Bio

Very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.

There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking. I highly suggest you try it.

This seems kind of like it runs into a similar problem as The Wasp application - it seems built entirely on the premise of amalgamations. Which isn't really what this game is about. Are there further changes to the dynamics you're planning for the story? Like with Abigail Brand being Deadman. That seems to just be out of nowhere, frankly.
Nah, it's only Year One.

*begins plotting Bruce and Selina's immediate eloping for Year Two*
To what extent do you think this is King's decision? Sometimes I suspect that edicts from above are sometimes responsible for very unpopular twists in stories that threaten to change the status quo of big marque characters – and writers are made to wear those changes as if responsible themselves.

I just find it hard to believe that King – who has been fantastic on a lot of other titles – would suddenly become so tin-eared. But I guess weirder things have happened.


There's a small likelihood that DC told him to nix them going through with it, but there've been alot of signs in the run leading up to the marriage that it'd go down that way - not to mention that it lines up with alot of stupider, edge-lord Batman moments from King's run in the past. As I said the other day, the man just doesn't understand Bruce Wayne, no matter how good of a writer he is on other titles. This unfortunately runs perfectly in line with his mentality of Batman being a character who exists to brood and occasionally be a superhero, rather than the other way around. Hell, the entire arc post-proposal to Selina was about Bruce brooding and explaining why Selina may not want to marry him. It was one of the stupidest things I've read in some time.

The only thing that shocks me about this outcome is that King had Selina be the one to be the one to make the decision, given he's actually done a great job characterizing her prior to this issue. And the new Catwoman series immediately dashed the idea that this is gonna be resolved anytime soon, given she's back to just doing her 'just a thief' thing instead of going on newer, more exciting adventures.

So it's possible DC wanted to make room for the new book or something. But, I also wouldn't be surprised if King planned this all along.

I was going to include that, but 1) good luck finding a way to watch it, and 2) it is clearly the superior Marvel movie, and thus immune to my mocking.


I've found it before on Youtube. Don't know if it's been removed, but it's shown up periodically.

Hey, at least Selina's still on the same goddamn planet as Bruce. Lois and Jon are off having space-adventures with not-dead-anymore Jor-El so Bendis doesn't have to write family scenes.


She might aswell not be, given the amount of backtracking King managed to pull out of his ass in the span of one issue. She's not even the same character she's been for the last thirty-plus issues anymore, and it's for the dumbest "He has to be in pain all of the time to be Batman"-type of edgelordy bullshit reason imaginable.

@Master Bruce What happend? Are you okay?


Eh, I'll live. Just venting my nerd rage at a great storyline that was essentially rendered a giant marketing con for like an entire year.





In comic news that nobody wanted, Batman #50 is a big stinking pile of bullshit and I now feel similarly to @Bounce's hatred of Grant Morrison with Tom King.

Fuck that dude.

Also, three movies? I'll have you all know that as far as I'm concerned, there are four movies.

I didn't know about MB. I was in New Frontier and Wraiths last game, but never heard of him before.


I only recently returned to the RPG fold. For awhile we had tried to restart interest on the Superhero Hype boards, our home base essentially, but too many games died and I took off for about a year or so.
Because samples are pointless, and a waste of space, so they are half-assed or simply old posts that are linked for reference. Abolish samples when?

Hey, my sample was two posts combined together. I didn't half-ass anything... I over-assed it.
Not nessescarily. I don't even know what that'd be, really, apart from issue after issue of him committing a massacre and having the Robins cannibalize people.
So @Master Bruce, which is your favorite of Snyder's Nightmare Batmen?


Yo.
