Theme Music For weeks a gang war has been rampaging through Gotham. Commissioner Gordon and the brave members of Gotham PD have struggled to bring an end to it. Even Batman was feeling the fatigue. Night after night he waged his own war against the criminal element, but this was not like anything he had encountered before. It seemed as if the random acts of crime were not as random as they first appeared. Long nights of fighting bled over to long days of investigation, sifting the clues trying to find the link that would make the chain complete. It seemed impossible, but the evidence was there. Ra's al Ghul and his League of Assassins were assisting the crime bosses of Gotham from the shadows. Having caught a hint that a meeting of the bosses was to happen, Batman wasted no time swinging into action. However, worn as he was from the long nights and even longer days he wasn't able to spot the trap before it was too late. Ambushed by League assassins, Batman almost had the upper hand until a new card was delt. "No, I can't let him WIN," the Joker bellowed from a rooftop across the way, and with a smile he said, "You loose Ghouly ol' boy." With that, he pressed the button on the control panel in his hand. The building exploded, collapsing down on itself as Joker danced admist the chaos. He fully expected any moment for that sublime timing of his nemesis to kick in. He soon would face off against Batman as they have countless times before. However, this time something was different. Batman didn't appear on the rooftop, he was ruining the moment. His timing was off and the Joker knew a thing or two about timing. As the fire department, EMTs and police arrived, in that order, Joker felt a chill go down his spine. Its then that he saw Batman's body pulled from the wreckage, before the world the mask was removed revealing the face of Bruce Wayne, he was pronounced dead on the scene. Days later the Joker checked himself into Arkham muttering, "Its just not fun without ol' Batsy to kick around," and with that statement he lapsed into a catatonic fugue to which no one could reach him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bat has fallen, its time for new heroes to rise up to defend Gotham, because while Batman is no more, the city still needs protection. This game will be run loosely with Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition and I am basing it on Batman: The Animated Series. I am looking for vigilanties, acrobats, weapon experts, ninja, characters that would have fit well in the cartoon series. Super Powers should be limited to training, gadgets and whatnot. As this is based on The Animated Series "murder hobo" PCs are not suitable. If your character's A and B plan involves killing all the bad guys, this game might not be for you. The game will be set at PL 9 as the characters that were not able to rise to the top in the shadow of the Bat. I'm looking for 4 players, the game will be on Wednesdays at 8pm EST. I plan for the game to be weekly.
