[b]What creator or piece of media directly influences your stories and characterizations for this game?[/b]

Alot of my Batman is drawn from Jeph Loeb's inner-monologue for Bruce in The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and Hush. Something about his Batman's train of thought and the style that it's written in, intelligent and yet somewhat stuck in a childhood mentality, just really sank in and made sense for Bruce. He's one step out of reality, and Loeb went for that for dramatic purposes.

As far as my writing goes, it also depends on the media I'm busy absorbing at the time of writing. For instance, in my last Batman post, I had Bruce silently take out one of the thugs and then stuff his unconscious body in a crate. This is because I've been playing [i]Hitman[/i] for Xbox One, where that's a go-to move. The crime stuff from last season was largely influenced by, oddly enough, a combination of Daredevil Season 1, seeing some mob movies for the first time, listening to a true crime podcast, and - not to completely kiss ass - my jealousy of [i]your[/i] ability to write noir and wanting to ape you a bit. You talented bastard.
