Feel free to move this to /trash/ if it's too meta or off topic.
A few years ago, I had a psychotic episode and became convinced I was a capeshit character. After the episode faded, I found myself with 30 uninterrupted years of persistent memories of life as a fictional character living primarily in Gotham City. If you're interested, pick my brain.
tell us about you powers and your suit.
did you meet batman?
Hypercrisis.
You merged with one of your multiverse doppelgangers.
>>84492391
Is there any interesting things to do in Gotham or is getting mugged/killed the only fun thing around?
>>84492772
I wasn't a super. It was pretty mundane.
>did you meet batman?
Once or twice. Scary as crap. Plus, he kinda let the gossip spread. Most of the criminals were afraid of him because they thought he killed people. I think that was kind of the point. Nobody outside of the police force knew he didn't kill people. In hindsight, that's probably what made the Joker so successful. He was the only person that knew the extent of Batman's no kill rule, so he wasn't scared of him like everyone else was.
In the version of the world I "came from," that's the explanation for the Joker "coming back to life": the public trying to reconcile the idea of a murderer batman with the fact that the joker always comes back. Batman's presence as a character is so complete over the city that people just kind of glossed over it and let the cognitive dissonance stand.
Ever meet Ragman?
Ever meet Simon Dark?
Ever meetTommy?
Who was your archenemy?
What was your superhero name?
Did you have any gadgets?
What's on TV there?
>>84492872
This is actually what happened in my memories, although I'm smart enough to know it isn't true.
>Is there any interesting things to do in Gotham or is getting mugged/killed the only fun thing around?
Gotham's a lot like NYC. You never run out of shops to go to, hole-in-the-wall places, or just plain odd stuff like quilting museums. It just goes on and on. I used to go to thrift shops and buy kitschy hats in bulk. I got one that's a giant longways hot dog with mustard on a paper plate. It was kinda my favorite thing in the world, and I'm depressed it doesn't exist here.
>>84492391
So, OP, how many people did you help?
And did it feel good to help others?
>>84492966
Come on, those are not the only fun things.Sometimes you watch them happen to someone else.
>>84492391
Kill yourself
>>84493061
>Ever meet Ragman?
RAGMAN IS MY FREAKIN HERO, DUDE. I WISH.
>Ever meet Simon Dark?
Nope!
>Ever meet Tommy?
Can you be more specific?
>Who was your archenemy?
Prefer not to disclose, I don't want to give any answers that'll outright give away who I "am"...yet. No voice responses either, because having 30 years of someone's memories gives you their voice my voice is easily identifiable and difficult to imitate. I'm also changing how I type a little. That's what's taking so long with the replies.
>What's on TV there?
My kinda question!
Saturday morning block:
Acromegliacs
Freakazoid (Which exists here, probably because Bruce Timm can't help himself)
Filner and Mort (Sort of a tom-and-jerry-but-less-violent gag cartoon about a carpenter and his painter roommate who can't really stand each other after living together for so long, but always end up working on the same construction projects, so they go out of their way to design more and more elaborate ways to make sure that they get different jobs, but all-too-convenient things happen (like a ladder tilting across to another building where the other's working while one of em's climbing across) and they end up bumping into each other anyway.
It's hard to explain how the gag works.)
Beachscape, which is a tween cartoon about volleyball..blech
High Tech High, which is like Jetson's but for teens...I didn't watch much else besides the first three in the saturday morning lineup. The rest of the stuff was from this world (Looney Tunes, Silly Symphony, etc) and those were what I watched most.
I remember a fair bit of daytime programming, which was kind of a guilty pleasure. Horrible Hoarders, then Excess Hollywood (favorite segment: Name That Zit, where you guess what celebrity it is by their pimples and stuff), then So You Think You Can Cook, then Gotham Homemaking...just shows like that.
Primetime is where it came ALIVE.
fooie, cont. hit limit.
>>84493553
Tommy is Hitman
>>84493553
DC universe news, docus and primetime shows are unbelievable. I remember this real great documentary miniseries that came out a "few years back": Cape and Cower, which followed some normal families and some criminals and some lower-income families and explored how their lives were influenced by Batman and the villains and the crazy goings-on in gotham. I liked a lot of the TV shows, but I had a favorite: There was a popular musical dramedy about a bunch of supervillains in a gotham-like city. It was like dirty dozen meets breaking bad, and the characters were incredible. there was this one dude, my absolute favorite character, who was an artist who could bring his art to life by killing people and draining their life force. I remember his workshop was full of these wonderland-esque creatures and amazing, changing landscapes. At the center of it all was a picture of his dead wife that he'd been working on for 10 years. Every hour of every day, he'd add more, change more, test and grow his powers, make sure it was ALL PERFECT, so that when the day finally came, it was really HER that came back. It was pretty romantic.
