[OOC] Gotham Knights - City On Fire

[Kazemitsu]

Everyone has been handed their asses at one point by a single being in both comic universes. So the power scaling of all the supers and mutants are always in flux.

[Burning Kitty]

So is Deathstroke actually suppose to be able to hand the entire group their asses? Cause doesn't that kinda undermine the usefulness of the team?

(Yes, I do know there was that one issue where he beat up everyone. But pretty much any other issue has scaled him down significant. Or am I missing something?)

@Unknown100

I took it to mean that he could beat them all on a one on one basis, not one on group basis.

[Unknown100]

Yeah, I probably just misunderstood :)

Edit: And should have formulated it in a PM...

[Burning Kitty]

Yeah, I probably just misunderstood :)

@Unknown100

If you are right then damn Deathstroke is more badass than I thought.

[Omega Man]

Deathstroke with his regular gear was paid by Dr. Light during ID Crisis to keep the League off of him. This wasn't some form of the big seven, it was a League that included Kyle Rayner/GL, Elongated Man, Hawkman, etc. something like 12 members... and Slade held his own. Right off the bat he kneecapped Flash with a shotgun blast and broke the ring hand of the Lantern taking his head out of the game to focus on his broken limb...

My biggest beef with DC is that Slade hasn't actually killed anybody high profile. Let him kill some redundant villains and a hero or two. I've always wanted him to kill Hawkman since he can be reincarnated.

Why stop at Hawkman he should go for Hawkgirl too.

[Omega Man]

They're bringing the reincarnation angle Geoff Hawkman back in DC Metal, so I'm hopeful for the Hawks again.

[Burning Kitty]

Most of the Hawks I find lame. Except for Hawkgirl from JL/JLU she had actual wings, not fake wings.

[Omega Man]

Nth metal was what the Thanagarians used, the natural wings was only in the animated universe and maybe other Elseworlds. The Hawks weapons and wings were always Nth metal. Though in the 40's I'm pretty sure it was called 'ninth metal.'

@vancexentan can we hear what your character is doing?
He's a good and different character from the rest.

[Omega Man]

@Burning Kitty How did Guardian come to the conclusion Ra's daughter was dead? Nobody but Batman and Slade saw the body, and Batman didn't exactly come out of the bunker screaming what was down there?

The League of Assassins won't be coming back until the next arc. Slade was their man on the inside as they knew who he was under the mask and that his daughter had been taken as well. Need to figure out something else to scream to Guardian's people.

[Burning Kitty]

Surveillance camera is the easiest way. With Batman & Slade going there it could have opened up areas that were restricted before. But if you want I can remove that.

Slade came out with only Barbara and Rose, which could have been seen on surveillance camera. It is an easy deduction to make that Nyssa was dead.

[Omega Man]

Yeah the bunker wouldn't have been anything surveillance could've got to and Slade left her body down there. Batman's hoping Ra's will know where to put the blame. Guardian could drop down and get in on the beating of meatheads now that the lights are back on and shits hit the fan.

There's a couple twists towards the end of this arc that many of you won't see coming at all.

[Burning Kitty]

I am going to guess <insert character> is not <insert character> but a shapeshifter. So is it cool to leave him contacting his organization or about Nyssa's death based on a conclusion drawn from the fact that she didn't come out or should I remove it.

[vancexentan]

@Unknown100He's probably still at the diner unless a good part of time has passed. He's passively waiting for leads to show up. If you guys really want to see more of him he could be watching the news or something along those lines. Usually when he does his work it's a quick matter to find the guy and gun him down in some sort of fashion this isn't his usual MO so he's just kind of waiting.

@Burning Kitty

There are no shapeshifters. I didn't leave as many clues for this ending like I did with the Deathstroke reveal. Anybody that paid attention to my posts would've seen the little things every time. For example... Jack only ever looked over his left shoulder. And he was blindsided from the right like twice.

I'd just have Guardian watching the perimeter from the roof and when the lights come back on and shit hits the fan let him come through the skylight.

[Burning Kitty]

There are no shapeshifters.

@Member 00492

That is what a shapeshifter would say.

[Omega Man]

I used to use shapeshifters as plot devices in stories... when I was twelve. Shit's overdone now. Like news reporters becoming superheroes, rich people buying superpowers, and super scientists in lab accidents. Once you see it a dozen times you just need something new.

The ending of this arc might have a bit of an Injustice feel to it. The knife Batman's looking for won't be here... and for good reason. And the post-mission scene in the Bat-Cave will... well I don't wanna spoil it. Where will Slade be in the end? Who am I gonna pick up as a character in the next arc? And what shape will Batman be in moving forward?

@vancexentan

Well, let us hear a brief description of what your character is doing 😉

Besides, we can only post after two others have done so in this rp.
