Watch out.

The gap in the door... it's a separate reality.
The only me is me.
Are you sure the only you is you?

Oh, not again. Try it now?
Man, we are getting all the fun concepts for this one.

Where's @Roman with Sonic?


With the teaser for 4 dropping today it is tempting but one of those where I'm not sure I could write the characters authentically enough to do them justice. I am cooking some other bits and pieces and might come back with something I've never done before - watch this space.
Hi gang, I've been battling trying to get in the groove and the more I plan and think and ultimately write, the less confident I am in the idea and to be quite honest the less interested in it I am. What began as a couple reinventions of Mad Hatter and the Ten-Eyed Man turned into something more ambitious but I fear not anything that had proper legs, or at least not that I can get under me.

In seeing the creative and fun things others are bringing to the table I want to go back to the drawing board and find something I really feel invested in and inspired by, because ultimately 'Gotham Nights' isn't that, for me at least. With that said, I'm going to withdraw Gotham Nights at this point and return to the conceptual stage to find something that really gets me worked up, in the same way my original run of Absolute Hellblazer back in Worlds Collide did, and brings an excitement back to writing for me.
Ghost Rider - Danielle Ketch, ft. Carter Slade, Zarathos, Mephisto, Highwayman, Null the Living Darkness. Potential making of Dani into a Rider to try and combat the return of an eldritch old god of fear, The Straw Man. Tie it into the Fear Lords?

Spider-Man - Peter Parker. Clone-saga-esque plot ft. Ben Reilly, Kaine Parker, and Doppelganger (as well as other failed Spider-Man clones), as well as failed cloning attempts of Green Goblin creating Hobgoblin, and failed clone attempts of Miles Warren creating Carrion.

Savage Spider-Man existing concept.

Black Knight - Dane Whitman, the latest generation in a family cursed to guard the world from the evil of the Ebony Blade. Pull from Arthurian myth - Lancelot reincarnated in search of his lost love Lady Guinevere, Mordred resurrected hellbent on retrieving Excalibur as rightly his as divine heir, Percival and Galahad as the long-forgotten Greatest Knights in the world, Dagonet the ancient jester, Pelleas the Red Knight, Morgana le Fay the evil sorceress and Arthur's long-lost sister, Nimue/Lady of the Lake, the Questing Beast once again in need of hunting and slaying, the Fisher King whose kingdom is reduced to a wasteland, The Green Knight,

Dane Whitman is a directionless loser in New York, still (poorly) dealing with the fallout from his father's unexpected death, and completely isolated from any sense of family, companionship, or brotherhood. His mother left when he was a child; his Dad moved them from England to New York soon after; and he never knew his father's side of the family before he died. He feels bereft, lonely, and unsure of what his purpose is or what he should be doing with his life, lost without the guidance of his father.

Dane Whitman is unaware that many people sacrifice themselves silently and in secret for the sake of a people who will never even know they existed at all. Dane Whitman is unaware that his family line is centuries-old and defined by quiet magnanimity. Dane Whitman is unaware that sometimes, Destiny gets bored waiting to be found, and sometimes decides to come right to you instead.

Dane Whitman is about to discover who he really is.

After realizing Gotham Nights just wasn't cutting the mustard for me, I went back to the drawing board and went looking for something completely fresh - something I'd never done before, never even considered before, barely even knew existed before. I scoured comic runs and franchise characters, looking for new things. Then I found Dane Whitman and the Black Knight and the Ebony Blade, and the legacy of his ancestry, and then I fell down a rabbit-hole of Arthurian myth, and then I started getting excited.

This will be an origin story for Dane Whitman, the next incarnation of Marvel's Black Knight, the fated guardian of the Ebony Blade; he will grapple with this secret family legacy and the weight of the task now assigned to him, unwitting and unrequested; he will discover a world just behind the one he's lived in for two-and-a-half decades, that's not about to slow down to accommodate him; he will be forced to learn what being noble and virtuous and honourable really means.

Uniquely for me, it's also a perfect character and story for heavy interaction; how better to learn how to be a hero than from those who are already out there fighting the good fight? How better to battle monsters and slay dragons than with a little help from your friends? How better to get used to this strange new world of heroics and villainy than immersing yourself in it completely?

It's fresh. It's new. It's swords and shields, Knights and Maidens, mythology and folklore and the modern era. It's Black Knight, baby.

Many Gotham-based sheets are posted early and bring Bruce quickly into the fold, delivering either a daring reinterpretation or a tried-and-true classic foundation for the Dark Knight. Infrequently, but no less notable, a Gotham-based sheet might instead propose one of the Robins or their grown-up counterparts, heroes from the wider legacy of the Bat-family, or even unaffiliated Gotham characters like Zatana or Black Canary.

This is not that.

Gotham Nights is planned to be a series of vignettes with varying levels of relevancy to one another, each focused on one of the more overlooked members of Gotham’s extensive rogues gallery, re-imagining a handful of select villains and their dastardly schemes with Bruce and his many allies distinctly out of the spotlight. It’s a way to tell Gotham stories without tying myself up with the Beast Named Batman, and to allow room for others to approach that legacy from as many angles as they like while still enabling me to dip my toes in DC’s most characterful city. When evil plots need foiling, a hero will be there, but not one defined and therefore ultimately limited by me; until then, the Bats of Gotham remain flexible and available, and I still get to play.

My goal with Gotham Nights is to play with the colourful villains of DC and Marvel (where appropriate) without tying myself (or anyone else!) down to one specific interpretation of Batman or his many allies. Even then, I'm more interested (at least initially) in visiting some of the less common rogues, so heavy-hitter villains like Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler, are still readily available for any Batman or associated sheet that might come along. Until those sheets do arrive, I'll utilize the heroes of Gotham sparingly and with broad strokes, and should someone apply I will remain flexible to their concept.

Ultimately, my intention is to write shorter, more self-contained stories focused on villain characters, and not bog myself down in weaving big concepts and expansive myth arcs that I would more than likely burn myself out on.