I had the hugest crush on the guy as a teen. What can I say? I have bad taste in guys.
At Gotham U, there was a late (late) night student talk radio program I listened to a ton. It was called a lotta things and kinda covered fringe stuff and had varying names like "A fairy home companion" and "Who's who in snoozeville" and "For 4 of my fans". It was real funny, especially hearing this guy TEAR INTO anyone who believed they saw the "Bat-Man." He was SO CONVINCED he wasn't real. HA. He sure got showed.
The host of the radio thing was Edward Nygma. You guys know what happened to him.
Are you that person who thinks they were Harley Quinn
>>84492391
How often was your life interrupted by supervillain shit?
How in the fuck did anybody want to become a cop?
Got a rough daily (or monthly or yearly) death toll for Gotham?
More info on the Batman encounters would be greatYou're fucking nuts mate
>>84493875
Lots of people ask why people bother to live in Gotham. Wayne Enterprises has really incredible public/private assistance programs for school and workforce re-entry and health cost reimbursement. It really, really is a nice place to live. It's got an OUTSTANDING zoo and a really incredible botanical garden and all sorts of smaller themed parks to visit along the coast and inside the city and on the islands (there's an entire ice-cream themed park...yeah. That place was my childhood, man). It gets a bad rap here, but you really only see the crappier side of things when you're reading the comics. Wayne Enterprises does a lot of good. A Wayne scholarship put me through college. Coming here and finding out that he's Batman was NUTS. Not that I'm complaining. Hot, rich and complicated. Yes, yes and please.
>>84493810
We literally just missed each other.
>>84493953
>How often was your life interrupted by supervillain shit?
Supervillains? If you're a normal citizen, rarely ever. They tend to all be fixated on Batman. It's just muggings.
>How in the fuck did anybody want to become a cop?
Basically, everyone was Batman, kinda. Cops became cops because a criminal killed someone in their family. It's ironic, I guess.
>Got a rough daily (or monthly or yearly) death toll for Gotham?
3k a year. Higher than NYC, but lower than expected.
>More info on the Batman encounters would be great
Everyone's been touched by batman somehow. I worked with a kid who stole some stuff from a convenience store only to slip outside and run straight into Batman, just GLARING at him, unmoving. He let him get away with the stuff, but he never stole anything again
Did you ever meet Constantine?
>>84494205
No.
Keep in mind that I got these memories long enough ago that my continuity is Post-Crisis, Pre-Flashpoint.
>>84493969
So.... how did things look? Like were they IRL details(photo-realism)? Or was it more like a Comic, or Cartoon?
Aaaand, what was the music scene like?
>Coming here and finding out that he's Batman was NUTS.
... You really did have an entire 30 years worth of """""psychotic""""" memories..... wow. I assume you were *hectic* into Batman before the 'episode'.
>>84494268
>I assume you were *hectic* into Batman before the 'episode'.
Kinda, not so much. Moreso after.
>how did things look? Like were they IRL details(photo-realism)?
All IRL. You know that certain time of day that happens at about 7:45 PM in the summer on the east coast US? That specific time where the shadows are way too blue and the light is way too orange? Where all the colors pop and there's this huge sense of La Vie En Rose?
>Aaaand, what was the music scene like?
Well, the cultural scene in general was interesting. "Older" niche subcultures, like burlesque, were more prevalent than they are here and now. It was kind of similar to the Mid-90s in NYC, when suddenly this whole little cultural heritage romance bloomed and swing became somewhat popular again and the fashion changed. The music scene reflects that. Things are still electronic and repetitive, but they have swingier elements and are more instrumental in terms of backing tracks.
Did you ever go to the Jonah Hex Museum?
Are the comics there still about superheroes?
What was religion like there, seeing as people knew aliens, magic and angels were real?
Ever meet Detective Chimp?
Ever go to the Oblivion Bar?
Everrape the Joker?
>>84494496
>You know that certain time of day that happens at about 7:45 PM in the summer on the east coast US? That specific time where the shadows are way too blue and the light is way too orange? Where all the colors pop and there's this huge sense of La Vie En Rose?
