating as Oracle?
How exactly does Green Lantern: The Animated Series fit into Earth 16's continuity. Guy Gardener appeared in the show, and John Stewart was name-dropped, but both were lanterns during Team Year Zero. Razer was also stated to have been looking for Aya for 4 years. Knowing that this season was taking place in 2020, it can be assumed that Razer began searching for Aya in 2016. But this doesn't make much sense as this would take place during the series finale where Razer left to search for Aya and in this same season, Guy and John show up for the first time. The two of them have been stated to only recently become lanterns but in the continuity of Earth-16, Guy and John have been lanterns well before 2016. This is making my brain hurt. Also while I have your attention, would Aya's appearance in Earth-16 match her counterpart in GL:TAS. (Meaning does she look the same)
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the members of Earth-16's Infinity, Inc.:
#1. I'm honestly surprised that Fury's real name is not Erika Storn. But if her first name is actually Rosa, then what is her last name?
#2. What is Kobold's real name?
#3. Just for clarification, they are now called Infinitors, and are no longer called Infinity, Inc., correct?
#4. In the comics, Infinity, Inc. had other members (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Infinity,_Inc._II_(New_Earth)) that have not yet been seen in the Earth-16 universe. As such, what are the chances that we will eventually see some, if not all, of those characters in a future season of Young Justice?
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 versions of Hawkman and Hawkwoman are Katar Hol and Shayera Thal; respectively, then why are they not based on their New 52 counterparts; who are clearly completely separate individuals from Carter Hall and Kendra Saunders; respectively?
1 Since Deathstroke expressed interest in joining the light when he was still a enforcer. What was Deathstroke' s plan on joining the light if ra' s didn't retire and there was no other vacant light seat? Was he planning on eliminating a member of the light?
2 Do ultra humanite and Deathstroke agree with the light' s goals? Excluding any personal motivations they may have
1) Is the Sentinels of Magic just a name Zatanna uses for her students, or is it a wider group? I ask because at one point in Odnu! Zatanna talks about them "becoming great sentinels of magic" which might suggest they are training to join a larger group.
2) Does Zatanna consider herself a Sentinel?
3) If there are other Sentinels that we have met, can you tell us who they are?
When Captain Marvel/Shazam transforms, he is always hit by a bolt of lightning. We see in Cornered that he can use this offensively to harm foes, but in other episodes we see the lightning do no damage, such as in Triptych when he transforms and the truck he is in is undamaged.
Does Billy have the power to control whether the lightning effects things around him, or is it that it only strikes him and hits someone else if he is holding them?
Hi Greg, I have some questions from Ego and Superego:
1) Has Infinity Inc. been officially renamed the Infinitors, or is the latter just an informal term like Leaguers?
2a) Harper Row mentions having dumped Jack. Is this the same boyfriend she had in Early Warning?
2b) Can you tell us Jack's surname?
3a) Harper works for H.H.D.W.P. What does that stand for?
3b) What is her job there?
Hi Greg, I have a couple of questions from Beyond the Grip of the Gods:
1) When was Amistad born?
2) While disuccing possible reservists, Superman says "Russia has MORE Rocket Reds." Is there a Rocket Red on the Justice League already?
Do you think in the next season of Young Justice, they will show the children of the Justice League as teenagers or young adult from a different future like Bart Allen and the Legion of Superheroes?
Here are the kids of the heroes from the YJ universe:

[Spoilers]
So Lizard Johnny's metahuman ability gives him not only the physical traits of a Lizard, but also the abilities of lizards. For example he squirts blood out of his eyes when being threatened by those meta-haters. An ability belonging to the Horned Toad Lizard. But I have two questions regarding his powers.
1) When his Tongue made contact with the thug trying to threaten him, his Tongue gave off a type of Venom. Did the venom paralyze the thugs arm?
2) does he have other lizard abilities? Like Camouflage, regrowing of arms and legs, and other abilities like that.

How did you guys go about coming up with your rules for time travel? Was there any films/tv shows/whatever's that influenced your time travel rules? Just wanted a peak of the creative process.
Hey Greg! Love the show, two questions.
1) Traditionally in DC comics, all the races of Mars were killed off in an genocide-like event caused by the more violent white martians. Are we to accept that Conner's sacrifice earlier this season prevented that from coming to pass?
2) More random, but you've mentioned before that Darkseid, Blue Beetle (Ted), and the Wonder Girls of Donna and Cassie were the four explicit characters you could not use in season one. I'm sure there must've been a lot of storyboarding before and after getting that edict, so was there ever a time when a Wonder Girl was on the original team? If so, can you tell us which one?
How exactly do Zviadâs psionic powers work? Does he telepathically put the ideas in peoples heads or amplify whatever thoughts are already there?
#RenewYoungJustice #SaveEarth16
Hello Greg!I hope you are doing well. My questions are:
A: How do you choose characters from the comics to adapt, do you have an inherit knowledge of all the characters? Rictus was a very surprising addition to me, I would never have predicted Rictus would ever even be adapted.
B: Do you have any limitations to which characters will be adapted, could someone from recent or current runs get adapted?
C: Finally i'm curious if Wildstorm characters are off the table?
Why didn't Thom Adcox read his backward spells backwards in "Rescue and Search" instead of reversing the recording?
Oh and sorry I had another one :
Why on earth did Parasite wanted to destroy Geneva ? For fun ?
So that's 5 actually...
In S01E24 Performance, I still don't get two things
1) Parasite was trapped into foam and had martians powers, why didn't he just phased through matter to free himself ?
2) Why did he had to wait Megan told him he was vulnerable to fire to be actually hurt by fire ?
3) Why invulnerability didn't protect him from the fire and the weakness took over the strength ?
4) How did Superboy recharge his powers faster than Superman ?
And actually that's 4 things but too lazy to correct the beginning of the post...
Are the Children of Oberon able to eat human foods in their natural form? I mean, I know you've said you're not defining what food is for them, I'm just wondering, regardless what what they need to eat to survive; CAN they eat human food in full magical form? Do they enjoy it? Or would it possibly hurt them?
Mr. Weisman,
Once the Reach Apocalypse was officially averted at the end of Season Two, whatever happened to the future version of Neutron in the year 2056?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. You have previously mentioned that Wally's funeral took place in June 2016; meaning it was clearly sometime between June 20th and July 4th. As such, what was the exact date and location that the funeral took place?
#2. Who gave eulogies during Wally's funeral?
#3. During the funeral, did Wally's parents wrongfully blamed anyone for Wally's death; assuming they were both in a fragile emotional state?
#4. You mentioned before that Perdita met Beat Boy during Wally's funeral, but how exactly did she receive the news of Wally's death? I mean, was Kid Flash's death mentioned on the TV news off-screen in the Season 2 finale?
#5. Speaking of which, if Kid Flash's death was mentioned on the TV news off-screen, who broke the bad news to the world...? Was it Iris West-Allen (and I assume that she struggled not to emotionally break down while telling everyone; so that no one would figure out that she had a personal connection to Kid Flash), or was it someone else...? The reason I am asking this question is because when Artemis when to see Wally's parents, the look on their faces seemed to indicate that they already knew about Wally's death before she came by; as such, I assume they likely heard on the TV news.
1. Whatâs the name of the Reachâs home world?
2. How many planets have the Reach taken over?
3. They had a Martian beetle, does that mean they were planning on going to Mars after earth, or was mars already dealing with the reach? If so, why didnât we see any residual effects of Reach influence in the mars arc of s4?
You have no idea how excited I am for Young Justice Targets!!
I`ve been waiting so long for new comics. :D
How does the YJ Wiki timeline compare to yours? In terms of size and details.
https://youngjustice.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline
1 why did you choose granny goodness as a member of the light?
2 why did you choose zviad as a member of the light?
Mr. Weisman,
If by some chance, the Earth-16 version of Wally West somehow comes back...
#1. Would the Legion of Super-Heroes somehow be involved in his return; in a manner similar to what happened in the comics (as depicted in the conclusion of the crossover event, "The Lightning Saga")?
#2. Would he wear his red "Flash" costume; like he did in the comics when the DC Rebirth era began?
Mr. Weisman,
1. What is the in-universe explanation for the lack of any appearances from the Earth-16 versions of Daniel West (Rudy's and Iris' brother) and his son, Wallace Rudolph West?
2. In the Earth-16 universe, is Wally's grandfather's name William West, and is Wally's great-grandfather's name Wallace West?
3. In the Earth-16 universe, what is the name of Wally's grandmother?
1: you've said that Jaime was born in 1999, but in "Elder Wisdom" Gar says he's eighteen on January 1st of 2019, which would mean he was born in 2000. was this a mistake?
2: Zatanna says Traci is eighteen on May 15th of 2020. was she born in 2002 or 2001?
just wanted to clarify the ages of these two, since they started dating by season 3 and you've said before that you think a three-year age difference between teenagers is significant in the context of a romantic relationship
To the individual who thinks that I think I'm an authority on islam:
A. I never claimed to be a scholar
B. There are rules that are crystal clear that either makes you an open sinner and/or heretic or an apostate. Afterward specific issues are for the scholars to discern. if you seriously want a civil discussion email me at hafizurn@live.com. all are welcome
Youre right that nothing this show does will ever make me happy with Halo because the entire premise of the character is flawed and nothing can be done to fix it and tt's not like anyone listens to our ---complaining--- in the first place so why does it matter
you are playing with fire with creating a visibly Muslim character that's in a gay relationship You have no idea how serious that is I don't know if you're ever going to see any of the asks written by the user Hafiz If not, he's an obviously fundamentalist Muslim who thinks he's the final authority about Islam and is constantly raging in here. He is but one of many people who think this way This is what you're up against The fact that Halo is a horribly written Muslim character that isn't even Muslim just adds fuel to the fire and adds legitimacy to their arguments that there's no such thing as a gay Muslim and that it's a Western disease Are you even aware of this? Do you realize the damage you're doing?
I'm an aspiring writer in an MFA program. I recently wrote a short story that my critique group was positive about and my teacher put me in touch with an editor that works in the industry. He said that he had trouble getting into my story because the names of my characters were "distracting." That was a PC way of saying they were too foreign for him to comprehend because I used names that are actually common in my native country instead of adjusting them to a Western audience, which would make no sense in the context of the setting. This is not the first time I have gotten feedback like this. This is the boundaries POC face when we try to publish our own stories.
And yet you and Brandon are getting praised for your mediocre attempts at diversity because golly isn't it just awesome when white men try to include us, even if they're completely unequipped to handle a topic, even if they fall into classic stereotypes, even if they're using their platform to spread misinformation, even if the characters have no depth, even if the content is bad? And since you get praised for doing the bare minimum, so why would you bother trying to do better?
So while you may think of yourself as some sort of saint or savior, you're really not any better.
Hi Greg,
Really enjoying Phantoms now that we're in the final stretch. My questions might seem a little obvious but I don't want to assume things about a character in-universe based on who her voice actress is, so...
Is Rosa AKA Fury Trans?
During the Zatanna Arc of Season 4 we see a lot of magic and so my questions are regarding it.
Previously you told us the specialisms of Black Briarthorn, Felix Faust, Wotan and Wizard.
1. The Specialisms of Khalid seems to be biological manipulation which given his role as a Doctor fits. Is his knowledge as a Doctor a requirement for that kind of magic or does it at least enhance his skill at performing that kind of magic?
2. How did Traci settle on her Urban Magic specialism given her initial talent was at Bad Luck Magic?
3. Mary seems to be an absorber of magic, is this her specialism, is it tied to her connections to Sergeant Marvel or is it a thing all Sorcerers can do?
4. Are Khalid, Traci and Zatanna Homo Magi meaning they can use their Vim Vitai to perform Sorcery whereas Mary Marvel is Homo Sapien so must take magic from elsewhere to perform Sorcery?
5. Through the Crown of Arion all the magic we know of in the show has derived from the Lords of Order through to the Homo Magi with the exception of Klarion. Of course we don't know the source of some magic such as Neptune's Trident and The Sword of Beowulf. Are there other sources of magic or are Lords of Order and Chaos the ultimate source for all magic?
I have some questions regarding the Space Belts first seen used in Season 3 Episode 13 Influence by Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman and Superman as they assaulted the Orphanage and seen again in the latest episode Ego and Superego, Season 4 Episode 23. I have included two questions on similar technology.
1. Who developed this technology?
2. Was it based on existing technology or was it designed from scratch?
3. How do the Life Support functions work, ie where does the Oxygen come from.
4.How does Rocket's Intertia Belt's Life Support functions work?
5. How do Power Rings Life Support Functions work.
I wanted to thank you for season 4 which has basically been a bunch if arcs centred around all the subject matter I've wanted explored since season 1. I hope you get to keep doing what you have been.
Regarding the five between the five anchors (Aquaman, Nightwing, Artemis, Rocket, and Zatanna) and Klarion, it looked to me like Klarion was the aggressor/aggressive against the first four, but was more responsive to Zatanna, refuting her attacks instead of attacking her directly.
1. Was that a deliberate choice?
2. If so, was there anything about Zatanna specifically (such as Klarion being curious what she would do, having some grudging respect, something else)?
As bear's age was mentioned in the show I wanted to know more about how old are the gods.
1-how old is Darkseid?
2-how old is highfather?
3-how old is orion?
4-who is the oldest new god and how old is he?
5-how many years ago the old gods were born?
Child had a very poor relationship with klarion declaring that he was a Servant of order. This shows that there are lords of chaos who butt heads with each other. So are there other lords of order who are frustrated with nabuâs handeling of earth and think he is doing a poor job?
Hello there. I just read this on tumblr by user throwawayuntilfurthernotice:
"Young Justice: The Problem With Halo.
I am not going to beat around the bush, I donât like the character of Halo/Violet in Young Justice. They arenât the worst character on the show, but the way theyâre written is so goddam frustrating.
The writers wanted to have their cake and eat it too when it came to Halo, for you see, they werenât just the first Muslim character that has been introduced into the showâs universe, but theyâre also non binary.
Now this raises a lot of problems, as Haloâs faith never really comes into play during Season Three, theyâre only Muslim in appearance only. It also doesnât help that Halo even states that theyâre not Muslim in the episode âEarly Warningâ but they still continue to wear a hijab because.....reasons.
To the writersâ credit, they do try to address this issue in Season Four, by giving Halo their own subplot in which they try to learn more about Islam, but like most things in Season Four, it never really goes anywhere. As Khalid pretty much takes over as the newest Muslim member of the team during Zatanaâs arc and Halo is just kinda left with nothing to do.
That is until the most recent episode, in which the writers basically told everyone that rightful criticized Halo and Harperâs interaction in Season Three to go fuck themselves, because Halo and Harper is now the endgame.
I fucking hate Harper Row, she really is the perfect example of how not to properly portray a bisexual character in media. And the recent episode really made her come off as an entitled brat, which I donât think was the intention because the writers clearly want the viewers to root for Halo and Violet getting together by the end of the episode.
But to make a long story short, I personally feel like Halo could have been written a lot better as a character had the writers had a clear idea of what they wanted them to be from the beginning. Instead of just mashing various ideas together and expecting to be praised for surface level representation."
I know Halo/Violet has has been a complicated character for many to become fond of since their introduction in season 3. And it seems nothing you write or do with them is making anyone happy with them. I'm just going with the flow and don't think too much of them. The latest episode Ego and Superego, I believe was a good Halo episode. And I actually cared or more like was interested in what was happening in the episode with them. I'm not a fan of Brion or Harper either but to me they were also pretty ok this episode. I didn't hate them.
I'd love to know what's your opinion on this opinion (the tumblr post), please. How does it make you feel the frustration people have with Halo?
Btw, their new costume looks awesome!
Has klarion created anymore flesh monsters since he fought the outsiders?
What do Carlo and his brother do?
Hey Greg!
Any tidbits on what Andie was talking about during her time in group therapy in the most recent episode? Everyoneâs comments about it being a good talk got me curious!
Was there anyone in-universe against Logan and Perdita dating? Like people who thought it'd be too much of a security risk for royalty to date a superhero and/or actor?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the post-credits scene in "Kaerb Ym TraeH!," did you put Mary Bromfield into that position in order to set up her role to be similar to that depicted in "Final Crisis"? Or is Mary going to become one of the Female Furies of Apokolips? Regardless of what you decided, if she ends up truly becoming a villain, how worried should we be about Mary potentially wanting to get revenge on Zatanna; even the possibility of Mary likely going after Zatanna's father (Zatara) and killing him as a way to make Zatanna suffer and to mentally/emotionally destroy her...?
After Artemis was nice enough to invite Roy to rejoin the Team in that canonical AudioPlay called "The Prize". Are any of the heroes trying to make sure Arsenal (Roy Harper) doesn't end up like the Vandal Savage, Black Adam/Teth Adam, Ra's al Ghul, and Geo-Force/Brion Markov (The guys who started out as heroes, before becoming misguided and losing their most moral principles) after what happened in the episode "Nevermore"? Because I'm sure they remember the mistakes he made during Young Justice Season 2.
Do you know the difference between diversity and tokenism? Because this show is skewing towards the latter and it is upsetting to watch. Rocket being an ~autism mom~ was the last straw for me. Focusing on the poor, suffering mommy instead of the actual autistic person may get you praise from the neurotypicals but we are sick of our voices being drowned out. We are sick of being supporting characters who are depicted as a burden on our caretakers. Would be cool to get an actual superhero on the spectrum that has other traits beyond autism but that would have taken too much work right? And you have a billion other demographics to pander to this season, you do not have time to flesh any of the characters out, you need to cram in as many as possible.
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Isis:
#1. Is her name Adrianna Tomaz?
#2. Is her brother Osiris (Amon Tomaz)?
#3. Is Black Adam her husband?
#4. Is her citizenship identified as Egyptian?
#5. Is she the Queen of Kahndaq?
do you even know what your own show is about at this point one second youâre saying itâs about the young heroes then youâre saying itâs only about the main 6 then apparently the show was never about the team because the main 6 arenât on it anymore but in season 2 the team was still the focus even though 3 of the ogs werenât on it yet it wasnât the focus in 3 and 4 even though some were still on it like ???? feels like youâre trying to cram your entire version of the the dc universe into one show which is never going to work. sorry you didnât get all the spin-offs you were wanting. i wanted them too but not at the expense of all the character development and relationships you made us get invested in durinf season one. one episode the show feels like jlu or then other times it feels like itâs trying to be focused like teen titans, what exactly are you going for?
Wait. You said that Klarion and Child are both 9? Child I buy, but Klarion's tall enough to be a teenager. How does that work?
Mr. Weisman,
Does a Green Martian who goes by the name of D'Kay D'Razz exist in the Earth-16 universe?
How old is Kobolt?
Is he based on what comic book character?
How old is Wingman the dog and the sidekick?
Mr. Weisman,
1. What happened to the real Wilhelm Vittings?
2. Are both Count Vertigo and Simon Ecks locked up in a Markovian Prison or did Brion have them both executed after he became King?
3. Why did Lizard Johnny leave the Meta-Human Youth Center and go to Markovia instead of joining the Team or the Outsiders?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. What part of Scotland does Looker come from? 2. What is Halo majoring in at Ivy University? 3. Did the movie the Box trolls help with creating the Earth 16 Trogowogs like Grimlins had as well? 4. Do You find it ironic as well i do when Superboy told Phantom girl to ''Kneel before Zod!'' as Nolan North did voice General Zod in the first Injustice Video game ?
Obviously we know some of the character's birthdates (Dick, Wally, Superboy) because they were plot points in the show or comic series, but have you put thoughts into specific dates for other characters? I'd be hoping to know for the rest of the OG team at least (Artemis, Zatanna, Raquel, etc.)
Thanks.
What made you want to engage with fans in this way? And then to *continue* to do so? It must be truly exhausting sometimes!
What was the writing/decision process like to have Phantoms be comprised of more-or-less independent 4 episode mini-arcs?
Hoy Greg just curious about the creative choices you made with the Marvel family.
1.-Why did you decided to make them weaker by sharing the power? Not judging just curious.
I recall that, for example, Mary often got her powers from a bunch of goddesses in other versions and Billy didnât seem any weaker for sharing his powers with Freddy, including in the original Fawcett run.In the movie he even shared them with 5 family members.
Just curious on why you deliberately make the 3 weaker. Was it so they wouldnât be too powerful for villains to be a credible threat?
2.- Hypotethically, if Shazam/Captain Marvel was injured, say but Billy transformed again to his normal self, and then back to Shazam/Captain Marvel would his powered self be âfreshâ and without injuries?
Hi Greg! You have so much fun making a believable and specific timeline for Young Justice (or you seem to--more pertinently, you put a lot of effort into something that is fun for me to read). I wanted to ask you what is hopeful a fun and lighthearted question about which historical events have happened in Young Justice and which ones you might want to leave yourself open to having an alternate history version for.
1. Which American presidents have served that office in the Young Justice universe?
Hopefully explaining the reasoning behind my question will make it easier to answer. I am not asking you to confirm whether or not Biden or Trump or Obama, etc. exist in YJ and how they feel about superheroes or otherwise try to get you to give your political opinions on modern political figures. I am, however, under the assumption that, as a writer, it's easiest for you to write under the assumption that Young Justice's history is the same as ours except where specified, and that the farther back we go, the more likely it is that the Young Justice timeline aligns with real-life (again, except where specified). So I guess my question assumes that, for example, some version of George Washington was the first president, and some version of Abraham Lincoln served during the Civil War, and some version of Franklin Roosevelt served during WWII, because that would explain why Young Justice's world looks so similar to our own. But how close to the present can we get to where those assumptions are no longer valid? Is there a historical point where this question becomes a spoiler request but before it is fair game? For example, could we assume that every president from George Washington through Harry Truman served in Young Justice but after that you don't want to confirm or deny anything? Or is it all a spoiler request?
Anyway, this question is just a fun thing for me to think about and I hope it's fun for you too. I tried to keep it more historical and less political because I know the latter is a messy topic on the internet.
Thank you for all your work on this incredible series!
Are you considering adding more characters to Season 5?
Because I have some ideas for people who should definitely appear by then.
Just wanted to show my love for the series.
In the final episode of season 3 black lightning exposed that lex luthor created infinity inc to the UN. So Why is it that at the end of phantoms episode 18 superman asked if the infinitors could be trusted?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. How old is Lizard John (i know his real name but John sounds more mature to me) and how did he make it to Markovia ? 2. How long has Beast Boy had his Corgi and did Miss martian Robot Man and Wonder Girl ever apologize to Beast Boy in kind for trying to both guilt him and force him back to duty because of what they wanted instead of asking him if the hero life was something he still wanted to do? 3. How old is Every man and what part of new York does he come from?
I've loved all of your shows since I was a Gargoyles-obsessed 6-year-old, but was a little disappointed to see Rocket get an "autism mom" storyline--no offense or shade intended, its just that media depictions of autism tend to skew HARD towards prioritizing parents of autistic children & how their autism impacts the parent's experience, rather than actually focusing on the autistic individual themselves & what life is like for US.
Any hope for an autistic character in hypothetical future seasons who isn't just a complication for his mother's storyline?
9 ! On the episode 23 of season 4, on Nightwing's arc, Dick spoke 9 times. And I counted the time he appeared on screen : 1 minute and 18 seconds, and most of the time he just stands out in the background. I calculated, that gives about 5% of the episode for him.
For a Nightwing fan like me, this is pretty hard and sad...
Don't you think you've just sacrificed Dick's character because of the importance and the need to tell the plot ?
This is a response to episode 23 of phantoms: There are no boyfriends and girlfriend in Islam. People literally have been punished for their deviance of pre martial relationship and sometimes even executed based on the magnitude of the crime. So when you showcase their "relationship" you're mocking our belief. Ironic isn't when you talk about respecting beliefs. There are no muslim theys or whatever goofy nonsense liberals like to come up with.
"And by Him Who created male and female;" Quran 92:3. This verse refutes theys, xi and whatever goofy nonsense liberals come up with. Originally I was going to bat an eye to this issue but you guys just wanted to milk this lgbtq non binary woke nonsense and had to go involve islam with that which in return made me get involved in this response. Again nobody asked for "Muslim representations" but you just had to meddle with forces beyond your grips of understanding. If it does get renewed for a 5th season I probably won't watch it if you involve Islam. Again nobody asked you to represent Muslims but sir you just had to go there. This is what Hollywood doesn't understand. Just basic things. I guessing your "Muslim" writers and actor don't understand basic rulings of Islam otherwise they wouldn't be in this industry

As such my first question to you is this: In comparison to the comics, which people from the lists above worked in the Earth-16's version of the Daily Planet, and what are their respective job positions?
For my second question, how long has the Daily Planet been a newspaper for Metropolis in the Earth-16 universe?
In Young Justice, if Cyborg moved out of the Premier Building, where does he live now? Does he attend college?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Jimmy Olsen, is his full name James Bartholomew "Jimmy" Olsen?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Cat Grant, is her full name Catherine Jane "Cat" Grant?
Knowing the exact location of Vandal's hideout, did he position it on an international border (or rather, did he perhaps position the international border on the mountain) in order to create a jurisdictional conflict in the admittedly highly unlikely event it were to be discovered?
1) Was the changing Captain Marvel's name to Shazam a voluntary move on your part or was it mandated by WB?
2) If it was a mandate, would it preclude some character on-screen acknowledging that the Shazam Family used to be the Marvel Family? I ask because of Mary's response to Khalid in "Odnu!" I didn't know if this was just your or the writer being a smarty-pants or whether there was some other concern.
Mr. Weisman,
When was the Javelin (the Justice League's spacecraft) first created and who built/designed it?
Hey there greg.
I just read that you said that you wanted the same actress to be able to play Mary Bromfield and the chaoslord child
My question is, does this has any plot/ story significance, like How Superman and Superboy are played by the same voice actor? Or was that due to budget or union reasons?
I can see why with superboy being a clone and all you would want the same voice actor. But I don't see any link berween Mary and child, besides the latter liking the power hungry side of her.
1 how would you describe jace and ultra humaniteâs relationship?
2 how does Helga view her former mentor?
Exactly how many Kryptonian prisoners are there in the Phantom Zone? Is it just Dru-Zod, Ursa and their handful of followers or are there more of them spread out into the Phantom Zone?
Do you or your children even played Street Fighters or Sonic the Hedgehog?
What is the title of the next episode of Young Justice Phantoms?
Hey Greg, Iâm Connor, loving season 4 right now and Iâm just wondering after hearing Thirteen reject an offer to join the Outsiders, did anyone else receive an invitation to join and havenât yet or was it just her?
Mr. Weisman,
For each criminal in the Phantom Zone whose name was identified on-screen and in each of the episode credits in Season 4, exactly when and why were they sent into the Phantom Zone, and exactly how long were each criminal's sentences? I'm not specifically asking for any lengthy explanations for why each identified criminal was sent into the Phantom Zone; a short summary (maybe a few sentences) for each criminal should work.
Mr. Weisman,
Since Damian Wayne became Robin at the age of 10 in the comics, does that mean in the Earth-16 universe that Tim Drake will keep the mantle of Robin until then? Or will Tim Drake become Red Robin, and the mantle of Robin will likely go to the Earth-16 version of Duke Thomas (who is currently known as the Signal in the comics; although he WAS Robin in "The New 52: Futures End)?
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, Aquaman and Mera have a daughter named Andrina "Andy" Curry. As such, what are the chances that we will one day see the Earth-16 version of this character?
I am a child the 90s so Gargoyles was one of my top favorites. I revisit it often and wish for its continuation. Is there anything us fans/viewers can do on our end to help continue Gargoyles?
Mr. Weisman,
As of the time of this posting, can you please confirm if the full names of each person listed below is correct in the Earth-16 universe?
I would like to let you know that I investigated each personâs full name by looking in the DC Database Wiki; both the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) and post-Flashpoint versions of each character; so you may see one version of a characterâs full name, or a combination of both. If I have question marks on a characterâs full name, it means I am personally unsure as to what the characterâs full name is.

