Batman Elimination Game Suggestion Box

[Spidey]

I just came with an idea for a future game to do after we finish the Batman movies thing.

We could look at large runs/arcs, list out each issue for them, and vote which issues of those runs/arcs were the best. An example? Sure:

- The Long Halloween was 13 issues long. There would 13 nominations to vote for, being each issue obviously.

I think this could be something new to try, that would definitely make the game more interesting.

Not a bad idea. Even if people read the TPB and couldn't differentiate between individual issues, they could at least vote for their favorite cover.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Actually, I'd prefer that didn't happen. That would just make it a "vote for your favorite cover" game which would be pointless. The point is to vote for your favorite issue/issues of the TPB/arc/run.

Cause in TPBs, they always divide up the issues. They have the cover, without the title on it or anything else for that matter, as a page with just the picture. It isn't hard to distinguish which issue is which.

Any word on another round?

 

[Fledermaus]

What the f#ck Mister J? It's been 3 weeks since the last round ended. The next one better be awesome.

 

[Mister J]

Yikes and Gadzooks! Which one of these rates higher on the awesome scale?

I have been waiting for this so long

 

[union_jak]

Been a few months... any more Movie Moments? We've still got the animated films and the grand finale round to do yet!

 

[union_jak]

Some pretender to your throne is doing an elimination game now

Where are you!??

 

[union_jak]

Come on Mister J!!! What happened to Begin's Movie Moments? or MOTP? Or the final!?



Oops thats 3 in a row for me

 

[Mister J]

I'm pretty sure that three posts in a row, all over a decent period of time, is the internet equivalent of summoning Candyman. Low and behold, here I am.

We did Begins here. Where were you?!
Oh, I see you were there with 117 posts, so ...umm, yeah, never mind.

We could do the animated rounds, but from past experience, it seems as if the majority weren't that familiar with them. I wonder if it'd only be 4 or 5 of us voting back and forth.

Well, that and wondering if I haven't driven off all the regulars with my incredible indolence. It's been like 6 months.

However, your patience and persistence shall be rewarded, jak. Not in money or anything of tangible value, but rather by the reemergence of this little venture. Go tell it on the mountaintop, for it shall be done. Let us deliberate on the new treasure to bring forth in celebration.

Also, I've seen those new games. They suck. No style at all.

 

[union_jak]

Oh Mister J, it's been so long and my mind isn't what it once was

I completely forgot about the Begins round... forgive me.

 

[Mister J]

I'll re-watch MotP tonight and come up with a list. I'll see if anything else springs to mind in the meanwhile. Bring forth ye suggestions.

Who shall stand with me in this Brave New World?

God, I'm full of myself.

Yea. When the first set of those new crappy games started, I tried monitoring the first one even though I wasn't the thread starter...but it was getting ridiculous. The thread starter was the main one messing up.

Bring back the Good 'Ol Days, Mister J.

Oh, Good Gotham. I just noticed your avatar. It's simply beautiful. Strangely enough, I can't account for the 5 minutes or so of time between when I first saw it and now.

trusty, old friend. 'Tis good to see you. Your presence is a most welcome inclusion as we attempt to reclaim this land of Bat-World as our own.

I ponder the whereabouts of other past allies; Sir Fleder of Maus and Madame Gig come to mind.

...

I think I may need to excuse myself to go compose a sonnet or something. I'm starting to get on my own nerves.

Her booty is hypnotic. I only wish it lasted longer.

You aren't getting on my nerves, you demi-god of the Batboards, you t:

So ...,

• Full blown Mask of the Phantasm moments round (15 choices or so); or
• Shorter random round with about 10 choices just to get this thing moving again?

[union_jak]

It's a great list

 

[Superwoman Prime]

I am more appreciative of the old elimination games, now that I've had ample time to miss them.

 

[Finlandman]

(suggestion for a new round). Best dynamic between Bats and other JLA member. (Superman would win this though.)

 

[trustyside-kick]

Nah, we have to finish the movie-scene rounds first.

 

[batmaluco]

Agreed!