No. South African here m8 -- Cape Town to be specific. Never encountered anything like that. Probably because I live in the shadow of Table Mountain, and thus the sun sets before anything like that happens.
I think I understand -- not really, only in theory.
>>84494641
>Jonah Hex Museum?
All the time! I can't BELIEVE Batman and the JLA TIME TRAVEL with that dude! I thought he was just some history guy
>>84494641
>Are the comics there still about superheroes?
Oh man, yeah. It's funny. There are original heroes, like Law and Order (Western themed duo, not the crime drama) and Solar: Son of the Sun (No resemblance to the Solar here. He was an alien that came from the sun), but there were a huge amount of bootleg comics about superheroes that exist and that always made me laugh.
>>84494884
What kind of video games were sold? Was a good Superman game ever made? Did any non-DC cape characters exist in any form?
You that Harley Quinn guy?
>>84494884
I hit post too early!
>>84494641
>What was religion like there, seeing as people knew aliens, magic and angels were real?
It took some...stretching...but really, unchanged. It's public attitudes that are different from it all. Eugenics and human improvement are much more normal and acceptable in the DCU. No value judgment here, but it does make me a little uncomfortable.
>Ever meet Detective Chimp?
I would go BANANAS if I met detective chimp. Holy hominid, Batman! He's so cute! Like, I know that's wrong, but he's SO CUTE. HE'S A TALKING CHIMP. A TALKING, TRENCHANT, TRENCHCOAT-WEARING TRACKER. NO, NO I HAVE NOT, and I regret it.
>Ever go to the Oblivion Bar?
I WISH
>Ever rape the Joker?
What kind of joke is this?
>>84494963
>What kind of video games were sold?
There's a lot of stuff like DCUO in the DC universe. All the stuff being real doesn't make any less popular of an escape. In fact, it makes it more popular because it's POSSIBLE. IT COULD BE YOU!
So a lot of action games centered around real or plausible DC characters. Shooter games took superhero intervention in wars into account, sim games had supervillain attack disasters, everything is shifted.
>Was a good Superman game ever made?
Oh man, yeah, plenty. I'm sure even the little chip-and-lcd ones from the DCU are better than the cartridge crapper you guys got on the n64.
>Did any non-DC cape characters exist in any form?
There are some Real Life Super Hero-type people who tried to emulate batman and come up with gags and beat up criminals, but they were never noteworthy enough to end up in any of the comics apparently.
I had a co-worker who had a roommate who moonlighted (moonlit? that sounds wrong) as "The Jugglenaut." Dude juggled and used juggling-related things to beat up criminals. Would kill to see him have his own comic.
Or wait, did you mean Marvel properties and such? No such luck, no competing IPs in the DCU in any form, even comics.
>>84495189
Naw, not a guy. Sorry.
>>84495246
So you were Harley Quinn?
>>84495310
Not what I said, don't be a nitpick nancy
What major events happened during your lifetime? Anything that lined up with comic stuff? How did the capes respond to 9/11?
>>84495246
But you are that person, right?
I know you're probably bullshitting but I absolutely love reading your stuff! It's always a joy having you here.
Say, did Marvel and their iconic characters exist in your universe?
>>84495384
Do you know which earth you were on?
Man, I'd probably just move to Metropolis if I was in the DCU.
The porn there must also be insane.
>>84495424
Not op, but...

>>84495564
Wasn't that a plot point in Seven Soldiers?
>>84495223
Not Marvel? But what about Major Comics? Google about Earths 7 and 8.
>>84492391
Did you have any pets?
How much of your real world knowledge carried over into your psychotic episode? Like, knowing batman is bruce wayne, etc.
Did you ever persue superpowers, or were you content to be a normie?
Is it weird knowing about all the different "futures" (Batman Beyond future, Kamandi Future, Legion of Super-Heroes future)?
>>84495384
>What major events happened during your lifetime?
Lots, lots lots lots. Death of Superman, Knightfall, No man's land, all the wacko stuff that happened around Hush. My lifetime was a crazy period for Gotham. I don't even know where to begin.
>How did the capes respond to 9/11?
Never happened! A lot of people here think it's possible that superman stopped it, but where I come from it was actually Captain Atom.
>>84495617
yknow, i never really put that together. huh.
