"That's what you have to hold on to. All of us are what we are because we lost something we thought we couldn't live without, and were proven wrong. We can survive without parents and without walking and even without always being able to protect the people we love. But we can't survive without knowing in our bones that we're not like them, not like the ones who stole from us."

This game will focus on the Bat-family, and other faces of Gotham City, not Batman. It's a sandbox style with large events for everyone to tackle thrown in. For players wanting to have fun reading and reacting, you're more than welcome to get your character and settle in. For those players who are interested in story and plot development, you're more than welcome to participate. Just send me a PM, and I'll let you see what I got; any suggestions or tweaks or twists I like I'll be more than happy to incorporate into the game and give due credit for.
Batman may or may not be dead; but for certain he won't be around during the beginning stages of the game. Well, not Bruce-Batman, I suppose if someone wanted to play a Dick-Batman then there would be a Batman. But not the Batman. This is done to give the rest of the Bat family some room to breath, and grow, in a more natural and organic way. Otherwise Gotham City is your oyster; play a Mafioso looking to bring Mafia strength back to the city, play a young Detective in GCPD looking to take up Jim Gordon's legacy, or just create your own vigilante inspired by the Bat.
Any other questions, or comments, feel free.
