[OOC] Gotham City: Shadow of the Bat

[Hillan]

Put that way it is at least better, yes. Still eh on the concept itself, but we'll see.

@Dblade26

What's the worst that can happen? The way I see it, Jason's nobody's favorite hero or Anti-Hero, he's considered by some to be a decent villain, and most would have him be just that, a villain. Bruce's biggest mistake. (After Damian, piece of shit, but that one's just imo.) Therefor, he's certainly the safest out of all of the Birdboys to turn into something different than he was original. I wanna make him different from Bruce, or his canon counter-part, yet still similar to both.

Edit: Also, RE:Dick being a cop, we have quite a lot of cops. That should be pretty interesting.

@Hillan

Perfectly understandable, I'm just waiting to see how it's executed in action. And making Damian less a piece of shit while still trying to retain his character is one of my most enjoyable self-imposed challenges XD

What you're describing doesn't really need to have an old relationship with Batman though, or even a past as a crime fighter. There are plenty of people that dislike the idea of the people rallying behind a single costumed vigilante and believe in the strength/power of the people. Hell, Lex Luthor is one of them, albeit an evil version. There's also detective Dan Turpin. And I just realized that I listed two Superman characters, but the point is still valid. :P I'm not personally against using Jason in this way, I'm just saying it'd be easy as Hell to make an OC fit the mold you're sculpting.

Edit: Re: Dick being a cop. Well he's a cop in Bludhaven, so you know. No proper jurisdiction in Gotham. :P

@ProPro

It's really just a piece of the pie of what I wanna do. It's funny that you decided to make Dick a cop, I did consider making Jason a special agent for ARGUS or some other shady organization. No better asset than a dude who's already dead, right? But I didn't think that would work, since the RP's focused on Gotham, and not on the whole DCU.

[ProPro]

Well I didn't really "make" Dick a cop. I stuck as closely to canon as possible for this. Dick is a cop. That's his day job in Bludhaven.

Fair enough.

...I must keep missing those. D: I'll always have a soft spot for the X-Men, since the 90's cartoon was one of the two things that got me into superheroes in the first place. XD ...The other being Power Rangers but I digress. Mind you, I am weird and always want to do my own spin on the Clone Saga whenever I think of doing Marvel stuff (kind of spurred on by the fact that pretty much every version of it other than the original was actually pretty good; especially the Ultimate version) but no-one ever seems to want to do Spidey as an established hero so it never works out. XD

...Anyways um... Sorry I haven't been posting. Been feeling kind of sick lately, and to be honest it's not something I mention much but I'm kind of sick a lot (not going into any more detail than that) which is kind of a damper on enthusiasm and stuff since I start to worry too much that I've not posted for a while and I'll get yelled at or something because of it but anyways. But I still really like how this is set up and Dblade said he'd help me with posts so hopefully sometime soon-ish maybe I'll get something done. Sorry about that though. ^^;

@Rin

You didn't miss anything. I haven't GMed a comic game for a long time, now. Pre-Guildfall, I think.

I also wanted to GM a Power Rangers game. lol

Feel better! I don't yell at people, I just send them PMs and ask what's going on. lol So don't worry about me.

You can join mine! The position of Big Bad has just opened back up! :D

Pink Ranger or bust for this chick. ^_^

@Ruby

Unfortunately the "pink" (or violent in this particular game) is taken. All ranger spots are taken, except for the 6th ranger (not far enough into the game to introduce one, but we have 2 players that hope to become 6th ranger once the time has come).

[Rin]

I would honestly kill for a goofy Power Rangers/Super Sentai RP, really. XD Like, something that just embraces how silly the source material is. Been tempted to give it a go myself in the past really, but... I'm a terrible GM so yeah. ^^;

[Barrett]

So I've now finished catching up on the recent slew of DC animated movies. God they were awful. JLA vs Teen Titans particularly made me want to find the writer and punch him.

[Rin]

@RoosanIs that the one where the Titans inexplicably get magical girl transformation sequences? :D

[Barrett]

@Rin
Among other things, yes. Though that moment did make me momentarily break from my disgusted trance to go "wait what".

FLASH IN THAT MOVIE

GOD DAMN HE WAS USELESS.

Superman: Breaks Flash's ankle.
Looks over at Barry. "How long will it take to heal?"
Barry: "Like.. An hour?"
Superman scoffs and says: "You've got 10 minutes"
???
His infinite mass punch on Trigon literally did nothing, too. Why DCU gotta disrespect the JL's most powerful member?

[Barrett]

@Hillan
Yeah, infinite mass punch did nothing and there's a bit where they see Flash running towards them and then spend 5-10 seconds talking about it. I mean... is he the flash or not? Because if he is, he should have been there before they noticed or, at the very least, the second they did.

Though to be honest, the entire league were useless in that film. Only Damian was in any way competent, for some reason.

[ProPro]

I never saw that one. Sounds like I should be very thankful, though.

[Barrett]

@ProPro
It mostly just followed the trend set by Son of Batman, Batman vs Robin and Bad Blood by sidelining all characters in favour of Damian.

Exactly.

Fastest man alive? More like "Slighter Faster than the average man Alive"

[ProPro]

I don't think I've seen any of them made after Son of Batman. Flashpoint Paradox was ok to me, but the SoB (lul) and Justice League: War drove me away from it all. I don't think I'm missing out on anything.