>>84495635
>How much of your real world knowledge carried over into your psychotic episode? Like, knowing batman is bruce wayne, etc.
None of it, I forgot who I was and had my memories replaced by these ones. Now they coexist.
>Did you ever persue superpowers, or were you content to be a normie?
I was pretty content not having any superpowers, though I did imagine being able to fly and punch stuff really hard a lot when I was a kid. I guess that just never became seriously pursuing anything. I was me and they were them, I never considered that it could happen to me.
>>84495733
>Is it weird knowing about all the different "futures" (Batman Beyond future, Kamandi Future, Legion of Super-Heroes future)?
Kinda, yeah. Time travel is way above my pay grade. the mind-bending stuff I've learned was going on behind the scenes...
Man, I still don't get it all. The Legion is cool, I thought Kamandi was fun, but Beyond feels most like the future of my world.
>>84495610
UhhI wouldn't know anon; I have a cursory knowledge of this stuff at best
Have you ever read a comic and seen yourself in the background?
>>84495904
I read everything I could possibly find that might have me in it when I got here. It was educational.
I'm not a background character! I just don't want questions to all be about me! I'm sick of that! Everyone always asks me about me and the people I knew when I tell them! They want the inside scoop! A primary source! A titillating tale, I guess. Not interested in that right now. I just want to give you a feel of what it's like to live in the world.

>>84496237
>Which capes got into media scandals the most?
Does Bruce Wayne count, because oh-ho-hoo boy did he get into a lot of THOSE.
I remember one time the papers printed that he wrecked his yacht by a deserted island and was stranded alone on the island for 7 days with 20 models. I could hit the limit talking about just the stuff batman made up about himself. Now that I know he's Batman, it's even FUNNIER. Do you think he enjoys writing these? Does he laugh to himself? is it a game to him? or is it all BUSINESS. does he SCOWL the entire time, totally unamused by the increasingly insane tabloid pieces he writes about himself? YES. THIS WILL CONVINCE THEM I'M JUST A USELESS GIGOLO FOR LONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THIS MISSION
Or does Alfred write them?! Oh my god I'm crying. That's even funnier! just imagine him typing away.
"Yes, yes, quite good!"
Superman gets in a lot of little scuffles with tabloids, all BS probably. 'Superman blew my skirt up!' 'Superman gave me whiplash!' 'I aborted Superman's baby and the US Govt TOOK IT!' blah blah blah, nobody believes any of it.
I mean, obviously plastic man...PFFF
>Did you ever do any traveling to other important cities?
A few. Even though Chicago plays Gotham a lot, Gotham is more like NYC than Chicago. I went to Metropolis a few times. Metropolis is more like Chicago, but newer, with Vancouver and Seattle-esque architecture and some Cincinati-esque art deco stuff mixed in.
I went to Coast City with my mom once. Coast City is a lot like GTA V Los Santos--a lot like LA, but with crazy shit going on everywhere and everyone is insane. Coast City is super underutilized as a setting in DC. Honestly, I loved it. I woulda considered living there for a bit if it still...existed.
>what's the most reliable way to have consensual sex with a batvillain
If you mean a female one, be batman...
If you mean a male one, they all have impossibly rigorous standards and you'd never be able to sleep with any of them. Trust me.

I don't understand this question
>>84496873
I suppose it'd more obvious I'm not if I let people ask personal questions. Those are harder to lie about and keep self-consistent, and even if you do, they often lack the insight of real experiences.
>>84496352
>Did you evacuate during NML? Where did you go?
No, I got stuck in the city. There's a lot they don't tell you about Earthquakes, like that it's not just shaking up and down. I was in a pretty high up place when it all went down, and I SAW it. Coming for me. Like waves from a stone in a pond. You never forget something like that. Not in a million years.
>What Supervillain is the best to work for? Who treats his henchmen the best?
Penguin or Riddler, probably Riddler. Pays well, good company, low-risk jobs, it's more like a game than work.
>>84496873

> also what was superman's death like? and the months that followed? especially as a gothamite. gosh imagine being evac'd during NML and ending up in metropolis right in time for the DoS
To be honest...we were all in shock. and then there were all those fakes, and then he came back. Everything happened before the shock wore off. Superman coming back was like waking up from an extended dream. As big of a deal as it was here, it wasn't as huge a deal in the universe.
Not because superman dying wasn't a huge deal, of course it was! It was a 9/11-level event, everyone remembers where they were, but
I'm trying to find the words.
