I hope as time passes we embrace the "One Universe"-ness of it more and more, too.

I think it's tempting to kind of hedge your bets and focus on the ultimised aspects of your character but essentially keep their supporting cast and villains the same – or to do the opposite and keep the characters roughly the same and integrate a slightly more mixed cast.

With the F4 I've kind of done the latter but I'm hoping to do [i]both[/i] more the further I get into things – and from talking to a few of you away from the OOC thread, some of you have similar plans. Which is exciting.

I'm actually just about to introduce a Marvel character into the fold in Gotham, as a replacement for the ashes that were once my big grand Black Widow romance (:arghfist), but I'm definitely trying to be careful of doing anything too gimmicky with Bats. It would've been easy for me to say that Bruce trained in Wakanda or, as I've seen with other Batman players in these One Universe type of scenarios, train with Stick along with Matt Murdock, but I wanted that to just be stuff that Bruce kind of happened upon instead of having direct personal ties with at the beginning. Though to again talk about the Black Widow arc that'll never happen (:arghfist :arghfist), Bruce was going to have done a brief stint in Siberia under an undercover Natalia Romanova as established through flashbacks. 

But I'm very keen to have more Marvel stuff interweave with Gotham. Especially the street level people like DD, Iron Fist, ect. and some of the villains from that side of things. I can't imagine how Batman and The Kingpin would fare in a rivalry, but I might get the chance to explore that in future seasons once HenryJonesJr has tired of Wilson.