Was the animated film Justice League vs. the Fatal Five a source of inspiration for Young Justice: Phantoms? I ask because I was present at the WonderCon 2019 panel (when "Influence" was screened to the crowd) and I remember that a JL vs. FF trailer was shown during the panel as well. Fast forward to 2021 and 2022, and we have a fourth season of YJ which features a "time sphere" like the one seen in Justice League vs. the Fatal Five. And the Emerald Empress's Eye of Ekron was seen briefly in season 4 episode 20, no less. Is all of this just a co-incidence, or did that film provide some inspiration for yourself and Brandon Vietti? By the way, I love the fact that Dynamic Music Partners worked on both projects!
I'm rereading the Gargoyles SLG comics (after having done a rewatch of the TV series). While reading the comics, I try to "hear" the actors' voices in my head saying the lines. One thing I wondered (and it doesn't appear that this has been asked before): when Robyn meets with Castaway in Bad Guys #3, do you envision that Castaway was using his Scottish accent, the affected English accent, or some combination thereof? I have my own theory, but am curious as to your intent (especially since, during the scene, he claims to no longer be Jonny Canmore).
While I'm here, I'll just add that I've always particularly loved this issue, from the depth that you gave to Robyn and her relationships with her siblings, to Christopher Jones's amazing artwork (especially the stunning sequence with Demona and the tumbling skulls). It's really a largely action-free issue, and very character-driven in a terrific way. So, thanks for the great work.
In The Gargoyles universe, what is the name of Maria Chavez's husband?
Hi! I was rewatching Young Justice and I haven´t been able to get this question out of my head.
1) What are Nightwing's, Rocket's and Zatanna's day jobs?
We´ve seen what the rest of the Year 0 Team works with but the only other job that was shown was Nightwing's solo performance with Haly's Circus. Are those 3 full-time heroes who only work with the Team/League or do they have jobs as civilians?
PS: I just wanted to say that Season 4 has been amazing so far. Season 1 will forever hold a special place in my heart, but Season 4 is definetely my second favorite and I've been streaming it non-stop. The cast and the crew really outdid themselves and I'm excited for the season finale.
Thank you so much for your time!
In Young Justice, did Bruce Wayne train with Zatarra during his journey to becoming Batman?
Hello
1-Can a martian change their chemical composition by shape shifting?
2-If a martian turn into a stone wall, would he turn into stone itself or its his appearance that changes? And would he gain stone hardness?
3-What abilities mcomm gain by turning into malfaak animal? Other than tentacles and sharp teeth I mean.
4-Does martian Telekinesis works similar to avatar the last Airbender? Can they turn earth to lava and water to ice? Can they bend and control fire?
5-you said that Martians healing factor is a bit faster than human but shouldn't shape shifting make their healing factor tremendously stronger than human? We've seen miss martian growing additional arms so I her real arm was served she could easily grow another one and similarly they can heal from any injury almost instantly.
1 Does the light have any other rules besides the rules ultra humanite mentioned to gretchen
2 Since gretchen was a member of the light how was she unaware of its traditions that ultra humanite mentioned
In many retellings of how Jason Todd died, his mom Sheila Haywood often gets left out. Do you know why this is?
I feel like a lot of nuance in Jason's character and murder is lost when Sheila is removed from the narrative. Him dying while trying to save the mom that betrayed him added so much depth and sadness to his character that I feel is lost when she isn't a part of the story.
I'm not asking if she exists on Earth-16 or was there when Joker killed Jason because I know that would probably be a spoiler (though I am curious how YJ will handle Red Hood!) I just want to know if you know the reason Sheila is barely in any adaptions of Jason's murder? Is it just to make the story less complicated?
I just find it frustrating when writers and fans alike blame Jason for his own murder by saying he was too reckless and angry and didn't follow orders when he actually died a hero trying to save someone.
Itâs me again !!
I meant S4E22, sorry
Hey Greg !
I just wanted to say thank you for those wholesome Chalant scenes in S2E22
Which Young Justice credits style do you prefer?
Just music
An animation loop with music
A mini story in the credits with no music
Hey, Greg. My friend A.H. with the screeners just gave me the titles and loglines of the final episodes:
"Ego et Superego"
"Zenith and Abyss"
"Over and Out"
"Death and Rebirth"
And I have some questions..... but the most important one: why aren't these titles unwords though?? What a missed opportunity.
Anyway, just dropping by to brag about my inside knowledge. lol
Invitation to Kneel Before Zod confirmed!!! Wish I had figured it out first. lol thinking is hard!! lol
What is Doctor Fateâs Doctorate even in?
Greg, I have a very important question for you. Did the Metropolis Monarchs, indeed, run away with it in their game against the Gotham Knights? Or did the Knights slaughter the Monarchs?
Dear Greg,
I just started watching âGargoylesâ and Iâm already hooked.
Have you ever considered reviving the show?
I know Iâd like to see it air again.
1) Gretchen Goode's line in "Nightmare Monkeys" about "father and son" going through time and space has always been intriguing. Is Paul Sloane the biological father of Garfield Logan?
2) Regarding designations A-08 and A-09, are these characters that we have seen in the show, or are they characters that we have not seen yet (like A-06 Freddy Freeman)?
3) Wonder Woman seemed very unhappy with Batman in "Agendas" for making young Dick Grayson his sidekick as Robin. But then two years later, Troia (her little sister) joined the Team. Is there more to this apparent change of heart by Diana than what has been revealed so far? (I suppose this will get a NO SPOILERS...)
4) Lt. and Sgt. Marvel seem like odd additions to a covert team (certainly Sgt does anyway, since she's in a costume that isn't exactly subdued or subtle). Not asking for an in-universe explanation for why they joined the Team, but what was the rationale from yourself and Brandon Vietti? The obvious explanation would seem to be that as the Outsiders didn't exist at the time, the covert team was Lt. and Sgt.'s only option. But was this the reason that you both chose to go that route with those characters?
5) Would yourself and Brandon Vietti ever consider a backwards time skip or are you resolute about bringing the show forward in time for now? This is probably going to get another NO SPOILERS response, but what can I say, I'm curious as to what you might say to this.
Hi Greg!
1) Can you please confirm whether Mary Bromfield is a member of the Sentinels of Magic as of "Odyssey of Death!"? She wasn't standing alongside Khalid and Traci. I know that the ending of "Kaerb Ym Traeh!" strongly implied that she was leaving, so just making sure.
2) What made yourself and Brandon Vietti want to do a darker take on Mary Bromfield here? What sort of material influenced you both? I know that there is the Black Mary stuff in the comics around the time of Countdown and Final Crisis, but of course the character has had many more appearances in the comics, so I'm just curious.
3) Was the general idea/arc for season 4 (Superboy being sent to the Phantom Zone) planned by yourself and Brandon Vietti from early in development? I ask because you've said that you originally had a five season plan and that nothing in your plan has changed, so that would suggest that the premise of Phantoms was always part of your plan.
4) You have said that you will only reveal designations when they become fairly obvious and/or defunct. At least, I think that that is what you have said, although I am paraphrasing. With that in mind, are you able to confirm that Wonder Girl now has designation D-02, and that Geo-Force had D-06 and that Cyborg had D-08 (before he joined the Justice League)? We know that Beast Boy is D-01, that Blue Beetle is D-03, KF is D-04, Static is D-05 and El Dorado is D-07, so it seems logical that Cassie would be D-02 (having been a founding member of the Outsiders and longest active superhero of that group's founding unit after Garfield Logan), while Brion would be D-06 (as the "newest superhero" of the group's founding unit) and Vic would be D-08 (since we know from Tod Donner's broadcast in "Overwhelmed" that he joined before Superboy, Forager and Terra).
what type of computer is the Justice League computer? Is it a supercomputer, mainframe, server? what are the specs?
Was the creature that Chameleon Boy (and then Ma'alafa'ak) turns into when Lor-Zod infiltrates Bio-Ship in "Rescue and Search" a Martian creature? I ask because I found it very interesting that Chameleon Boy's version was smaller and greener while Ma'alafa'ak's was larger and grayer.
Whatever happened to Dragon King after he âkilledâ Firebrand in 1945?
Hi greg
I wanted to know more about martian shape shifting so I hope you could answer my questions.
1-does Martians gain abilities of animals or creatures they mimic? I know turning into superman wouldn't give them strength,heat vision, ... but they can gain abilities that are based on physical body. right? If yes does Turing into a dog give them dog's Enhanced sense of smell?
2-i also read somewhere that a martian only changes apereance and would never truly become a dog as beast boy does.They would only be a martian shaped like a dog. How true is that?
3- as you mentioned before Martians can't change mass so if they turn into an elephant (which normally weights above 4 tons) what would happen? Would they become a weak elephant or something?
4-you said that Martians have relatively high mass because of their large natrual Form, so why when Megan was impersonating as a little girl beast boy who was carrying her didn't suspect anything? Couldn't he understand that she is much heavier than she should be?
Sorry for my long questions and thank you for giving us such great show.
1 in the young justice comics we see ultra humanite working with the brain. My question is before ultra humanite became a member of the light was he just an agent for the light as a whole or did he specifically work for the brain?
2 did ultra humanite mentor Helga before or after he became a member of the light?
3 was ultra humanite and Gretchen's quarrel the first time two members of the light had a conflict with each other?
could a human become a anchor for a chaos lord?
when was zor elâs daughter born?
while it's admirable that you and brandon want to increase representation and tackle social issues you need to remember to tell a good story first - people want to be entertained not lectured - addressing social issues in superhero media works best when it's more removed from the real world politics i.e. X-Men being an allegory for the civil rights movement while still managing to be good fun with action, Kamala Khan being muslim and a child of immigrants is part of her character and part of why she feels like an outsider but we're not hearing about islam and being a first generation American every five seconds, her powers also being kinda freakish adds to the narrative, and btw she was created by a white non muslim woman and the comic is critically acclaimed so none of this woe is me i'm being criticized for being white bs please - you're being criticized because it's bad - some of these kids are so starved for representation that they'll heap praise on anything they can get in hopes that they can get more, that doesn't mean it's good...
Can you stop acting like the bad animation we're getting is the industry standard these days? Because we can clearly see that things like Invincible, Arcane, and Ex Machina look just fine, Young Justice is clearly not using its budget wisely, the still images look cheap and take people out of the story, there are frequent cases of characters not talking when they should be because you obviously couldn't afford to pay the voice actor - if you're forced to do this, maybe that's a sign you've got too many characters, as has been pointed out to you countless times? We could get back to the animation quality of the first two seasons if you reduce the cast, stop adding new characters, have a more focused storyline.
You've made it clear that you care about plot and story more than characters and that you don't give a damn about characters getting balanced screen time (your words, not mine, I distinctly remember you saying "balance be damned" on here when people complained during season 2) but are you aware that the majority of people who consume media feel the opposite? We care about characters, characters drive the plot, we get angry when the plot forces characters to make decisions that don't make sense. Star Wars doesn't have the most original plot in the world but it's endured because we love the characters. This show is treating the characters as so disposable plus you keep ignoring everyone who says they want to see more of the season 2 cast because you claim the plot doesn't involve them. You tell people to be patient or say no spoilers when they ask for more info but you have yet to follow through on a lot of characters. It's annoying.
i want to thank you for teaching me an important life lesson. i spent so many years pining for young justice to come back and lamenting its cancelation when i should've just appreciated it for what it was. i had such high expectations for what you guys would've come up with but the revival has been so disappointing that it's soured the entire show for me. i can't even enjoy the older episodes knowing the direction the universe ends up going. i used to hold the diversity in such high-esteem but the crap you guys pulled with halo made me lose all respect i had for you. i should've just let it be and enjoyed the fanfiction that was a thousand times better. lesson learned.
Hello Mr. Weismann, I'm a big Superman fan and love your work on this show. Time is short, so I'll keep it brief.
1. Did Pa and Ma Kent adopt Conner? Was it a formal, legal adoption?
2. Was it public to Smallville? How did they react to Clark finding his little brother, who is 16 or 17 years younger than him?
3. Does Conner have a dual identity, like Clark does, or when he publicly announced himself at the UN summit it was also as Conner?
I really liked your post about Brandon Vietti and Olympia. And she absolutely made the episode for me. Her own voice-over explaining that Vandal Savage prefers not to kill anyone who might still be of use to him rivals Secret emerging from her grave and Soranik Natu's explanation of the Kaizer-Thrall for "most blood-curdling moment in YJ," in my humble opinion.
So I wanted to ask, what are some other cool moments or aspects or reads that other collaborators have brought to the (aired/published) series that made you think, "Wow, this part of YJ would never have been this good without them?" Artists, voice actors, sound people? I get that there's probably not a lot of room for improvisations, though. It's just fun reading about people complimenting the people they work with!
Dear Mr Weisman 1. Is Vandal Savage (the earth 16 version of course) ever content with anything in his life? or does his hunger for more kingdoms to rule (as seen in the 3 long yarns that He and the Phantom Stranger and Nabu all told) Never end? 2. How did Soranik Natu react when she heard the news about Tomar Re and does she get along well with P.F.? ( my nickname for female Forager to avoid confusion) 3. I have skipped Aqualad's arc for personal reasons but have herd of Mera's new role as high Queen of Atlantis however with her other duties to both the Conservatory of Sorcery and helping to care both her and Aquaman's son Artur does she feel overburdened at times ? 4. Did Nika Fluttermen have much trouble with the bug noises for her role as P.F. (aka Purple Forager) ?
Hi there
How did miss martian grew 4 arms in order to help her in combat? As you already mentioned they cannot alter their mass so her muscle mass couldn't have change so how did she grew 4 more arms?
Is it safe to assume her arms were getting weaker as her muscles had to be separated between all of the arms?
I don't have a question I just wanted to say thank you for giving us paraplegic Barbara Gordon in your show even though she's not one of the main characters, Oracle's addtion and her value to the team means a lot. I love her bond with Cassandra as a sister and also her relationship with Dick how it evolved over time even after her accident it's refreshing and nice to see :)
Before Arion did the lords of order choose any other agent to fufill their will on earth?
Why did the chaos lords choose child to replace klarion?
So I've fairly recently watched all of Hill Street Blues. Loved it. And it did really get me thinking a lot about the show, police justice and how Gargoyles was influenced by it.
Firstly, while searching for interviews and info on the series on YouTube, I found an old commercial for HSB which described Frank as "the Man in Charge". It made me laugh because it was so blatantly antithetical to who Frank is.
Frank is not in charge of anything. He's got a boss who is constantly on his case pushes him to keep up appearances all the while torpedoing him at basically every opportunity if it makes his job easier. Two lieutenants, one who wants to revolutionize the police force and change the way the whole city is run (i.e. "the bleeding heart liberal") -- the other a neo-fascist who wants to buy tanks and start wars on the street. (Incidentally I LOVE Howard Hunter, he is *hilarious* and super sympathetic despite this.) He has a girlfriend who is a public defender, so not only are her attitudes and sympathies just deeply anti-cop in pretty much every possible way, it's literally her *job* to oppose him to the best of her ability.
So in my mind, Frank is less the man in charge, and more so the great appeaser or compromiser. He has to balance all these forces in his life, while maintaining his authority and making sure it all doesn't implode in on itself. And he does it very well, largely because he is so extremely compassionate and *not* the "Man in Charge".
Which is largely, especially in the first season, how I think of Goliath. I rewatched the first season not *too* long ago, and one thing that struck me is how much I enjoyed one of Goliath and Elisa's first meetings where they discuss human justice. Something to the effect of Goliath questioning who decides what's just and Elisa tells him "[The people]" and Goliath says "the humans decide" and the conversation is never REALLY followed up on. Goliath's decision to become a modern-day superhero of sorts ends up being more based on just his search for a purpose, and just doing what *feels* right. But I suppose in my head I can pretend that Elisa and Goliath continued to have conversations about modern judicial practices off screen and Goliath liked what he was hearing (or I imagine he WOULD like it).
What interests me, though, is that this is *largely* what HSB is about. Both explicitly and implicitly. There are stories that discuss these issues and sometimes the characters just blatantly talk about them. And what's cool about HSB to me is how *highly* critical it is of the police, primarily as an institution. And how critical it is of the justice system.
This isn't *really* present in Gargoyles as much. The cops in the show are generally extremely fair people, and though there are the occasional token mention of the system being "flawed" this isn't really demonstrated. Which is totally fine, but it is sort of interesting to me.
Incidentally I think that element was somewhat lost after Steven Bochco left the show, and Dennis Franz became a lead. The show was still a great show, but man did it get silly.
Anyway, I don't know if I really came to a cohesive point there but I did wanna share my thoughts on the show and wanted to thank you again for (indirectly) recommending it.
Just a few questions:
1) I know Goliath is based on Frank Furillo but I got the vibe that there was a bit of Howard Hunter in Matt Bluestone? Particularly in the episode Legion, I think the RECAP robot might almost be straight out of that episode where Hunter brought a bomb disposal robot into the precinct.
I think Hudson might have a bit of Robert Prosky's physicality, Morgan a bit of Neal Washington's Zen mentality, Elisa has a bit of Lucy's street smart attitude but that's really about it.
2) Young Justice has those briefing scenes once in a while in it's first season, where Batman will sort of outline what the episode is going to be about. It reminds me a lot of the briefings in HSB. Honestly? I think it's SUPER smart. It's just a great way to outline the A, B and sometimes C plots of an episode without having to have awkward "Here we are at Brad Goodman's self-help seminar" dialogue. Was that perhaps an influence there?
1. Are Dick and Barbara in an open relationship (if they're still in a relationship -- I guess, given Dick's track record)? Or was his and Zatanna's flirting just a bit of fun? Or am I mistaken entirely?
2. Were there any particular comics or books that inspired your take on Dick in Young Justice? I've always loved this version of the character it's probably my favourite. My favourite comic Dick Grayson has been Marv Wolfman's take on him, from what I've read.
3. I'm still pretty disappointed that one of the few gay male characters in the show (let's call him the fourth of his line) isn't allowed to be so explicitly. Am I over-reading into the pat that other circus performer gave Dick on the back or Dick perhaps a bit bicurious?
Mr. Weisman,
My Previous Question: In the aftermath of "Dark Nights: Death Metal ," has the Young Justice animated universe been officially designated as Earth-16 again in the DC Multiverse, or is Earth-16 still that version that was seen in "The Multiversity: The Just?"
Your Response to My Question: No idea. I just know we're Earth-16 in the Earth-16 Universe.
My Response to Your Response: I find that very odd that you and DC Comics apparently do NOT communicate with each other when it comes to multiverse-related stuff and the changes that occur to the multiverse as a result of the aftermaths of major DC Comics events (like Flashpoint and Dark Nights: Death Metal, for example). I mean, communication between both sides IS important after all; otherwise, won't things end up becoming very confusing...? This was the reason why I had previously asked you before if DC Comics has officially re-designated the Young Justice animated universe as Earth-16; because I know you've put a lot of hard work into creating this version of the DC Universe, and it is far better than the version of Earth-16 seen in "The Multiversity: The Just," which only acknowledges Young Justice as a mere video game series.
So I had a couple of questions, did my best to skim the archives to make sure they weren't repeats, but there are 1460+ questions at this moment in time so this probably won't get through until 2025 or so. (As such, I will manifest it by saying: "congratulations on a fantastic season 5 of Young Justice!" and hopefully not jinx it)
I've TRIED to word these vaguely enough that I'm not just flat out asking you for spoilers, but... best laid plans and all that.
1) So we know Green Lantern: The Animated Series is "Canon adjacent". I assume what that means is that anything that doesn't directly contradict stuff that's happened in the Young Justice television series or any of the official tie-in media (Legacy, the Comic) happened. Or very, very similar things happen.
I'm sure you've mostly just left things ambiguous enough that you can really change your mind as the situation arises
and not trap yourself into say... the Star Sapphire-Carol lore that GL:TAS used if you want to take that in another direction.
But as it is, anything to do with Razer, Hal, Aya and Kilowog on the ship (i.e. largely the battle with the Red Lantern Corps, and then the Manhunters that followed happened) is all we know for sure happened and the only thing that definitively *did not* happen, is the stuff involving Guy Gardner and John Stewart since we know their origins already in YJ. It helps that Hal Jordan has basically only had a few cameos in Young Justice, so our imaginations can really put him wherever.
Am I on the right track there?
I'm gonna be a little bold, and these questions could be answered by the 4 remaining episodes in season 4 (asking this after the first "Nightwing episode" aired) but eh.
2) Was Sinestro a Green Lantern in team year 5?
3) When would the Red Lantern Corps invasion and Manhunter battles have taken place in relation to the events of Team Year 5? Roughly.
4) Were the Justice League and the Team aware of these events or were they so far removed from Earth that they only found out about them after the fact (if at all)?
5) Has the YJ version of Carol had a run-in with the Star Sapphires?
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, Alfred's full name is Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth. As such, is this also true in the Earth-16 universe?
How well known was Guardian before joining Cadmus?
Why did Guardian bow to Dr. Desmond?
Mr. Weisman,
In the current continuity of DC Comics (Prime Earth), the family members of Lucius fox are as follows:
Tanya Fox (wife)
Tamara "Tam" Fox (oldest daughter and 2nd child)
Tiffany "Tiff" Fox (youngest daughter and 4th child)
Lucas "Luke" Fox (youngest son and 3rd child)
Timothy "Jace" Fox (oldest son and 1st child)
Darcy Fox (niece)
As such, do these family members also exist in the Earth-16 universe and, if so, what are their current ages?
Who attended Lois and Clark's wedding?
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 version of Jonathan Samuel Kent had a Kryptonian name, would he be identified as Jon-El?
Hello Mr Greg,
I just wanted to say I really like Young Justice and think it is very cool. However, I do have one question/request. Whenever someone asks a question that is a spoiler you say "No Spoilers". However, I feel that this doesn't really roll off the tongue and it's acronym, NS, leaves something to be desired. Hence, I suggest using "Watch And Find Out" instead. It is a very cool phrase and its acronym, WAFO, sounds even cooler. Therefore it must be superior to "No Spoilers". Thank you
-TKM
Why did Garfield want to rejoin the outsiders but not want to restart his relationship with Perdita by the time Garfield went to get council season within black canary in young justice season 4?
Mr. Weisman,
Is it true that Supergirl and the Wonder Twins (Zan and Jayna) were considered to appear in Young Justice: Outsiders (a.k.a. Young Justice Season 3) before being scrapped due to a lack of relevancy within the plot?
I wanna thank you for offering us the best version of Nightwing ! It's a true pleasure for the DC fans because he's always getting nerfed in new DC animated movies, but he's actually the only Robin who is better than Batman at one skill.
Because Dick is an acrobat, Jason a fighter, and Tim a detective, but only Dick is a better acrobat than Batman.
And he can fight Batman too, btw, and even defeat him. And you just showed he's an impressive detective.
He's just the most incredible Robin ever.
Just a question : you've made him like in the comics, smart and strong and so many other character development qualities (and thank you so much for that), but if he is so smart, why is he trying to kick adversaries like Lobo or Klarion with mere sticks ? That's a bit ridiculous.
One scene I really liked is when he fought against Tommy Terror and used his skills to counter super-strength.
Genius idea !
So thank you so much for that Nightwing version !
And sorry, english is not my language.
Mr. Weisman,
In the Syfy TV series, "Krypton," Dru-Zod was depicted as the son of Seg-El and Lyta-Zod; thus making him the younger half-brother of Jor-El. As such, was the change to the Earth-16 version of Dru-Zod made to reflect this as well? If not, what was the real reason?
Mr. Weisman,
If the Earth-16 version of Krypto the Superdog ever makes an appearance, would he look like Labrador retriever or a wolf?

I don't really understand why you and Brandon decided to alter the naming customs for Krypton. You have stated that Kal-El's mother is Lara El (rather than the comics-appropriate Lara Lor-Van) and Ursa has been fully named Ursa Zod. In the comics, the last name for Kryptonian females is the father's full name and did not change even when married, and while it's not the most progressive or anything, it was still a neat way to differentiate Krypton customs from Earth's. And I know that you've thought about things like this because I distinctly remember you answering in an Ask about why you guys changed Hawkwoman's name to Shayera Thal and not Shayera Hol since she was married to Katar Hol, with you answering that Earth customs are not the same as Thanagarian customs. Given that, it just makes it all the more perplexing why you guys chose to backpedal the progress that was already comics-canon and make it less so.
Mr. Weisman,
Have you ever watched the cartoon series, "Justice League Action"? In episode 48 of that series titled "Barehanded," it seems that an amnesiac Aya exists in that universe as Space Cabbie's GPS. At the end of that episode she realizes that universe's Green Lantern is somehow familiar to her and leaves to search for "someone" (presumably Razer). Would this episode somehow potentially affect Earth-16's Razer's continuing storyline in a future season of Young Justice?
hey this isn't really a question just like,,,,, man EVERYTHING in season 4 has been pretty top-tier in every way (i keep changing my mind abt which arc is my favorite so far...it used to be Artemis's but now maybe rocket's????) but i feel like the fight scenes ESPECIALLY are remarkable this season--I'm thinking about that in-the-dark fight in artemis's arc, the final battle in raquel's arc, and the fight in the tower in the first ep of dick's arc which came out today. they were all so dynamic and exciting. huge props to you guys (especially the storyboarders, i guess? don't know a ton about animation). y'all just keep topping yourselves, it's the best. can't wait for the rest of the season! (and hopefully many more!!!)
Mr. Weisman,
Before Superboy revealed that Krypton was destroyed by its red sun, General Dru-Zod had assumed that Krypton's destruction was a result of an invasion by either New Genesis, the Daxamites, or the Green Lantern Corps. For each of those three, why did Zod thought they would invade Krypton?
Mr. Weisman,
If you eventually reveal the Earth-16 version of Mon-El, would he be depicted as...
A. A present-day Daxamite named Lar Gand? This is assuming he is based on the Pre-Zero Hour version.
OR...
B. A 31st century descendant of the House of El named Mon-El; a human/Kryptonian hybrid born on New Krypton (also known as Jekuul; a planet residing in Sector 2811)? This is assuming he is based on the post-Rebirth version.
If it is the latter, refer to this link for the list of his relatives; which shows he is a descendant of the House of El AND the House of Zod.

I hope this was helpful.
Two quick questions:
1. You've mentioned in the past that Zatara is aging quicker because wearing the Helmet of Fate took a toll on him. Yet on the flip side, Kent Nelson seemed remarkably well preserved at 106 years old. I know he only wore the helmet for ~5 years (versus 10 for Zatara), but is there an in-story reason? Or just lucky genetics for Kent?
2. Jay Garrick's powers seem to slow his aging. Chronologically he celebrates his 102nd birthday in Season 4, but about how old is he biologically?
Mr. Weisman,
In "Rescue and Search," Ursa made an indirect mentioning of Zor-El's daughter, Kara Zor-El. Now, I am hoping above all hope that this mentioning is not some mere coincidence, and that that this means that Supergirl will eventually make her Earth-16 debut.
If this ends up being true, I will like to admit to you that the one of the things that I personally hope you will explore with your version of Supergirl is her relationship with her "cousin" Superboy. When the Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl first appeared in the comics, one of my FAVORITE moments was when she had her first encounter with Superboy in Smallville. At the time when this encounter took place, Superboy was in a pretty bad place and wanted Supergirl to leave him alone. It resulted in a short fight in which Supergirl was forced to punch Superboy in the face and temporarily broke his jaw on accident. Supergirl then fixed it shortly afterwards; allowing Superboy to calm down and resolving the misunderstanding between them. However, before the two have a chance to start over, some of the Teen Titans attack Supergirl due to misinterpreting the situation. When Supergirl tries to leave, Superboy immediately came to her defense; stating that his fellow Titans should leave and that his "cousin" didn't have to leave. The jaw-breaking incident was later referenced during the crossover event, "Superman: Last Stand on New Krypton," during which there was a moment in which Supergirl misinterpreted a situation when she sees what appears to be Superboy holding her mother (Alura In-Ze) by the throat and preparing to punch her, and Kara punches him away despite him trying to tell Kara that the situation was NOT what it seem to look like. Fortunately, Superboy managed to save Kara and her mother from being killed by Brainiac's robots not long after, and soon after, Superboy remarked that Kara still had a mean right hook; even though Kara mentioned that she pulled her punch a little; making it nice callback to their first encounter.
I'm hoping that the Earth-16 version of the "cousin" relationship between Superboy and Supergirl will be similar to that seen in the pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (New Earth). I do NOT like the post-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (Prime Earth) interpretation of the first encounter between Superboy and Supergirl because the latter was hostile to the former upon learning he was a clone and, because there was a bad history on Krypton involving clones, she called him "Kon-El" because in The New 52, the name meant "abomination of the House of El."
I have 5 questions to ask.
1) During the events of the episode "Rescue and Search" why didn't Nightwing and Zatanna tell Megan Morse/Miss Martian that Conner is still alive, but is trapped in a Dimension called the Phantom Zone and about how they plan on rescuing him?
2) How come Nightwing, Zatanna, and the others didn't try calling any of the available members of the Team and/or Outsiders for help in their quest to save Conner?
3) Who is currently Nabu's host during the events of "Rescue and Search"?
4) How come Nightwing and Tigress never thought of asking Hawkman and Hawkwoman for some kind of Nth Metal weapons? You know since it's capable of harming magical beings.
5) If Laâgaan knew that Conner is still alive would he be happy and use his chance to make amends with him?

Does Nightwing have some kind of Winged Jetpack (Example: Something similar to the EXO-7 Falcon) and uses it only on occasion not repeatedly? Because it would be pretty cool if he did have his own Winged Jetpack.
https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/EXO-7_Falcon
I thought of asking this after remembering and rewatching an episode of The Batman (2004-08) called "The Big Heat" in which Batman used some kind of Batwinged Jetpack to fight against Firefly.
Hello Mr.Weisman
1-could Martians density shift without changing their volume?
And if altering density is not possible without changing volume then how Martians turn intangible without increasing volume?
2-about the creature both Chameleon Boy and m'comm used, how does Shape shifting into that creature help them? They can't change masss so shape shifting into a bigger creature only causes density decrease which is not useful in a fight that super strength is required.
Hello, Me again! I am back with a few questions about the newest episode "Rescue and Search!"
1) The Creature that both Chameleon Boy and Ma'alefa'ak turned into, I'm going to take a wild guess that it's a type of Alien Animal, right?
2) If so what would this Animals name be?
3) Is it indigenous to Mars?
4) Would Beast Boy Shapeshift into that creature?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. How old is Soranik Natu and how long has she been a Green lantern? 2. Is Zatanna a Gotham Knights (baseball team) fan and has she ever worn a baseball cap to any of there games? 3. Are there any baseball teams Artemis is a fan of ?
Does every chaos lord wear a suit when they take on a mortal form?
Did Cyborg move out of the Premiere Building? If so, does he now live on the Watchtower, since he joined the Justice League? (I'm only asking cause in your reply to who's living at the Premiere Building by season 4, he wasn't mentioned)
Hi Greg!!
Do you have any plan to make Nightwing's escrima stick electrified? In the comic and game, it looks cool and great when he use it to battle. Hope we can see the YJ version of it :)
Alright, just got done watching Catwoman: Hunted, fun movie, I was really excited when Cheshire showed up and had so much in common with her Young Justice version.
Anyway, my question is, when does the series of events depicted in this movie (Or the version of this series of events) take place on Earth-16?
Mr. Weisman,
My Previous Question: In "Odnu!" we see the Earth-16 debut of the Phantom Stranger. Now, despite the ethnicity change (from Caucasian to African-American), is his real name identified as Judas Iscariot; like his New 52 counterpart (as indicated in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End #1")?
Your Response to My Question: I haven't read that - or any Pre-Rebirth New 52 comics. (That's not a comment on their quality. I just wasn't reading comics during that era and didn't hop back on again until Rebirth.) So if PS is JI, it's news to me. Not saying no. Just haven't thought about it at all to see if it fits with what I do know about the Earth-16 version of PS.
My Response to Your Response: The reason I had suspected that the Earth-16 version of the Phantom Stranger was likely based on the post-Flashpoint (Prime Earth) version of the character from the comics is because he is clearly branded with the 30 silver pieces on his attire; the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) version of the character does NOT have them. In post-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity, his origin was revealed in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger" Issue #0, but at the time, his identity as Judas Iscariot was implied, but NOT confirmed. His true identity as Judas Iscariot was officially confirmed during his narration in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End" Issue #1. At some point in his long life, he went by the name of Phillip Stark and had a wife (Elena Stark), a daughter (Allie Stark), and a son (Tim Stark); but unfortunately they are all deceased. It is also implied in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End" Issue #1 by Elena Stark that she and the Phantom Stranger have known each other for countless lifetimes LONG BEFORE she was Elena, although what that means is unclear and was never answered in the comics.
Was this helpful to you, or do you think that you might have to do some research on the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) and post-Flashpoint versions of the Phantom Stranger in order to create a new history for the Earth-16 version of the character?
I just want to confirm something. After Conner "died" at the start of season 4, everyone assumes he went to live on the Kent farm. I just figured he was visiting cause it's seems tradition that all the Kents and pets included go to visit. In short did Wolf really move in with Jonathan and Martha Kent after Conner died or was he just visiting?
This may surprise you, but I have question about how time travel works
First let me preface this by saying that I agree with your preferred method of doing time travel as closed loops. Nothing changes the past because it was part of the past. Avalon Part 2 has always been a favorite episode of mine because I always loved how cleanly you explained the two Archmages working in a loop together. But I also understand that DC comics as a whole doesn't work the same way. Some of DC's most iconic stories revolve around time travel, so we have to get messy and roll with it.
1. When Mantis (who is now the MVP of S4) set the Time Sphere back one day to get the Phantom Projector, he created a closed loop of time travel. He didn't alter the past in anyway that prevents his future self from doing the same thing when he arrives later. Basically, Zod's team can't find the PZ projector because it's already been taken into the past by Mantis. So closed loops are possible on Earth-16, but they aren't necessarily guaranteed and require some skill to pull off?
2. Now we get messy. In 2020, Child kills Teekl and de-corporealizes Klarion. Klarion then travels back to 2010 and hijacks the school bus. He then bounces around time for a while until he arrives back in 2020. After Child's defeat, the bus is sent back. So, this would also be a closed loop? The problem here though is that the timeline was altered several times after Team Year Zero. E.g Bart arrives in 2015 and alters history by preventing the Reach Apocalypse and so does Lor-Zod. But this means events would play out differently than the original timelines. Which means Child may not have killed Klarion in Bart's timeline. Not to mention someone else could alter history again and maybe prevent Klarion's death from ever happening in 2020. Yet from what we see, the school bus thing was always Klarion. I guess I want to understand how this could a closed loop of time travel like in Gargoyles, when history is also subject to change in Young Justice?
3. I like the Chronotron radiation rule. Basically, if someone is dosed in this radiation, they are immune, or in future Neutronâs case, semi-immune to changes in the timeline. So this may be a spoiler question since it involves a hypothetical scenario, but it is based off what weâve seen already. Let's say someone time travels back to Team Year Zero and mucks up history, resulting in a new timeline. What would happen to Bart, Lod-Zod, the Legionnaires and I guess Mantis and M'comm, who have all been exposed to Chronotron radiation? If it makes them immune to changes in timelines, then it stands to reason they would be unaffected if someone else alters history even further back. We know that Bart's timeline is gone, but so far, he has stuck around, and the Legionnaires survived Lor-Zod's changes because of the radiation. So, does the radiation make you time-proof forever or do you just need to be in proximity to this radiation and have a strong enough dosage when the timeline is about to be alerted?
4. When speaking to the Legionaries, Superman asked why they don't use their time sphere to go back and try to save Superboy. I get that Superman may not know the rules of how it works, but this brings me to another hypothetical scenario. Let's say, after Lor-Zod's first failed attempt to kill Superboy at the UN, he decides to just go back in time earlier and try again rather than wait for another chance. So, if he went back, like say a week, knowing where Superboy was and killing him, that would change history. So, what would happen to the Lor-Zod who would show up the UN a week later? Since Past-Lor-Zod has Chronotron radiation, he is immune to changes in history. Would that include ones made by his own future self, going further back into the past? Similarly, let's say the Legionnaires did go back to save Superboy on Mars, they would run into their past selves, who like them are immune to changes in history due to Chronotron radiation. So, would the duplicates stick around or be erased from the timeline?
5. I'm a bit confused by Chameleon Boy expecting there to be changes after talking to Superman. He initially thinks they failed to reset the timeline, but then Saturn Girl brings up their exposure to Chronotron radiation making them immune to changes. I mean Bart resetting the timeline didn't make him disappear or send him back to his future so why was Chameleon Boy expecting something to happen? Am I missing something in this exchange or was it just a case of Chameleon Boy being optimistic?
When Wally appeared to Conner in the Phantom Zone, he looked like a phantom as well. Was this an animation error?
Mr. Weisman,
Just so I can understand, Vandar Adg is Vandal Savage's real name in the comics, but this is NOT true in the Earth-16 universe, correct? As such, what is his real name in the Earth-16 universe?
Has Flash met Guy before? Is that why he was so supportive of him in Agendas? (That double "no" was hilarious, by the way)
I know you don't like to reveal designations here, but since we know the time some members (Batwoman, Hardware, Fire, Ice, Katana, Elongated Man, Blue Devil, & Magog) joined the League and we can assume they belong to Designations 28-35, would you mind saying who has which? If not, I understand. Thanks.
Don't you think it's the silliest idea ever to call Captain Marvel "Shazam" ? The guy can't even introduce himself ! He can't say his own name without transforming ! There was one name in the entire universe that he couldn't have and precisely he got it !
Illogical and stupid, right ?
Sorry, Mr. Weisman -- I should correct myself know and say that the more recent response from you that I just alluded to was on May 9th, 2022! So EIGHT years passed between you answering those two questions! Still, I hope you may remember.
In a response dated Sept 16th, 2014, you said that you had an in-universe explanation for Troia and Mary being absent from the bridal shower in "Satisfaction".
Your response was: "Yes. (Both excuses are a bit feeble, to be honest.) But I can't reveal why each didn't attend without revealing SPOILERS about their stories, so..."
When I asked you just recently if you could reveal the in-universe explanation for Mary's absence, you responded on May 9th, 2021, with "Maybe. If I had one."
I'm sure you've just forgotten the reason for absence, since it's been 7 years since these two questions were read by you! A lot of time has passed. Nevertheless, since you once knew the answer to the question of why she was absent in-universe, is this something you could find out or remind yourself of? Maybe you have notes somewhere, or it's on the timeline, or it's a discussion that you have had with Brandon Vietti? I just thought I'd bring up that you did know the answer to this once, and I'm trying to jog your memory.
1 Was there any noticible reaction from the league of shadows when al ghul left and was replaced by deathstroke?
2 how do the other league of Shadow members beside deathstroke abd lady Shiva view their partnership with the light?
1 This isnât a criticism, but Why did you decide to make lor-zod black?
2 Did tomar re know the zods before they were imprisoned?
1) If a lord a chaos like Klarion can instinctively know that Superboy is in the phantom zone and go INTO the phantom zone to try to reach him, why can't a lord of order like Dr Fate do the same and be aware that Conner is alive ?
2) Same question for Phantom Stranger, who is almost omniscient and can enter nearly everywhere, including Fate's helmet.
3) If G lantern Forager went to die, would her ring's aura tell to the next GL the oath "forager's way" ? Like 'speak after me : beware Forager's power..." and the poor guy is gonna say a wrong oath because Forager can't speak at the first person ^^
Not sure you see what I mean here but I find it to be a funny situation.
4) It appears Lor-Zod doesn't know the name Savage. Does that mean that Vandal failed in conquering the galaxy in the future ?
5) Just saying, after seeing Rocket's arc, it's criminal that the show isn't renewed already. This is a masterpiece, and I think I can tell you guys have done the best superhero show ever with the Bruce Timm's Justice League. You've taken over what I thought could never be equaled.
Thank you for your amazing work, hope you'll be able to do season 5. To think you couldn't because no one renewed it...
Hurts deeply.
Why did Fox and/or Xanatos invite Dr. Sato to the Halloween party? That would not have been by accident.
In Young Justice, how did Lex Luthor react to Superboy's death? Does he really consider Superboy his son, or does he just call him "son" to irritate him?
When and why did Billy (in universe) start going by Shazam instead of Captain Marvel?
In Young Justice, where is Cyborg's mother? What happened to her?
Mr. Weisman,
Are there any characters in the Earth-16 universe who are aware of the multiverse/multi-multiverse/omniverse?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the children of M'aatt M'orzz and J'ann M'orzz, what is the chronological order from oldest to youngest child?
1. When Beast Boy is in animal form and somehow becomes unconscious, like passing out through inhaling gas or through a big hit on the head, would Garfield stay in the current animal form until he wakes up, or would he unconsciously change to another form?
2. If he unconsciously changes while he is unconscious, would he change to his preferred form (his human-monkey form in season 2, his human form in season 3-4) or his human form?
I got a question about making the green lantern TAS canon adjacent to young justice.
In the past, you and Brandon consiousoh avoided to be compared to other DC cartoons. Hence the reason you said you avoided casting people that had played the same roles before. Say you wouldnât have casted Kevin Conroy as Batman.
You guys even had Beast Boysâs voice actor be the same as Teen Titans only because your original choice was not available anymore.
Soâ¦what made you change your mind and add a whole entire continuity, that being Green lancer TAS and make it canon adjacent to young justice?
How old was Orphan when she was sent to kill Joker?
Who do you think is more villainous?