I think I have them: the death of superman shocked us all so much that he came back to life before the shock wore off and then it was like nothing happened.
>>84497172
Do you resent Steel or Superboy for being "fake Supermen"?
>>84497225
No, because neither of them were claiming to be the real deal. They were just doing the best they could.
>>84492391
Are there any rumors about Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy ?.

You can feel the sapphic vibes from miles away.
But believe it or not, they weren't the most talked about gossip lesbian couple in Gotham at first. That honor belonged to Supergirl and Batgirl. After Batgirl's disappearance, focus shifted to Harley and Ivy.

>>84497367
>Johnny Quick?
He keeps to himself, there's a little bit on him, but not as much as the first Flash. Really, early capes don't get much them-specific time, you get more of a summary chapter or two.
>Or the Easy Company?
Everyone loves the easy company! I had to do a report on them in the 8th grade! Sgt. Rock rocks! There's an entire wing of the Martha Wayne Museum of American History dedicated just to them.

Being evacuated here as a kindasorta witness protection thing by the JLA. It's a long story...
This is the most mundane world in the multiverse. It's the most remote, it's furthest from all the garbage.
Let me explain something, and it may cause your head to turn a bit: This isn't Earth Prime--at least, not in my memories. This is a duplicate of earth prime that exists for crisis events that involve "earth prime" to take place in. As in, at some point in the past, the real earth prime was duplicated into the DC multiverse and, surprise, you ended up on the fictional side!
According to my memories, eventually shit will go down in this world, and your real self will bitch about it on /co/.
>>84498126
So we're in Earth Prime 2?
What do you mean by my real self?
My real self on the real Earth Prime?
What kind of shit can go down here if there are no superheroes around?
>>84498232

Did you have a significant other that you still miss?
Are there fun tabloid stories about supervillains, too?
>>84498269
A paralel "mirror" Earth Prime.
What I dont understand is why does OP say all crisis events take place here.
Unless he means Earth Prime 2 was created precisely as a retirement for when Earth Prime goes into crisis
>>84498232
Yea, your real self on the real earth prime.
In my memories, I kinda, uh, finked on someone real bad. I was fed up, for a lot of reasons, so I tattled to the JLA. The fallout was bigger than expected. That one betrayal was the missing link needed to legally connect basically all of the big supervillains and prove their sanity. Luthor went down, Savage, the Joker, Strange, Ra's al Ghul, and so on. It was like when ya donate one organ and then like 50 people get organs. A wreck-one-ruin-10-free combo. I popped the DC world like a balloon. There's no amount of normal, everyday, money-talks witness protection that could save me from what was coming, so the JLA had three flashes and a braniac 5 trebuchet me to this world.
>>84498332
Yeah...
A friend came here with me. This isn't a folie a deux, this is a folie a fuckton. I know at least 4 other people who think they're DC characters.

Do you think this could be related to other universes? Not just DC I mean

maybe we are just in the anti-matter counterpart of the other world? or vice versa
Does Morrison know more than he lets on? Is he aware the stories he tells are real? Any of the other DC creators.
Also, why does Geoff Johns have such a special connection to the Lanterns?
>>84498405
because we create them perhaps?
>>84499200
it could be his wife, considering this is a femanon and Moz's wife is definitely extradimensional
>>84492391
What's Barry Allen like? Is he the guy I've always looked up to in the comics and show?
Or is that even a valid question? Are our comics such an accurate reproduction of your history that I already know exactly what he's like?
>>84499306
Morrison once said that his wife didn't like the idea that she came into being because of a spell he cast. Hmmm....
How do you know you're not in a coma and actually exist in that world? How do you know you're not imaging a world without super-powered people because a disaster happened and you lost the person closest to you because of a superhero? How do you know that DC comics isn't just your subconscious trying to remind you of where you are?
Or that the Hypercrisis /co/ talks about is actually your goal, your "red pill" ,that you need to reach in order to escape your coma?
>>84499363
its not a REproduction. it IS the production, the second dimension dawg, flat life

Don't feel like reading this whole thread but from what I've read

Yeah, probably.
>>84498232
>What kind of shit can go down here if there are no superheroes around?
Meme magic
Somebodt must stop /pol/, but there's no one to do so
>>84499200
Funny story: in the real earth prime, which I glimpsed, Morrison is writing this story. He's spouting something very "him" about how this is a landmark story that "challenges the inherent narcissism of a world assuming that THEY and THEY ALONE are Earth Prime."
