Gotham: A New Generation (OOC)

[United States of Brainy]

Ok sorry I’m here, I’ll post.

Hey, Mank! No prob, take your time!

[Tamrida]

So, Brainy, I have an important question, specifically the Question. (Ha-ha-ha)

Would the Question be allowed as a character?

Also, Yaana, in case you didn't see it, my post regarding the base is up.

Wise guy, huh? Maybe you should be auditioning for the Comedian instead of the Question.

And, of course, the Question would be allowed! Either Vic Sage or Renee Montoya. Why wouldn't he/she be allowed? Because Vic is dead?

I asked because you didn't want Green Arrow to be too close to Batman, and in my opinion the Question is pretty similar to Batman as is.

[United States of Brainy]

Brainy's already made the ruling obviously but I don't see why the Question couldn't be in it, and the same for the Green Arrow who was mentioned a bit earlier.

Thanks so much, Yaana! Your gift card is in the mail!

Hopefully it's of a bit higher value this time!

Okay, it's official! Question and Green Arrow are officially allowed as characters!

And it's a like a $1,000,000,000 gift card made of solid platinum inland with unicorn sprinkles!

Close to Bats in that both Bats and GA are alpha heroes, the top dogs in their respective heaps. I just didn't want GA overshadowing everyone but I don't think that's gonna be an issue.

Should just allow Batman...

Should just allow Batman...

I will think that over. Are you applying for the job?

All you have to do is say "I'm Batman" in a gruff voice and the fight is already over.

Robbers stealing from a museum? I'm Batman.

Catwoman stealing priceless jewels? I'm Batman.

Poison Ivy trying to take back Gotham from the plague of humanity? I'm Batman.

Hey Skarten! If you're still around, I need to know what your henchmen look like! I know you said they're dressed as Ottomans but we talking this-

Or this-

For that matter, what is Historian dressed as?

If you open it up I would, but I expect it won't just be me who wants him though.

Assuming he does get introduced, whoever it is, I think it would need to be at the right time. It needs more set up before he can come in, when the heroes are in their hour of need. The bad guys are executing their evil plans, and the Bat-family is in crisis. He can come in and bring the family back together, and inspire them to save the day. That sorta thing. I feel like with the tension between Dick/Barbara and Tim's difficulties to deal with that, there is a bit of a Batman-shaped hole there for them, probably them thinking that Bruce would know what to do if he were there. He never got a proper exit, just shooting off because duty with the JL called. If he comes back, he can help them get over their issues and realise they didn't need him that much after all - that they're stronger than him when they work together or something sappy along those lines. Something that can put him in an important role supporting everyone else for the most part rather than hogging the limelight.

Would Charley be able to respond to that ad then?

Imagine all the hours Bruce spent in the mirror practicing just so he could get it right!

I'd say more like the first picture.
For the historian, i don't know,this?

Oh, I wouldn't be opening it up to everyone, Batman is too important a character for that. I'm handpicking the person that plays Bats. And after seeing how you play Harl, if you want him, consider him yours. And I agree with everything you said, we need to save him for just the right moment, like Cap's entrance in Infinity War. Man, I should have sent you a TG so we could keep it a secret and make it a big surprise! Oh well...

You know, that sorta looks like Dr. Meredith!

Shh, we never talked about it.

Ok posted. And Yanna playing Bats has me feeling really excited.

[Skarten]

Jesus Mank, you're too violent.
You gotta knock them out, not stab them in the throat.

What about me? I would be perfect for Batman

You don't need to be like too light, but don't go full bloodbath either.
For example, instead of launching a knife at someone's head, launch it at their chest or arm.
Only kill if ye need to, but thanks for editing.

Also, do you want Damian to fight The Historian?
Katana vs the Sword of Osman, that'd be cool.

Shameless plug but I've actually done it before here in a RP that had a few other people from this thread in (Sterk was Moon Knight, PF was OP, and Bycrest was the Riddler again) - assuming anyone actually cares that much about it and wants to see if I have the acting chops to pull off the Batman.

[The Tricolour]

Whoever does play Batman, I think it's way too early to bring him back now.

1. Batman won't come back just to bust some third-rate villains who are trying to rob a bank, a museum, ect. If an alien in Gotham starts eating people, that might be a different story, but that hasn't happened yet, and it might not ever.
2. If Batman comes back, the Joker will probably come back. Batman probably knows this. And there would have to be a handpicked Joker player, too.
3. The whole point of the RP is to get rid of Batman. It wouldn't make sense for him to come back once a week or so, even if the Bat-Family quickly falls apart due to infighting (which might happen).

It also might be interesting to have the Bat-Family shatter for good, or least for a long time. That way, the GCPD would have to rely on newer heroes, while the former members of the Bat-Family would have to reckon with the fact that they've "failed" Batman.

Just my opinion, though.