@Greg_Weisman
1.What is up with the one shot in scene Cheshire fights Red arrow and spinkicks him and flips back? because wow it really got on tv lol. Also People keep asking are they ever going to do a shot or scene like that again
2.its cool the animation is mostly the same as s1 and even oh teen Titans was that intentional or just it looks cool. Also how many seasons do you think will happen? Sorry for the long question
Mr. Weisman,
If the relationship between Beast Boy and Perdita somehow ends up being confirmed as officially over (whether by the end of Season 4 or the "Young Justice: Targets" comics) even if Beast Boy's mental health improves, does that mean that Terra will end up becoming Beast Boy's new love interest?
Just some questions regarding the kryotonian prisioners.
1.-Metron was worried they could endanger the galaxy, and Darkseid seemed to agree as he offered Lor-Zid same "winner takes all" deal he offered to Savage
But isn't that an overeaction? Sure thet would all have the powers of Superman and that makes them formidable. But your version of Superman is explicitly made much less powerful than most interpretations.
Simply put it seems like they would have zero chance agains the magic characters like Dr fate from the league, or Klarion as they are all vulnerable to magic, let alone the full justice league.
Dr fate alone could just use a portal and take them to space they couldnt breathe, like space.
Icon, Superman, and Savage could also match some of them and so on
And potentially the villains ,like Black adam or the light wouldn't be to kin on being ruled by them.
Child seems to be the bigger threat desoie her only being the mid season villain.
2.- I know power varies wildly between individuals. But, judging by the fight between Orion and Lor-Zod, is it safe to assume that new gods, and powered krypotnians are in the same ballpark regarding strenght and durability?
3.- If not, which race is stronger and more durable on average?
Mr. Weisman,
Is the following quote from the comics also true in the Earth-16 universe in regards to the death of the Old Gods and the rise of the New Gods?
"There came a time when the Old Gods died! The brave died with the cunning! The noble perished, locked in battle with the unleashed evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust! The final moment came with the fatal release of the indescribable power â" which tore the home of the Old Gods asunder â" split it in great halves â" and filled the universe with the blinding death-flash of its destruction! In the end there were two giant molten bodies, spinning slow and barren â" clean of all that had gone before â" adrift in the fading sounds of cosmic thunder... Silence closed upon what had happened â" a long, deep silence â" wrapped in massive darkness... it was this way for an age... THENâ"THERE WAS NEW LIGHT!"
In the universe of HBOâs Veep, the history of the US presidency diverges from ours after the Reagan administration. Have you mapped out and can you share when the history of Earth-16âs UN Secretaries-General diverges from ours? Were there any fictional Secretaries-General before Tseng Dangun, Lex Luthor and Troia?
1) The alliance between the Justice League, Green Lanterns, and New Genesis... was that what Klarion referred to as the "opposition's new arrangements"?
2) What are the terms of the treaty? I'm guessing that New Genesis will still not directly fight Apokolips because of their PACT with Darkseid?
Yo, Greg, how about we do another AMA on my Sub? I mean, shiiiiit, all I've been getting lately is posts from people complaining about how the show sucks because its woke shit, and I'm tired!! That's not the attention I was hoping for when I let in my house! I thought the Sub would get like 50x subscribers, but booking you wasn't as impressive as I thought it would. Quite UNDERWHELMING, really. My followers also didn't celebrate me as hard or for as long as I imagined neither..... Being this the last season of the show, my precious Sub will dry up more than AH's snatch (lol).
Come on, homie, throw me a bone here. Also, would you consider joining my awesome Discord channel?? Between our attention seeking virgins and mentally disabled retards, your dick would be sore from so much sucking lol. I promise I'll ban anyone who doesn't bend over!
Hi Greg
a few questions then a thank you.
1) I read that Batman became Batman at the age of 21. Crazy young compared to other iterations of the character. What did his training look like before he became Batman? And was any of that training by Alfred?
2) How do you rate the combat prowess of Earth-16's Batman?
3) I absolutely loved your Nightwing & Roy vs Brick fight in S3. I always love seeing trained humans fighting metahumans.
How strong a metahuman can a well-trained human with standard vigilante gear defeat without relying on insta-win gadgets like red sun batons or kryptonite rings?
4)Would Nightwing have beaten Tommy Terror in a 1v1 if he wasn't focused on getting those kids out?
I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for bringing attention to minority groups that never get attention in mainstream media.
Not just having a cameo of the week to "celebrate our differences", but actually making these people main characters.
As a kid the only faces of heroes I've seen were white. Guys who looked like me were often racist caricatures with thick accents like Leslie Chow or emasculated nerdy losers.
Even the "heroes" like Jackie Chan or Jet Li were considered others, not a real American. For the longest time, I didn't think of being an Asian-American male as something to be proud of.
Even though I was born and raised in the states, it was pretty clear that there were many who considered me a perpetual foreigner.
And I know I'm not the only ethnicity that's experienced this. A lot of us are "Outsiders" if you will.
It really means a lot to know that it's not just white faces that get to be heroes.
So thank you for bringing non-traditional faces to the screen.
How many Teekls has Klarion been through?
Why did Nightwing at the beginning of Season 3 not want anyone to know that he was talking to Oracle?
At what point did other members of the Team (like Artemis as seen in Season 4) start talking to her?
I'm sorry in advance.
I was looking through the archives for gargoyle heights and came across some questions pertaining to human/gargoyle err, intimacy issues with incompatible equipment, which led to this.
If say, Goliath and Elisa received a magical talisman or something that allowed the wearer to match their partner's form (Goliath becomes a human or Elisa becomes a gargoyle) and it's all systems go. The lights are dimmed. The Berry White is playing. Even considering they will have nigh-endless encounters of a similar nature in the future, who changes their form FIRST? And do they volunteer or have to be talked into it?
Mr. Weisman,
The little glowing green eye that Lor-Zod seemed to recognize and then grabbed is the Emerald Eye of Ekron, correct? I could've sworn that it was a lot bigger in the comics...
In the latest arc of Young Justice, there is a subplot about Rocket learning to understand her son's autism through her interactions with Orion. I personally was very disappointed with the way that this arc resolved, and it just seemed to fall into the basic "overcoming narrative" tropes that have been so harmful to the disabled community (especially autistic folk) in the past. The arc also largely focused on everyone else's perceptions of the neurodiverse characters without giving much voice to Orion or Amistad to talk about their own experiences.
I'm wondering if you had anyone who was autistic or at least a disabilities activist working on/reviewing these episodes? If not, would you consider hiring someone to work on future stories that touch on these subjects?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, what was Ursa's original Kryptonian surname before she became the life-mate of Zod?
Mr. Weisman,
Just so I can understand correctly, Dru-Zod and the rest of the Phantom Zone prisoners are from the present time, and they wouldn't know who the future Lor-Zod is even though Ursa would still be (presumably) one month pregnant with him right now. As such, should we assume that the future Lor-Zod will end up getting killed by his own father (presumably as a result of some kind of misunderstanding) and the present Lor-Zod will grow up to be a good guy instead...?
Dear Mr Wiesman 1. Did you plan For Pf ( My nickname for Female Forager aka Purple Forager to avoid confusion) to become a Green Lantern from the start or did the idea come up later? 2. How long has Isis (the heroine not the Deity) known Zatanna, Madame Xanadu Zatara and the rest of there friends? 3 How did Joker find out from Poison Ivy that He and the rest of the injustice league where being used as Puppets ? 4 Did Tomar Re ever blame himself for what happened to krypton and the El Brothers?
George Eads voiced Flash in everything minus the finale and since Outsiders it has become clear James Arnold Taylor would now be his main VA.
Ariel Winter voiced Perdita in her first episode and the DC Showcase: Green Arrow short u wrote but is now recasted to Hynden Walch. I wanted to ask why these permanet recasts happened?
1 Orm recieved training under wotan in sorcery. How well did orm do in his magic training in wotanâs opinion?
2 did orm recieve training from just wotan or did the light also hire a few other sorcerers to help orm with his training?
Mr. Weisman,
1. Is Vandal Savage the paternal or maternal grandfather of Arion?
2. What is the exact year that Vandal Savage (as Temujin/Genghis Khan) first encountered Darkseid?
Is "Mantis" a job/role in the hive, or is it a proper name? If it is the latter, why is that Mantis is the only bug with a name?
Mr. Weisman,
The Earth-16 version of Superboy does not have access to all of Superman's powers apparently because of his half-human, half-Kryptonian DNA. However, if Superboy ends up in a position where he is in a critical condition that requires him to get a blood transfusion from Superman, would he be able to gain access to all of Superman's powers as a result? The reason I am asking this question is because I am aware that red shields only provided a temporary solution in Season 1, but caused him to be more aggressive with each use. As such, I have been wondering if there was a possible solution that is permanent but does not cause him to become aggressive?
Mr. Weisman,
If Young Justice gets a fifth season, will we see any elements (costumes, storylines, etc.) incorporated from Infinite Frontier, Future State, Milestone Returns, and perhaps even The Wild Storm?
Is there a chance that Kyle rayner is the 4th green lantern mentioned by Orin in the Atlantis arc?( great job this season by the way itâs been amazing)
1 The lord of chaos and order are aware of darkseid. Is darkseid aware of the lord of order and chaos?
2 If he is aware what does he think of these elemental entities. Does he consider them a threat?
Is the Mobius Dimension the same dimension Metron took Halo and Cyborg to back in "Overwhelmed"?
Mr. Weisman,
Which individuals in the Kent family tree (as seen in the link provided below) also exist in the Earth-16 universe?
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Kent_Family
Mr. Weisman,
If Lian Nguyen-Harper somehow manages to survive past the age of five (which was when she tragically died in pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity in 2009), will she eventually become the Red Hood (like her Earth-22 counterpart; an archer like her father, Red Arrow), or will she become the Cheshire Cat (like her Prime Earth counterpart; since she is revealed to be alive in the Infinite Frontier era)?

If 'How old' is more applicable than 'What year' here, would you be willing to answer that instead with this set of questions?
Hi Greg !
I've pretty surprised to hear in YJ the pronoun "they" to describe someone instead of him or her. I mean, why you, especially you, a writer, would you support the destruction of the language ?
Or maybe you think this is an actual progress, and in that case, I'm deeply worried about what you're gonna do next.
This could be the perfect show, if it wasn't for this silly woke ideology who comes and ruins everything, like a virus spreading inside a healthy body.
All right, maybe not the best metaphor here, but you got the point.
Just... WHY did you have to turn woke ? I find this to be an abomination and that has ruined a part of the show for me.
I mean, sure, you can be inclusive for those communities, but why this much ? It's like it's you're number one priority, and it's scary. We don't have a single episode with some woke allusions, and I'm really tired of it at this point.
I know that you moderators will be eager to delete this, so here's a message for you :
Before you do that, consider that this question, as unpleasant or offending (not my intend, really) as it might be, represents a lot of people who don't talk about this, but who nonetheless think the same way.
I think constructive criticism must be allowed, even if you find it personally unpleasant.
People have the right to be against woke ideology, as much as those who are supporting it.
If we hear only from one point of view, that's not fair, right ?
I'd just like to hear Greg's thoughts about that. That's an important subject that I think should not be putted aside, even if it's from the opposite opinion.
Thank you.
1. I just started watching the show and I am enjoying it quite a lot, so I know it's been a long time since you wrote the episode Denial but in this episode there is a line "Oh, no. Not me. I'm just an old coot/coat Fate used to put on." when I watched this on Netflix the subtitles said coat and I really like this line but on IMDb in the quotes section it says coot. I know it seems like a trivial question but if possible do check and let me know if you remember what you wrote granted it was 10 long years.
2. Also my friend who is caught up with the show told me to watch GLTAS since it's a somewhat shared world(not quite sure what he meant by this,said the same thing for Green Arrow Showcase the same shared world thing about that too and to watch it after s1 ep 20. and Catwoman Hunted after season 3) and said I can just watch it along with season 2 of young justice alternating between the two shows Or after season 2 and before season 3. What order would you recommend for watching GLTAS.
So about the quotation "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." You said "The quotation IS in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, but I didn't realize that it didn't originate there" so what chapter in I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou is this quote on I couldn't find it, do you happen to have a citation for this or the page number cause I can't find it.

Have a good day Mr. Weisman.
Firstly I would like to say that I love your work and fingers crossed for continuing with Young Justice, Gargoyles or any project you wish to work on. The second thing is that English is not my native language and I am sorry for mistakes.
I gather so many questions over the years and I hope I am not asking for spoilers because the "No spoilers" was one of many things what sell your shows to me.
1. Are there any male New Genesphers or bioships?
2. In episode "Failsafe" we can see Alfred, Barbara and Betty together. Was it something (teoreticly) Dick ask him to do?
(I overthought this one too many times)
3. What do you think, is Violet trixic, toric or bisexual (umbrela term)?
(Well, I do not think they were thinking about this)
Thank you for your time, representation, amazing shows, my hobby (drawing but that is credit for Phil Bourassa) and my favorite number (16!).
Please, exuse me for mistakes or if any of these questions was asked before, I did not find it.
1. You have made it clear that your answers on this site are not officially canon and sometimes used the term "canon-in-training" to describe them. You have also recently revealed that some non-YJ projects are "canon-adjacent" to Earth-16. In cases where canon-adjacent lore and canon-in-training lore do not match up, what is the hierarchy here? I understand these situations will likely be decided on a case-by-case basis, but generally which should we defer to?
2. More specifically, some Green Lantern lore from the now canon-adjacent GL:TAS contradicts answers you've given here over the years. For example, you've said that on Earth-16 two GLs are appointed to each Space Sector and you've talked about Guy Gardner being in a coma when John Stewart debuted as a hero. I presume these answers (from 2012 and 2013) were given long before it was decided to import some continuity from GL:TAS. Therefore I would like to ask if these notions (or any others you'd like to share) about Earth-16's Green Lantern history and lore have at all changed, now that you've crossed over with that other series?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Does the Earth-16 universe has its own version of the Antimatter Universe (aka. Sector -1; which is the only known space sector with a negative number designation)? Also, does Qward (the home planet of the Sinestro Corps) exist in the Earth-16 version of Antimatter Universe?
#2. Was Hal Jordan's Green Lantern predecessor Abin Sur; an alien from the planet Ungara (which is located in Sector 2814)? Also, in comparison to the comics, how much of the Earth-16 version of their encounter is the same/different?
#3. Was Hal Jordan's Green Lantern mentor Thaal Sinestro; an alien from the planet Korugar (which is located in Sector 1417)? Also, in comparison to the comics, how much of the Earth-16 version of the history between Hal Jordan and Sinestro is the same/different?
#4. Who was John Stewart's Green Lantern predecessor before he obtained the Green Lantern power ring?

Hi Greg! How are you doing? I hope you're well.
By the time that you read this, Phantoms will have concluded, and hopefully we (the viewers) will all know what has really happened to Conner (i.e. how precisely he got into the Phantom Zone), as well as how he will get out (if he gets out... I mean, I imagine that he will, but as his circumstances are still somewhat mysterious, I do not want to assume anything).
At the time of my writing/typing, 420 has been released, so there are six episodes left. People are assuming that Phantom Girl managed to transport herself and Conner into the Phantom Zone, which certainly SEEMS like a safe assumption.
However, there remains the matter of the ash in the shape of Conner's body on the cave wall. I have brought this up online and have observed that the ash being in that shape would seem to suggest that Conner's BODY was indeed destroyed in the explosion. However, I have faced ridicule from some corners of the fanbase (only a handful of people, it seems, at least) who have insisted that the ash proves that Conner's body was NOT destroyed. I am not sure how they reached that conclusion. (I am also not sure why they insulted me when they typed this -- it is a sad sign of the toxicity of some fans they they feel the need to sprinkle their retort with rudeness and insults.)
This leads to wonder if you could clarify, please, whether the ash in the shape of Conner's body was intended to suggest that he was dead. This is certainly what I took from how M'gann and Garfield reacted at the end of "Involuntary" (M'gann facial expression and Gar's words), so I would like to think that the YJ crew did indeed want the viewers to see the ash as an indicator of Conner's likely demise. Could you clarify, please? I have a feeling that you will confirm that the ash was meant to suggest this (whether or not it was a red herring at the time) and so I look forward to your answer.
It really feels like my understanding of what happened with the ash on the cave wall is SO different to what others have perceived, so by asking you, I hope to bridge the gap in my understanding if possible... or at least highlighted what was intended to be conveyed in this scene.
Many thanks!
In episode 4x12 Zatara flashes back to the day Superman defeated Mechanical Monsters, a clear reference to the Fleischer Superman films. Is that series, or at least The Mechanical Monsters instalment, canon-adjacent to Earth-16?
Do Karen and Mal live in Happy Harbor or Ivy Town?
Did they tell their friends about their daughter?
If Joker's bomb threat on the UN took place in 2018, which was when Spoiler joined the Team, does that mean she joined in January? And was she new as Spoiler during that mission?
Hey Greg!
My question is about M'gann's eye color. The whites of M'gann's eyes turned black when she went to M'arzz, though there are some scenes on M'arzz where the whites of her eyes are, well, white. It initially seemed like her eyes turned white whenever she casted a mental projection or was aboard Bio-ship / Baby, but there are some scenes that do not align with this pattern. Young Justice has always dealt with themes of identity and perception (especially with M'gann), and her eyes are always white when she is on Earth, so I was curious if her decision to switch between her eye colors was motivated by her desire to appear "more human" or "more Martian" based on who she is around? Or am I trying to find a pattern where there isn't one?
It is very rare for vandal savage to be angry, but as shown with kaldur after he ruined the reach summit and after the lords of order killed orm it is possible to piss him off. So what I want to ask is vandal savage capable of holding a grudge?
Did anyone in Atlantis try to contact Dr. Fate to have Nabu verify the identity of Arion? I had originally believed that Savage would have taken specific steps to counter that exact scenario, but seeing that with the Crown of Arion it seems the Lords of Order could instantly tell he was a fraud, and Nabu would know better than anyone that that wasn't his Nephew.
Even if they didn't know about his specific familial relation to Nabu, he could identify the golden magics that are even more ancient than those Atlantis knows of.
1 Is darkseidâs view of grayven better or worse than his view of kalibak?
2 is grayven younger or older than kalibak and orion
3 does grayven view his brother kalibak as a rival?
4 what was grayvenâs opinion on when his father formed an Alliance with genghis Kahn(vandal savage)?
5 Considering grayven is one of darkseidâs lesser known Sons what made you decide to use him in your show?
Mr. Weisman,
In light of GL:TAS being canon-adjacent, I would like to ask you a question in regards to the planet Ysmault; home planet of the Red Lantern Corps. In the comics, there are two space sectors that have been identified as to where Ysmault is located; one being Sector 2814 and the other being Sector 666. As such, which Sector is canon for Ysmault's location in the Earth-16 universe; the former, or the latter?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, is the name of the Reach's home planet called Reachworld; like in the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
Are the Appellaxians capable of combining their host bodies together into a golem WITHOUT the help of Apokoliptian technology? If true, did they do this during their battle against the seven founding members of the Justice League as a last-ditch attempt to defeat them once and for all?
Mr. Weisman,
In season 1, Dick Grayson told Black Canary during a therapy session that he did NOT want to become Batman. However, even though Batman will NEVER die, Bruce Wayne eventually WILL die at some point, and when that time finally comes, I suspect an Earth-16 version of "Batman: Battle for the Cowl" will likely happen. If true, do you think Dick would have to step up and become Batman, so that the no one else will misuse the cowl and disgrace the name of Batman?
PS. If Dick DOES end up becoming Batman in the Earth-16 universe, I would like to make an important suggestion to you: Dick's version of the Batsuit should be based on the version that is briefly seen in Detective Comics issue #966 (in the panel in which a future version of Tim Drake mentioned that Dick took on the mantle of Batman for a time before eventually moving on); the reason for my suggestion is because its appearance seems good enough to be a Batman/Nightwing hybrid costume.
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, there are two versions of Mongul; the first one is Mongul MDCCXCI (aka. Mongul the 1791st) and the other is his son, Mongul MDCCXCII (aka. Mongul the 1792nd). As such, in the Earth-16 universe, is your version of Mongul the former or the latter?
Mr. Weisman,

Mr. Weisman,
Just so I can understand this correctly, Wyynde's shame stems from the fact that Ocean-Master was revealed to be Prince Orm in 2012. As such, Wyynde had been dealing with the guilt of being fooled/manipulated by Ocean-Master for 8 years. Am I correct in this interpretation? If not, then what was the actual reason why Wyynde felt so ashamed?
1. What year was Alanna born?

1. So now that GLTAS is canon adjacent, did you by any chance before doing the episode with Razer do a re-watch of Green Lantern The Animated Series to see what you would add to your timeline of Earth-16 like what events fit and what you can ignore.
2. Like are you aware of the lore building events referred but not show in GLTAS like Atrocious vs orange lantern corps conflict or are you going with the more let's see what the timeline and story needs and if so I will consult GLTAS lore and story accordingly.
3. I just realised this but Hal Jordan doesn't have a VA (aside from his uncredited one line in Agendas) in young justice so can we expect Josh Keaton to reprise his role.
4. Would it be safe to assume that Razer was a one time thing and won't return or can I be hopeful that one day he will.
5. Any chance of seeing Green Loontern on earth-16 or can you not use Looney Tunes characters.
Mr. Weisman,
I am of the honest opinion that if the Earth-16 version of Amanda Waller ever shows up again in a future season of Young Justice, she should aim higher/go bigger and she should create her own version of the Justice League that answers directly to the United States government. In terms of what I personally think the team's name should be, it should be called either the Justice League of America (The New 52) OR the Justice Squad (Future State). I do have some ideas as to who should be the members of this group, and I wish to share them with you below:
"Batman" - The logical choice would have to be Bane; considering he has impersonated Batman in The New 52; specifically, during the "Forever Evil" event. I personally liked his version of the Batman costume that he wore during that event. I had also considered Lincoln March to be a secondary choice, but the problem is that there is no indication that the Batman Family has encountered the Court of Owls in the Earth-16 universe.
"Wonder Woman" - The logical choice would have to be Berchta; a very dangerous Amazon who was introduced in issue #6 of "Wonder Woman: Black and Gold." Granted, she has not made any other appearances outside of this issue, but considering her origin story (part of which involves a very personal vendetta against Wonder Woman's mother, Hippolyta), she would be a mighty force to be reckoned with.
"Superman" - This is a somewhat tricky one, but I think this should be the Earth-16 version of Gotham (Henry Clover, Jr.); a character who was introduced in the Batman comics during the DC Rebirth era. It is never revealed as to how he (and his sister) acquired metahuman powers in the comics, but they appear to be akin to Superman's own powers; even though the weakness is that the use of such powers shaves time off his own lifespan, and elevating the potency of his powers causes him to expend a greater amount of his life; thus hastening his death.
"Aquaman" - The logical choice would have to be the Orm clone; with my personal assumption that he would only become a member if he feels lost and he needs some kind of purpose in his life.
"Green Lantern" - The logical choice would have to be the Earth-16 version of Simon Baz. If his origin story is similar to that in the comics, perhaps Waller would blackmail Simon into joining the team.
"The Flash" - The first logical choice would have to be the Earth-16 version of Godspeed (August Heart). Since the Earth-16 version of Barry Allen apparently has no tragic origin story, and therefore likely has no personal nemesis (Reverse-Flash), the logical thing that should happen is to make the Earth-16 version of August Heart be the antithesis of Earth-16's Barry Allen; using a similar history from the comics, but making Earth-16's August Heart become miserable (which should stem from not being able to get justice for the death of his brother, Jorge Heart); whereas Earth-16's Barry Allen has been shown to be happy. If you are not happy with this choice, then the second logical choice should be Meena Dhawan; who has been both a hero speedster (as Fast Track) and a villain speedster (as Negative Flash) in the comics.
"Martian Manhunter" - This is a very considerably tricky one, but I honestly think that this should be an original Earth-16 character who should be described as a White Martian who should also be a direct descendant of the White Martian named Z'kran Z'rann; a character seen in the "Green Lanterns" comics. I also feel that this character should dress and deal with criminals in a near-similar manner to Z'kran Z'rann (from during the time before acquiring a Green Lantern Power Ring); although the character's own attire should be a more "modernized" appearance in comparison to Z'kran Z'rann's own attire.
I need you to please keep in mind that I put a considerable amount of thought into this, and because I honestly feel that this is something that the Earth-16 version of Amanda Waller would likely be able to try to do in a future season of Young Justice. I would not have dared to present this big suggestion to you otherwise if I didn't think it has great potential (and I REALLY think it COULD if you give it a chance). I hope that you will read this thoroughly and take what I have presented to you into some consideration.
Thank you very much for reading, for your patience, and your understanding.
I was browsing through the archives and found this interesting question and response from 2014:
Iâm A Fan writesâ¦
How is creating Star Wars Rebels' story and characters compared to YJ's and Spectacular's, considering those were in alternate continuities rather than part of official canon?
Greg respondsâ¦
It was very different. But it's impossible to discuss without spoiling. Ask again after the first season airs.
https://s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=19788
As far as I can tell, nobody ever asked again after the season aired, so I might as well. Do you by any chance remember what you wanted to discuss? Not only have you contributed to the Star Wars canon, but youâve also written stories for the Prime DC Universe and 616 Marvel Universe, even gaming worlds like WoW and MTG. Care to share any particular thoughts, anecdotes, insight, etc, on playing with IP in a large shared universe vs reinventing it for a new continuity?
Mr. Weisman,
If Green Lantern: The Animated Series is "canon adjacent," that means that Hal Jordan's love interest, Carol Ferris, would likely have already become a member of the Star Sapphires and have reconnected with Hal Jordan in the Earth-16 universe by now. As such, what has she been doing as a Star Sapphire since 2016/2017?
In the comics, a Blue Lantern ring can't normally fire unless there is a green ring in the vicinity, yet we see Razer punch Metron with a blue construct without a Green Lantern close by.
Were Kilowog & Tomar-re close enough to empower Razer even if they weren't on-screen at the time? Or, do blue-hope rings not have that specific limitation on Earth-16?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Razer:
#1. When was he born?
#2. Is the name of his homeworld Volkreg, and is it located in a sector of space known as the Forgotten Zone (also known as Frontier Space, or Guardian Frontier)?
#3. Was his wife's name Ilana, and was she killed by Atrocitus, the leader of the Red Lantern Corps?
#4. Prior to his introduction in the Earth-16 universe, how long had he been a member of the Red Lantern Corps before he began using the Blue Lantern Ring?
#5. Would you be willing to continue his storyline of his quest to find Aya in future seasons of Young Justice, or will the outcome of his quest remain open for interpretation?
#6. If, by some miracle, his quest to find Aya becomes successful, do you believe they will possibly decide to live together in peace away from any and all conflict in the universe, or do you think they could possibly go on some adventures together?
You're making it worse for those of us who want diversity in superhero media Now the rapid fanboys are blaming the diverse characters for lowering the show's quality when it's really just bad writing Who do you think ends up getting affected by that in real life while you collect your check and Twitter points
You know why you and Brandon ended up misgendering Halo - because making them declare that they're "nonbinary" was such a stupid half baked afterthought that even you guys forgot about it LMAOOOOO this is what happens when you cram as much shallow representation into a show as humanly possible
you took the time to change halos host body's name from gabrielle doe to gabrielle daou but did it not occur to anyone who worked on the show that its incredibly strange for an arab muslim character to have an english christian first name might not seem like a big deal but i think it perfectly displays how small your worldview is because it immediately jumped out as weird to me and all of my friends when we watched and most of my friends who watch are white if you missed something that obvious no wonder the character was so bad
Hey, Bestieeeeeeee.
OMG, Gregy you dodged a bullet with that apology, homieeee!! All both of my Tumblr friends were like "oh our gods!! That boomer did NOT just misgender our they/them-bitch Halo!!! Hoe, we gotta cancel his ass into unemployment!!" And I was like "they/them-giiiiirl, Gregy is my bestie since I met him at SDCC. We are all bffs and shit. He hooked me up with them screeners and but doesn't and all the good stuff... though he doesn't follow me on twitter and never retweets my amaaaahzing Cheshire shit posts. Yeah let's all three of us cancel that mf!! I'm the Campaign Queen after all!! I'm sure it will as well as all my other ones!!!"
But you got to your senses on time and bent over like a good pliable boomer for us to butt fuck you with our dildos...
Mr. Weisman,

Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, is the name of Clark's and Lois' apartment called "1938 Sullivan Place"? Is the building located in the uptown section of New Troy; one of the six boroughs of Metropolis, located in the heart of the city? Finally, is the building owned by Bruce Wayne, and did he gave the tenancy to Clark and Lois as a wedding gift to both of them?
1. Is Black Canary a public hero i.e. is her identity as Dinah Lance publically known.
2. Has she ever tried having a secret identify in that case or did she give up on that idea.
3. Was her mother a hero without a secret identify.
4. So since both the JSA and the All Star Squadron had disbanded by the time Dinah Drake became a hero in 1964 so does that mean she was never a member of the JSA and was always a Solo Hero.
5. Are Jade and Obsidian children of Alan Scott on Earth-16 as well.
Mr. Weisman,
Given that Tomar-Re mentioned that he was good friends with Jor-El and Zor-El, I truly hope that we will see him having some conversations with Kal-El and Kara Zor-El in a future season, and that they will both be able to forgive Tomar-Re on their respective fathers' behalf for him not being able to save Krypton; which probably weighed on his conscience for a very long time. However, my personal expectations for such conversations greatly depends on Tomar-Re hopefully surviving the events of Season 4 and beyond.
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Kru-El:
#1. Is his father's name Zim-El? Also, what was his mother's name; before and after marriage?
#2. In comparison to the comics, is he the cousin of Jor-El and Zor-El, and therefore, he is also considered to be the paternal uncle of Kal-El and Kara Zor-El; via their respective fathers?
#3. At an early age, was he considered to be a technologically adept, but cruel child? If so, why was that the case in the Earth-16 universe?
#4. In comparison to the comics, did he tormented/vexed only Jor-El, or did he do the same to Zor-El as well?
#5. In comparison to the comics, was he sentenced to the Phantom Zone for 35 years for developing forbidden/diabolical weapons and selling them to the criminal element?
#6. Because of his criminal actions, was he considered by his family as "the first stain on the name of El"? Or were there other disgraced members in the House of El prior to Kru-El?
#7. Since the House of El crest on his chest has a long cut on it, was it self-inflicted to symbolize that he has severed his ties to his family? If not, then what was the actual reason?
#8. Because of his association with General Dru-Zod in the Phantom Zone, does that make him a member of the "Hounds of Zod," like in the comics?
#9. In comparison to the other Kryptonians in the Phantom Zone, exactly how deep is his loyalty to General Dru-Zod?
#10. When was he born, and what year was he sent into the Phantom Zone?
did Garfield logan learn kid flash name was wally west before Rita died?
I'm seeing a lot of praise for Garfield's depression storyline and I just.....don't agree that it's well-done. I thought that moment in season 2 when he briefly drops his happy go-lucky persona and reverts to his human shape when he's triggered into remembering his mom's death was a much better portrayal of depression than whatever you guys are doing now. This is 2022, simply acknowledging mental health issues isn't unheard of anymore (I would actually argue that there's too much romanticization of depression in media at the moment with things like 13 reasons why and euphoria but that's another issue). It doesn't feel earned because everything bad that happened to Gar happened off-screen during the time-skips and we know that Conner's not really dead, so he'll probably be fine. We didn't even know the Doom Patrol in this universe, so how can I really feel the impact it's had on him? How can I relate to him? Why should I care? It seems like a classic case of telling not showing.
I was stoked when I first heard about the arc format because I thought we would get to see a small set of characters in each one and see more of the main characters' supporting casts. It seemed like it was going that way until we got to Zee's arc, or should I say Vandal and Klarion's arc because that's what it really was, she was in the background and we barely got to know her proteges. Even in Artemis' arc, we saw more of the Batfam than the Arrowfam, which would've made more sense in Nightwing's arc. Why didn't you guys commit to the format of focusing on each main character for each arc? Did you get worried people would lose interest or is this your own internal bias towards the characters you prefer being reflected? Like no offense but we've seen more than enough of Miss Martian and Beast Boy, there are other interesting characters to look at.
do you even care that many loyal fans were disappointed with the young justice revival? cuz it kinda feels like you're dismissing anyone who isn't kissing the ground you and brandon walk on as "not a true fan."
Hello Greg. Recently, I watched a newer episode of Young Justice which revealed Lagoon boy is Bi/Pan and polyamorous. As a Bi person myself, I really like your inclusion of Bi/Pan characters in YJ. After watching the episode, I had a few questions about how LGBTQ people are viewed in the world of Young Justice.
1. How are LGBTQ people generally viewed in Atlantean culture? Are Atlanteans generally tolerant of LGBTQ people or generally intolerant? Are they tolerant of some parts of the LGBTQ community and not others? Does this tolerance depend on the region/city?
2. How do Amazons generally view LGBTQ people? I would assume they lean tolerant towards same-sex relationships given that their island is generally portrayed as Greek inspired and all woman but I wanted to double check.
3. How do Martians generally view LGBTQ people?
Mr. Weisman,
At the time of this posting, I was surprised that Beast Boy admitted to Black Canary that he needed help to deal with his grief. Was this your plan all along for his storyline?
I have to admit to you here, I have read on the internet months ago that seem to imply that his depression was going to ultimately lead him to commit suicide. In fact, when I saw his therapy session with Black Canary, I was honestly worried that he was going to have a full mental breakdown and then admit to her that he actually didn't want to deal with pain and grief that came with the culmination of losses that he suffered over the years, and that he would then admit to her that he actually wanted to die so that his pain and grief would end. But don't get the wrong idea though; I'm actually glad that it did NOT ultimately come down to that when his confession scene happened.
However, even with Beast Boy admitting to Black Canary that he needs help, and the damage that he caused to his own life (harshly pushing everyone away, leaving Space Trek 3016, and breaking up with Perdita), the next important question is this: At this point, is it too late for him to reconcile with Perdita and his friends, and has the damage been done to the point that he can't go back to the way things were even if his mental health improves?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Why is Ursa addressed in the credits as "Ursa Zod" and not "Ursa-Zod"? I mean, why are female Kryptonian names different on Earth-16 that a dash is not added between their given names and the Kryptonian houses in which they are married into? The reason I am asking this is because I personally remember there was at least one case in the "Smallville" TV series in which Kara addressed Kal-El's mother as Lara-El during a Season 7 episode; as opposed to Lara Lor-Van. I hope you can understand my confusion here.
#2. I have never heard of a Kryptonian before who goes by the name Kru-El. What is his exact familial connection to all the other members of the House of El, and what exactly did he do to end up becoming a disgraced member of that house and being banished to the Phantom Zone?
In "Forbidden Secrets of Civilisations Past", Raquel used "her " when talking about Violet. Did Raquel not know about Violet indicating a preference for gender-neutral pronouns? As far as we've seen, Violet hasn't told anyone but Harper, but you guys like to have stuff happen offscreen...
How the hell did Metron get his hands on a baby sun-eater?
When did New Genesis learn of Connerâs death?
What was that eyeball Lor-Zod found in Metronâs vault?
Do you plan to include all these time jumps? Friends of mine have said that the first two seasons of YJ had a very different feel compared to Outsiders and Phantoms, mainly because there seems to be too many subplots in recent seasons.
During the meeting in âForbidden Secrets of Civilizations Past,â both Orion and Vykin misgender Violet and use she/her pronouns. While this was annoying in of itself, I figured you (who wrote the episode) and Brandon were going to use this as an opportunity for Raquel to correct both Orion and Vykin (and thus putting an even bigger strain on the dynamic between Raquel and Orion) on Violetâs pronouns as they/them. What I did not expect was for Raquel to continue misgendering Violet throughout the whole conversation. I was actually shocked and more than a little hurt.
Violet came out as nonbinary right before her graduation in early June, so weâll peg it as late May. This episode takes place in late August. Thatâs almostâ"if not exactlyâ"three months. Now, you might respond that maybe Raquel didnât learn Violet was nonbinary in that amount of time. (I would hope you wouldnât, because thatâs a flimsy excuse as it is.) But you know who definitely WOULD know? Forager. Who was sitting right there and still didnât say a word on the matter of everyone misgendering his friend and teammate. Youâd think Forager (with Foragerâs own Forager-pronoun shtick) would value oneâs preferred pronouns, but no.
I know you guys have been getting a lot of flack for the inclusion of shallow brownie-point representation and I have been defending the show tooth and nail, trusting that your team has learned from your mistakes back in Season Three. But after today, after this episode, this scene? I was proven wrong. I was genuinely heartbroken. You and Brandon clearly did not care enough to remember that Violet uses they/them pronouns, so why should the people watching who also, continuously, misgender them?
If this an actual creative choice to purposefully misgender Violet (much like how it was you and Brandonâs creative choices to showcase over and over again that Violet/Halo could regenerate by routinely depicting them horrifically maimed and bloody back in S3), then I sincerely hope you learn that your so-called creative choices hurt the people who saw a part of themselves in Violet. I know that this isnât the end of the world (or the worst thing this show has done to Violet), but I felt like this needed to be said. If Young Justice gets a Season Five, I truly hope you and Brandon do better.

I liked the Sherwood florist pun in Black canary's flower shop when did she settle on a Robin hood pun for the name? 4. Did Forager (the outsiders member not the female version) Learn to Quote the Bard of Avon from any of his drama Teachers at Happy Harbor high or Did Artemis teach him as she works as a comp lit professor ?
Hi Greg, I've really been enjoying S4 so far. One thing that I've been curious about as I've gotten older was about representation. When it comes to hiring voice actors for roles, I've noticed some POC characters aren't voiced by POC voice actors/actresses. But I also know that you've mentioned that because of budget, you can't bring in every VA that you'd like to. And to be clear, I love how much representation is already in the show. So many of the VA cast members are POC and that's terrific. My question is mainly if budget causes that happen at times?
Mr. Weisman,
What are the chances that we'll see the Earth-16 versions of Deathstroke's kids in a future season of Young Justice; especially his newest son, Respawn?

If I may be so bold as to ask a question in regards to the unspecified event that will occur in Happy Harbor on May 14, 2030, is it somehow possible that specific day is supposed to mark the formation of the United Planets in Earth-16's 21st century, and, as such, this day will likely become the Earth-16 equivalent of "Unity Day" (which is a name that was proposed by Jonathan Samuel Kent in the comics)?
Was the Anti-Monitor ordeal from GLTAS also happen in YJ?

Greg can you clarify why Tim was wearing stealth-tech in True colors when Dick never wore it and according to your previous responses Jason probably didn't either is it because of Jason's "death" that Tim is being more careful or that he didn't want to take any risks.
So Greg this is a confusion that I have regarding time travel on Earth-16. So when
asked Neutron status post Bart's time travel you previously said "Because of his close-proximity exposure to Chronoton radiation, he will have to teach himself what happened. He will never truly experience the revised timeline as memories. In theory."
And on twitter you said No when asked about whether Neutron from season 2 and 3 will in 2056 have his new memory supplanted by Neutron of the old timeline.
So my question is that in 2056 will there be two neutrons, If the Neutron from the old timeline gets added to this new timeline and exists alongside this timelines native Neutron then why did the old timeline Neutron's appearance change. It's just I having a tough time understanding rules of Earth-16 time travel can you please help explain this.
1. What is your favourite Agatha Christie Novel.
2. By chance have you seen David Suchet's performance as Hercule Poirot, if so what did you think of it.
3. Any murder mystery book you are surprised by how obscure they are and why more people haven't read them.
4. It's been mentioned in the archives and even you have addressed it that you can't read fanfiction because of the legal issues, so I have a similar but different question say you read or watch a completely new or different work of fiction would that not also pose the risk of influencing you and could not that be the grounds for lawsuits. Like say you read a book and it has an interesting solution or plotpoint or character and then subconsciously you are influenced and you write a character that is similar won't that be risky too legal action. So is there any restriction you impose on reading something that is not fanfiction and a original work by someone.
5. Have you read this murder mystery novel by Anthony Horowitz called Magpie Murders I think you might appreciate it's unique plot structure.
Mr. Weisman,
In the comics, there are three organizations; the League of Shadows (created by Ra's to stop mankind's course of destroying itself), the League of Assassins (an ancient organization consisting of highly trained killers), and the League of Lazarus (an enigmatic splinter organization of the League of Assassins that worships a demonic entity that inhabits the Lazarus Pit). As such, my question is where are the Earth-16 versions of the League of Assassins and the League of Lazarus?
So A couple of Doctor Who related questions if you don't mind-
1) What are your thoughts on the current doctor.(you can answer both for the incumbent doctor at the time the question was answered and if this by the time the actor has changed once again even that is fine).
2. When was your first exposure to doctor who or rather which doctor did you start with, are you familiar with the classic series.
3. So in the archives you mentioned Ninth Doctor is your favourite, what about him makes you so appealing to you and more so than the other doctors.
4. Since I know you prefer certain rules of time travel what are your thoughts on timey wimey(i.e the rules of time travel in doctor who) nature of time travel in doctor who.
5. What would you refer to as your favourite episode/story arc of doctor who.
Mr. Weisman,
Could the animated movie, "Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons: The Movie," potentially be considered "canon adjacent" in the YJ animated universe? If true, then...
#1. When could the events of the film logically fit within the Earth-16 timeline?
#2. Which events in the animated movie would NOT make sense within the Earth-16 continuity and why?
1. Is it safe to say that Bear isn't the only New God who's gotten physical with Metron?
2. Since we're getting a Rocket-centric arc, where's Icon?
3. "Catwoman: Hunted" question: are Mr. Yakuza and La Dama based on characters from the comics, or were they created for this movie?
4. Have Earth-16 Black Lightning and Tobias Whale faced off?
What is the title of the next episode of Rocket's arc in Young Justice Phantoms?

I got a few New Genesis Bug related questions-
1. So Forager are called so because they forage for items, All Mother is well all mother and is the queen of the hive, Then is Mantis also a role in Hive like would each have a Mantis or Does mantis simply have individuality enough to choose a name not based on his task in the hive.
2. There were also yellow colored bugs in Away Mission do they have a different role 3. There are blue/purple colored forager too are they always gonna be female, if possible could you explain the Bug color and roles cause right now it's a bit confusing since we don't have much information about this.
4. Is Mantis fighting for a cause like for Bugs to get the respect they deserve similar to Mcomm fighting for the A'ashenn cause or is it simply like I lookout for Myself and don't care about anyone else.
Mr. Weisman,
How old does the Collector of Worlds appear to be in terms of human biological years?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Brainiac 5:
1. Is his real name Querl Dox?

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?
Mr. Weisman,
In chronological order, who ruled Atlantis and how long did each person's reign lasted? If you are unable to list every single person, at the very least, please identify the more well-known/famous rulers of Atlantis' history and the length of their respective reigns in the Earth-16 universe.
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?
Mr. Weisman,
What are the exact dates that each of the Orm clone's memories occurred; as depicted in "Leviathan Wakes"?
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?
1. who is the fourth green lantern mentioned by Orin at the end of season 4 episode 17
2. when does Catwoman: Hunted take place?
3. Does the Green Arrow showcase show Perdita's initial arrival to the United States with her staying in the country until she is seen again in Episode 20?
What does Perdita Vladek think about Arsenal (Roy Harper) and are they both on good terms?
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?
On Young Justice:
1. What happened to Queen Perdita Vladeks mother?
2. Will Asami and Tye make a comeback anytime soon? Are they still together?
3. Is Jason Todd the Red Hooded Ninja?
4. Is Delphis in a polyamorous relationship with Kaldur and Wyynde?

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
So has Jay Garrick always been a public hero without a secret identity like from the very beginning of his career as the Flash or did he decide to keep it a secret at the start or was it like ah well I can't keep it a secret well no matter it's fine either way approach by Jay to all this.
Do you think Lian,Anissa,Arthur,Jon, Jennifer,Amistad and Don & dawn become heroes like thier parents in the future?
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)
Mr. Weisman,
Out of curiosity, when will the Earth-16 versions of the Milestone characters get costume changes to match their Earth-M (Milestone Returns) counterparts?
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.
You're saying that it would be illogical for an atheist to exist in the Young Justice universe but you had Wally denying that magic exists when Zatara is right in front of his face? Make it make sense.

Mr. Weisman,
Kilowag's mentioning of Razer eventually wielding "rainbow powers" seems to hint/imply that Razer's quest to find Aya may involve him obtaining the power rings from the other Lantern Corps and him becoming the White Lantern and using the power of life to probably bring Aya back. Am I correct in this interpretation? Besides, I honestly wish to see the Earth-16 version of Aya one day; seeing her reunite with Razer and her other friends, and even potentially interacting with the rest of Earth-16's heroes.
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.
Iâve seen countless comments in the past few days from people whoâve decided to finally catch up on Young Justice in order to see Razer again. It also seems like youâre saving Nightwingâs 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 youâre telling needed to unfold?
By any chance is Mary Bromfield a foil to Arsenal (Roy Harper)? If so then can you explain how and why?
I miss when the show was about the team. It was such a cool and unique concept, why would you replace it with a knock off teen titans? And then not even develop the knock off teen titans in the same way? Why should I care about them? Without the team, it does not even feel like Young Justice anymore.
I am honestly concerned that youâre letting the twitter crowd influence you too muchâ¦i know itâs a necessary evil for promotion but you should be aware that the people on there do not represent the whole population. itâs 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 theyâll keep it trending every week but be careful not to get too tangled up with them, they will turn on you in a second.
Mr. Weisman,
How much information in this link is also true in the Earth-16 universe?
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Emotional_Electromagnetic_Spectrum

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Forager_II_(New_Earth)
Mr. Weisman,
If a Martian shape-shifts to a form that is halfway between their natural Martian form and a humanoid form (like what J'onn J'onzz uses), how would you be able to visualize it, and can you please show us what it would possibly look like in a drawing or something? Would such a form likely look similar to that of the appearance of the White Martian Z'kran Z'rann; a character from the comics?
Mr. Weisman,
Out of curiosity, does an A'ashenn M'hontrr (White Martian Manhunter) named Z'kran Z'rann exist in the Earth-16 universe? In the comics, this character was an White Martian who became one of the first seven Green Lanterns 10 billion years ago; as depicted in the comic series, "Green Lanterns." If this character existed in the Earth-16 universe, would he have been regarded as a legendary figure and as an inspiration to all M'hontrrs (Manhunters) on Mars?
Mr. Weisman
1-how many active green lanterns are there?
2-how big is sector 2814? (Is it limited to our solar system?) If it is bigger why do earth's green lanterns spend most of their time on earth and don't spend time on thousands of other planets?
3-is oa the center of universe?
4-how big is the place patrolled by green lantern corps? Is it only the milkey way galaxy or is it the universe?
Hi there
1-does the green lantern power ring need to be recharged? If so how often do lanterns recharge their rings? (Consider normal power usage)
2-what abilities does the life support aura (the green aura surrounding theri bodies) give them besides providing oxygen? Do they need to eat or sleep with that aura? Does it take care of their waste?
3-does the aura mentioned above make lanterns bulletproof?
4-does the power ring grant them super strength?
5-Could they support the weight of a cargo ship or something with cunstructs?
Mr. Weisman,
If Zatanna had chosen some better/wiser/different words to explain why Mary could not wear the Helmet of Fate, would Mary have still have angrily left after being rejected as a potential host for the Helmet of Fate, or would Mary have understood/heeded the wisdom of Zatanna's words and therefore work to try to be better in order to overcome her power addiction?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. What were Icon's previous professions during his long life on Earth prior to become a lawyer in the present day?
#2. Why did it take Rocket to convince Icon to become a superhero? Were there personal fears/concerns that prevented him from making that choice himself multiple times prior?
Mr. Weisman,
Just so I can understand this correctly, Black Lightning placed an emphasis on mental health in direct response to Geo-Force's betrayal in the Season 3 finale and what he himself went through during the entire Season 3? Or were there more reasons besides these two reasons I mentioned?
Mr. Weisman,
Is the following biological family relationships correct for each personâs perspective in the Earth-16 universe? If not, please explain why.
#1. Jor-Elâs Biological Family Relationships:
Lara-El (formerly Lara Lor-Van) (wife)
Kal-El (son)
Lois Joanne Lane-Kent (daughter-in-law)
Jonathan Samuel âJonnyâ Kent (grandson)
Zor-El (brother)
Alura-El (formerly Alura In-Ze) (sister-in-law)

Lara-El (formerly Lara Lor-Van) (sister-in-law)
Kal-El (nephew)
Lois Joanne Lane-Kent (niece-in-law)
Jonathan Samuel âJonnyâ Kent (great-nephew)
NOTE: I did not include Superboy (Kon-El/ Conner Kent) in each personâs relationship list because I do not know what his relationship would be with them.
Is Staghart, Leo and Unaâs biological son?
By any chance is Geo-Force (Brion Markov) a foil to Arsenal (Roy Harper)? If so then can you explain how and why?
After Roy was invited to rejoin the Team by Artemis in "The Prize" are any of the heroes trying to make sure Arsenal (Roy Harper) doesn't end up like Vandal Savage, Black Adam (Teth Adam), Ra's al Ghul, and Geo-Force (Brion Markov) after what happened in "Nevermore"?
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.
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.
1. Would Razer make a good candidate for the Justice League reserves if Black Lightning and Superman knew about him?
2. How come Laâgaan and Arsenal (Roy Harper) aren't candidates for the Justice League reserves?
3. Out of the 24 candidates for the new Justice League reserves displayed on-screen 4 of them are being covered by Superman and Black Lightning's heads respectively. Who are those four?
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 Kaneâs Biological Family Relationships:
Unnamed father
Unnamed mother
Thomas Wayne (paternal uncle)
Martha Kane-Wayne (paternal aunt)
Bruce Wayne (paternal cousin)
Damian (first cousin)
Jacob âJakeâ Kane (paternal uncle)
Gabrielle Lorna âGabiâ Goldstein-Kane (paternal aunt)
Katherine Rebecca âKateâ Kane (paternal cousin)
Elizabeth Marie âBethâ 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 Wayneâs Biological Family Relationships:
Thomas Wayne (father)
Martha Kane-Wayne (mother)
Damian (son)
Jacob âJakeâ Kane (maternal uncle)
Gabrielle Lorna âGabiâ Goldstein-Kane (maternal aunt)
Katherine Rebecca âKateâ Kane (maternal cousin)
Elizabeth Marie âBethâ Kane (maternal cousin)
Unnamed maternal uncle (Bette Kaneâs father)
Unnamed maternal aunt (Bette Kaneâs mother)
Mary Elizabeth âBetteâ Kane (maternal cousin)
Nathan Kane (maternal uncle)
Philip Walton Kane (maternal uncle)
#2. Kate Kaneâs Biological Family Relationships:
Jacob âJakeâ Kane (father)
Gabrielle Lorna âGabiâ Goldstein-Kane (mother)
Elizabeth Marie âBethâ Kane (twin sister)
Thomas Wayne (paternal uncle)
Martha Kane-Wayne (paternal aunt)
Bruce Wayne (paternal cousin)
Damian (first cousin)
Unnamed paternal uncle (Bette Kaneâs father)
Unnamed paternal aunt (Bette Kaneâs mother)
Mary Elizabeth âBetteâ Kane (paternal cousin)
Nathan Kane (paternal uncle)
Philip Walton Kane (paternal uncle)
#3. Bette Kaneâs Biological Family Relationships:
Unnamed father
Unnamed mother
Thomas Wayne (paternal uncle)
Martha Kane-Wayne (paternal aunt)
Bruce Wayne (paternal cousin)
Damian (first cousin)
Jacob âJakeâ Kane (paternal uncle)
Gabrielle Lorna âGabiâ Goldstein-Kane (paternal aunt)
Katherine Rebecca âKateâ Kane (paternal cousin)
Elizabeth Marie âBethâ Kane (paternal cousin)
Nathan Kane (maternal uncle)
Philip Walton Kane (paternal uncle)
NOTE #1: Martha, Nathan, Philip, Jacob, and an unnamed man (Bette Kaneâs 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 Kateâs first cousin once removed and as Betteâs first cousin; specifically in Prime Earth continuity.
NOTE #3: In regards to the full names on the lists, I am assuming that any ânicknamesâ 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?
1. When was Lor-Zod's mother born?
2. When was Lighning Lad born?
3. When was Brainiac 5 born?
1. When was Razer born?
2. When was Tomar-Re born?
3. When was Kilowog born?
4. When was Jor-El born?
5. When was Zor-El born?
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.
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?
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?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. How old is Ursa in universe 16 ? 2. How tall is Saturn girl in universe 16 ? 3 Did you ever consider Jeff Bennett for the voice of Tomar re before giving the role to Dee Bradley Baker instead?
Dear Mr Wiesman 1. How old are the universe !6 versions of Kilowog and Tomar re? 2. How old is the universe 16 version of Razor (thank you for bringing him back!) and how long have he and Metron known Each other? 3. Who Wrote the Birthday song Forager and B. F. ( my nickname for the Female version to avoid confusion) sing to jay Garrick Flash ? 4. In light of her work as a Comp. lit Professor has Artemis shown signs of Myopia recently ?
Based on the latest episode "Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge", does this mean that Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series share the same continuity?
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)
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe...
#1. Is Fury's real name Erika Storn?
#2. Is Everyman's real name Hannibal Bates?
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.
Hello, Iâm a huge fan of young justice, and Iâm just concerned it will be end and there wonât be any lingering content from it. Things such as Superboy and Miss Martianâs relationship arenât really present in the comics. I love the world youâve made with these characters and I want them to enter the more mainstream view of the characters similar to how the Teen Titans show solidified so many peopleâs views on who the characters are.I was wondering if you had any plans on ending the show or if there was news on itâs renewal?
Were there any purist beside danuuth who continued to serve ocean master?
1. Over at the Young Justice Wiki there is a question as to If the Justice League (or the associated under teams) get any sort of Wage. You have previously mentioned a 'stipend', but did not elaborate. Could it be considered significant enough to call a Wage?
2. Could you be persuaded comment on This question and maybe a few others) on the Wiki itself?

