* CanonDiscontinuity: Weisman has disowned the entire ''Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles'' series, since he was not involved in its production.[[note]]Originally, he stated that the premiere episode, "The Journey", was still canon, but he eventually retold that story in the ''Gargoyles'' comic, which rendered that episode non-canon as well.[[/note]]

** Other projects [[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=7908 listed on his resume]] that never happened include ''Anime/{{Robotech}}: Mars Force'', a Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation series based on the ''Robosapien'' toys, two different Disney projects (''Mechromancers'' and ''Creature Force''), an adaptation of ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' for Dreamworks' 2D feature animation division, and ''Franchise/{{Stargate|Verse}}: The Hunted'' (an animated series, long before ''WesternAnimation/StargateInfinity'').

Greg Weisman (born September 28, 1963 in Los Angeles, California) is an American writer and producer. He was the creator of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' and a scriptwriter for series such as ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. He was also the supervising producer for the second season of ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'', the supervising producer for all of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' until its cancellation, and also currently produces ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' alongside [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood Brandon Vietti]]. He also had a good run in the 1980s with his ComicBook revival and update of ''ComicBook/CaptainAtom''. His most recent project was a ''Franchise/StarWars'' animated series titled ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', which he worked on with Creator/DaveFiloni, former supervising director of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. Can be seen as the Western Animation equivalent of Creator/StevenBochco and Creator/JayWolpert.

* BoundAndGagged: The characters Creator/LaceyChabert voice in his shows are often given this treatment.

ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}, whose powers are vocal, had her mouth taped and was threatened with a crossbow in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' (2010-2013, 2019-)

** And in several interviews, he's hinted at having a rather thick production bible for ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.

** His WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}} episodes were all stylized "___ Is For ____", with blank 1 being a letter of the alphabet and the second blank being a word starting with that letter.

** WesternAnimation/YoungJustice averted this for the first two seasons, but the third uses this trope in a unique way: [[spoiler: the first letter of each episode spells out ‘Prepare the Anti-Life Equation’, hinting at the return of Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} after his reveal at the end of ''Invasion''.]]

* RaceLift: He's very big on this, with some extremely pronounced examples in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.

** ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'''s lackluster toy sales made it too unprofitable compared with its high costs for animation and licensing, so Creator/CartoonNetwork cancelled it after two seasons. However, after rabid fan support and years of petitioning, it was UnCanceled for a third season and has since been renewed for a fourth. CurseEscapeClause?

The first was a Comicbook/GreenLantern cartoon that would've focused on Charlie Vickers. [[WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries A Green Lantern series]] would eventually be made, but with Hal Jordan as the lead and a different creative team. The second was a WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost cartoon.

* ShoutOutToShakespeare: ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' had a ton of these, some of which were not mere Shout Outs but plot-relevant. ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' also featured Shakespeare in Season 2's school play subplot. ''Literature/RainOfTheGhosts'' has several references to ''Theatre/TheTempest'', the series takes place on a group of islands called the Prospero Keys and one of the characters is named Miranda.

** If someone's been reduced to just their head, expect him to be taunted "What are you going to do, bite my kneecaps off?" (Appears in ''Gargoyles'' and ''Spider-Man'') Likewise, references to "beating up a beach" are favored when fighting sand villains (''Gargoyles'', ''Spider-Man'', and ''WITCH''). Also some variation on "revenge is for suckers," both as a quote and ideology, often spoken from one villain to another (''Gargoyles,'' ''Spider-Man,'' and ''Young Justice'').

* BoundAndGagged: The characters Creator/LaceyChabert voice in his shows are often given this treatment. Gwen Stacy was gagged and hung from a Thanksgiving parade float by Venom in The Spectacular Spider-Man. Zatanna, whose powers are vocal, had her mouth taped and was threatened with a crossbow in Young Justice, and in Justice League Action, a possessed Batmobile binds and gags her with the ejection parachute and locks her in the trunk. It's definitely interesting.

* CrossOver: He likes to cross ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' with other shows he's worked on. He wrote up a non-canon one with ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', and also planned one for ''[[Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire Team Atlantis]]'' before it became a StillbornFranchise (but he's declared it still canon in BroadStrokes). ''W.I.T.C.H.'' had the [[RecurringExtra yuppie couple]] from ''Gargoyles'' appear as well, albeit as teenagers.

He has also written the first two books of his own original series, ''[[Literature/RainOfTheGhosts]]'' and ''Spirits of Ash and Foam'', a supernatural young adult book series with heavy references to Caribbean mythology and folklore. An audiobook of the first book with a full voice cast and original music has also been produced.

As a writer for hire, he is the author of the [[Franchise/WarcraftExpandedUniverse World of Warcraft novel]] ''[[Franchise/WarcraftExpandedUniverse Traveler]]'' and its sequel, ''Traveler: The Spiral Path''.
