I hadn't quite keyed in on a single character as of this minute. I've been reading the OOC thread and through the IC thread to get a feel of the game and mulling over some possible choices. First and foremost I'd quite like to play someone that allowed for a lot of interaction so I mulled over picking up a Bat-villain like Two-Face for a while but given the large number of Bat characters already I didn't want to crowd one section of the game's universe too much. Maybe someone like Booster Gold? Given that this game has a Blue Beetle.
Like I said though, my mind hasn't been completely made up but I imagine I'll have chosen and written/submitted a CS within a day or so, I guess I've just been trying to get a feel of whether there's any character the game actively needs, especially with "The Light" thing on the horizon. It feels odd not having some of the more marque characters PCed.
Fair enough. Choose whoever you like. While I'd love to have the entire Justice League roster PC'ed, it isn't necessary for the game. Booster Gold would be awesome, as would any other character you bring to the table, I'm sure.
One of my favourite things so far has been some how of the ambient chatter hints towards a larger universe. Militia using the term 'metahuman' while another tells him to quit it because 'they're just freaks'; thugs saying they'd rather occupy Gotham than Keystone because 'at least they can see Batman coming', whereas Flash would be a red streak and a bruise. Coupled with the sheer size of the map you're allowed to play around in it really does a good job of making you feel like this is your city, but you belong to a larger, cohesive whole.
Plus you get to drive the freaking batmobile how fucking cool is that!?
This is why I love the Arkham games in general. Rocksteady did a fantastic job of building the world around you. When you play the games, you don't feel like a guy mashing buttons on a controller. You feel like Batman.