Why is Highfather in this universe called Iyaza, while in the comics he's called Izaya?
Was that a conscious name change for the character or was it an error to late to change?
FYI - just because someone is critical about how the show has changed to focus on social issues doesn't mean they're racist or homophobic. While there is a vocal minority that is just mad about seeing diversity in a superhero show, more often than not, what people mean is that the focus on social issues is coming at the expense of telling a good story and/or it feels like you're trying to address too many issues and it's coming off as performative.
How old is Psycho-Pirate and what's his origin story?
Has anyone ever been benched from the Team before? (aside from Halo)
Mr. Weisman,
Is Superboy (Kon-El/Conner Kent) considered to be the second adoptive son of Jonathan and Martha Kent; presumably since in-between the events of Seasons One and Two of Young Justice?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. What are the names of Perdita's parents?
#2. Just to confirm, Count Vertigo is Perdita's maternal uncle because he and Perdita's mother are siblings, correct? The reason I ask is because, in the Young Justice Wiki, Count Vertigo is referred to as Perdita's maternal uncle in his own character page, while Perdita is referred to as Count Vertigo's sororal niece on her own character page. I mean, what does that mean?
#3. When Miss Martian learned that Garfield and Perdita broke up, and Miss Martian talked to Perdita off-screen, did Miss Martian had to explain to Perdita that Garfield's self-destructive behavior was because of how badly he had likely been affected by Superboy's death on Mars (which I assume that Perdita was NOT aware of at all)? As such, do you think that Perdita would be able to forgive Garfield for his behavior if Miss Martian explains to her why he is acting the way that he is?
Does Gar view J'onn J'onzz as Family? If so does Gar view J'onn as an Uncle?
1 How did chian react when it was revealed Arion was really orm
2 Did ocean master desire his seat on the light back before his second death?
3 Was orm genuinely apologetic over his actions to the light?
4 Was the reason the light decided to resurrect orm for project thrinos because they have no other atlantean agent?
5 Was chian punished for supporting arion(orm) claim to the throne
Every enforcer of the light had no superpowers was this intentional or just coincidence?
1. Was part of the reason Gabrielle took the bribe from Bedlam that she wanted to help her family get out of Qurac faster? I know Halo said she didn't know what was going on, but from the little we know of her and her family, Gabrielle doesn't seem like the greedy type, and while I expect the King and Queen pay their people a decent wage it probably wasn't 'get visas and plane tickets for two people ASAP' money, and it seems like that'd be an easy way for someone like Bedlam to manipulate a scared fifteen year old.
2. Are there ground rules on things you keep to when adapting characters? I love seeing what changes YJ makes for its own versions of the characters, but it does make me wonder if there are any, if not official rules, then guidelines you guys stick to for what you do or don't change? Like, Delphis is Indian now, but still gets the white hair and blue eyes, or how Halo kept (more or less) both their names from the comics, but switched around. And on the other hand, Mist's name and appearance seem entirely new, as far as I can tell. In other words, how do you decide what can be changed and what has to be kept to keep a character connected to their counterpart? Is it case-by-case as characters turn up in the story?
3. And as a follow up, have you ever had DC look at a new version of a character and say that you changed too many things, or that you have to include some trait in particular that wasn't in the first draft? Aside from the obvious character-you-can't-specify who can't be made explicitly gay.
4. Did Psimon do any mental tweaking of Orm-in-Arion so that he'd be more agreeable and less likely to hold a grudge over being beheaded?
5. Not a question, but I'm numbering it as one to be on the safe side, but back in October you said "And as for Paula, at some point, I clearly had a reason to state that she was  biracial . I honestly don't remember why, but I reserve the right to remember again at a later date." It may have been to make Artemis' genetics work? Since blonde hair is recessive, she would have needed to get it from both of her parents, so Paula would have needed a blonde parent (or grandparent) to inherit the gene from. Or, anyways, that's what I figured when I saw the answer in https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=21311.
Just curious, what was your thought process on selecting the initial members of the Justice League for Young Justice? Were there any characters that you wanted to put on that initial League lineup but decided against?
Also, how were you able to resist the urge to add one extra member and make the League's starting roster the sacred 16?
When Lagoon Boy encounters Aqualad in the episode "Alienated", he is the only one who does not show him sympathy or try to reason with him because he believed that Kaldur was a lost cause who's beyond reason or redemption after believing that he truly had betrayed King Orin and the Team right?
1) Why is Catwoman: Hunted âYoung Justice adjacentâ and not set on Earth-16?
2) Is there any possibility of a direct to video Young Justice/Earth-16 movie?
(Loved Catwoman: Hunted btw!)
It's my understanding that Outsiders was meant to be an allegory for the Syrian refugee crisis. So can you explain your reasoning behind the choice to have Gabrielle take a bribe to let an assassin into the castle? A refugee that commits a crime, betrays the country that showed her mercy, and gets her benevolent white saviors killed doesn't exactly elicit sympathy for refugees (or immigrants in general.) In fact, it supports the case for not taking in displaced people by feeding into the false narratives surrounding people fleeing from Muslim countries.
Was the idea that Halo becoming a hero would make up for Gabrielle's actions? If that's the case, I don't think that works because Halo is not a refugee or Quraci or Muslim, so she does nothing to redeem those demographics in the audience's eyes.
Did either Spoiler or Orphan go by the Batgirl mantle before taking their current respective names?
Hi Greg ! Hope you're fine !
I recently discovered a post where you said you were thinking about including covid pandemic in YJ. Don't you think it would be impossible and illogical ?
Because in season 1, for instance, the team has created a vaccine that countered a starro-tech in some days. So whipping out a virus like that would take hours in YJ world...
Mr. Weisman,
Aside from taking on various aliases throughout history, did Vandal Savage also worked from behind-the-scenes and tried to secretly manipulate and steer numerous people of various expertise towards the direction of his grand vision for Earth in order to further advance/evolve the planet and fulfill his overall goal?
Mr. Weisman,
If Vandal Savage was once known as Blackbeard the Pirate, then that would also mean that he would've been known by the other name Edward Teach, correct?
In regards to Vandal Savage's two sons, Jochi and Tolui:
#1. Is their mother's name Borte?
#2. What are their powers and how exactly do they work?
#3. Did they ever knew about their father's true name and his origins and millennia-long history, or did they only know him as Temujin/Genghis Khan?
#4. Aside from their encounter with the forces of Apokolips in which they clearly survived, did they live and die in a similar manner to their counterparts in our world? If not, what differences were there?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Is the full name of Raquel's son Amistad Augustus Ervin?
#2. Is Noble Davis the man that Raquel married during/after the events of Season Two?
#3. Why does Raquel not go by Raquel Ervin-Davis in the Earth-16 universe? I mean, what exactly happened between her and Noble?
#4. Considering their mentor-protege relationship, did Raquel ever named Icon (Augustus Freeman) as Amistad's godfather after Amistad was born?
What day did Queen Bee's invasion of Qurac take place?
When was Robotman revived?
Did he join the Justice League? And if so, when?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. If Cheshire had not introduced Lian to Red Arrow in Season 2, would he have sank down even lower to the point of potentially committing suicide due to his inability to locate Speedy for five years?
#2. Just so I can understand correctly, Cheshire's fear of Lian potentially becoming exactly like herself caused her to become suicidal to the point that she tried to get herself killed by someone else's hand before Artemis finally talked her out of it?
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)?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. When and how did Orin first met Mera?
#2. Was Mera originally sent by her father to kill Orin like in the comics; if so, then why did she not follow through with her mission?
#3. When did Orin and Mera get married?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, was Orin born in Amnesty Bay; a small coastal town located in Maine?
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?
How is Jay Garrick still alive? He was born in 1918, doesn't that make him over 100? I know Joan died but I'm surprised he is able to still be in the Justice League.

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?
1. What year did J'emm almost get married?
2. What year did Jason Blood last summon Etrigan prior to episode 10 of YJ Phantoms?
3. What year did Merlin bond Jason and Etrigan?
4. What year did Orin first come to Atlantis?
5. What year were the Arion and Orm clones made?
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.
Dear Mr Wiesman 1. How old is Celestia and how long has she served as a Captain of the guard in Super town? 2.Does Em'ree enjoy her job at Star labs and since coming to earth do She and Miss Martian both wear Baseball or newsgirl caps on occasion? 3. How old is the Penguin on earth 16 ( my favorite Batman villain thanks to Burgess Meredith and Paul Williams respectively) 4 How old is two face on Earth 16 good luck with the rest of season 4 and i can't wait to meet universe 16's Tomar Re when the Green lanterns arrive!
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.
Ocean master stated that he understood Why the light had him killed as he was out of control, but did he still hold any grudges against lady Shiva for his death?
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.
#WeAreAllOutsiders
Hi, Greg! Hope you're doing well. My questions this time are about Red Tornado.
1. Was he inducted to the Justice Society the same year he was born (ie, 1948)?
2. You've revealed previously that he was deactivated for a long time between his tenure with the JSA and his induction to the Justice League. What year was he deactivated?
3. What year was he reactivated?
4. Gonna toe the spoiler line, but... who reactivated RT?
Thanks for your time.
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.
Hello Mr. Weisman. I have a few questions about the latest episode of Young Justice Season 4.
1. Why did you choose Ben Diskin to play Orion in Young Justice? (I was expecting someone new)
2. Who is Lor-Zod? (Iâm very unfamiliar with this new character)
Mr. Weisman,
#1. When Ra's al Ghul was a hero, what was he called?
#2. Did Ra's al Ghul go by other names throughout his long life; much like Vandal Savage did? If so, what are some examples of famous names that he used throughout history?
#3. How many times had Ra's al Ghul been married in his long life? Other than Talia, did he had any other children (and possibly grandchildren) from his other marriages?
#4. How and when did Ra's al Ghul learned about and discovered the Lazarus Pits?
#5. Since his real name is presumably lost to history (or perhaps he threw it away to cut off all ties to his past), how exactly did Ra's al Ghul come to gain his current name?
Mr. Weisman,
Whose paying for the Premiere Building in Hollywood since Granny Goodness had been publicly outed in Season 3? Is it Bruce Wayne, or someone else?
The newest episode had some great new voice actors!
Can you tell us how you cast G.K. Bowes, Nika Futterman, Kurtis Mansfield, Phil Morris?
Mr. Weisman,
After the Arion clone was killed by the Lords of Order, were the Atlantean people ever told the truth about the origins of the clone sometime after Mera was crowned High King of Atlantis?
Mr. Weisman,
When Dinah Lance developed her sonic scream in first grade...
#1. Did she almost caused her teacher's and classmates' ears to bleed; in addition to nearly deafening them.
#2. How did her parents react to this incident and how did they help her deal with the guilt of her own actions?
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!
1. How old is Lightray?
2. How old is Noble Davis?
3. How old is Orion?
1. How old is Elaine Jackson?

4. How old is Jovita?

Who are the two characters on the screen blocked by Black Lightning and Superman's heads during the end credits of Beyond the Grip of the Gods?
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.
When was Amistad diagnosed with autism?
In Beyond the Grip of the Gods!, Ma'alefa'ak takes on the form of someone named Graggin. Graggin was a minor character in the comics, so on Earth-16 (or Apokolips-16) is there a real Graggin Ma'alefa'ak was impersonating, or is it just an identity he made up?
Hi Greg. I had a question about Rocket and Amistad. Did you have someone who is knowledgeable when it comes to Autism help you write Amistads character surrounding his Autism? Could you possibly explain the process in which you guys went about the writing for his character and how Rocket was handling it as well?
Dear Mr Weisman 1. How old is Lor zod and how long have He and Dark side known each other? 2. How old is Forager (female version not the one from the outsiders) 3. How old is General Zod and why didn't he tell Superboy to ''Kneel before Zod'' when they first meet? 4 How are All widow and light ray? ps I love both Nika flutterman's Preformance as the female Forager and the cute Moutain hive larvas
1. Why are the Red Martians not discriminated against like the White Martians are, since they are even less of them than the White, wouldn't the Greens just think they are better than all others? 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?

are some of the characters from Young Justice in the autism spectrum?
Mr. Weisman,
Why did you have Earth-16's Stargirl join the Outsiders instead of having her start up a modern-day Justice Society of America?
How would you feel if a show you like announced they were going to add its first Jewish character but then it turned out it was actually a non Jewish ghost possessing the body of a dead Jewish man who has all of the stereotypical Jewish features and wears a kippah all the time for no reason? Oh and also none of the writers are Jewish so the identity is not explored in any meaningful way even though the character is visibly coded as such? Would you be happy about that?
Mr. Weisman,
When Barbara lost mobility in her legs due to her injury caused by Orphan, what was the exact amount of time that it took for her to go through her five stages of grief in regards to dealing with the fact that she would likely never be able to walk again? Also, who specifically helped/supported her through this difficult time and how did each person helped her?
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?
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 youâd 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 Laâgaan 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 Mâgann 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 donât like the stance you guys are taking on the subject (or that youâre 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.
Hi Greg,
Gotta say when it comes to Bonkers I really like and love the Miranda Wright era episodes more, and love Miranda' coolness towards his antics I really wished there was more of them during the time in the 90s, were more episodes planned for Miranda like say Bonkers teaching her more on toon antics?
"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.
Hello, Iâve always wondered what was gave you the idea for Aqualadâs water bearers?
When we see Isis and Ice arrive together to confront Child's magic is Isis a member of the League are a magical aide summoned by the Stranger?
Mr. Weisman,
Is Ocean-Master's full name Orm Marius?
Would you say that Tim Drakes origin is similar to âA Lonely Place of Dying' or his New 52 origin of being under Bruce's care while in witness protection? (This has ate me for years because given the timeframe of season 2's production, it really could be either or).
Did Alan Scott and Icicle Sr ever fought during the 40's or 50s?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, is Wotan's full name Karel Wotan? Also, was he born in Scandinavia? Finally, what is the source of his immortality?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Black Adam:
#1. Is he around 3,320 years old; as of 2020?
#2. From other people's perspectives, how old does he appear to look based on his physical appearance?
#3. Was he born in Kahndaq; a country in the Sinai Peninsula?
#4. Is his citizenship identified as Kahndaqi?
#5. When he was a hero, was he known as "Khem-Adam"?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, are the powers of Shazam for Black Adam as follows below and are based on the Egyptian gods?
Stamina of Shu
Swiftness of Heru
Strength of Amon
Wisdom of Zehuti
Power of Aton
Courage of Mehen
Did Phobos have something to do with his parents' death? If so, did he try to pretend they died some other way, or was he blatantly like "I killed my mom. Kneel before me." from the outset?
Also, what kind of parents name their kid "Fear" anyway? Does "Phobos" mean something different in Meridian?
Hi Greg hope youre doing great!
Ive been a fan of Young Justice since the begining and i absolutely love this show. That said, i believe you should know the YJ fandom is worried and this is important.
1) Many fans keep saying the animation (overall) dropped in S4. Do you believe these concernes are valid?
2) Is the possibility of making seasons shorter to save budget a possibility? (im sorry if this is something i shouldnt ask)
3) Who did you consult in order to help you write Garfield this season?
4) Is the comic that was just announced...a spoiler?
1 Why did the clone orm approach danuuth?
2 Why was danuuth hiding when the clone orm attacked the atlantean summit and Why did danuuth not assist the clone orm in his attack?
3 Did danuuth truly think that the original orm was the rightful king of Atlantis or did he simply join the original ocean master for the sake of power?
When lady Shiva stated to ocean master that his impressive skills were worthy if the shadows. Was that meant as an attempt to recruit ocean master to the shadows?(if he were to back off on killing the justice league families atleast)
Hi Greg. First of all I want say I am a huge fan of Gargoyles, and so I have a few questions about the show.
1. Is there any particular reason as to why certain characters like the Magus and the Archmage were not called by their real names?
2. Was the Archmage always evil or was actually loyal to Prince Malcolm at any point in time?
3. Why did the Magus not receive the title of Archmage after he took his mentor's position?
1. If Ocean Master had succeeded as becoming King of Atlantis as Arion would he have been accepted back into the Light as part of the main council or just a high ranking associate like Count Vertigo Wotan ect...
2. In Atlantis they were five statues one of Arion and Vandal Savage with three others? Were the other three Garn Daanuth, Wyynde the First for lack of a better term, and Lady Chian as she is connected with Arion in the comics?
3. Is Chian a descendent of Lady Chian like Wynnde and Daanuth are descended from their ancient namesakes?
4. Could more humanoid for lack of a better term Atlanteans sorcerers like Kaldur or Wyynde achieve Lagaan's puffer fish extra strength magic skill? Would it manifest a less dramatic way such as increasing their muscles but not as extreme as Lagaan's or is it a case by case basis?
5. Is the Trident of Neptune also called the Trident of Poseidon? Typically Greek goes before Roman is there a reason you's didn't go that way or is all of this just aesthetics?
Hi Greg,
In regards to Spectacular Spider-Man, I understand the legal issues are a bit confusing and you very likely donât know all the details.
However, it was revealed a while back that Sony still holds the rights to make Spider-Man Animated Shows as long as episodes are over 44 minutes. Knowing this:
1. Based on your understanding of the legal issues the show faces, is this a way it can be revived by Sony without input from Disney?
2. If so, would you be willing to do something like that if given the opportunity?
What tips Orin off that "Orm" is a clone is that he remembers prison visits that didn't happen, because he was implanted with an approximation of the real Orm's memories after the time he was jailed based on the Light's best guesses. This would have made sense on its own. But in the last episode of the arc, it turns out that the Light had the real Orm's brain all along after he was decapitated and put it in a cloned Arion body. So shouldn't they have had access to the real memories of that time? Why then wouldn't they implant those memories as well? Or at the very least, ask Orm-in-Arion's-body for description of what happened? He'd have been able to tell them that Orin never came to see him.
Or is Orm-Arion a complete fake as well, not Orm's actual brain, even though Vandal addresses him as if he's the real thing in contrast to the clone Orm? Is Vandal just letting him think he has the real Orm's brain? But he seems to remember having been killed, since Vandal asks him if he understands now why it had to happen, and he remembers being "out of control".

Hi Greg !
1) Why did you put the Batgirl/Orphanâs flashbacks on Artemisâs arc ? Im sorry but it kind of felt out of place since we never ever have seen Artemis and Barbara interact before that episode. And there wasnât any foreshadowing for the flashbacks.
2) Why didnât you put them on Nightwingâs arc instead ? It would have blended in better.
3) Why choose to develop characters like Orphan when you had characters like Arrowette and Arsenal that are more related to Artemis and also needed screen time and character development ?
Thanks for your time and answers !
Mr. Weisman,
According to Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy, the time-traveling saboteur attempted to kill Superboy the first time in 2019 when Superboy was in the United Nations. Assuming this does not get answered by itself before the end of Season 4 (or possibly ever) how exactly did that guy originally planned to kill Superboy back then, and how exactly did the Legion of Super-Heroes managed to miraculously stop him and caused him to retreat until his second assassination attempt on Mars?
Mr. Weisman,
After Orin placed Arion's Crown on Mera's head, the crown glows along with Mera's tattoos. Does the crown's glow (despite it being drained of its power) means that the Lords of Order accept Mera as the current user of the crown?
Hi Mr. Greg sir, this isn't so much as a question as much as a thank you for creating YJ and sort of an explanation as to why I love it so much.
I've always been a big fan of DC and specifically the non-main heroes (cuz we can't call them sidekicks here), and combine that with excellent writing and YJ was practically made for me to love it to pieces. It's just a phenomenal show, and so many plot things happen that I hope I can one day pull off with my own works.
But my experience in loving YJ is also a bit more personal for me.
I was in middle school when season 1 started airing, aka just about the age range of my favorite, Robin, and I remember looking forward to thursdays for new episodes of the show to come out. It was just such a big part of my life at that time, and it was overall pretty fun. And there were plenty of hiatuses which meant I would sort of get a little older and the characters wouldn't, but everyone was still in my age range so it was still possible for me to jump around perspectives.
Then there was a big gap between season 1 and 2 and by the time season 2 came out, WITH the time skip, I was 18, and well well look at that, the same age as Nightwing! AGAIN! While I know season 2 didn't focus on the OG team as much, it was still a really fun experience for me to be like "oh hey! I'm still in their age group!" unlike other shows where I eventually out-aged the characters.
Between seasons 1 and 2, my dad died, and while season 2 didn't deal too much with grief (although getting a new season from a show that was a big part of my life when he was alive was a great joy), when it was renewed for a season 3, season 3 did deal with grief, specifically Nightwing's arc which I related to more than I thought I would, once again it kind of felt like the story you were telling with YJ fell in line with my own life experiences, but now way more personally. But if that wasn't crazy enough, season 3 ALSO came out right around the time I started questioning my own gender identity. I had already been latching onto Violet as a new favorite, and then they said that line "I don't feel like a boy or a girl, I just feel like me!" and honestly, that was the first time in my life I felt like I understood how I felt about myself.
As of writing this, season 4 is still airing, and once again, I feel as though I have aged up with the characters as I continue to be in the same age range as them (mid twenties) and seeing them deal with grief once again, as I do too (2021 was a hard year for me) and also, Kaldur's arc which is airing right now, is painfully relatable to me.
I love YJ so much, not just because it's a spectacular story and writing, but because that I feel as if I truly grew up WITH these characters, and watching them go through the same struggles and journeys I do, albeit saving the world on the side, is just a big comfort to me. I'm sure there are many people out there who feel the same, especially as you continue. I really just wanted to thank you for giving this experience for me and to tell you that you've made a really good show. Whenever people ask me what my favorite show is, I always tell them "Young Justice".
(also thank you thank you thank you for throwing in legionnaires, the Legion of Superheroes is also full of favorites for me, and the 3 you've picked are actually some of those)
Sorry this got so long, you don't have to reply to it, I just wanted you to know that YJ has been a big impact and comfort in my life and I'm so grateful that you made it
Mr. Weisman,
After Kaldur'ahm passed on the leadership of the Team to Nightwing and took a leave of absence to find answers following the death of Tula and the revelation that Black Manta was his biological father, exactly how much time passed before he eventually came back to create the undercover infiltration plan with Nightwing? Also, given what happened in the Season 2 finale once the Justice League returned and met up with the Team at the ruins of Mount Justice, had Batman already figured out on his own that Kaldur'ahm had been in undercover to infiltrate the Light?
Does Psy-Back stand for Psychic Back-up?
1. Are Kaldur and Wyynde living together?
2. What is the name and gender of La'gaan, Coral and Rodunn's newborn baby?
3. Was La'gaan's grudge against Conner over the fact that M'gann and Conner got back together not long after she broke up with La'gaan?
4. What year did La'gaan begin a relationship with Coral and Rodunn and what did they get married?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Black Canary's father, his full name is Lawrence "Larry" Lance, correct?
Mr. Weisman,
I'm guessing the Leviathan creature that attack Kaldur'ahm and his group is the Earth-16 equivalent of the real-life prehistoric Livyatan? Also, what is the name of the giant crab-like creature that also attacked them?
Hi Greg, this is my first time asking a question from you so I'll keep it simple, are Violet and Harper a couple or are they just extremely close?
P.S I'm Loving Phantoms so far!
1) Is Dolphin now dating Kaldur and Wyynde? Or is she just staying with them?
2) Is Kaldur going to keep the beard? Will La'gaan grow one? Can he even grow one? There's just something right with an Aquaman having a beard.
Hello Greg, have to say Kaldur's arc in season 4 is my favorite (thus far). "Downtime" was one of my favorite episodes and it's always such a treat to return to Atlantis.
Anyway, the geopolitics of Atlantis is rather fascinating and the differing problems and the wealth disparity between the kingdoms makes for an intriguing bit of world-building.
It actually reminds me of the conflict between the various city-states of Renaissance-era Italy. So if this doesn't fall under spoilers I have to ask, what were the influences for the geopolitics of Atlantis? Did you try to stay close to the comic's own take of Atlantean politics or did you find inspiration from real world history?
In any case, congrats on Season 4 and here's to four more seasons!
Mr. Wiesman,
Just so I can understand what happened to Orm (whose mind was in the body of a cloned Arion), the moment he put on the crown, the Lords of Order sensed that he was an imposter posing as Arion (or maybe they knew all along), and then, through the power of the crown, they proceeded to violently tear Orm apart; destroying the cloned Arion's body and killing Orm, while taking back the power of the crown and Arion's magical essence. Am I correct in this interpretation?
Did Lex Luthor and Vandal Savage knew each before the formation of the Light?
Did Ra's Al Ghul and Lex Luthor knew each other before the formation of the Light?
Did Vandal Savage and Ocean-Master knew each other before the formation of the Light?
How did Vandal Savage knew about Queen Bee was she already activate as a supervillian before the formation of the Light?
What's the name of Coral's son?
Who is its bio father?
I've been watching and LOVING YJ S4, but I do have one question. If Arion, the son of Vandal Savage (not the clone), was truly immortal, then how is it that he was able to be killed when the statue fell on him? I believe that Vandal himself survived a similar crushing when Klarion was killing him for entertainment.
Hey Greg! I have been typing a series of questions for you to look over when you have the time. It's okay to read all or none of them, but for this one I hope you will take the time answering especially because I don't think anyone has asked you questions about the mental issues on your show Young Justice.
1) What inspired you to give Beast Boy PTSD? As someone who had to suffer anxiety over loss I really appreciate you doing this instead of making BB not have any mental repercussions at all.
2) As a psych major I appreciate the hard work you put into making mental health issues an understandable topic for your audience. I wish more people could have reached out to me the way Beast Boy's family did when I lost my loved ones. I would like to know did you talk to anyone from the APA or other mental health institutions about how to portray mental health treatment in the show?
3) I believe I understand why you killed Superboy in this season and that is because his death was what needs to get all of these characters to deal with their phantoms. But like real people who die they donât come back, do you believe that bringing Superboy back will undo all the character development these heroes had to go through?
4) What do you hope your audience gets out of YJ Phantoms when they watch these heroes battle with their phantoms?
I'm sure there will be plenty of variants of this question, but are polygamous relationships relatively common among Atlanteans or is the relationship between La'gaan Rodunn and Coral atypical? If it's the former, would it have been possible for Kaldur to have had such a relationship with Tula and Garth - or is that something the network would have immediately vetoed?
Hey Greg!
One of the things I love about your show is how you opened it to having conversations about faith. As a Christian, it is so refreshing to see Zatara practice his beliefs in a positive manner instead of in the stereotypical judgmental way that the media portrays most Christians.
1) In Earth-16 will we see other superheroes' beliefs displayed? I would particularly like to see Jewish characters completing the big three in world religions.
2) If religion exists how are characters able to stay steadfast in their beliefs? If I lived in a world filled with aliens, magic, and immortal beings I would always be questioning my theology.
3) Why does Zatara have so much tolerance for his non-religious teammates? Most of my Christian friends would be trying to convert them to their faith
4) Does Zatanna believe in the same religion as her father or does she have different beliefs from him? I can kind of see her possibly being resentful of God for taking her mom away and maybe disliking the fact she was forced to go to a Catholic girls' school.
5) Why is representing faith in your show important to you? For me, it would be because I can see myself in the characters and learn about someone else's walk of life.
Hey Greg! Big fan of both YJ and Spectacular Spider-Man. As a gay cisman, I had some questions for you about LGBTQ representation in your Young Justice. I apologize if these are questions that someone already asked and they're buried in your archive and I did not see them, but these are important questions to me.
1) Will you give Kaldur or any of your gay characters a coming-out story? It is great to see Kaldur happy with Wyatt but because I believed he was straight for 2 seasons I felt cheated that I didnât get to see this character discover this part of himself. A lot of shows have done the coming out story in sci-fi/fantasy animation like with Harley Quinn, but there are not a lot of those stories about gay male characters so it would mean a lot to your fans if we can go back and see how these two meet and fell in love.
2) Does homophobia exist in Earth-16? Everyone seems so nonchalant about all these characters having different sexualities, genders, and even multiple partners. 2b)In a world with different political and religious views are some DC Characters chalant towards the LGBTQ community?
3) After two seasons of not having gay representation why did you decide to include more openly queer characters in your stories? As a center-left person, I love what you have done with Kaldur, Lagann, and Violet, but some of your fans feel like these are just woke points. 3b)How do you justify your political views in the show to people who oppose them?
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I searched the archives with a few keywords and couldn't find it.
You've said that YJ season 1 isn't actually set in 2010, instead Team Year Zero just matches the 2010 calendar. I was curious why in issue 10 of the comics, the date 1968 is not only displayed visually but mentioned explicitly by Robin as a year in which things relevant to story took place (And going by other events mentioned in that comic arc 2010 would be the current year).
Was that just for viewer convenience (Team year negative 42 isn't very clean), and can it not be assumed that Robin actually meant team year negative 42 when he referenced it?
I loved the Kaldur arc! I was wondering about the choice to make La'gaan polyamorous (I loved it, no criticisms). Is his life with Coral and Rodunn reflective of a life Kaldur would've liked with Tula and Garth had none of them ever become sidekicks? Or am I reading too much into things?
Thank you!!
Hi greg just have a few questions about magic in Atlantis.
1. What is Wyynde's speciality in Atlantean Sorcery?
2. What is Lori Lemaris speciality in Atlantean Sorcery?
3. What is Coral's speciality in Atlantean Sorcery?
4. What is Topo's speciality in Atlantean Sorcery?
5. What is Nanaue Sha'ark speciality in Atlantean Sorcery?
Hi Greg, who do you is the most Morally good character on the show and who is the most evil of all?
How does Mars avoid overpopulation when they live for so long and have so many children? Do they space them out, there is more room below the surface, or something else?
And would it be safe to say that Martians are more in tune with Mars resources so they don't overuse them?
Finally what do Martians eat and drink for sustenance? Not looking for every type just what do they mainly use to stay hydrated or whatever term would be most appropriate.
Are there over 15,000 city-states in Atlantis like in the comics?
I see what you guys are attempting to do to fix Halo and I want to let you know - it does not matter. It does not matter if Violet learns more about Gabrielleâs heritage, this does not fix the fact that she is dead with an alien inhabiting her body. That is the main problem with Halo, why are you struggling to grasp that? Why not just resurrect Gabrielle and fix the problem or let Halo go?
I anticipate your response will be that every Muslim you talked to liked it, so let me counter with my own anecdotal evidence - every single fellow Muslim fan I have encountered, in person and online, has a problem with Halo. I have yet to find a Muslim who likes her, only some people who are not as offended as others. Have you taken the time to look and see what we have been saying for the past few years?
There seems to be a lot more acceptance of sexuality/types of relationships in Atlantean culture. I think with Kaldur, Wyynde, Rodunn, and La'gann, that more gay/bi men than we've (explicitly) met above water. Some questions:
1. Is Atlantis more accepting of LGBT+ relationships than surface dwellers?
2. Would, say, King Orin marrying a man be acceptable to the majority of Atlanteans?
3. Did you always picture La'gaan as bisexual? Is Rodunn the first man he has been in a relationship with?
4. Did Rodunn, Coral, and La'gaan enter into the relationship at the same time, or were two a couple beforehand? If so, which two?
5. Who came out to who first? Kaldur to La'gaan or La'gaan to Kaldur? If, in fact, Atlanteans "come out" in their culture.
6. Was M'gann the only person La'gaan had a relationship with while on The Team? I'd ask who, but I have a feeling that's a NO SPOILERS one.
6. To me, this is the weirdest character Yuri Lowenthal could voice and I absolutely love it. Not a question, just a statement.
When M'gann said she was closing up Conner's affairs what exactly were they? His motorcycle buisness? their wedding plans on Earth? A funeral? Could you be a bit more specific?
What's the name of the Central City Police Captain seen in Bloodlines?
If I wanted to ask a question about an idea. But less about you taking up the idea and more about. You giving me the thoughts of the DC creator community as a hole. Would you answer, or does that still fall under the 7th rule?
I have 5 questions to ask about Tula.
1. Did Tula ever have any parents or was she an orphan?
2. Did King Orin and Queen Mera ever see Tula as their own daughter?
3. Did Tula ever get a funeral? If so who attended it?
4. Did La'gaan mourn Tula after learning about her death?
5. Was Delphis ever told about Tula (a.k.a. Aqua Girl) and how she sacrifices herself to re-imprison Tiamat? If so then who told her?
I wonder why you guys picked Studio Mir for the entire season 4 of Young Justice. Was it because of any specific feature of that studio? Was it the only studio available? Do you even have a word on which studio you want to animate the show?
I personally like eMation's episodes from season 3 more than Studio Mir's one (mainly because characters were looking better in eMation's episodes and the floating hairs in Atlantis in Quiet Conversations look awesome), so I got a little disappointed when it was announced that Studio Mir was animating the whole season
I canât wait for Rocketâs arc!! I have autism and Iâm really looking forward to see myself on my favorite show!!
Thank you for seeing me!!
When did Beast Boy lose his virginity?
Was it with Perdita?
If no, then with who??
1. Are Stargirl and Courtney Whitmore the same person?
2. When did she start fighting crime?
3. When and how did she join the Outsiders?
Hi, Greg!
I wanted to ask why Joan passed away in-universe. Was it complications from old age, or was she sick? Had she been getting worse for a while by the time we saw her in the hospital in s3 ep17, or was it a sudden thing?
Okay, so we've seen Atlanteans resembling fish, marine mammals, and cephalopods, but are there Atlanteans resembling other forms of marine life, like crustaceans or marine reptiles?
In the past you've said that any character that was canonically queer in the comics would also be queer in Young Justice, because you naturally wouldn't want to erase pre-established queer representation. However, I'm curious if the same logic applies to Dinah Lance, as she was going to be revealed to be Bisexual in Gail Simone's Birds of Prey but editorial mistakes led to her stating her heterosexuality instead. Does authorial intent override the editorial error, or do you stick to what was on the page?
Also, is it safe to assume that the same logic applies to Spectacular Spider-Man, making Electro, Mystero and Black Cat all canonically Bisexual?
1) What is the name of the Metropolitan Museum of Art curator seen at the beginning of Secrets?
2) What's the name of the male Cuban officer seen with Colonel Bracuda and Sergeant Garcia in Early Warning?
If Miss Martian is trans-code, does that mean there won't be any REAL trans characters in the foreseeable future?
I used to be a he/him, but I'm one surgery away from being a full she/her, and I take some issue with this show's representation of trans people. It's a long process and the way you depict it makes it the transition look effortless.
Mr. Weisman,
What were the United Nations discussing about before the Joker took everyone hostage?
Hello, Mr. Weisman. I'm loving the show right now, Kaldur's arc is shaping up to be the best in Phantoms so far. I have a question about Tim Drake that I don't believe is a spoiler question. With that said, does Jack Drake exist in this universe?
Thank you for your time.
Mr. Weisman,
Was Barbara's designation Z-12 in Batman's team during the events of Season Three?
Hi, Greg. I was wondering who many characters on YJ above 18 are virgins. I'm a virgin myself and after struggling with depression and steep self-consciousness about it, I've finally accepted it. I feel like there's a lot of societal pressure for men to lose their virginity before turning 18, so I feel it's important to have some representation.
I have a few questions regarding Paul Sloane.
1) Why hasnât Paul taken any concern for what Gar is going through?
2) Why didnât Paul take custody of Gar after Rita and a majority of the Doom Patrol Die?
3) What was Paulâs reaction to finding out Rita and Marie died?
Are there Atlanteans like Topo and Nanuae that resemble marine mammals instead of fish and cephalopods, like, say, an orca?
1) When was Doctor Occult born?
2) When was Rose Psychic born?
3) When did Doctor Occult and Rose Psychic first become heroes?
4) When was the original Guardian born?
5) When did the original Guardian become a hero?
1) How old is Draaga?
2) How old is Mayor Sackett?
3) How old is Lionel Luthor?
4) How old were Jor-El and Lara El when Krypton exploded?
5) Who created the mechanical monsters that Superman fought in November of 1998?
Was Hugo Strange ever affiliated with Arkham Asylum?
1) When was Peacemaker born?
2) When did Peacemaker become a hero?
3) What are Paco and Brenda's full names?
4) Did Dan Garrett ever team-up with other heroes?
5) Does Captain Atom have a specific city that he operates in as a solo hero?
In Artemis Through the looking glass, the end passage is about the Unicorn saying if you believe in me I'll believe in you, is the parallel to Superboy saying to phantom girl in the place where he is trapped in ep 14 when he says I'll believe you are alive, If you believe I am alive Deal.
1. Is this an intentional reference.
2. It makes me wonder those themes of each episode/ ending passage and quotes are they only episode centric only or do they foreshadow the actul plotlines of the season. Probably will know this by the time the season ends.
3. I am always curious about how do you decide which theme to use and how do you ensure one arc doesn't end up just a repetition of an old one. Like if you tackle addiction with one character and you have to tackle addiction again how are you gonna differentiate it from the first time so it doesn't seem like the same story told twice.
How long have the Legion of Superheroes been in the past and just how many events have they tampered with? Does Nanaue Shaâark have a spouse or any relatives? Final Question: How powerful is the Phantom Stranger, does he have limits or is he essentially a god?
You said recently that Brandon and yourself pitched Phantoms to Sam Register immediately after Season 3. Did you pitch a fifth season after wrapping Season 4? (Hopefully by the time you read this question Season 5 will be in production!)
1. Does Vandal know, with exact precision, how old he is in years?
2. Does Vandal count the age he was prior to coming in contact with the meteorite, assuming he even knows how old he was?
3. Does Vandal still need to eat and drink? Starvation and dehydration do fall under the category of death, not to mention suffocation. Can he survive even without air?
4. Does Vandal's regeneration grant him immunity to disease? Iâm guessing fatal ones don't affect him. But what about common or progressive illness?
5. Does Vandal have a meta gene? To be specific, did the meteorite mutate or evolve him in a way to give him the meta gene(or the meta gene's precursor), or did Vandal already have the meta gene, and the meteorite simply triggered it?
Would The Prize audioplay be included in a hypothetical Season 4 Blu-Ray?
Did anyone bury teekl 1 after flaw killed her?
Mr. Weisman,
If the United Nations were briefed on the existence of The Light based on the evidence presented by the Justice League, does that mean that every federal agency around the world was put on high alert and those members of the Light who attended the summit with the Reach are on the most wanted list?
Consedring child considers savage basically like a lord of order. Why did she not try to elimate him and the light?
Mr. Weisman,
I have heard that an adult animated series based on Legion of Super-Heroes is being developed by Brian Michael Bendis for HBO Max. If this is true, does that mean it would now be virtually impossible for you to possibly do a spin-off based on this superhero team in the Earth-16 DC Universe? Or might there still be a way for a spin-off to somehow happen one day in the future?
Mr. Weisman,
#1. Since Saturn Girl is identified as 18 years old, that would mean that she would have been born in the year 3002, correct? If not, then what is the correct birth year?
#2. Assuming her code name suggests that Saturn Girl was truly born on the planet Saturn in the 31st century, does that mean that she and her people would be identified as Saturnians?
#3. Since Phantom Girl and Chameleon Boy are identified as 15 years old, that would mean that they would have been born in the year 3005, correct? If not, then what is the correct birth year?
#4. Is Chameleon Boy from the planet Durla and, as such, he and his people are identified as Durlans?
#5. Is Phantom Girl from the planet Bgztl and, as such, she and her people are identified as Bgztlians?
Hello Greg! I'm absolutely LOVING Kaldur's arc so far, and I'm now fascinated with all things Atlantis, so here are some questions:
1 - According to the YJ wiki and the Legacy tie-in game, Tula was born sometime in 1994 and died on February 18, 2015. I know you don't calculate birthdays unless necessary, but do you know if Tula was 20 or 21 when she died?
2 - Was Mera a student at the Conservatory of Sorcery or did she cultivate her mystical prowess elsewhere?
3 - Speaking of, is the Conservatory of Sorcery only for children/teenagers learning sorcery (given we've only seen teenagers as students) or can anyone of any age attend?
4 - Does Atlantis use the same dating system that the surface world uses? For example, is December 31 (or whatever that translates to in Atlantean) the last day of the year in Atlantis like it is for the rest of the planet? I do wonder how the Atlanteans keep track of the days if they cannot see the sun or the moon, or are they not as deep underwater as I'm assuming? Perhaps it has to do with the ocean's currents?
5 - Is Calvin Durham considered a metahuman?
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 Mâgann for her mental wellness check or another counsellor/therapist? Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.
Mâchiste 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 kaldurâs 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.
1. In "Ebb Tide," is the Devourer based on the Aethyr in the comics, the only living organism in the Phantom Zone?
2. In "Nautical Twilight," it is mentioned Nanaue annexed the lower territory of Tritonis. When did this happen in the timeline?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, what is the in-universe explanation for why Billy Baston changed his superhero name from Captain Marvel to Shazam, and when was the exact date that he made this change?
Mr. Weisman,
1. In the Earth-16 universe, is Black Lightning's full name Jefferson Michael "Jeff" Pierce?
2. In the Earth-16 universe, is the second Green Lantern's full name John Marshall Stewart?
3. In the Earth-16 universe, is the third Green Lantern's full name Guy Darrin Gardner?
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?
1) Is King Sha'ark descended from the Hawaiian Shark-God that he shares his name with, or was he named in honour of him?
2) What position in Orin's Cabinet did Orm hold before he was outed as Ocean-Master?
3) Have you laid out an official ranking system for the Atlantean Royal Guard?
4) What is the name of the bar that Minkis works at?
5) Is Krush the leader of the Ninth Tride, or are they unrelated gangs?
Do you or Brandon know about a popular superhero Anime called My Hero Academia (åã®ã'ã¼ãã¼ã¢ã«ããã¢/Boku no HÄ«rÅ Akademia) by any chance?
Who attended La'gaan, Rodunn, and Coral's wedding?
How old is Minkis?
How old is Ondine?
How old is Rodunn?
How old is Ryus Nereus?
Are any of the young superheroes of Young Justice (TV Series) interested in watching Anime (A style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children)?
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.
What was Robotman's reaction to finding out Garfield was dating Queen Perdita?
I just noticed this, Paul Sloane and Steve Dayton weren't part of the intervention. I mean I can understand Mento's absence, but Paul. Was he just busy with Space Trek? If so some god father he is putting his career before the well being of his own God son.
Mr. Weisman,
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?
How and When did king Orin meet mera for the first time?
in Star Wars Rebels, Is Ezra Bridger dead or alive?
First of all, I just wanted to say that Iâm a huge fan of your work, specifically the Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice series. They helped me develop my love for heroes.
When did they find Cliff Steele/ Robotman alive?
1. What species of shark is Nanaue Shaâark? Likewise, whale for Blubber and squid for Topo?
2. Is Nanauve populated by shark people or something?
3. What is Nanauveâs style of warfare and conquest?
4. How did some Atlanteans become less human-like and more like humanoid aquatic life?
5. Does King Shaâark love to pillage and conquer other places?
Awhile ago, I suggested you were afraid to address the characters' spiritual beliefs in a direct manner. Having watched a bit more than half of Phantoms, I feel I was too hasty in making that remark.
do you know that glaad once honored bill clinton - the president who literally signed the defense of marriage act into law, used it as part of his re-election campaign, never apologized for it, and then when his wife ran for president, lied that it was a strategic move to prevent republicans from trying a constitutional amendment? oh, and he also instituted donât ask donât tell. and they honored him as an advocate for changeâ¦strange, isnât it?
they also backed the AT&T/T-Mobile deal years ago after taking donations from AT&T year ago - they got so much backlash from the gay community their leader had to resign. why would a gay rights organization even get involved in that deal, you ask? because they need to keep their corporate donors happy in order to function. this is why theyâre so quick to call out homophobia from conservatives but more reluctant to do so when it comes from liberals, who they rely on for press, policy changes, and donations.
my point is, they are not some flawless group of angels. they have done a lot of good, but there are a lot of politics at play. so just because glaad has signed off on something you did, doesnât mean they speak for the majority. if you have a significant number of people disagreeing with them, you should be open to listening instead of shutting them down.
how did the light react to the anti light? Did they find it amusing that the heroes were copying them?
Regarding the biometric scanners and designations for the Zeta-Tubes:
1. Did Doctor Fate's designation change after the vote to keep him in the League?
2. Does Doctor Fate's designation/scanner profile have to be changed every time Nabu takes a new host since biologically they're a different person? Or can the system detect Nabu himself and base the reading off of that?
2a. Would someone with a pre-existing designation (i.e. Zatanna) be able to use either their original, personal designation in addition to the one given to Fate?
I realize Fate's ability to teleport makes this a bit redundant, but I'm curious about how the Tubes work.
Who voiced Cooper in Insecurity?
Did Biggitz know he had a couple of stowaways?
What's your favorite alternate reality/universe/elseworld from the DC universe?
Not counting Young Justice of course
In Triptych, Livewire said that she could absorb electricity, but Black Lightning simply said that she never had his electricity before. All jokes aside, was there any actual reason she couldn't absorb his lightning?
Are any of the young heroes interested in playing cool card games like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Cardfight!! Vanguard, Future Card Buddyfight, etc?
How would you feel if Salli Richardson directed a live action Gargoyles movie?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 universe, is Stargirl's full name Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore?
It was stated by etrigan that his brother merlin cursed him into not attacking the heroes. So is the reason why etrigan attacked child because he was forced to by the curse and Jason blood? Or because he simply wanted a fight?
1) In season 2 before Despero attacks, Zatanna can be seen going through some of the recovered boxes from the cave. Was she still living there in year 5 before the cave blew up or did she just have some stuff remaining there? If she moved out, what city was she living in?
2) I was rewatching Artemis's arc in S4 and I noticed that Tigress, Orphan, Spoiler, Arrowette all have similarly patterned outfits (ignoring colors) around the waist and hip area. They all have that sort of side that ends at the waist and clip on utility belts. In particular, I noticed that Tigress in S2 had a strap belt but now uses the clip on belt. I looked up Batman and robin's S3 design and it's kinda the same thing, but with less contrasting colors. I was wondering if there was an in-show explanation for the similar uniforms. Like do the Bat and Arrow fam all get their uniforms from the same manufacturer? (If so who?) Like a base suit, which is then modified with colors and other things to customize for the wearer.
3) What's Nightwing's day job? I don't know if that was ever mentioned. Adding on to that, does he still have access to Wayne money if he asks for it or does Bruce set some money aside for him?
4) Do you know if there will be tie-in comics when S4 ends like the other seasons?
I want to thank you and all the people who worked on Young Justice. I remember discovering this show when I was around 10 and watching it constantly for years until it left Netflix. This show blew me away every time I saw it and I haven't seen a show like this since. Watching this show now as an adult, this show is still ridiculously good; better even, now that I understand the more mature themes and can spot subtext. I hope this show keeps running and you have the chance to share Young Justice's story to it's completion.
Has anyone ever dropped out of the Conservatory of Sorcery before? (aside from Kaldur)
Does Nigthwing have any kind of aversion to the date April 1st, due to that being the day his family was killed?
Do you prefer milk, dark, or white chocolate?
Although Miss Martian and Superboy were keeping their relationship a secret from the team were they more public when they were at school? I doubt they were keeping it a secret from their classmates, but were they?
Is Mercy human with a robot arm or is she just a robot? Also why doesn't she ever talk?
Were the rest of the team aware of Wally and Artemis budding romance like Conner and M'gann's?
what happened to Superboy's old motorcycle? After he got Sphere he never really used the old one anymore? Did he give it away or is in storage with the rest of the team's old cycles?
1 How would you descirbe childâs and flawâs relationship compared to klarion and teekl? Are they sort of friends or do they have more of a master and Servant relationship?
2 Child was pretty upset when flaw was destroyed since she could no longer remain on the mortal plane, but did she personally care that flaw had died?
If Lexington was standing next to you (Greg), hunched or straight, where would he come up to height-wise (ex. shoulders)? And how tall are you? I hope these aren't weird questions, but I thought this might be a better way to figure out his height than just eyeing estimates.
1 Why did the other chaos lords choose to give child a extra boost of power?
2 Why isnât it the lords of order way to give a similair boost of power to nabu?
3 Why didnât the other chaos lords give klarion a boost of power?
4 Klarion was on earth before dr fate and Arion existed. Why did the lords of order allow there to be a lord of chaos on earth without also having a agent of order on earth?
5 Since the reason savage called for a meeting with the lords of chaos was for them to withdraw their support of child. Why did savage also summon the lords of order when they had no influence on child and her actions?
In episode 4X3, Em'ree says "I didn't bother with a canopy at EITHER of my weddings". Does it mean that she got married, then got divorced, and then married again, or it means that she is in a polygamous relationship?
Are polygamy/poliamourous relationshps and divorce accepted in M'arzz?
When Ed is joining the Outsiders in episode 18 of season 3, he says "But the three of us were talking after the funeral." in reference to Bart and Jaime. Was that meant to imply that Ed also went to Joan's funeral, or that he met up with the two of them afterward?
How do you feel about the reception catwoman hunted has gotten?
Personally I really enjoyed it. It was one of my favorite dc content. I hope you get to make more animated movies in the future.
Did klarion have to choose another cat as his familiar after teekl died or could have chosen something different as his familiar?
how did the real b.i.f react to lady shiva and cassandra's attack on the hotel that was supposedly done in their name?
Consedering klarion at first thought that child was sent to back him up Why was he so scared when he sensed her arrival?
Did you get Tommy and Tuppence Terror's names from the detectives of the same name (minus the terror part, obviously) created by Agatha Christie?
Does the light simply pick members who have a large amount of influence in the world?
What led you and Brandon Vietti to decide that Sergeant Marvel should appear as an adult, rather than a teen, given that the latter appears to have been her classic appearance in the original Fawcett Comics? I know that Mary Marvel has gone through a number of different looks in the comic books (at times looking like a teen and at other times looking like a young adult) and therefore Iâm interested to know why you and Brandon Vietti went with a more âaged-upâ version of her, rather than one who looks significantly younger than Captain Marvel. I am not asking for in-universe spoilers - Iâm just wondering about the reasoning and thought process for yourselves as creators. I hope you can elaborate, please. As always, thank you and hope youâre having a good day!
Who gave Barbara her nickname Barb? Was it Dick Grayson who started calling her that first?
does black manta still desire to turn his son to his side or does he currently see it as hopeless to try?
Mr Weisman,
So after Superman returned to his and Lois' apartment in Metropolis, did Lois explain to him as to why Jonny was crying in the first place (and, as a matter of fact, what had happened anyway)? Also, did Lois get the chance to tease Clark about the fact that he came back home without his red boots (and presumably prompting him to blush red in embarrassment)? Finally, I assume that after Lois' explanation, Superman then got a call telling him the Javelin was ready to pick him and Martian Manhunter up and to take them both to Mars; prompting Superman to go back to the Watchtower (and to put his boots back on, of course)?
How old is Greg Vietti?
How old is Brandon Weisman?
In regards to the Outsiders:
#1. Is Wonder Girl's designation D-02 and Geo-Force's designation D-06; since they are two of the six founding members of the Outsiders?
#2. As a result of his actions in the Season 3 finale, has Geo-Force been locked out of the Zeta Tube designation system and can therefore no longer use the Zeta Tube even if he wants to?
Designation questions
1. Since Teekl was with Klarion on the Watchtower, does that mean they had a designation as well? Did they have an A or C designation? I know you don't like to give those out here, but presumably, if Teekl had a designation, they would have been removed just like Klarion and Vandal's, so that would exempt them from your rule.
2.For the D-series, we are missing three designations. D-02, D-06 and D-08, which would have to be either Cassie, Brion or Cyborg(unless I am missing someone) Now, both Cassie and Brion were founding members of the Outsiders and Cyborg joined them later. He definitely can't be D-02 and D-07 is Eduardo who was on the team before Cyborg. So, by process of elimination, we can say that Cyborg is D-08?
3.Maybe this is a spoiler, but the D-designations didn't go into service until after Brion left the Outsiders. So, does mean he does not have a D-designation?
4.Designations are incremental based on the order people join their respective groups. In the case of the League, the first 7 are based on the order in which each hero arrived during the invasion. And for the B designations, the first order is based on the number of years they were active as heroes. E.g Robin is B-01 because he was a sidekick the longest, followed by Kaldur and Wally. So, what was the order for the Outsiders D designations? Beast Boy gets D-01, which makes sense, he founded the group, but how did they decide the order for the rest of the initial joiners?
5.I understand that this is hypothetical to the point of being moot, but what would happen if they run out of letters for destinations?
When did Lucas shave his beard?
1 how does vandal savage view his son as dr fate?
2 does vandal savage feel regret for his actions resulting in nabuâs death as a human and has he ever attempted to apologize to nabu about it?

