Batman Elimination Game Suggestion Box

[Iceman]

Sounds interesting.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I'm thinking to do an Elimination Round of top finishers first. Something short; just 10-12 choices just to see how it goes. It'll be up sometime tomorrow.

What I suggested? This:

Thanks for the idea Mister J and Spidey-Bat about checking threads made by Doc Ock. I went through and here were the winners of each of the 13 games with the category names included:

Round 1 (Villains)- The Joker
Round 2 (Supporting Characters)- Cassandra Cain
Round 3 (Graphic Novels)- The Long Halloween
Round 4 (Batman interpretations)- BTAS
Round 5 (Batman costumes)- Batman Begins
Round 6 (Batman on screen)- BTAS
Round 7 (Villains Part 2)- Lady Shiva
Round 8 (BTAS Villains)- The Joker
Round 9 (Batman writers)- Denny O'Neil
Round 10 (Women of Batman)- Harley Quinn
Round 11 (Batman's Batmobiles)- BTAS
Round 12 (Live action Batman villains)- Liam Neeson
Round 13 (Batman artists)- Tim Sale

Perhaps we could play a round for which round was the best? Either based just from the category of the round or based from the outcome. What you guys think?

I love the idea for best BTAS episodes but here is just another future option.

Gotta add the newest addition

[trustyside-kick]

Hmmm, I would have to re-watch a few of those on the list for me to think of adding any other but good choices.

 

[Fledermaus]

How about doing story arcs? From say Crisis to Crisis (86-06). Have to be multiple issues, maybe just from Detective or Batman? Here's a short list.

Year One
10 Nights of the Beast
Death in the Family
A Lonely Place of Dying
Year 3
The Idiot Root
Knightfall
Knightsend
Prodigal
Cataclysm
No Man's Land
Officer Down
Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive
Hush
Broken City
War Games
As the Crow Flies
Under The Hood
Year 2
Blind Justice
The Mud Pack
Destroyer
War Crimes
Contagion
Legacy
City Of Crime

 

[Mister J]

Interesting, Fledermaus. My only concern is that it would be too similar to Graphic Novels/TPBs. However, there is enough of a difference in those respective themes to get it done. I'm liable to hold off on it for a while, but it's in the queue.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Sounds interesting...but we are doing the BTAS episodes next...right?

 

[Mister J]

Yep. I'm going through some eps and looking at the list to try to make it as inclusive as possible.

 

[Mister J]

What's the feeling if the TAS round were actually to be in three parts? There would be two shorter round of 15 eps, which would go until those lists got to 4. Then those remaining 8 eps would be in a final round. Too much effort or am I being delusional and should instead, stop my babble and go with 25?

I'm giving it thought to make the round more manageable instead of a cumbersome list of 25. Or does it matter?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Sounds like you want to do what the X-Men games do. I don't hate the idea but then again I do not see the need for it. Personally, I liked the first few lists you made but meh.

 

[Mister J]

I'm actually partial to just doing one 25 list, but I don't want it to drag onand bore people. Then again, TAS is pretty popular.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Yea...even to non comic fans BTAS seems to me the most common thing to get people into Batman. I think 25 Episodes will be okay...now I know default is 10 pts starter but...ever consider 5 pts or something to start off since there could be 25 choices? Would only be 125 pts total versus 250 pts.

 

[JTStarkiller]

Or maybe 7 or 8 points apiece. 25 is an awful lot of choices.

 

[Mister J]

Good idea, guys. Reducing the points would work. 7 or 8 most likely, whcih would put it at either 175 or 200 (something manageable).

 

[trustyside-kick]

Since there are 25 choices...out of the choices I think 7 pts starting would be best.

Now, when do we get to see the 25 Episodes Listed?

 

[Mister J]

7 probably does work better because of the number of choices.

The 25 (as of now) are in post 155. The ones in red were what I was going to use if we went to using 30 choices (2 lists). I'm trying to get a decent representation of all the major villains (though it looks like no Ventiloquist & Scarface or Killer Croc) and will probably bump something off the list to include 'Avatar' (another Ra's ep). Comments on that?

I'm having a good time with this, going through old TAS eps.

I love it how on your list going down it goes in order from Volume 1-4...makes it easier to go watch a bit of each episode here and there to decide which one I like the most.

 

[batmaluco]

Where is: "I've Got Batman in My Basement"?

Joking. This is easily the worst episode ever.

 

[Mister J]

I actually enjoyed 'Basement' one better than The Terrible Trio. That episode should have been over in 5 minutes and concluded with Batman *****slapping all three of them. For the remainder of the show, we could have watched Alfred dust and prepare dinner and it would have been an improvement.

Just kiddding.

...not really.

I do remotely remember this episode. I have not been watching BTAS for a while.
But I did a search...
Argh!
See what I've found!:

Pretty lame.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Come on! Let's get this round started! Decided who I wanted to win.

 

[Mister J]

Cool (not about The Terrible Trio , but in regards to getting the round started ). Just finishing the recaps. It'll be up within the hour.
