The original RP I'm trying to restart.

One and a half years ago a new Metahuman named "Anarchy" appeared, attacking government sites around the world. After each attack, he would post allegations against the government and site he attacked. This made him the enemy of the Justice League, who considered him to just be another super-villain who was trying to hurt people. He ended up working with various villains because of this and, one year ago, they attacked Cadmus, drawing the Justice League to them.

During that fight Anarchy tried to talk Superman into standing down and, when that didn't work, pulled a shotgun out. Thinking that it couldn't hurt him, Superman slowly flew towards him, and Anarchy fired. The Kryptonite shards the gun fired embedded themselves into him and, after Anarchy shot him again just to make sure, Luthor landed behind the Man of Steel and drew a ten inch Kryptonite blade and ran it through his back. Anarchy reminded him that no one else was to die, and Luthor scowled, but complied. After the battle, Anarchy burned the body along with the Kryptonite and buried the ashes at a memorial in Metropolis.

A week later Anarchy walked before all of the former Justice League members who were now being held in Belle Reve. "I held you here just to make sure you didn't try and stop us while we finished our mission. Every politician and military leader that refused to step down is now in prison awaiting trial for crimes against humanity. In order to guarantee that you can't secretly reinstall them into positions of power or continue to secretly rule the world from the shadows, every one of your secret identities is now public knowledge. Now, if you'll go through that door over there," he pointed to a door to his right, "your gear will be returned and your power-dampening collars removed. Welcome to the new world."

---

Mark Patterson, CEO of Phoenix Security Services, formerly known as Anarchy, was in a meeting with his head of security operations, John Stewart. He looked up as Kevin Kirk, his assistant, opened the door. "Sir, there two men here to see you, Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen."

"Of course," he said, "send them in." After they entered, he greeted them. Neither looked too happy to see him, but they weren't openly hostile. "So, how's the the plan coming?"

"Not too good," said Queen, "Building a prison colony at the bottom of ocean isn't exactly easy, but Aquaman is letting us hire Atlantians to build and crew it."

---

You can play as any kind of character you want. I'll make the script work for the characters.

The locations I've created so far are the Watchtower, now the Lunar Resort, which uses "Young Justice" Zeta tubes to get to it, and the Phoenix office, which could be in Gotham or Metropolis, depending on where we start.

So basically <insert hero> gets captured, the badguys win, and <insert hero> just says fuck it and joins them?

Do you even know who some of those heroes are? Batman would never help Anarchy no matter what.

@Burning KittyNo, Anarchy is an Anti-hero at worst. He doesn't like government, and the JL sided with the governments and went after him, so he had to help the bad guys. He kept them from killing people, though, as he was amping their powers and stronger than most of them.

Batman's reason is basically "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."
Arrow just sees him as a misguided idealist, and works with him because crime is down since the collapse because he got most of the criminals to go straight because they make more money that way.

Neither are actually his ally, and would turn on him if he started hurting people.

If the Joker had info that could take down Lex Luthor, he might work with him on something that didn't hurt anyone, or pay him for it.
That's basically what he's doing here. He's not convinced that this isn't Anarchy's end game, so he's playing along in hopes of finding out what that is so he can stop it.

@TheUnknowableEverything you said only portrays Oliver and Bruce as mentally deficient imbecile who are the minions of evil.

They sided with the man who joined super villains, murdered Superman. By joining him no matter the good intention they have declared themselves the enemy of everything good and pure, and every action they have ever taken and will ever take is now permanently tainted as the actions of a super villain.

If you are willing to accept a character who will treat Bruce, Oliver, and any former hero who sided with Anarchy as the super villains they are. I'm game. If Damian exists he will get the same treatment because he is a member of the League of Assassins, plus he is just a rotten bastard of a person.

Who were the members of the JL when Superman died?

@Burning KittyI see them as pragmatists, but I can see why you'd think that.
If you want to play a character that hates them (and Green Lantern too) that's fine.

If John is still a GL then the Guardians are doing a terrible job.

@Burning KittyHe's still fighting villains in this sector, he's just working with one to facilitate it.

Besides, Sinestro was still one when he conquered his home world, so it's possible. Or I could have him go rogue and keep the ring if that doesn't make sense to anyone.

Sinestro was a genius who was able to hide it for years. Didn't help the Guardians ain't that bright and had blinders on when it came to their golden boy Sinestro.

John may be a great guy but he ain't as smart as Sinestro.

Villains fight each other all the time, doesn't make that action the action of a hero.

@Burning Kittyif the others have a problem with it, I'll have him give his ring up, switch colors (maybe blue), or use a knock-off built by Phoenix.

@RumikoOharaI think its plausible enough that they'd work with Anarchy to fight other criminals that it's not that hard to accept.

I see this as a "What if?" style Universe

Who knows Maybe in this Universe Batman is openly Gay or the Joker's Turned Good Guy, who knows what's up?