You have worked for the big two, DC and Marvel. Are there any properties from smaller comic companies you would be interested in adapting, like hellboy, spawn etc?
In regards to the Justice League's battle against the Appellaxians:
#1. Where exactly on Earth did the battle take place?
#2. How did the Appellaxians' attempted invasion attracted each hero's attention to the site of the battle?
#3. How long did the battle against the Appellaxians lasted?
#4. How long into the battle did the heroes learn that only way to win was for them to work together as a team; assuming that it did not happen right away when the heroes first came together?
#5. How were the heroes able to determine what the weaknesses of the Appellaxians were?
How did Elisa regain her memory after she suffered amnesia in Sentinel? She was still suffering from her amnesia at the end and by the next episode she was back to normal? What helped her to finally remember everything?
In YJ 2x16 when the mind image/flashback of Kaldur fake stabbing Artemis is shown, the water sword goes around her Quiver. Why is this? Would the fact that she was supposedly stabbed through, but her quiver was undamaged or even unmarked not arouse any suspicion?
Since Dingo reformed in the Walkabout is it safe to say he becomes friends/allies with Goliath, Elisa, Angela and Bronx?
Dear Mr Weisman i have some Young justice questions for you 1. How old is Isis (the justice league heroine not the other Isis)and how long has she been with the League? 2. Did the Phantom Stranger ever consider bringing Hawk man or hawk girl (yes i know her hero name is Hawkwoman in earth 16) to help Zatanna Dr fate and the others Fight Child as Nth Metal is supposed to be effective against magic or does the Thanagar 16 nth metal not work that way?
What is the sad song Artemis is listening to in the car in 4x05? I tried Shazaming it, but I couldn't get anything is it original, and if so will it be released? Thanks

We did see Blue Devil acting as den mother to the outsiders. Is that a permanent post, or do other leaguers rotate in? If so, with what frequency?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Icon:
#1. When exactly was he born?
#2. Is the name of his homeworld Terminus and, as such, he is a Terminan?
#3. Because he arrived on Earth as an infant in 1810, he was adopted and raised by the Freeman family, correct?
#4. Because he's lived on Earth for over 200 years, does that mean he's used his secret identity name of Augustus Freeman for four human generations as Augustus Freeman I, II, III, and IV; with Augustus Freeman IV being his current human alias in the present day?
1. Were the shutdown phrases for Superboy, Red Arrow, and Guardian (Jim Harper) voice-specific? (For example, if someone other than Lex said "red sun" to Superboy, would it have worked?)
2. Sportsmaster was Red Arrow's handler, and it seems like Lex was Superboy's, so who was Guardian's handler?
3. What was Jim Harper's shutdown phrase? It looks like it was used on him in 1x26.
When Miss Martian's abuse of power in season 2 was finally revealed was she ever reported or reprimanded by the Team or Justice League for her actions? Was she ever punished for her actions or put on probation?
When was Forager born?
When was Mantis born?
In regards to Joan Garrick...
#1. What was the reason why she was hospitalized in the first place before she eventually passed away? Was it illness, or Jay found her collapsed on the floor at their home, or was there another reason?
#2. What was the decision to have pass away in Season 3 at the age of 96; as opposed to around or after the age of 100 (which is an age some people have reached in real life)?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Arrowette:
#1. Is her full name Suzanne "Cissie" King-Jones?
#2. Is her mother's name Bonnie King?
#3. How many years did she trained in archery before joining the Team in 2017?
#4. Is her father aware of her superhero activities?
#5. When she saw Green Arrow and Artemis again (presumably after many years), did she ever thanked them for saving her father's life?
When did Dudley take in Billy?
I was wondering the way Conner and M'gann got back together... was that always how you intended for them to reconcile their relationship or did you have any other ideas in mind?
Doesn't the public find Lex Luthor and Godfrey to be hypocrites since they actively supported the Reach prior to their exposure?
Why did you decide to break up Miss Martian and Superboy in season 2? Was this just to further challenge and strengthen their relationship. I can understand why since they are the main couple and have gone through more challenges and obstacles than any other romance on the show. Still I loved to know your thoughts about what you thought of the couple and their future at the time.
Why did Beast Boy choose Cassie to replace him as the leader of the Outsiders while he was on Mars and during his depression ?
1 What influenced your decision to make rictus female?
2 Does the light consider sportsmaster a target after attacking black manta?
Love young justice watched it since I was a kid.
Is Artemisâs dog named Brucley or Bruce Li cuz I feel like those names are easy for people writing Wikipedia pages to mix up.
I know that before the events of the last episode of YJ Season 3 the Justice League got restrained in dealing with problems, even with helping with humanitarian efforts after disasters, thanks to restrictions placed by the United Nations ever since Lex Luthor became UN Secretary-General. But did the League ever think of trying to expose him for his criminal activities in the first place so that he can be removed from his position and maybe even arrested?
Note: I thought of this from that episode of Young Justice Season 2 called "Summit" in which the Reach finally got exposed for their evil nature after the young heroes got the evidence they needed to do so and it didn't take years to do that. Plus after remembering Benson Fuhrman (Who's real last name is Hairmore) from an episode of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated Season 2 called "Scarebear".
https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/Benson_Fuhrman
Should there be a Teen Titans or Young Justice in the DC Extended Universe? Because I think it would be pretty interesting if either one of those young superhero teams were to appear in it.
How well does Superboy fight underwater?
1. Why didn't Superboy report Miss Martian's abuse of power in season 2 after they broke up?
2. When M'gann apologised to Conner on the Bio-Ship for what she tried to do to him was that the first time she apologised for what she had done. From the sounds of it it sure seems like it?
3. Are Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris a couple?
4. When M'gann and Conner eventually got back together when did they let everyone know? Was it right away or did they keep it a secret for while like when they first got together?
When Artemis agreed to fake her death back in season 2 I keep wondering how and why would she agree to particate in that kind of mission, letting everyone. Friends, family, teammates etc think she was dead. What she said at the start of the episode, âI'm needed nowâ, she acted like this was a typical mission when it wasn't.
What are those rock display in the M'orzz home on Mars? Do M'gann's parents collect them and if so why? I always wondered about that?
Also is that the home where M'gann grew up and if so how did they managed to house at least 30 kids!?
Who else attended Wally's funeral?
Was Beast Boy an actor yet?
Why do you decide to make Miss Martian bald in season 3?
1 - Where was Artemis when Dick was exposed to the X-Pit. Everyone went to the Premiere Building after learning the news, except Artemis? Where was she and why didn't she come?
2 - When news about the Anti-Light were exposed and M'gann and Conner were arguing what exactly were they saying?
How did Nightwing managed to keep everyone at bay in regards to Miss Martian's kidnapping? I'm curious that clearly everyone would want to rescue M'gann from Black Manta and she was held hostage for 2 months from April to the end of May. How could Nightwing handle the sitaution to those who didn't know the truth that M'gann was restoring Kaldur's mind without comprising the deep cover mission?
Did darkseid order granny goodness to become a member of the light or did she volunteer herself? If it is the latter then why?
Mr. Weisman,
Assuming Metron considers the Fatherbox to be his "son" and the Motherbox to be his "daughter" due to regarding Cyborg and Halo to be his "grandchildren," then how old would both the Fatherbox and Motherbox be in terms of human biological years?
Was M'gann planning on taking Conner's last name once they were married? or was she planning to hyphenate? M'gann Kent or M'gann M'orzz-Kent?
Also is it the same with Lois? Is she Lois Kent, Lois Lane-Kent or just the same old Lois Lane?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Vandal Savage:
#1. Since he was born around 48,000 BCE, that would've during the time of the Late Stone Age (Upper Paleolithic), correct?
#2. Was he born in what would eventually be known as the Perigord Noir region of France?
#3. In regards to the cave bear that attacked him, is it from the same species of cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) that would become extinct in Europe by around 24,000 BCE?
#4. When the meteor that gave Vandal his immortality crashed on Earth, where exactly on the planet did this take place; assuming that it was not in the same region in which he was born?
#5. Just like in pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (New Earth), was he a member of the Blood Tribe (even though the tribe would probably likely consist entirely of Homo sapiens on Earth-16; as opposed to Neanderthals, like in the comics), and did he inherit the name Vandar Adg after the death of his own father (who previously held the name)?
Has Jamie ever introduced Traci to Tye?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Light...
#1. I am assuming the "ancient" incarnation of "The Light" only consisted of Vandal Savage and any and all of his descendants of his bloodline over the millennia who willingly joined his cause?
#2. I am assuming that Vandal Savage (L-1) and Ra's al Ghul (L-2) became co-founders of the "modern" incarnation of "The Light" after their conversation with each other (which took place at some point between 2006 to 2007), and the other original members (L-3 through L-7) were then invited one by one in the years that followed?
Questions in regards to the Earth-16 version of Lex Luthor:
#1. Is his full name Alexander Joseph "Lex" Luthor?
#2. Is his mother's name Lillian, Arlene, Letitia, or Leticia Luthor?
#3. Are he and Jimmy Olsen distant cousins; like in the post-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity?
#4. When exactly was he invited to join The Light?
#5. Because of the Starro-tech, does he now know that Clark Kent is Superman and, if so, has that changed anything in regards to his animosity towards Superman (assuming it happens in the Earth-16 universe)?
Did Martian Manhunter know Miss Martian was really a White Martian when they first met? If so was he okay with letting her pose as a Green Martian?
Hey Mr. Weisman,
Since Marvel Studios is reviving the 1992 "X-Men" TV Series as "X-Men '97" on the Disney Plus streaming service in 2023, in your honest opinion, do you think that Marvel Studios should also revive "The Spectacular Spider-Man" TV series at some point in the future? Have you ever considered contacting Marvel Studios to discuss the possible idea?

Mr. Weisman,
I want to thank you so much for clearing up the matter on the designation numbers for the members of The Light. I had read your response that you did on March 14, 2022, and I had read your thorough explanation on it. So now, whenever new members join the ranks of The Light, it should hopefully be much easier to keep track who comes and goes from this point onwards... assuming the next time-skip that occurs in the series does not complicate things...

Hi Greg, I hope you're well! I have a few questions related to the everyday life of the Manhattan clan.
1. When they lived in the Clocktower, how did they get food? Did Elisa simply buy them groceries? Did they ... take what they needed... from nearby supermarkets? Something else?
2. In the clocktower, did they take turns doing chores to maintain the place, like cleaning/dusting, washing dishes, etc.? If so, did they have a schedule or just did things as needed?
3. Did Broadway do all or most of the cooking, or did the others also cook sometimes?
Thank you!
Since Conner works from out of his home as a motorcycle mechanic does this mean he is his own boss and doesn't work under anyone. In short, does Conner have his own motorcycle business?
I'm confused about Em'ree. She was the only one of M'gann's siblings who was willing to attend her and Conner's wedding, but at the same time, she also showed she wasn't entirely supportive from their argument in episode 3. In short did Em'ree really support or approve of relationship?
Also did her views really changed when Conner died and she saw how heartbroken M'gann was over his death?
By 2020 do Artemis, Nightwing, Superboy and Miss Martian still have the option of joining the Justice League?
Why did Conner decide to join the Outsiders
Why was Artemis chosen to lead the team inside of Dick?
In regards to the mention of Superman mistaking Captain Marvel as being a Kryptonian in "Agenda", I figured it's (mostly) referring to some of the surface similarities between the two.
Was that by chance also a reference to Supes believing Power Girl to be Kryptonian, but she really wasn't at least following "Crisis On Infinite Earths"?
Have you and Brandon Vietti watched or heard of a Japanese animated film (created by Mamoru Hosoda and produced by Studio Chizu) called Belle (2021 film)ð¼ð¶ by any chance? I'm just being curious.
1. What year did Conner and M'gann move into the apartment above Lucas Carr's house?
2. What year did M'gann become a student counselor at Happy Harbour High School?
If Season 2 had 26 episodes instead of 20, would one of those 6 additional episodes had feature Miss Martian and Superboy getting back together on the show instead of in the comics? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the comics and again THANK You for reunting Supermartian in them, but sometimes I wonder what would it be like to actually hear the actors voice the lines and to actually hear the song play. Also what is the official name of the song that M'gann sang in the Torch song comic where she expressed her sorrow and regret/her love for Conner.
Hi, Greg.
There is a part of me that feels badly for levelling any criticism against you or Young Justice because I'm just glad we got a season 3 and a season 4 and, hopefully, a season 5. But, I'm going to do it anyways.
The still-scenes really bug me. It seems to me that there were a lot of them in Phantoms part 1. If they are there to lighten the workload for the beleaguered animators then why not give them a few more months to work on the show? Yes, I would like more Young Justice as soon as possible, but I'm also prepared to be patient and wait for higher quality work. I'm sure there are other fans who feel the same way.
Or, is it not that simple?
Is ultra humanite still interested in experimenting on halo and cyborg?
When did Troia become Wonder Woman's sidekick?
When I was checking out some info about the characters of Young Justice in TV Tropes I found this on La'gaan/Lagoon Boy (Shown Below).
"The Friend Nobody Likes: Heâs constantly berated for being whiny, constantly ruining the mission, and he can be found unbearable. Even those who he usually doesnât interact with have clear implications that they dislike him for some reason (Take Beast Boy who's a Shipper on Deck for M'gann and Superboy). Aqualad is probably the only one who likes him."
I know that La'gaan sort of had a bad attitude and not completely a friendly guy (Nor completely bad either), but did all of members of the Team really hated him completely and that Kaldur might be the only one who likes him? I know that Superboy and Beast Boy didn't really like him, but I did think everyone one else hated him that much.
Hello Greig.
Fisrtable i gotta say that you're an amazing cartoon writter, i have enjoyed Young Justice and Spectacular Spiderman in special.
My question is:

With no more questions i want to thank you for your time!
What year and month did Tula and Garth become a couple?
Did Kaldur ever stand a chance at getting together with Tula before she got together with Garth?
Did Tula have any feelings for Kaldur or did she always see him as just a friend?
Did Tula know about Kaldur's feelings for her based on her brief talk with Garth in Downtime?

In what year and month did Robin and Wonder Girl break up and to confirm was Wonder Girl the one who ended the relationship?
Does Robin ever regret not telling Wonder Girl the truth about the Anti-Light team and keeping her in the dark?
Prior to their trouble in season 3, what were they like as a couple in general since we know very little about them due to their lack of screentime?
Do you ever wish they had more development in their romance and if you had the chance what would you include to expand on their relationship?

