I don’t want to pretend like oh, I had these scripts in my pocket and I just pulled them out. That’s not right. But in terms of the ideas behind them, I’ve had, not all of them, but most of them for, yeah, like, 29 – well, not 29 because that’s when we just started – but 20-plus years. I’ve been keeping [composition] books, you know, the black and white [ones]. I have comp books like this filled with Gargoyles ideas. I just never stopped, something would occur to me where I’d be reading something, for Young Justice or or just on my own, I’d go “Oh, that’d be good for Gargoyles.” And I would put it down in the comp book. -- Greg Weisman

I worked as an editor at DC Comics for years. And then as a freelance writer doing Captain Atom and other things for them. One thing that I was really bored with were petty villains, like the villain whose minion comes in and says the hero defeated me and so the villain kills the minion. “You failed me!” And I’m like, wait, dude, you’ve never succeeded in defeating the hero! One thing that I am really proud of is, in Demona and Xanatos, we created, certainly for cartoons, truly unique villains, something different that you hadn’t seen in cartoons before. Demona, probably at least subconsciously, owes a little in my head to Magneto. -- Greg Weisman

On another level, I felt that childhood friendships must evolve or die. Brooklyn, Lex and Broadway couldn't go through life as The Three Musketeers. By sending Brooklyn away for five minutes of Broadway's life, but forty years of Brooklyn's it would demonstrate that although the trio would always be the best of friends, the days of being joined at the hip were quite, quite over. -- Greg Weisman

What is my responsibility as a creator? I think it has to be the responsibility to, in part, reclaim the tools of storytelling and fiction from fascists and hate groups of all stripes - including but not limited to the anti-semites. I don't think it's always possible. You can't reclaim the swastika, for example, even though that predates Naziism. But I think magic circles and fictional villain groups still have hope. Of course, if you are going to use these things that have been, shall we say, compromised, you need to make it clear that you aren't feeding into the negative stereotype associated with the trope. Hence, Gargoyles' Illuminati is being investigated by a Jew and is comprised of mostly non-Jews, including many characters from Arthurian Legend. -- Greg Weisman

As for Xanatos, he was a variation on General Eiling (from Captain Atom), who was more of a bastard. And Eiling, in turn, was loosely based on Captain Kirk, or rather a dark mirror of Kirk (and, no, that's not a reference to the "Mirror, Mirror," as the Mirror Kirk in that episode couldn't fool anyone). -- Greg Weisman

The numbers have also been strong and very reassuring. I thought we had fans eager for more stories, but one can never be certain of that premise until proven. I love that it was proven. -- Greg Weisman

Way back in the day, we did a ton of research to get out Scottish history right in such episodes as "City of Stone" and "Avalon," etc. That research has continued for me -- made easier by this internet thing, which wasn't such a big deal back in 1994. And it's my kind of challenge to try to weave the actual Scottish history in and around the actions of our Gargoyles. -- Greg Weisman

Flush with our success on the main title, Dynamite asked if there were any mini-series spinoffs I'd like to do. I have half a dozen at least, and I pitched them all. -- Greg Weisman
