[OOC] DC Universe REBIRTH [original DC inspired roleplay/universe]

[Omega Man]

Well we've got a Catwoman in Gotham too, and I just accepted a new Icicle who'll be based out of Gotham...

[Omega Man]

@DriveEMOut You need to flesh out the CS a little more if your guy's dad is gonna be his co-pilot in crime fighting. Also, need to include his suit having a stealth mode in the powers list. Can't just throw that sort of thing in there. I get he's a vigilante like Batman or Red Hood, but even they have to have limitations. Don't get much more tech'ed out though since this kid's only 19 and probably suffering from a social disorder or three, if the dad's the mentor you're eventually gonna need to tell us why he let a troubled kid just one day decide he wanted to be a superhero. Maybe his adopted dad is... Victor Fries? IDK, gotta give us a little more info though either way.

@The Kid Lantern

Will do. I'll add in who his father is. I already have an idea.

[Double]

Startin' to feel a tiny bit out of place. Everything's happening on the West Coast while I'm bopping around on the East Coast (Amnesty Bay is in Maine) wondering how the hell I'm supposed to get myself involved. Suppose I could hamfist Aquaman into another city for the time being, but it would be just that: hamfisted. At least it will unless I can come up with a really good reason for why Aquaman would risk leaving his city unguarded.

[cunfuzzler]

Alright, I'm starting on a post finally.

[Bluetommy]

@Double Gotham is in New Jersey, and metropolis is in driving distance, so they're both east coast.

[TheUnknowable]

@bluetommy2I've always assumed that Metropolis was a renamed New York City. Gotham would be Chicago or Detroit.

[Bluetommy]

@TheUnknowable last i heard it was canon that Gotham's in new jersey and metropolis is in new York.

[Weird Tales]

In Young Justice Gotham is in Connecticut. If we go by Batman Vs Superman continuity then the two cities are across a massive river from one another. Also in the Marvel vs DC comics it was implied that Metropolis is in Missouri

[Omega Man]

Most of the cities are based on an existing city in the 'States. For me Metropolis was always in New York, Gotham was either in Jersey or NY as well as Bludhaven. Midway is supposed to be something like Detroit. Central City was always in Kansas, and for some time it's sister city Keystone was across the bridge in Missouri. St. Roch was meant to be something like New Orleans. Star City is of course something like Seattle. The only ones I don't really have much reference for would be Ivy Town and Opal City.

I've always tried to distance myself from thinking about them in an actual geographic sense. Because they're fictional and every new writer has a different vision for the world they're writing. Except Gotham, I find it hard to separate it from a real geographic setting, but that is DC's fault for naming it a god damn synonym for New York!

[Omega Man]

I'll try and get a post up tonight before bed or in the morning. I'm pretty sure I got the job I interviewed for today though so I'm not sure when I'll be available tomorrow.

I *think* I may do something similar to the current JL flick where Batman goes and recruits a League. And since this isn't Bruce/Batman putting us together, some misunderstandings may occur.

@The Kid Lantern

By current JL flick do you mean Justice League Dark or the live action successor to BVS?

[Omega Man]

Live action, I'm certain though our League will be a lot less commercialized LOL

Though I do LOVE the majority of the recent animated movies. Have you seen the trailer for Judas Contract? They're understandably updating the Teen Titans roster and updating some stuff, but even for a classics fan like me I think it looks as good as the other films. JL Dark was great but I'm not sure I like the end with how things were left for Etrigan and Swamp Thing.

[Burning Kitty]

I haven't seen JLD yet. Just got it, haven't gotten to it yet.

I thought the TTJC was going to be a continuation of JLvTT, but it obviously isn't.

[Omega Man]

Pretty sure it is, that's the main difference with the team roster. Nightwing gets his New52 suit, but the team made in JL vs TT is in tact with Damian, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, and Nightwing. Terra was teased at the end after the credits on her way to Titans Tower in JL vs TT.

Jericho looks like he's being introduced, Brother Blood is coming along as a member and/or leader of HIVE, and Deathstroke still looks as he does in Son of Batman. I hate that Damian took his eye in this universe, but it should set up some interesting drama in Judas Contract.

@The Kid Lantern

Spoilers

What they did with Etrigan and Swamp thing really ticked me off, some third rate villain taking out SWAMP THING!?!?! SWAMP THING!!! And then they decide to act like there might be a sequel after killing off Jason Blood, and maybe even Swamp Thing.

I really loved the movie with that aside though, especially the bit with

minor spoiler

Felix Faust.

[Burning Kitty]

@The Kid Lantern

The clip I saw clearly showed the Titans meeting Starfire for the first time. She couldn't even speak English until she kissed Robin which I am assuming is Dick or Tim because it clearly wasn't Damian because Damian didn't join until after Starfire was the leader.

I guess that seen could be a flashback though.

[Burning Kitty]

I just had an idea for a Wonder Woman or any Amazon reimagining that is evil. An ultra feminist group wants to create the ultimate hero (in their eyes) they take a woman and do something to her giving her powers akin to Wonder Woman. This woman then goes out to eradicate the greatest evil the world has ever seen Man.

@Burning Kitty

Pretty sure it is/was a flashback. I liked Nightwing and Starfire clearly being the leaders of the group, but it sucks not having Cyborg around on the regular. We'll probably get a story of how Kori and Dick met, but that will likely be it. I just don't see them introducing us to Roy, Garth, Wally, and Donna.