Whatever.
>What's Barry Allen like? Is he the guy I've always looked up to in the comics and show?
Seeing as he was responsible for getting me here, I say he's pretty sweet. Level, very patient, always ready to lend an ear or two.
>Are our comics such an accurate reproduction of your history that I already know exactly what he's like?
They're pretty accurate.
>Does Morrison know more than he lets on? Is he aware the stories he tells are real? Any of the other DC creators.
I'm not sure. Sometimes I'm convinced he knows. In my memories, Every meta story he writes further cracks the Rock of Eternity and threatens to undo everything. Not sure if he's doing this by accident or if he's working for some sort of big bad and doing it on purpose.
>>84499126
Yep.
>>84499802
hes just trying to bring magic into our earth. maybe if the rock blows, magic will spread, like a ripple, and reach us? the rock is at the center of our multiverse isnt it?
Alright, now I'm actually curious about action figures. I assume there must have been figures of real heroes; were the same general quality as here? Were there mostly cheap kids toys or were there more high-end collectors stuff? Also what about original toy lines? Were there things like Lego, Xevoz, He-man, Transformers, etc?Was there an action figure of you?
>>84500101
she said she was a nobody, but after allegedly taking down most of gotham's supercriminals, hell maybe the worlds, and then just disappearing, well thats the kind of shit people who have action figures do
Are our live-action adaptions (shows, movies) a window into another universe like comics or just our Earth's adaptions of your stories?
>>84499802
Do you know if he is going to publish your story specifically?
Also, how might Rebirth effect you, since it's about the DC universe resetting back to it's "natural" state?
>>84492391
What do you look like? Not specific details, but do you look as supermodel-ish as comics portray most characters?
>>84500353
No, definitely not. I've got an odd nose and weird eyes and it doesn't translate well at all. Nobody is as hot as they're drawn except maybe Bruce Wayne, who's legitimately stunning.
>>84500385
What's Diana look like... IRL? Some artists draw her looking bodybuilding Amazon-ish, some goddess-tier beautiful.
>>84500385
Have you been drawn before?
>>84500167
Alright, let's compile notes about who OP might be
>She is a girl
>She lived in Gotham
>She met Batman "once or twice"
>Watches a shit load of cartoons
>Went to college (on a Wayne Scholarship)
>She has never been to the Oblivion Bar, implying that she isn't magic at all
>Claims that she isn't a background character.
>She snitched on all the bad guys and the JLA sent her here to protect her.
Personally, I think that she'sDuela Dent.
Thanks for answering our questions!
Have you ever met Kara? What's she like? How would you describe her voice? Sorry, I always dreamed of being/meeting Supergirl as a kid.
>>84500521
isntduela the "joker's daughter in the nu52?if so OP is lucky she got out before the reboot heh
>>84500561
to piggy back on this, you said the JL helped you break thru the source wall into our verse, what was superman like? was he like Moz says, a benign god, just casually enjoying life and helping anyone he can?
>>84500521
>>84500592
Nah, she's the Harleygirl that has posted before, the one that does an almost perfect imitation of Sorkin Harley
>>84500672
interesting and very possible, probable even , but what if she's not?
You ever read news from the Daily Planet?
How's Clark's writing?
You mentioned earlier, that "shit would go down" on our universe in a couple years
How long until that happens?
What causes it to happen?
Thanks for answering our questions OP, this is awesome
OP, why not write a book or "fanfiction" about your mental break? Like a "fake" memoir and post it online. Would be pretty fucking cool, I think.
>>84501114
that would be fuckin awesome mockumentaries and fictional biographies are awesome
>>84500455
>What's Diana look like... IRL?
This is hard to answer. Let me try to find a good picture.
>Have you been drawn before?
Yes
>>84500561
>Have you ever met Kara? What's she like? How would you describe her voice? Sorry, I always dreamed of being/meeting Supergirl as a kid.
A lotta people draw her kind of modelesque, with that sorta "sharp and attractive" look, but she's actually more "down home cute."
More this type of face but rounder. Squatter. not sure how to describe.
>>84500616
>what was superman like?
>>84500791
>How's Clark's writing?
