Looks great, your submission is APPROVED. Do you mind if we don't use the "armpit window" suit for Catwoman? Maybe the suit from Hush or something similar? If the suit you chose is your favorite, I don't mind using it.

That is so fine. I've updated it now :)

]Looking at the timeline, Selina's mom could have been killed by Spanish influenza.

Totally a possibility. I've left it rather open ended on purpose as I'd assume Selina wouldn't really know the reason/would blane it on her father even if it wasn't really his fault

Also, what is Selina's relationship to Holly Robinson (assuming she exists)?


I'd imagine she was one of the orphaned teens Selina befriended in her youth and remained friends with, perhaps even lived with in her early 20s

Gotcha. Holly is frequently depicted as a kind of little sister to Selina.

Yeah, i'd imagine that would have been their dynamic. I'm happy to elaborate on it in/add it to the backstory. It just didn't seem super important to the RP

I think the backstory is fine as it is, no need to make any changes unless you just want to.

In the notes to Batman: Year One, artist David Mazzuchelli explained that he based Bruce Wayne's face on Gregory Peck, who would fit in perfectly with this timeline:

Add Adam Hughes' Audrey Hepburn as Selina Kyle:

and you have a perfect Roman Holiday:

Hmm, this seems like it could be interesting. Is Batgirl on the table?

Yes! I'd prefer Barbara Gordon, but Cassandra Cain (and possibly Stephanie Brown) are also possible.

Awesome, can't wait!

As soon as we get a Bruce and maybe a Jason, I think I'll likely start the game.

By the way: Dick should be about 20-24 in 1954, with Barbara being 2-3 years older than Dick.

@DClassified @Fabricant451 @KaliW @SouffleGirl123: Would any of you happen to know anyone who would be interested in playing Bruce Wayne? It isn't urgent by any means - I won't be starting the game for a while yet.

Great, make sure her backstory fits the time period, of course.

For sure! I was thinking of keeping it pretty similar to her basic comic backstory, being a child of Shiva and David Cain, raised by Cain to be a mute assassin. Perhaps to theme her historically though, she could have grown up in Hong Kong amidst WW2/Chinese Cultural Revolution, with Cain trying to train her as a tool for taking out contracted targets. Then, she runs away to Gotham, trying to follow Bats' footsteps, and eventually gets taken into the Batfamily. I think I'd also like to avoid the whole "telepath rewriting her brain" idea, emphasizing that while she struggles with language, she's taking formal speech training with help from Alfred and other allies.

Would 17 or 18 be a good age for her?

Yeah, I think that works really well for her. I'm not sure why they had to have a telepath rewire her brain, instead of just having her gradually learn to read and write.

Since Babs is still Batgirl as far as I know, should Cass be calling herself Orphan/Black Bat?
