As do I.

 

[WolfCypher]

Have we done Best Bat-Gadget?

Have we done Best Bat-Gadget?

No, we haven't. If you want to know what we have done so far check the first post of the thread. It has a list along with links to each Elimination Game Round we have had so far.

 

[Mister J]

I think we'll be going with The Fledermaus Experience. I am going to trim the list a bit though.

Any suggestions on the inclusions/exclusions?

The ones in red are ones that were in the Graphic Novel round right? What about the ones underlined?

 

[Mister J]

The underlined ones were included in the most recent GN/TPB round. The ones are red are ones I recognized from the original round. There are probably others, but I didn't bother to go through the rest of them.

I was thinking of a list primarily of those arcs not put into TPB form, but including a few that were, just to have some more of the visible stories.

 

[Fledermaus]

We could add some arcs from the other Bat-books. LOTDK maybe, or Gotham Knights, Shadow of the Bat had some good arcs.

Here is the list I would prefer:

10 Nights of the Beast
Knightfall
Knightsend
Prodigal
Cataclysm
Officer Down
Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive
War Games
As the Crow Flies
Under The Hood
Blind Justice
Destroyer
War Crimes
Contagion
Legacy
City Of Crime
Face the Face
The Cult
War On Crime

I know that is 19...15 would be great...I feel 20 would be too much unless the starting points were lowered. I added the OYL arc along with The Cult and War On Crime...removed some (from the ealier Graphic Novel round(s) and others). I don't know what else to knock off however. Well, that is my list.

Also, I know it is a Huntress story but the title is Batman/Huntress...Cry for Blood...loved that arc.

 

[Mister J]

Just skimming through some of the arcs from Shadow and Legends, we could probably keep this one to DC/Batman and do a later round with the other Bat-titles. Initial ones that caught my eye.

The Last Arkham
Narcosis

Shaman
Gothic
Prey
Siege
The Aarow and the Bat

Good list. We could easily get that down to 15. I'd like to get Fledermaus' input before we finalized it though. Doing 20 with reduced points isn't out of the question either.

As far as the Huntress story, I haven't read it in a while, but it was good. It gives me an idea in doing an extended Bat-family story arc round; ones that primarily focus on characters besides Batman.

Okay.

Doing 20 with reduced points is out of the question either.

Wait...is that a typo for isn't out of the question? Or did you mean it won't happen? Either way not like I'll get upset.

Sounds good; that would be best perhaps.

Typo? What typo? You must have misread something. Don't pay attention to that 'edit' tag on my last post either. It must be a glitch or something. I didn't do anything.

I think War Games, War Crimes and City of Crime are pretty much universally hated so if nobody balks, those could be cut out right now. leaving this:
10 Nights of the Beast
Knightfall
Knightsend
Prodigal
Cataclysm
Officer Down
Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive
As the Crow Flies
Under The Hood
Blind Justice
Destroyer
Contagion
Legacy
Face the Face
The Cult
War On Crime
That's 16. If this is strictly story arcs then we'd have to knock off The Cult and War on Crime. Which sucks 'cause they're both great. I don't know. I appreciate you wanting my input Mister J, but I am one indecisive motherf**ker. So take what you want and run with it.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I've always wanted to read War Games and the rest of that 'lil saga' but I never got around to it because I know what happened. Also, when I tried to start reading a copy the introduction was just too boring for me to want to continue; someday I'll read it though so I know small details I didn't know before.

 

[Mister J]

Okay, so I zapped War on Crime, which kinda sucks. However, that did give me an idea to do Best One-Shot (maybe even a Best Elseworlds tale). That book is too good to not be included in one of these rounds, so that's gotta happen.

I left in The Cult, because I know the two of you like it and I appreciate the help in compiling the list. None of the other arcs really screamed for inlcusion, with the exception of War Games, which I wanted to include specifically so I could vote against it.


10 Nights of the Beast
Knightfall
Knightsend
Prodigal
Cataclysm
Officer Down
Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive

Face the Face
The Cult

[Tony Kornheiser] That's it! That's the list! [/Tony Kornheiser]

 

[trustyside-kick]

I know what basically happens in War Games but geez...was it really that awful?

 

[Mister J]

Yes.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Well, when will the next round be up you bum?

 

[Mister J]

Silence! I'm in the process of putting the finishing touches on my masterful, avant garde humor. It's required by the Elimination Game by-laws.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Pfft...masterful.

 

[Mister J]

See, that's why it's avant garde. You all won't appreciate it until I'm dead. Seeing as how I have a steady diet of ambrosia, that'll be quite some time.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Looks like the Best Story arc round is already just about over.

What now guys?

 

[Mister J]

Bat-Movie
Gadget
Bat-Family Comic Title
One Shot
Gotham City Locations
Elseworlds Tale
Crossover
TAS B-List Villains

 

[trustyside-kick]

I say Bat-movies. What is the list?