Oh man, all the time! I loved his column! When he wrote exposes he had this whole thing going where he would look at corruption scandals from a sort of "simple citizen" point of view and then reveal deeper wit and systematically tear them down, all while continuing to sound like he was giving humble criticism as an "Average American"
There's a reason he's (and this is true, in my memories) Lex Luthor's favorite journalist. Clark is dangerously sarcastic, but it's not underhanded sarcasm. I'd describe it as "honest sarcasm"? It's hard to explain. I remember I used to watch old Kelly musicals and the feel around him reminded me of Donald O'Connor, except he could destroy you in any argument and/or punt you through a building.
In hindsight, Clark Kent is Superman, and you can tell. Not in his in-person personae, cuz that's clusmy as hell, but in his writing. There's no reason for Clark Kent to be Superman or for Supes to have a secret identity, so nobody really examined how similar their narrative voice is.
It's the perfect disguise!!. You aren't really in a position to see the similarities in how "they" think unless you don't know him well enough to know the rest of the similarities. Meeting him in person closes that door before examining his writing has a chance to open it.
>>84501154
Yeah. Plus if she really has around 30 years of memories, then there's a shitload of material.
Maybe make a series of novels, each covering one year in the life of a DCU citizen.
>>84493900
Is there an article on that or something?
>>84501194
Sounds like Mellissa might be a good match
>>84500561
>How would you describe her voice?
Normal, but nice. Well-enunciated, but not booming or spectacular. I can hear it in my head, how do I get you to hear it. Hmmmmm.
>>84501058
Can't answer that, sorry bud. No clue.
>>84501154
>>84501230
I'm making a comic of it. I hope it's good. I'll post it here when it's done and you guys can feed me some back.
>>84501657
>I'm making a comic of it
Just make a book or something. Won't have to worry about getting an artist.
>>84501657
>this is just some girl aiming 4 her webcomic
Joking.
So, how does Supergirl in the show compare to the real one?
How was Power Girl?
How do the effects of modern movies compare to seeing the actual powers in real life?
>>84501657
>Can't answer that, sorry bud. No clue.
Then how you'd find out about it? Were you shown an image a scene of some kind?
Is this what the kids call "viral marketing"?
How does Bruce sound? And how does his voice change when in Batman-mode?
Also, does *everyone* in the DCU know Nightwing?
>>84501841
what is this marketing though? DC as a whole?>>84501657
>>84501696
she said she could draw pretty well, but i would very much love to see it, hopefully im on /co/ when you post it
>>84501890
I'd read it. I love world-building.
>>84501930
i wish more books nowadays were slice of life world building stories, but all normies care about is capes punching other capes
>>84501696
>Just make a book or something. Won't have to worry about getting an artist.
Some of the stuff has GOTTA be visual. I have a few artist friends in mind, but if any of you are line artists and actually are familiar with the source material, I'd love to meet some more.
>>84501714
>So, how does Supergirl in the show compare to the real one?
Show supergirl looks older, sounds older, spindlier. Supergirl is a lil thicker than the TV ver. Supergirl is also way more sarcastic, like her cousin. She makes quips and gets kind of angry, her voice is really clear and it cuts through air, but it's not nasal at all. It's hard to describe. She's less quiet awkward nerd and more of a "voice acts everything during tabletop games" nerd
Power girl...never really run into her, couldn't tell ya.
>>84501876
>How does Bruce sound? And how does his voice change when in Batman-mode?
Kevin Conroy's voice is close, but it has more body than Conroy. Conroy's is kind of elegant. It's low, but it's not a THICK voice. Bruce's voice is thicker than Conroy's but otherwise similar. Similar Bruce/Batman changes to Conroy as well.
>>84501962
Read Gotham Academy.
>>84502043
>imblying i dont
>>84498066
>>84498994
She wouldn't remember post-flashpoint apparently.
>>84501976
How close is Grant Gustin to Barry? Not just voice, comics Barry is 10 years older(?), but mannerisms?
>>84502056
i missed these two! it's just an oversight.
>What's the architecture in Gotham like? Gothic, art deco or does it just look like some shitty modern city? Are there really high-rises for cars and trains everywhere with blimps in the sky and searchlights flinging about?
Yea, art deco. Some modernist. and it's dirty and smelly and loud and when the pavement is wet all the tar's full of stars and there's always cats having sex and car alarms going off and I miss it more than anything in the world.
>>84501890
Wasn't there for the last thread, so I wasn't aware she could draw.
>>84501976
Fair enough. I just think that writing it all out would be easier.