When did Zatanna take Traci on as a protege?
Are their any couples on Young Justice you wish you had more screentime for like Red Arrow and Cheshire, Mal and Karen or Robin and Wonder Girl? If you could expand on their relationships/romantic storylines would you include for them? Also do you think there's a chance for a eventual reunion for Red Arrow and Cheshire.
What have you enjoyed most about the challenges for the couples romantic journeys? Which ones are your favourites and what made you decide on these kind of obstacles for the couples?
Have you ever wished that Young Justice could do a crossover with another DC cartoon? Example: do a crossover with Justice League Unlimited from the DCAU? I know the series has long since ended, but if you had the chance what would you do for a crossover? What characters would you include and what would the plot be about?
Hi Greg
miss m is seen holding people in mid air but is her Telekinesis strong enough to grab and hold superboy in mid air? If yes how long she could keep it before superboy realase himself? A few seconds? minutes?
And could she do some real damage to superboy like breaking his bones or tearing apart his limbs with Telekinesis?
Great show by the way
Thank you all
Hello Mr.Weisman
I have a question about miss martian Telepathy
,ms.martian can easily brain Blast people that will cause great pain and may leave them Unconscious (as seen in Se1 Ep21 when Megan brain Blast conner,dick and wally so they can't find out her true form) so why doesn't Ms. Martian use this more? She could have ended lots of fights in the first place with this ability and I think her reluctance to use this ability has nothing to do with her fear of hurting people because conner,dick and wally woke up unharmed and only with a headache.
I know you are very busy but I hope you can answer my question
Thank you
Hi Greg ! Hope you're fine !
1)What use is Belle Reve prison if anybody can enter and escape by boom-tubing in and out, like Vertigo at the end of season 3 ?
2) Don't you think it's a little too simple to suppress anybody's powers with a simple collar ?
3) Megan in season 2 didn't have any powers except telepathy in the submarine, so how come she hadn't been forced to take her true martian form ? 'cause the collar should have suppressed her transforming power too at that point.
4)Could there be a collar for Darkseid ? If they work on martians and kryptonians and so on, why not on him ? :)
5)Don't you find it a little nonsensical that Vandal (a human being) had to remind to the lords of chaos and order (immortal beings that are essential to the universe) their ONLY JOB (keeping the balance in the universe), which btw they do since 16 billions years ? I mean, what else are they supposed to do then !? I gotta admit I thought they were dummies at this moment ^^
But, to your credit, that gives a nice feeling of mythological poetry (full of nonsense but great to tell).
Vandal is probably the most interesting character on the show, that's impressive how you guys managed to make him so well !!! So clever, so mysterious, so powerful... And he's neither all bad or all good, he represents the human race, like a dark guardian angel taking care of the Earth !
Thanks for this show, that's a real gem I could watch a hundred times !
Does Earth-16 Doctor Fate keep the souls of previous wearers of the Helmet of Fate in the Amulet of Anubis like Earth-1? I remember that Kent's soul 'stuck around' with Nabu for a while until Nabu released him in "Misplaced" for speaking out against keeping Zatanna, but in "Teg Ydaer!" during Zatara's plea to Nabu all of the previous (on screen) wearers appear in the dimension with them in a ghostly form. Or am I just reading too much into it?
Hey Greg! This definitely isnât meant to be hostile and I hope it doesnât come across that way, but Iâm curious why you donât answer questions about characterâs sexuality on the basis of no spoilers, but you will answer questions about, say, Bruce or Artemisâ eye colors, or Traciâs ethnicity. Why is a characterâs sexuality a bigger spoiler to reveal than any other surface level descriptor of them? Obviously asking something like âis Tim going to end up dating Bernardâ is a spoiler request, but asking âis Tim Drake bisexualâ doesnât feel like one, at least to me. Generally the rule for spoilers on here is that you donât want to tell a story here, but why is clarifying someoneâs sexuality a story whereas clarifying other surface details not?
We never got the chance to see, but what colours did Superboy's eyes turn with the spy/dark tech lenses?
Are the rest of the light aware of how and when klarion and savage met?
Was there a reason Red Torpedo didn't speak in Humanity? You had Jeff Bennet in the cast, after all.
1. Do you know about that popular fast food restaurant chain in the DC Universe called Big Belly Burger?
2. If so is there any Big Belly Burger restaurants in Young Justice (TV Series)?
3. Would any of the young heroes be interested in eating at Big Belly Burger?
4. Is there any family entertainment center and restaurant pizza chain in USA of Young Justice (TV Series) that's a parody of Chuck E. Cheese's?
After the granny goodness situation are the light still willing to accept certain members of darkseidâs inner circle as potential light members if there is a vacant seat or are they all banned from joining the light now?
In the past, you said at the end of Young Justice season 1, there were 179 name DC characters and at the end of Young Justice Invasion, the total increased to 241.
1. What was the total number of name DC characters at the end of Young Justice: Outsiders?
2. What is/was the total number of name DC characters at the end of Young Justice: Phantoms?
3. In December 2021, you said there were 759 name DC characters in an Ask Greg reply. That appears to factor in characters that were only mentioned. That seems like a very big jump from 241 at the end of Invasion to the end of Phantoms. Did the previous totals you cited for season 1 and season 2 ignore characters that were only mentioned?
4. Regarding your totals per season, I would like to ask for clarification on how you factor in the name DC characters that appear in the comic books and in the Legacy video game. Like for example, for Issue #0 to Issue #19 and the first Free Comic Day comic, were those added to the season 1 count of 179, were those in Issue #20 to #25 and from Legacy added to the Invasion count of 241, and the Torch Song digital comic included in the Outsiders count?
Is Zatanna closer to Artemis or Raquel?
Since retiring from the Team where do Karen and Mal live? Do they live in Ivy Town or Happy Harbour? Also who are the godparents to their daughter?
I know they are young adults, but did Dick and Kaldur ever receive some kind of punishment for keeping everyone in the dark about the deep cover mission? They lied to everyone and did commit some serious acts like kidnapping members of the Team, putting others in danger and blew up Mount Justice?! Undercover mission or not I just don't understand how they could just get away free without so much as reprimanding?
In regards to Eduardo, I just realized that in Episode 16 of Young Justice Outsiders, Virgil makes reference to himself as a 7th wheel... I don't want to say more, to avoid a very minor "spoiler?"
1) I'm curious as to how subtle that was meant to be?
2) Also, as implied, is he out to just the team? To the heroes? Or to the world in general? (Or is he not out to them at all, and Virgil is just guessing?)
Honestly. I'm kind of surprised no one's asked about this yet, though I guess I did just notice it today.
Thank you so much for an amazing S4. I'm really hoping we can keep the binge going to help get S5.
1. I'm wondering if you've given any thought to any of the souvenirs that Wally and by extension Garfield got during Team Year 1-5. Not asking for specifics, just if you and Brandon thought about it.
2-4. You mentioned that you're more willing to confirm defunct designations like Bart's original A Designation. You also confirmed Ed and Vic had temporary B designations before the D Designations came into play.
2. Was Vic's Outsider Designation D-08?
3. Was Vic's temporary B Designation B-35?
4. Was Ed's temporary D Designation B-34?
5. Was Brion retroactively given a D Designation that was never put into use in order for the members that followed him to maintain accuracy in the number scheme for the designations?
If you could go back in time when you wrote season 1 is there anything about the light you would change or add?
Who attended Raquel's wedding?
Why didn't you let Conner and M'gann kiss at the end of Season 2 that tortured the Supermartian fans for 6 Years!!!
Has any other girl tried to make a move on Superboy (flirt, ask him on a date etc) and if so how does he handle it? Everyone knows heâs attractive and so does he. Did a lot of girls try and get his attention when he and Miss Martian were broken up (like say off-screen or on Collage campus)?
Not too long ago or at least as of 2020 up to now, I got around to articles on Gargwiki of properties referenced in Gargoyles, made a reference to it or both. Basically from DuckTales (both 1987 & 2017) to Kim Possible to Amphibia.
Aladdin of course being among them, and relating to that...
1. So while Puck's mentioning of Aladdin's lamp was made to reference the Disney show from the same time, as I noted was more in line with the original telling. In which the Lamp Genie had no real limits for the most part. And for those reading this post, there were indeed two genies in some versions of the story, including the Ring Genie.
So did Owen ever watch the Disney film Aladdin, or is his knowledge based on the previous versions?
2. On that note, you ever watch any of those other animated takes on Aladdin? I actually did see the version myself from Bevanfield as a babysitter of mine had kids who owned it on VHS.
3. Now the Aladdin article was something I did initially cause of The Mirror along with the comic making references to the Disney version, but one bit of tidbit that came to my attention.
Well I wasn't unaware of the time, The Animal Kingdom from Aladdin was pretty similar to The New Olympians episode. Mainly Aladdin being in the place of Elisa. Only difference being that TAK is a one off which ends with more of a feeling that the residents of the village might be able to trust more humans in the future.
The thing catching my notice more recently was both episodes besides their shared story is Michael Dorn voicing a character reluctant to trust either Elisa or Aladdin.
Any chance that TNO inspired the Aladdin episode, especially since the spinoff/series was in planning before Gargoyles?
What year did Raquel get married and more importantly who did she marry?
Who's your favorite Season 4 main villain?
Ma'alefa'ak
Lady Shiva

1. What is the relationship like between Superman and Miss Martian since they were about to become in-laws?
2. How did Superman feel about Conner and M'gann's break up in season 2? Did Conner confide in him about what happen and did Clark ever enourage or advise him to reconcile with M'gann?
1) How come Tye, Asami, and Arsenal (Roy Harper) weren't invited to the Harvest Festival that took place in the episode "Illusion of Control". Shouldn't those three still be friends with Ed and Virgil after the events of Young Justice Season 2?
2) What was Roy Harper doing during the events of "Illusion of Control"? Was he celebrating Thanksgiving in his own way or was he doing something else?
3) Would Arsenal (Roy Harper) be interested in having a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3?
https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold3-5g/
Who would you say is Conner's male best friend? We know his best friend in general is M'gann obviously since he said so in the Torch Song comic, but who would you say is his closest male friend?
do you guys consider zodiac signs as a factor to determine the characters' birthdays? I find it interesting how both Dick and Connor have some traits from their respective signs
How did Conner and Mal become friends since they got off to a rocky start?
Is Blue Beetle's armor stronger and way more powerful than the Iron Man Armor: Mark L (Avengers: Infinity War) and the Iron Man Armor: Mark LXXXV (Avengers: Endgame)? Hypothetically speaking of course.
1 both black manta and ocean master are villains who specialized in water and had a grudge against Aquaman. Did the light pick black manta to replace ocean master because of these similarities or was that just a coincidence?
2 You stated that the light picked ocean master as a member because if he could become king of Atlantis they would have control of 3/4 of the globe. So after ocean masters expulsion did the light still have plans to take over Atlantis or did they just lose interest?
3 Would the light be willing to expand their ranks to more than 7 seats if the situation called for it?
Who are your favorite members of the light?(both current and past)
Hi Greg! I appreciate you Brandon and everyone else who works on S4. Iâm a big fan of Chalant & SuperMartian. Do you have a favorite young justice character and if so who? Thanks again for all your hard work and & I canât wait for the second part.
When did Ted Grant become Wildcat?
When did Wildcat join the Justice Society?
Did the real T.O. Morrow act on his own initiative to destroy the Justice Society, or did he do it at someone else's behest?
How is Professor Ivo capable of eluding telepathic probing and which telepath did he face before?
Don't you think that you're dangerously falling into silly positive discrimination by making so many characters bisexuals or LGBT ? I mean, that's really taking huge proportions in YJ and I find it to be pretty disappointing and worrying...
You said in a precedent answer that "maybe you weren't woke enough", but precisely, woke is only reverse discrimination,
don't you think ?
With all due respect !
How did the Terror Twins get their powers?
This might be a really weird question, but... how did Bio-Ship feel about Conner and M'gann's break up in season 2 since basically she had a front row seat to the two of them discussing their break up in Depths! That was just so heartbreaking and since Bio-Ship can communicate with M'gann, did she express any opinions to her about the situation with Conner and her powers?
How did Superman and Martian Manhunter feel about Superboy and Miss Martian getting married and the fact they were about to become in-laws themselves? J'onn and Clark becoming in-laws since his niece and his brother were about ready to become husband and wife?
Does Wizard call himself a wizard as opposed to a sorcerer like Wotan, because he studies spells like a scholar would building aptitude over time?
Likewise would a sorcerer call him/herself a sorcerer/sorceress because it is more of an art for them like being able to sing or draw art really well? In previous answers you said they were like synonyms but what I laid out is the Dungeons and Dragons/fantasy explanation and I was wondering if on Earth 16 practitioners would follow a similar train of thought?
1. While the situation on Earth was atypical and agreed on by both sides, what would the Lords of Order do in a similar situation to balance the scales when Chaos was giving extra power like they did with the Child? Nabu said it was not their way to directly give power but surely they would want to balance scales or am I being too hopeful of said Lords of Order?
2. Was that spell that Wizard used in S4 EP 12 a reference to Gentleman Ghost or a coincidence? And what exactly was that spell he was using?
3. What type of magic does Wizard specialize in?
What caused Jefferson Pierce and Lynn to divorce?
I'm curious, did you ever nail down an age for the Reach Ambassador? Reach Scientist? Even just a rough equivalent age?
Thank you.
Hi Greg, Iâve been a long term follower of Young Justice, and I just want to say thank you for creating such an amazing show.
1. What constitutes into what Beast Boy is able to turn into, like does something he turns into have to be considered an animal species, or can he turn into a humanoid version of an animal? Could he turn into a green version of King Shaâark or something
2. In seasons 1&2 when Jâonn or Bâarrz used their psychic powers, their eyes would glow red and opposed to Mâgann and Mâcommâs glowing green, but in Season 4 Jâonnâs eyes glow green, is there a specific reason this change?
Hey Mr. Weisman, I was wondering if Mal and Karen got married during the time skip During young justice: outsiders
How could the team have a funeral for Wally since his body evaporated? His body ceased so how could they still have a funeral with an empty casket? Despite that where is Wally buried. Is it next to Joan Garrick in Central City?
How long does it usually take for a vacht light seat to be filled? Granny goodness was replaced quickly, but it took a while for ocean master to be replaced with black manta
Was there a reason Dr. Fate didn't speak in War? You had Kevin Michael Richardson in the cast, after all.
Did Detective Daniels survive Harm's attack?
So in both Elder Wisdom and one of the audio plays you did where The Team tries to recruit Peter Parker, it's mentioned or implied that members of the Team have to have a parent or guardian sign off on their joining. Is this a literal signing off, and if so, who's the lawyer who draws up the forms?
Why exactly did Dick and Kaldur need Artemis specifically for the deep cover mission? Why her exactly and not anybody else? What could she bring to the table to help them with their mission?
On what day and month exactly did Garfield and Superman returned to Earth following their trip on Mars?
There's been less talk of it in season 4, but how is the Meta human trafficking problem? Is it still a big issue or has it more or less been stopped?
Has the Justice League reconsidered dedicating the shrines of their fallen heroes in the Hall of Justice once its finished being rebuilt?
Does Gregor have the metagene and any Earth powers, or is he just a baseline human?
You said you check the YJ Wiki often. How often? And how reliable is the information there?
Personally, I think it's fascinating that creators visit fan sites.
1. Prior to their visit in Season 4, how often does M'gann keep in touch with her parents? Also how does she contact them?
2. Was it a hard decision when you decided to blow up Mount Justice?
3. There's something that's been bugging me. When Wally and Artemis left the Team prior to season 2, they still had their Zeta privileges, but yet when Jeff resigned in season 3, Kaldur revoked his access. How come Wally and Artemis got to keep theirs, but Jeff couldn't?
4. When was the rest of the Team allowed access to the Watchtower in Season 2? At the start only seniors members were allowed, but when was everyone else allowed access?
5. Who current and previous residents living at the Watchtower right now?
When Outsiders first aired on DCâs defunct streaming service, from what I saw, a significant portion of the fandom did not like Halo as Muslim representation, non binary representation, or as a character in general. Iâm not sure how much of this you saw at the time since from what I remember, ask Greg was closed for a long time and the viewership was smaller than on HBO Max. I think the people who felt most strongly against it simply stopped watching and interacting in online spaces. And thatâs why you donât see as much criticism about it. Though from what Iâve seen, the opinion does persist in certain parts of the fandom, but people love the show so much they look past it. The fact that MPAC is so supportive of Halo goes to show that they *are* out of touch with a significant number of fans. I donât know much about them, but perhaps theyâre not as familiar with issues in comic books compared to film media? Maybe they didnât see the backlash since it was restricted to certain places like Tumblr, Reddit, and YouTube? I donât know, but the fact is that there is a good amount of people who disagree with them, not just one or two, and they seemingly missed it and didnât warn you. Same goes for Halo as non binary representation, you seemed caught off guard that some people didnât like it, so maybe you need to diversify your sources. Saying that is not âinsultingâ the people who work at these places. I am entitled to my own opinion and my whole point was, YOU do not have the right to tell me that Iâm wrong to feel the way I do because someone who works at MPAC or GLAAD feels differently. People disagree about whether characters are good or bad representation all the time, just because one person likes it does not mean everyone will. Ideally, youâd be open to multiple sources of feedback instead of one. But you do not have to listen to me or anyone else, I would just like if you would stop using these institutions to shoot down anyone else who has a different opinion. My whole point was, stop responding like that and just let people feel the way they feel, let people have debates and critically analyze the media they consume freely, stop getting so defensive. I literally never said I had a problem with Khalid using magic, I never told you that you canât create diverse characters as a white man - I said you as a white man donât have the right to tell someone else that their opinion is wrong because you donât know where theyâre coming from, I never expressed a desire to âdrive you off Twitter.â I actually used to think young justice had some of the best diversity, I just think you missed the mark with Halo. The ramble you posted had nothing to do with what I was trying to say, you falsely assumed I was only referring to Khalid (I donât feel strongly about him one way or another, but he at least was an improvement). Maybe I couldâve been clearer, but maybe you also shouldnât have made such a big assumption and responded while you were angry.
Bye Greg.
1. What are the singing voices of the original Team like? Specially who is a good or bad singer?
2. What are the original Team's favourite genres for music and TV?
1. How much does Conner and Garfield know about M'gann's other siblings?
2. What were Superboy's thoughts on the tension between M'gann and her siblings such as Em'ree?
3. Did Lucas and Bethany have an actual wedding or did they get married at city hall? Also who served as Best Man and Maid of Honor? Was it Conner and M'gann?
4. Where the rest of M'gann siblings since they refused to attend the wedding?
5. What were the reactions of M'gann's brothers and sisters after finding out about Superboy's death and M'comm's actions?
I'm curious how did M'gann pull off throwing a surprise birthday party for Conner on board Bio-Ship? Where would they get the supplies? Did the party only include her, J'onn and Garfield or did any of their friends join via hologram or video call?
I actually rounded up some examples of you using MPAC and GLAAD to dismiss criticism, since I know you'll try to pretend you've never done that even though the evidence is right here on your own blog:
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=24804
Right here you say -We've been working with MPAC (the Muslim Public Affairs Council), GLAAD and OUT on these plotlines. They are aware of our long term plans for Halo and have been extremely supportive. This suggests to me that the response you speak of isn't monolithic. So I'll admit it has been hard for me to apologize for things, which I believe, in the long term, will be appreciated by the Muslim and LGBTQ+ communities.-
Do you SERIOUSLY NOT SEE how you're using these organizations' support to dismiss what the asker was bringing up??? You think that because those organizations liked it, all of your fans that were unhappy with the choices you made were wrong and would come around once they understood your vision. Do you not see how you're basically saying the opinions of MPAC and GLAAD are more valid than your fans? And this was not one person, this was MULTIPLE people. If a significant portion of your fans are reaching out to you about something and your response is -well MPAC/GLAAD said its fine- then you are invalidating what they are saying.
You also say -It sincerely makes me feel awful that I've "hurt my fans in the LGBT+ community". I AM truly sorry about that. But I know for a fact that I didn't hurt ALL my fans in that community. Because I've talked to a bunch of them. Not on Twitter or on ASK GREG but in real life.-
First of all, of course you didnt hurt ALL your LGBT fans because not everyone has the same opinion, that doesnt change the fact that you did upset some; but you used the fact that some people werent upset as if it cancels out the people who were upset. Secondly, did you ever consider the fact that the people in your real life may pull their punches because they know you? Or did you ever consider that you may have a limited scope of the LGBT community through the people you know and maybe you should try to get a variety of perspectives before dismissing something?
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=24738
Your response was better here, but you still felt the need to bring up that MPAC likes your long term plans and suggest the asker simply didnt understand your vision and would eventually like it. Just because MPAC likes your longterm plans doesnt mean this asker, or every Muslim fan, will too.
And because you took such offense to me suggesting that Hollywood orgs like MPAC/GLAAD can sometimes be out of touch with everyday people (btw, I am both Muslim and gay and I am speaking for myself. I feel they can be disconnected from what the youth are talking about. That is how I feel. No org is perfect or above criticism. Youre not a part of either community, so how would you even know what Im referring to? I mean, you couldve asked instead of flying off the handle, but we're past that). I would like to call attention to this issue with Halo:
https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=24450
Did no one at MPAC bring this issue to your attention and warn you that this could bring a negative response? This is literally one of the biggest issues female and POC characters face in comics and media in general. I think any young POC fan wouldve told you this. If they truly did not advise you against graphically killing Halo multiple times, then I think this goes to show that these institutions dont catch everything, this is why its important to listen to your fans along with them to get a full perspective. You seemed to suggest that I was insulting the org by me saying they don't represent everyone...all I was saying is that its only one perspective and you shouldnt only listen to them or use the fact that they like something to dismiss something a fan is saying.
Clearly, I touched a nerve and this caused you to misconstrue what I said and go off an a tangent about something i wasn't even talking about. Maybe because you were still upset about that tweet, which funnily enough, is the one criticism I personally don't agree with, I just noticed that you used MPAC as a shield yet again when I think it would've been better to ignore it and let that person have their own opinion. I noticed it's becoming a pattern with you and that's why I brought it up (notice I said increasingly, meaning I wasn't referring to one incident).
Truth is, you have created a bubble for yourself. The fandom on Twitter has become a place where you can't be critical of the show without getting flamed, so people don't discuss as much. Tumblr, where most of the fandom used to congregate, is pretty much dead; if it was still in its heyday, I think you would've seen a lot more backlash to Halo in particular. This forum is moderated before a question reaches you. I have seen some good discussion on Reddit, but I dont know how often you go there.
I never said you needed to leave Twitter, I suggested you maybe not respond defensively to everything. You dont need to do a poll for every decision as you sarcastically suggested, youre lucky enough to have a fanbase that gives you constructive feedback. It's impossible to please everyone, but you could use your fans as an additional resource to get a fuller perspective. But if you don't think our opinions are important enough to listen to, that's your choice.
Hello. I am the person who sent the question about you using MPAC and GLAAD to shield yourself from criticism and I see you responded in a ramble. Um..wow lol what a response.
You mistakenly thought I was only referring to that one tweet and threw a huge tantrum that I mischaracterized what you said and disrespected the Muslims who worked on the show, when you in fact mischaracterized what I was trying to say.
First of all, I was not referring to the one tweet only. I was mostly referring to how you responded to criticism of Halo. You used the fact that MPAC likes her to dismiss a lot of valid criticism about the character. And I have seen several of your answers on here when someone is critical of an LGBT character where you say GLAAD signed off on it so the criticism the person is bringing up âisnt a monolithâ. You can search on here and find those yourself. Thatâs why I mentioned GLAAD, why would I randomly throw them under the bus as you suggested? Maybe you shouldve taken a moment to think about that and consider I wasnât talking only about that tweet instead of flipping out while you were emotional.
THAT type of response is what I take issue with, not the characters you have created. In fact, I disagree with the tweet about not making a Muslim practice magic, I think that is more than fine. But not everyone agrees with me, there are some who believe it is haram and will take offense. Because as you say, we are not a monolith and it will be impossible to please everyone.
I just dont think you should make a habit of responding to these types of things using these institutions as a shield. And when I say that they can be out of touchâ¦its just a simple truth that an institution cannot represent an entire demographic as a wholeâ¦I donât know why you interpreted that as me disrespecting them. These institutions are based in America, which limits their scope, theyre adults, theyâre naturally going to be out of touch with the youth, and they work in Hollywood, theyre not going to see the perspective of the working class. Not that their opinions arenât valuable, but if youâve got more than one fan reaching out to you on social media about something, you should value their perspective equally as much.
And as for your lovely sarcastic response asking if you should take a poll, actually lots of creators will pose general questions about representation on Twitter to gauge the response. Itâs not unheard of. Or you can just read what people are saying and take it in without responding. Clearly you were being hyperbolic to make it seem like I was demanding something ridiculous. Real mature.
Finally, I LITERALLY NEVER SAID you canât create diverse characters. Do you see me say that anywhere? Where did you get that? All I said was I donât like how you were seemingly using these institutions to dismiss criticism and invalidate other peopleâs opinions. All I said was I think you should stop responding in that way and just accept not everyone will like what youre doing.
But hey, thanks for willfully misinterpreting everything I said, responding in pure anger, and getting defensive. white male fragility at its finest.
Hey Greg - you have repeatedly said you do not think giving Dick tech skills was taking away from tim because you think a modern version of the character would have those skills. i would like to offer a counter argument: dick does exist already as a character in modern comics as nightwing, and while he does have tech skills, he is consistently shown not to enjoy it or be the best in the batfam at it. he often turns to barbara or tim when something requires a lot of tech work. also tim is supposed to be the Robin most skilled in this area, that and detective and strategy skills is what sets him apart from the others who are more naturally skilled in the physical things. but in the show you have seemingly made dicks tech skills better or equal to tim. therefore i do think giving dick tech skills was taking from tim and did a real disservice to the character once he came around - tim has nothing unique to bring to the table in the show
I thought I understood something but I just read an article that is making me doubt myself.
The writer describes Zatanna as more ruthless than Batman because she took on apprentices with sole aim of using them to free her dad from Nabu without ever caring about them at all. I thought this reading was extremely harsh and wrong.
My understanding is that Zatanna's plan to save Zatara did not occur to her until "Undo!" So, it's not as though all those years ago Zatanna made Thirteen her apprentice with the intention that she could someday be used as a pawn to free Zatara from being Dr. Fate.
Do I have that right?
when u made the choice to drive one plotline forward instead of exploring the world slowly did u ever consider the wasted potential? so many characters and storylines left behind by the time skips. kinda makes me sad tbh.
I havent been able to get into young justice since it returned which was disappointing since I was a huge fan of the first two seasons, I keep trying but I was so confused why the show wasnt about the team anymore, then I recently saw you say that the show was never about the team itself, its about the original team as individuals and thats why the team isnt a focus anymore. Im honestly baffled by thatâ¦I thought the show was called Young Justice because it focused on the young heroes, aka the team. I think it also kept the show more organized when that was the focus. The only arc I have enjoyed in the latest season was Artemis, and that just so happened to be the only one that featured the team, it was the only time since it came back that it reminded me of why I wanted this show back. I think this decision was a creative misstep and I know I am not the only one who feels that way. Its your show but sadly its not the show I fell in love with anymore.
Why was Black Lightning a lead in season 3? I love the guy but it made no sense in the context of the show. He was never a young hero or on the team with the others. The only reason I can think of is that you wanted to get brownie points for making a Black character made that grandstanding speech to the rest of the heroes. It wouldâve been nice if you developed Virgil instead.
1. Whatever happened to Garfield's pet monkey back in season 1
2. What became of the Logan Animal Sanctuary? Was it shut down or did someone take over the reserve?
3. Why did Garfield decide to get rid of his tail?
It was made clear that a lot of the martians did not approve of M'gann and Conner's relationship or the fact they were getting married, but what were the White Martian's views on the subject since one of their own was marrying an Earther?
Dear Mr Wiesman I have some Young justice questions for you 1. Besides Dubbilex and Super boy can any other non human clone Genomorph speak English or any other Language ? 2. Did all the Genomrophs at Cadmus make it to geranium city or did some decide to live else were disguised as humans like the genorophs in geranium city do? 3. Besides Mayor Tompkins Sheriff Maguire and the Girls does anyone else live in Brooklyn Maine ?
Did any other girls have a crush on Superboy when they joined the Team and if so who? (obviously aside from Miss Martian and Artemis)
1. How do M'gann's family feel about this current situation regarding M'comm, his role in Conner's death as well as trying to kill the entire martian race? Have they given hope on him? Have they disowned him for tried to do and especially what he did to Conner and M'gann?
2. When did the rest of the Team and Justice League finally find out the truth about the deep cover mission? (minus the ones who already knew). It always annoyed me a bit how we never got to see everyone altogether finally find out the truth. Also why did you decide not to include that?
3. Why did Troia leave the Team?
4. How difficult was it for Artemis to rebuild her life since she faked her death and how did she explain the situation to certain people who weren't aware of her hero life?
Who voiced Karen Colin?
I just realized that we've never learned that last names of anyone from Atlantis. Aside from the mermaid character, Lori Lemaris, we don't know the last names of Kaldur, Tula, Garth or La'gaan which begs the question... What are their last names?!
What year did Conner meet M'gann's parents?
How long did Miss Martian cry at the ceremonial altar after Superboy died?
What months in 2019 did Robin and Windfall join the Outsiders?
When did Paula move to Star City?
How old was K'rii St'ferr when he performed M'aatt and J'ann's ceremony?
Do you if the third season of Gargoyles will ever be released on DVD?
Is investigating the death of Superboy the top main priority of the Justice League and Team?
Do you ever plan to actually animate the Audio Play episode that set between seasons 3-4?
In Cornered, Miss Martian and Superboy shared a private talk in the episode. We find out later that she told him what she did to Aqualad, but did she tell him the entire truth? By the time Nightwing came clean about the deep cover mission, did Superboy already know that Aqualad wasn't a traitor and that Artemis was still alive?
Also aside from the deep cover mission, did they talk about anything else besides that? Did they talk more about their relationship? Did they share any intimate moments or spend the night together?

