Greg is a pretty cool guy. He goes out of his way to answer the fans questions, and he really cares about his properties. :)

@genestarwindjf80 I was OBSESSED with Teen Titans when it was still on television. Like I watched every episode religiously, was there every Saturday night, owned all the toys, pretended to be them with my siblings who were just as obsessed, but you CANNOT say Young Justice is a bad tv show. It is better than Teen Titans in every shape and form. The characters have real conflicts, there's plot, and it's realistic. These characters ACTUALLY change clothes when it is appropriate and you get to se

I hated the Young Justice series. the Teen Titans was better. plus they didn't include Star Fire Beast Boy Raven Cyborg in their. So what's the difference between Teen Titans or Young Justice

@kingjackson171 fun fact teen titans (the show) was originally going to be young justice but they were afraid of the continuity that would come with it.

Though I kind of agree the original yj team in the comics may not have worked since yj was more about the side kicks while tt was about them growing up and finding their place as heroes. So the tt comic had more in common with yj show.

Though I was kinda disappointed I wanted to see how they handled the continuity.

I really wonder who the other two main characters could be. I hope Wonder Girl appears, she doesn't get enough screen time.

@mayhem9024 Quite frankly, I didn't like Static Shock. The animation looked kind of kiddy, the writing didn't seem nearly as good as the rest of the DCAU, and a lot of the characters seemed just plain stupid (although that probably wasn't the show's fault). Also, the themes were both terribly annoying and stupid (mainly the second one). I like the character of Static, but only when he's with other DC characters, not when he's doing his own stuff.

@Bleachjah15 ah yes your one of those average joes who doesn't realize that not othering to even come up with your own designs is cheap and saves time because your able to record faster and have the animation already set in oter words it's like getting a car that just needs a engine it's easy and quick and already done for you.Avengers started from scratch found unique designs and they wworked hard enough that you can tell it was made just for that show.

@BalladOfGales no his show got him alot of mainstream and it was well recived what are you talkin about?
