Batman Elimination Game Suggestion Box

[trustyside-kick]

I think I'm going to dust some of the older ideas around this joint; Locations, B:TAS B-List Villains and the rest of the Elseworlds stories come to mind. Also, I'm working on a Signature Item round to what is most associated with Batman (Batarang, Batmobile, Batcave, Ulility Belt, Partners, etc.) I'm too lazy to fill it out right now, so try to not let the anticipation overwhelm you.

I know we did a B:TAS episodes round, but perhaps a round divided by seasons should be done. This works a lot better for the two seasons of 'Gotham Knights' series, as most of the original version's eps are Season 1. We'd have to re-distribute somehow.

I had a passing thought concerning listing Batman's attributes into a round; 'Defining Characteristic' so to speak (detective skills, fighting prowess, intimidation factor, etc). Likely a short round in terms of choices. I hope to give it some more thought, but that damn laziness is kicking in again.

And before I forget, I will look into trusty's idea about the best JL/JLU episode featuring Batman.

You're too kind.

I already mentioned that for development/inclusion

...and I handle the self-promotion around this place, pal!

How about a 'Batman Moments' in the movies- From a list of 10 or whatever from one film you eliminate down to a final couple couple, and put it into final overall elimination game.

For example Batman's moments could include the "What are you?" scene at the start, the Joker electricuting the mob boss and the 'Descent into Mystery' Batmobile journey.

Batman Returns could include the introduction of Catwoman to Batman and the Penguin, tree lighting ceremony with the bats, and the finale.

And so on. If you include the animated films, there could be a lot of Elimination Games.

 

[Mister J]

I thought about just a general movies moments round, but didn't think to do it by movies and then compile the top choices into a final round. Me likey.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Looks like you were wrong in your predictions, Mister J. That one BTAS quote hasn't been touched at all.

 

[Mister J]

That was Fledermaus' prediction about the "vengeance" quote. I'm never wrong.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Time to get down to business as to what the next round will be. Want me to look more into the JL/JLA episodes featuring Bats? Unless people have better ideas.

 

[Mister J]

Yeah, look into that. Off the top of my head, Epilogue, This Little Piggy and Only a Dream come to mind. I'm going to start clearing out of some of the old ideas laying around; starting with the B:TAS B List villains. It shouldn't take long. I have a feeling which way it's going to go.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Alright. The short B:TAS Villains Part II round is over. What next? I forgot to look into the JL/JLU episodes thing. I can try to have a list compiled by Monday if you wanna do that next.

I'll look forward to this if it gets done.

btw I enjoyed that best quote round :up

 

[trustyside-kick]

Yea. The quotes round was awesome.

Ok, seriously, I was suggesting only or actually stating that this was the option I liked more.

Indeed, I voted for "Signature Bat-Item" in the recent poll, but I didn't know what that supposed to mean, I thought it was referring to Batman related products, like statues, action figures and things like that.
And I didn't realise that it was a multiple choice poll until after I had already voted.

 

[Mister J]

Vote taken into consideration.

Nobody likes that GCPD round. I'm gonna have to come up with something else to make use of more prominent characters.

 

[Bat Attack]

"Batman Villian Lair Elimination".

 

[Fledermaus]

BWAHAHAHA. A Dog avatar. Awesome. Anyway, WTF Mister J? Where is the game, man? Where's the game?

 

[batmaluco]

WTF Mister J? Where is the game, man? Where's the game?

Bump!

Most Engrossing Interpersonal Dynamic
(I'll wind up just calling it Best Relationship or something, but I'm feeling rather loquacious at the time.)

Baby Doll/Killer Croc
Barbara Gordon/Dinah Lance/Helena Bertinelli
Bruce Wayne/Alfred Pennyworth
Bruce Wayne/Andrea Beaumont
Bruce Wayne/Barbara Gordon
Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson
Bruce Wayne (primarily as Batman)/James Gordon
Bruce Wayne/Tim Drake

Dick Grayson/Barbara Gordon
Dick Grayson/Tim Drake
The Joker/Harley Quinn
Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Mister J, could you add 'Bruce Wayne/Andrea Beaumont' in that?

 

[Mister J]

Hmm. That brings the B:TAS universe (which people love) into play and adds some depth to some of the already listed choices. Why the hell not? Unless Tribal Council speaks otherwise, it's done. Round number of choices, be damned.