When did Madame Xanadu and Zatanna meet?
1. It's well known that you originally wanted to introduce Troia and Mary Bromfield earlier in the show as far back as season 2. Although we all know why you were unable to include them, I'm curious about what kind of stories would you liked to have done with them if you could have at the time.
2. Why didn't Beast Boy use a glamour charm to hide his green appearance?
3. When did Zatanna move out of the Cave?
4. When did Red Tornado/John Smith adopt Traya?
5. When and why did Artemis leave the Team during the 2 year between seasons 2-3?
What are the personalities of Lori Lemaris and Beluga Boy?
And are there other Atlantean merpeople in Atlantis?
I have been a big fan of your work for a long time. I love Young Justice, Gargoyles and the Spectacular Spider Man and the one thing they al have in common are their incredible love stories. I was wondering what are your favourite romances from each of these amazing shows you've created? What are your top favourite love stories and why do you love them? I'd love to know your opinion?
Hi Greg! I apologize for how long this is!
I love young justice, but I kinda wish you kept Dick as a single guy who just liked women and had a will they wonât they thing with Zatanna and just kept it to that. Because ever since you put Dick and Babs together. It has caused quite the shipping war between the two fandoms.
While I do prefer Dick/Zatanna, I personally never really had opinions
with Dick/Babs. My only problem I had about them, was really your comments about why they werenât together until xyz and explaining their relationship. One was the notion that Dick only loves Babs and would marry her in an instant regardless. I feel thatâs a really bad portrayal of love, if youâre in love with someone else you shouldnât be dating other people! Itâs really not fair and kinda undermines the development he had with Zatanna. For me, it takes me out if investing much time in how Dick reacts with other characters if itâs just gonna be thrown to the side for another relationship. Itâs just not really fair to the characters involved and instead they should have been given other life interests that will actually mean something and not be used as a temporary thing or stepping stone.
The second was that Babs was waiting for Dick to mature to be with him. Babs shouldnât imply that needs Dick to change himself to be with her. He doesnât need to grow up for her, he needs to for up for himself and hopefully he will realize that he is who he is and the person who will marry him will have to accept that. I get it that she wants Dick to mature, but personally, I donât think Dick is all that immature and in fact, acts very much like a normal young man haha if he isnât ready to settle thatâs fine, but implying that he needed to grow up and Babs will wait for him to marry him, itâs not a good set up.
I could be misinterpreting you, and perhaps you never intended for it actually be portrayed that way, but thatâs how it came off to me personally. I really hope I didnât come off mean or ranty, I just felt your comments on the couple maybe could have used more context.,
I kinda just miss Dick with no strings attached. Still kinda trying to figure out who he is. A little flirty with everyone because he loves women clearly. No past loves or pining for anyone. Just one man on a journey you know? Looking forward to the future and leaving the past where it belongs. Hanging out with his friends and fighting crime. I think itâd be great to see Dick move on from both Zatanna and Babs and just eventually down the line find his true love that he never thought in a million years he would meet! I just wanna see Dick grow and evolve for himself inspired by himself.
I hope you get more seasons and love your work so far!
What do you think Shade did to Stagg?
I've gotta say Garfield sure misses his deceased loved ones that he's lost (Including Superboy/Conner Kent) just as much as Makoto Naegi (Danganronpa series) misses his friends who became victims in the Killing School Life that happened in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (video game) and it's anime adaptation (Danganronpa: The Animation).
He (Makoto) even suffers from "Survivor's Guilt" as shown in the brainwashing scene of Danganronpa 3 - Future Arc Episode 11 underscores just how much Makoto regrets being unable to save those who died in that Killing Game including his former love interest Sayaka Maizono.
But still what's happening to Garfield has never happened to Makoto not even after he escaped the Killing School Life along with 5 of his other friends.
Hi there!
First things first, I wanted to say how pleased and surprised I was to see Zatara's faith not only not avoided but leaned into in the episode "Teg Ydear!"
As a Christian, it's become quite rare to see Christianity portrayed even neutrally in popular media. That scene literally brought tears.
My question are these:
1) Why was the Lord's Prayer shortened to omit "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever"?
2) I've heard it said that a Muslim cultural expert was consulted to ensure Khalid's faith was accurately and sensitively portrayed. Was a similar expert consulted for the representations of Catholocism in this episode and the next?
I want to stress that that scene was beautiful and was and is greatly appreciated. Thank you for not shying away from it.
Do the Leaguer's children, like Jon, understand their parents are superheroes? I'm asking because if Jon, for example, sees Daddy flying, there is no way a young child is going to not talk about his dad flying. Kids have no filters.
Hi Greg! Long time forum lurker first time question asker. I wonât ask about any thing about what you have or donât have planned for Jason. Instead I would like to ask your opinion on dc comics canon about Jason being trained by the all-caste. Since the introduction of Jasonâs training under ancient mystical warrior monks Iâve always thought it was an amazing way to make him stand out on his own from the other robins.
1)As a professional in the industry what are your thoughts on that part of his backstory?
2)Do you believe it was a good way to add more layers to his character or wasnât and the robins should all be street level characters?
Thank you for your time and thank you for creating one of my favorite shows of all time!
When day and month did Joan Garrick pass away and who exactly attended her funeral?
What month in 2006 did the Joker invade the cave?
Was it before or after Bruce took in Dick?
Are Dick and Barbara living together (at the time of YJO)?
1. When Miss Martian was acting affectionate with Lagoon Boy in front of Superboy in season 2 did she did do that on purpose to make Superboy jealous?
2. How long exactly was Miss Martian abusing powers? Did she start abusing them in 2015 or longer?
3. When Conner died, did anyone like Artemis, Dick or Kaldur try and contact M'gann after learning the news or has no one spoken to her and are waiting for her return to Earth?
4. Do you regret that Zatanna's feelings over the loss of Conner got no focus during her arc? A lot of fans were hoping for some insight into their friendship since they've had very little on-screen time together.
5. Is Black Canary dealing with her own grief in regards to Conner's death? Did she ever consider him like a protege or maybe family due to their closeness in season 1?
1) In the Musicology 101 Crossover Radio Play, Sandra Stanyon's character from Hello Megan is identified as Sandra Wheeler. Can we take that as confirmation of the character's first name in YJ?
2) If Sandra Stanyon played Sandra Wheeler and Rita Farr played Rita Lee, was Mr Wheeler's first name Jonathan after Jonathan Lord?
3) Was the Kobra seen in the flashback in "Volatile" Jeffrey Burr or Jason Burr?
4) Where were Savage and the Stranger when they spoke with the Lords of Order and Chaos in "Kaerb Ym Traeh!"?
1 Did the first Black Canary work with any other superheroes? (was she part of any team?)
2 When you were considering Donna Troy as part of original team, did you have any idea of what her personality and would be like and what kind of an arc she would have in the first season (I'm only asking about the ideas that don't apply to the stories you might still write one day)
3 Can you tell us why Sha'lain'a and Black Manta fell in love/ had a son but stayed apart afterwards?
4 How did Orm attack Atlantis as Ocean Master without anyone finding out who he was?
I think it's funny when you misrepresent Muslims you say we're overreacting but if it is any other group you're usually ready for a retraction. Why is that?
After young justice invasion but before before Steve Dayton return were did Garfield logan live?
What month in 2017 did Blue Devil and Magog join the Justice League?
I noticed that you based the Maâarphin beast on a dolphin but what animals did you base Maâarzuu Beast and Maâalefaâak off of?
This might be a question for Greg Vietti, but was Rita's character named after her?
1. Following Superboy's heroic sacrifice, are the martian species planning to honor him somehow like building a statue of him?
2. What was the aftermath of Superboy's death like on Mars in the following weeks before M'gann left the planet?
3. Since Superboy died on Mars did they hold a martian funeral for him?
5. Is Prince J'emm and the royal family planning to honour Superboy somehow?
5. Whatever happened to R'ess E'dda after Superboy's death? Was he dismissed, demoted or suspended from his duties?
1. Is Dick Barbaraâs first love ?
2. Is Barbara Dickâs first love or was it Zatanna ?
3. Is Dick Zatannaâs first love ?
4. How does Jim Gordon feel about Dick being his daughterâs boyfriend ?
Hey there Greg I have some questions about the light this time.
We do know being a member gives you a lot of status in the villain/under world side of things, but what happened to members that get replaced?
Say OceanMaster and Blackmanta were once respected but now they killed the former, and the light is indifferent With Blackmanta being under Amanda Wallerâs control.
1.-Does that mean that once members get expelled they lose all worth the light? And I donât mean âworthâ as in how they also use the heroes as tool , but how say a retired Justice or president still gates benefits and respect.
2.- Why was Rhas Al gul not âdisgracedâ after abandoning the light
3.- We know Rhas Al gul retired from the light, and as head of the âleague of shadowsâ. But are the shadows still loyal to him as the even if iâs unofficially?
Thank you, Greg.
When were Casey and Dale married?
In the comics, Troia is a name that Donna Troy takes after she learns of her connection to the Titans of Myth. Since Brandon Vietti and yourself have gone with the "Troia" version of the character for Earth-16, this implies that Earth-16 Troia has an origin that involves the Titans of Myth. Troia's look in Young Justice certainly evokes the "Titans of Myth" origin for her character (with some differences in YJ, of course), and in that version of her origin, the Titans of Myth provided her with an array of mystical gifts. Does she possess these gifts in Young Justice (or did she have them during the five-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, at least)?
I'm not sure how guarded you are about Troia's origin and details surrounding it... I'll take the risk that this question might be deleted by the mods. Perhaps you can give at least a hint in answer, please, if you feel that that's appropriate.
1. How much does the public know about Superboy's death? Do they know he was on Mars and about his engagement?
2. How did the public learn about Superboy's death? Did someone hold a press conference, social media or announce it at the United Nations?
3. If it was a press conference who revealed the news. Was it Wonder Girl because she is the Outsiders acting leader or Catherine Cobert since she is the public liason?
4. How are the rest of the Outsiders coping with Conner's death? Members like Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Blue Beetle and Robin since they knew him longer?
5. How did the Outsiders find out about Conner's death. Did Garfield contact them or did they find out some other way?
After seeing that Superboy was a fan of G Gordan Godfrey's talk show it makes me wonder what are the original members favourite TV shows? Also favourite genres too? Also aside from the talk show what else did Superboy like tv wise?
Would Garfield still have breakup with Perdita if Garfield had not gone to mars with M'gann and Conner and if so, why?
Why is Roy Harper referred to as a âfellow genomorphâ in the young justice audio play?
How does Zatanna fell towards dick and Barbaraâs relationship ?
Why was M'comm so surprised that M'gann went after him for Conner's death? He had to expect what would happen. He killed his own sister's fiancée! Also what was his reaction when he learned that Conner died instead? Does he even feel the sightliest bit of guilt and remorse for what he did to Conner or M'gann for that matter?
Who thought of Psimon and Devastation? (as an item)
I do understand that you wanted to show that everyone doesnât marry their first love with the example of Chalant. But why did you choose Barbara Gordon as Dickâs endgame ?
One of the reasons Chalant gets so much love is that we finally got to see Dick sincerely loving and being serious with someone else that Barbara or Kory.
Dickbabs already is endgame in nearly every single continuity they are in ( the comics + every animated Batman series or movie, and they are canon in the main continuity ) DC even black listed Dickkory to promote this couple, there is clearly enough ( too much ) Dickbabs.
I even used to ship them but by seeing them together everywhere, everytime it just disgusts me of them tbh.
It would have been perfect If you stuck to idea of allowing Grayson to be with someone else, Dickbabs is overused and doesnât bring anything new or fresh to the show and is such a shame.
Young Justice is one of my favorite shows and you canât imagine how enormously disappointed i was when i first watched episodes 6 of season 3, I really had hope that i would finally see Dick being endgame to another girl.
How did the Gardita fans react to Garfield logan after the Gardita fans learn Garfield's breakup with Queen Perdita?
Why was it part of the plan of young justice season 4 that beast boy would breakup with Perdita over Garfield's deep depression over conner's death but only to reunite m'gann and conner later in season 4 and not also reunite beast boy with Perdita in a dating relationship later in season 4?
1. When Superman was in space in season 3, did he and Conner ever share video calls like Troia and Diana?
2. Why did Conner wait so long to tell Clark about his and M'gann's engagement? Couldn't he have told him via video call or something?
3. How long exactly were Wonder Woman, Superman, the Hawks etc in space in season 3?
4. In the season 2 finale, why did Batman directly asked Aqualad what happened? When they left, everyone still thought Aqualad was a traitor and yet Batman didn't hesitate to ask him about the situation. Does this mean, Batman may have been aware of the deep cover mission or had an idea about what was going on?
5. How long did it take for everyone (both the Team and Justice League) to truly trust and forgive Kaldur, Dick and the others after learning about the deep cover mission. Example how long did it take for Aquaman to forgive his former protege and begin to trust him again?
1. How did Conner manage to keep his plans to propose to M'gann a secret from her considering she is psychic?
2. Did Conner tell anyone about his plans to propose to M'gann or did he simply keep it a secret from everyone?
3. By the time Conner went on the Markovia mission with Dick, Artemis and Jeff, did they know about his and M'gann's engagement at that time?
4. When and how did Conner and M'gann tell everyone they were engaged? Did they gather everyone at the Watchtower to inform them of the news, social media or any other kind of way?
5. After the proposal what did Conner and M'gann do for the rest of their day/time together before he left for his mission to Markovia?
When Conner and M'gann lived in the Cave did they eventually start to share a room together as they years passed and if so did one of them move out after they broke up?
Do Roy and Will visit Geranium City? Does Jim visit his brothers in Star City?
The Phantom Stranger's voice reminds me of Rod Serling's. Were you going for this?
1) In "Inhospitable", we specifically see Beast Boy depositing his saliva into the Bio-Ship. Not long afterwards, Bio-Ship goes into the "mating cycle" (of sorts... I'm just referring to it as that, although I know that it's "more like cell division") and Baby is born. Did Beast Boy's DNA (which was present within Bio-Ship) affect the process of cell division and Baby's birth in any way? Did it have an effect on it? (By the way, I loved the Mars arc -- it was a joy to finally delve into that aspect of M'gann's background!)
2) We know that Troia joined the Team in Team Year Two and left in Team Year Five. When did she first debut as a superhero or heroic figure?
(I think it's fair game to ask this since questions about when, say, Stephanie Brown debuted as Spoiler have been asked and answered. In Troia's case, the basic question has to be re-worded because as far as we know, her original name was Troia, just as Superboy was Superboy before he was Conner Kent or Kon-El, so it's not as though I can ask when Donna Troy debuted as Troia. So I'm asking when Troia became a "hero".)
3) In "Agendas", Wonder Woman seemed quite hostile towards the idea of Batman indoctrinating a young Robin into crime-fighting, even citing his age (nine years old at the time he debuted as a hero) in a manner that suggested that she disapproved. Something must have changed since she had to deal with Troia being a member of the Team for a few years (whether she liked it or not... obviously we the viewers do not know) and then later took on Cassie/Wonder Girl as her protege. Did Troia's origin as a hero help Diana to overcome her worries/concerns about taking on a young apprentice?
1.What on earth is wrong with Barbara ? Why was she acting so petty and showing attitude towards Zatanna in S2E18 ?
2.Was she jealous because Zatanna is Dickâs ex or something ?
1.Did Barbara lose her virginity to Dick ?
2.Did Zatanna lose her virginity to Dick ?
3.Did Dick lose his virginity to any of them ?
1. How long has been Barbara waiting for Dick to â be ready for her â ?
2. Did she dated any other guy while she was waiting for Dick ?
3. If she did, was she serious with those guys or would she have dumped them as soon as dick came to her ?
4. When and how did he fall in love with her ?
I mean in seasons 1 and 2, he really didnât seem to have any sort of feelings to her, and then suddenly they were together and living in the same appartement in season 3. It seems a bit forced tbh.
Has anyone ever been kicked off the Team before? (aside from Arsenal)
When exactly did M'gann and Conner start using telepathy as their main way of talking to each other? By season 3, itâs become their main source of communication, but when did that start happening exactly? Obviously after they got back together, but why did they start doing it? Or had they started talking more through telepathy prior to their break up?
Dickbabs seems forced and itâs so boring, you shouldâve had kept him with Zee.
#BringbackChalant
Was the Brain still human when he joined the Light?
When did Robin, Livewire, Stargirl, Looker, and Windfall join the Outsiders?
What do you think the best Young Justice term is: crash, mode, noted, or whelmed?
You've revealed here that Batwoman, Elongated Man, Fire, and Magog all debuted as heroes in Team Year Six. Would you be willing to reveal the order within that year that they debuted?
When exactly did Conner and M'gann find out the Team knew about their relationship? We know that one by one everyone gradually found out throughout the first season, but when did they realize everybody knew? Did someone catch them in a moment or did someone slip and make a comment about their romance in front of them? Or were they simply oblivious and felt they were ready to confess their relationship only to find out everybody already knew? Also what day and month exactly did they officially reveal their relationship? We know that by Image they were no longer keeping it a secret so obviously before that.
In the Episode âInvoluntaryâ during Prince Jâemmâs birthday celebration, I saw a type of Martian Bird! I have three questions about it!
1) do you have a name for it?
2) if so would itâs name start with Maâar? (since many animals on Mars start with Maâar, like Maâarphin Beast and Maâarzuu Beast)
3) Would Gar shapeshift into that?
The song that M'gann sang in the Torch song comic about her expressing her sorrow and regret as well as her love for Conner. Do you ever wish or plan to actually make an official soundtrack of that song. I would love to actually hear it play.
1. Do M'gann and Conner ever do anything special on Valentineâs Day?
2. Do they have a yearly tradition like how Wally often forgot the holiday with Artemis?
3. Also what was their last Valentineâs Day together like since they left in February at the start of season 4?
4. Was the holiday hard for them in the season 2 episode Salvage since they were broken up? I know she was still with Lagoon Boy at the time, but did she miss Conner and secretly wished she could have spent the day with him?
1 Child referred to klarion as brother do the chaos Lords consider each other as siblings?
2 if the answer to 1 is yes does this also count for the Lords of order?
A) How does Ollie even afford to be a vigilante in Star City if he is lower middle class? How does he make up for out of pocket expenses like healthcare or his weapon storage vaults? Does he have an inheritance that he is using for his vigilante activities and a small earning (as you mentioned) from somewhere that he uses for his day to day expenses?
A.1) How is the loss of one of his Vaults in episode 5 not a huge loss for him?
B) I thought that Roys trust fund (that was set up by Ollie) was used up in the search for him by Red Arrow? How does he suddenly have a trust fund?
In which state is Geranium City located?
Since when did Arsenal have a trust fund? Did he pick up financial acumen from Ollie in addition to crime fighting skills?
Why did Artemis used her first name as her superhero name when she first became a superhero during Season 1 of Young Justice?
Mr. Weisman,
Could the Earth-16's version of Match be regarded as a combination of both Match AND Bizarro from the comics since Earth-16's Match can visibly age; whereas Earth-16's Superboy cannot?
1. Did Tim initially join the Outsiders to try to get back with Cassie ?
2. Did they broke up because of the Batmanâinc thing ? ( I know it seemed pretty clear in season 3 but I still want a confirmation )
In Catwoman: Hunted, does Barbara/Cheetah have an African heritage? She mentions her mother was a Urzkartaga follower and that's an African deity (in the comics) and Barbara's skin tone does also seem much darker than in the comic.
Hello, love young justice and where the story is going! Love how real Beast Boy's mental journey is.
I know it was a long time ago, but you and Denys Cowan pitched a Rocket series that had the general Rocket/Icon dynamic.
1) Did you pitch the series after Milestone shut down/the run ended or was it in the middle of the run? Do you remember the pitch for the show?
2) Why was Icon your favorite Milestone comic? Why was Rocket your favorite character? Did you read the other Milestone comics?
3) Icon talked about race, class, abortions, and a lot of real world things that people still do not like to talk about. I know you pitched this show to Nickelodeon, so what was the age demographic? Kids? Teens?
Was there any talk about watering down these issues to make them more kid friendly? How were you planning to show their dynamic and the themes of the comic while airing on a kids network?
4) My last question is are you reading the Milestone reboot comics?
I know all of this was forever ago and it makes sense if you do not remember any of it. Thank you so much for your time and for what you do. I and many others really appreciate it/you!
Itâs a real shame that you decided to end up Chalant. Even if I believe thatâs the worse decision youâve made regarding this show I canât blame you for that, itâs still your show and do you do whatever you want after all. But did you really needed to do it like that ? Like breaking their relationship out of nowhere, without any explanation when everything seemed to be perfect in their relationship ? Whenever people ask you why they broke up, your only answer is « no spoilers » and you keep saying that since 2011 but here we are in 2022 like literally 11 YEARS LATER and still not an official answer, all we have are fan theories. Why donât you just say it ? At this point Iâm not even asking you to bring them back just to respond to a simple answer so I can get over this ship PLEASE.
1 Why did G. Gordon insult gretchen and her devices on his show if they are both on the same side
2 Have ultra humanite and granny goodness always disliked each other
Did hundreds or thousands or millions of people die due to Child's rampage on Earth before Child was stop in young justice phantoms?
In the YJ-verse are Kryptonians considered stronger than (Greek) Gods and demi-gods?
Does Arsenal still act too recklessy when dealing with lex luthor. Or has he managed to keep his anger under control.
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to Dick's uncle, aunt, and cousin in the Earth-16 continuity, are they from his paternal side of his family since they all shared the last name of Grayson?
Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Thirteen's parents, are their names Terrence "Terry" Thurston and Meihui Lan-Thurston; with the latter's maiden name being Lan?
Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 continuity, are the full names of Barry's parents Henry Paul Allen and Nora Thompson-Allen; with the latter's maiden name being Thompson?
how did you cast Maggie Q as Wonder Woman?
Was cyborgs Outsider designation D08 before he joined the League? And did the D06 designation get skipped in memory of Brionâs time on the Outsiders?
1. Did Arsenal and the 4 Runaway Meta-teens (Virgil Hawkins, Asami "Sam" Koizumi, Tye Longshadow and Eduardo "Ed" Dorado, Jr.) ever learn about how Kaldur faked his betrayal, Artemis faked her death and how Nightwing kept them both a secret from the Justice League and the Team?
2. If they have then how did they react to it after learning about it?
Are Cissie and Roy friends? Do they get along?
Was Red Arrow's obsession with recovering Speedy in season 2 a nod/replacement for his comic book drug addiction?
Is klarion still on bad terms with the other chaos lords?
Vandal's design (at least his face) is way more different on season 3. I was surprised to see that he got a new design on season 4, way more similar to how he looked on seasons 1-2. Why did you guys decide to change it back (if we can put it in that way)?
(also, I know you don't like Deathstroke's ponytail from season 2, but everything else on that design is outstanding, can't say I haven't gotten a bit upset because his design wasn't also "changed back" xD)
When the light picked granny goodness to join them was there concern among that she might sabotage some of their operations for darkseid?
Hi Greg,
I would love to meet you in person at a show sometime, but I'm having a hard time finding a list of shows that you will be attending. Is there a good location to find this? I cannot find it on this website. Been a fan since Gargoyles, and I love watching Young Justice with my kids.
Thanks,
Joseph
I sincerely apologize.
How about something more established, then?
Yan Lin was shown using illusion magic, generating light, and using some sort of mind trick (kind of like Irma's) to make Hay Lin invite Will over for that fateful snack all the way back in Season 1. Are these abilities that all Guardians can learn or are they only for Hay Lin to inherit?
1a) Did you (or anyone on the YJ show) ever come up with a layout/floor plan for Mt. Justice?
2) If not, do you know if the Wikia article is accurate in regards to the amount of rooms? Or are there other rooms that weren't explored?
3) How many living quarters are there on Mt. Justice?
Thank you and I appreciate all the work you do!
1. As in what is the hawk couples favorite activity as a couple
2.does the hawk couple get frisky
3. And what is their favorite sexual activities since they are a couple ( this is a clarifying version of my previous question.)
Hi, I loved Catwoman: Hunted and wanted to ask a little about what separates it from YJ/Earth-16. You've said it's cannon adjascent, like the Green Arrow short.
There are more obvious disconnects between YJ and GA, most notably at the end of the short Vertigo reveals himself and is captured, which conflicts with him having diplomatic immunity in Coldhearted. The differences in CH, at least based on what we know of Earth-16 so far, are more minor and seem like they could be easily explained.
Similarly, while GA has a more similar visual style to YJ than the anime CH, the designs from CH feel much closer to YJ than GA does. To me CH's Batwoman and Cheshire look very much like YJ's Batwoman and Cheshire drawn by a different artist, but GA's Green Arrow and Vertigo look like a very different Arrow and Vertigo drawn by the same artist as YJ's Arrow. So to me CH actually fits with YJ better.
Heck, CH even has a 16 gag - the assassin Catwoman and Batwoman compete over on the Eiffel tower would be #16 for either of them.
So that leads me to ask:
1) Are there specific things that set CH apart from YJ/Earth-16? If so, what are they?
2) Do you have an Earth-16 version of events in mind?
3) When does the Earth-16 version of CH take place?
4) Would an Earth-16 version add significant YJ characters, like you said the YJ version of the GA short would involve Artemis and Red Arrow?
Have you ever made a "cameo" in anything you've worked on? So for example, a background character resembling you walking in the backshot of a scene, or anything of the sort.
Could Lexington carry Goliath while gliding?
Hey Greg, been a fan of your work a long time! Just one thing I'm curious about-
Halo didn't explore being a Muslim until s4, and explicitly said they weren't Muslim in s3. So why is Halo considered Muslim rep in s3? I just don't get what all the arguing is about if Halo wasn't Muslim at all!
Hi Greg, how are you? i wanted to ask some other things about Spectacular Spider-Man, (sorry if it is too spoilery) But it got me curious about how would you like to aproach certain specific things on the design of our protagonist.
1. Did you have any plans of changing Peter Parker design as he grew older? or he would be wearing the same blue and grey shirts? i ask this because you mentioned one time that you did have some specifc plan for his design eventually.
2. I saw the picture of peter's parentes in the show, and
realized that Peter looks a LOT like his dad, would he eventually look more like him as he grown?
3. The design of your Peter in the show is one of my favorites of all Peter Parker's, at the same time he looks geeky, he also looks like a normal teen and don't come as the steryotype nerd, and i wonder if the design of him before he was spider-man(him with glasses and button shirt) was purposeful to shown peter was like Stan/Ditko Peter, more with a "square" look and after the spider bite he become more confident to wear more "cool clothes" (kinda like Romita Peter), or did he just starts wearing the blue/grey shirts to hide his spider-man suit?
Before the breakup did Queen Perdita ever saw a picture of Garfield Logan before his hair and skin turned green?
1. How close are Superboy and Black Canary? Do they share a somewhat familial bond and are they still close by season 4?
2. Has Garth moved on from losing Tula or is he still struggling to move on like Artemis did?
3. When exactly did Cyborg join the Justice League and how long was he with the Outsiders before joining the League?
4. When did Conner and Megan graduate and move in together? Year and day please.
The thing that has always most impressed me about your shows is the meticulous planning that goes into them early on. The little, seemingly innocuous threads that you drop only to pick up seasons later (eg. The kids on the bus in Young Justice).
My question is, what is the biggest event (released to date, no spoilers ð) across any of your shows that was completely spontaneous, and not planned out from the beginning? Or else something that had to be changed drastically at the last minute from the original plan?
Hello Mr.Weisman
How did bane almost defeat batman in hand to hand combat? Shouldn't batman be more skilled and experienced (If not stronger) than bane? Was he holding back or he is just getting older and is not as good as he used to be?
And sorry about the grammatical mistakes, I am not a native English speaker.
Why did you have Tara say mother of goat instead of mother of God in young justice outsiders?
1 In Catwoman Hunted Selina is often talking to Holly, is this Holly Robinson
2 Also they talk about someone named Anna is this Anya Volkova, this is the only Anya I could think of and she is a new character, unless I am missing something obvious. Can you please confirm who this Anya is.
Really loved Catwoman Hunted any chance you can reveal or share the Lyrics of the Ending Song "Thief in the night", I want to know what the English and non-English part of the lyrics was saying.
With the release of Catwoman: Hunted (no spoilers) that your state is "canon adjacent," similar to DC Showcase: Green Arrow (also did youâre written for that short film back in the 2010s). Thought if there are any plans to expand the Earth-16 just beyond Young Justice.
What other characters or team that youâre like and anyone else involved in DC that wants to next? Not only youâre guys making no longer Young Justice episodes. You're making the Young Justice Universe.
I know this isn't that uncommon in the fandom, but I am obsessed with the Zeta designations used on YJ. I have a spreadsheet tracking revealed designations, every time they were used on screen, on panel, on Ask Greg, or in promotional material, and a (very rough) timeline of when each number was activated. I even have predictions of who might be the unrevealed numbers. My white whale is the A-series, which by its nature isn't easy to predict. I know it's useless to ask you to reveal the unknown numbers, but I feel like this question is playing fair with the Ask Greg rules: Has the audience been introduced to every individual who has been granted an A-series designation?
And since I have a couple more question slots:
2. Does Captain Atom undergo a significant enough physical change when he becomes Nathanial Adams that he would need a separate designation number, similar to the Marvel family?
3. What name is used for Billy Batson's A-05 designation? Is it William Batson, like how Mal Duncan is designated Malcolm Duncan? I can't imagine the JL computer reading out "Billy" without laughing.
4. Same question as 3, but for Lieutenant Marvel/Freddy Freeman's A designation. Is it Freddy or Frederick or some other permutation?
5. And one that I'm fairly sure will be hit with the SPOILER REQUEST: Are there any C-designations besides Wolf and Sphere?
How did you cast Jenifer Lewis? She's not commonly seen doing voice over work. Whose idea was it to cast here? How is she?
How old were Kaldur and Garth when they met?
Consedering klarionâs mind is very chaotic how did he remember the deal he made with savage to return back to atlantis? Did teekl remind him about it?
How did Garfield get money to support himself after Garfield permanently stop acting on star trek 3016 in young justice universe?
1 is child also capable of understanding what teekl says?
2 was flaw capable of communication with child?
Does the Rannian Science Command member seen getting bribed by the Kroloteans in Earthlings have an official name?
Was the reason you decided to have Shiva and not David Cain be the abusive parent who relentlessly trained Cassandra into being the perfect assassin due to her backstory in the comics being too similar to Artemis and Sportsmaster?
Hi Greg, want to start by saying I love the world building of young justice and the amount of passion you and the team have towards the shows creation, huge respect! The fact that you even take the time to interact with and respond to fans who feel entitled to have all sorts of opinions is a huge thing in itself and the way you respond and handle situations is admirable! I have a couple questions that im not sure can be answered or would warrant a no spoiler haha. Ive looked through the archive to make sure it hasn't been answered before and I don't believe it has so here it goes:
1. Is the Blue Beetle "Big Bad" of Barts time actually Jaime? Once the Reach had Jaime in captivity they might've killed him off for a new host or maybe actually found a way to put him on mode, so the identity of the human host of the tyrant of Barts time is unclear.
2. Flash´s secret identity seems to be important to him, he even has a different eye colour when in his uniform (blue) as opposed to his actual green. With Jay being a public hero with his name known, surely people must recognise him out of costume? In associating him with Bart as his guardian, it wouldn't be impossible for people to make a connection between Allens and Jay, doesn't this put their secret IDs at risk?
Thank you in advance regardless of whether the questions are answered or not. I love the show a lot and have been enjoying the first half of season 4 so far (especially all of Klarions scenes, the were incredibly chaotic hahaha). Very excited for the rest of the season.
What you're opinion about the YJ Fandom tent-poles? The Wiki, the Podcast, the Tumblr pages, the subReddit and the Facebook fan groups?
Tim and cassie got together off screen, had their relationship during a time skip off screen, and broke up off screen...their relationship had potential to be so interesting but its clear the show never intended to explore it or either of their characters in depth...I have to wonder what was the point of the whole thing?
I just want to say that I love that Young Justice Phantoms is focusing more on Superboy for a change and I have a few questions about it.
1. What made you decide on this storyline for season 4
2. Did always want to make a season focusing more on Superboy's character.
3. Why Make Conner and M'gann suffer!?! Trapping him in the Phantom and making M'gann believe she lost the love of her life?!
How come we hardly see Dick interact with Tim? Dick is a lead and Tim is his brother, I would think they'd hang out and work together often, but i dont think we saw them have a single conversation in outsiders. Are they not as close in YJ as they are in the comics?
the way you respond when people express disappointment about how certain characters are shafted rubs me the wrong way, you usually say something like that characters not a lead and people need to get over it, yes its ultimately your show and your story you want to tell, so you can pick the characters you want to focus on, but i think you should consider the fact that these characters dont belong to you, they are established characters that people have strong emotional attachments to since childhood, thats a big reason why people are so passionate about young justice in the first place, and comic readers will naturally get upset if they feel like a character they grew up with is not portrayed properly or not being treated with respect, i wish you were a little more sensitive with how you used them instead of stuffing as many as possible in the show
Why did the show have to become so dark when it was revived just because the fandom is older? 99.9% of DC media is dark, the optimism in YJ was refreshing. And making material darker doesn't automatically make it more mature.
When Black Lightning became the new leader of the Justice League how come Superman wasn't made second-in-command of the JL? He obviously has a strong moral compass. Plus he was never apart of nor had anything to do with the Anti-Light.
Mr. Weisman,
Since Hawkman and Hawkwoman are married on Earth-16, shouldn't the latter be now known as Shayera Hol, instead of Shayera Thal? Or does this NOT apply in Earth-16's Thanagarian culture?