>>84502101
Not her.
Personally, I think Eddie's actor is closer to the comics, but the show also has Barry becoming the Flash 5 years too soon as a plot point.
>>84501194
You do good world-building and really know what makes the Superfamily.
How did the sliding timescale work?
>>84501194
>>84501657
Your descriptions of Kara are how I've always wanted to see her written/drawn.
Apologies if this is too personal of a question. Was anyone that you've lost affected during Blackest Night? You don't need to go into specifics if it's uncomfortable to talk about.
What kind of insurance is sold over there to cover damage done by capes? I'd imagine they have more specific kinds than just "superhero insurance." Like if your car gets picked up and thrown there'd be something for that, and something else for destruction caused when a meta gets knocked into a building. Have any capes or villains ever been on the losing end of a legal suit based around such damage? Have any "villains" taken heroes to court, or vice versa?
I expected /trash/, but OP really has a good grasp on world building.
Seriously, I'd read a DC world building blog by you.
What years was it, both when you were born and when you fucked up
Also, what is it like, seeing real displays of superpowers compared to the movies?
Who's your favorite superheroine you met, and why?
What did Batgirl look like?
How did people react to the original Crisis when Flash died, and how'd they react when Barry Allen came back?
Did Superman and Batman wear their trunks on the outside of their costumes?
How did people handle Hal Jordan's return? And is the Spectre known in any capacity over there?
>>84502215
I feel like my writing's kinda off-kilter right now actually. I'm running a fever. It makes more sense usually.
I hope the genuineness(?) of my experiences is getting through despite my lack of ability to express it all in words
>>84502101
Grant Gustin's face is kind of wrong, and I'm not sure how to describe it, but his voice is right.
There's kinda a disclaimer though. His voice in the TV SHOW is wrong, but his voice in Vixen is right.
http://www.cwseed.com/shows/vixen/vixen-season-1/?play=24dac429-d147-4492-bbe9-818188019537
Go to 12:24. Grant's doing a different, more cape cartoon voice for Flash than he does on TV, probably because he's rested and has time to think about how he wants to deliver the lines. That's more like what the Flash sounds like than how he sounds in the live action show.
ITT: Autism
You mentioned you merged with a hypercrisis doubleganger but also got taken to our universe by The Flash and Braniac? How'd that come about?

Nah, this whole thread is pure Autism and cringe
Is your personality these days still the same as it was in the DCU?
>>84502594
Any form of OC is looked down upon as "cringe" nowadays. Historically by ledditors. I'd prefer this over the umpteenth inflammatory politically charged false flag thread or whatever.
>>84502426
>probably because he's rested and has time to think about how he wants to deliver the lines
And not speaking through latex in the summer heat
Speaking of which, how does his suit look IRL?
>>84501194
>>84501657
Thank you so much!
Anything else notable about Kara? Sorry, I just love seeing my heroes humanized. Not in the deconstruction way, but just "made real".
Is OP kill?
>>84502926
She's been retconned.
>>84502926
Morrison did this
>>84498126
So what are your thoughts about the Hypercrisis?
How did it feel to see Snyder's effeminate, socially awkward Lex after living under his reign?
>>84502389
>Also, what is it like, seeing real displays of superpowers compared to the movies?
What I never think comes across is the changes in air pressure that come with super-strength fights. Someone taking a punch from superman can pop your ears at 10 yards. It feels weird!
>Who's your favorite superheroine you met, and why?
I like Supergirl. She's spunky.
>What did Batgirl look like?
Nothing like you think. Rounder face, chubbyish cheeks, large eyes. She's real real pretty IMO but not the typical male fantasy type face. Her face is so hard to describe I'm gonna try to create her in morphthing.
God I spent way to loong on this. Kind of, except her eyes are more lidded.
>>84503031
This is a little too thin to be her even, she has a chubbier face than this, but this is SO CLOSE.
>>84502425
>How did people react to the original Crisis when Flash died, and how'd they react when Barry Allen came back?
Flash's sacrifice was well publicized and people were, honestly, more emotionally impacted than when superman died. Superman's death was so big there was only shock, but when Flash died, just like that, everyone lost it.
People didn't question it when he came back. Superheroes. You never know.
>What kind of insurance is sold over there to cover damage done by capes?
Wayne Enterprises insurance, of course...It solves all these problems! Bruce Wayne has infinite money!
>Have any capes or villains ever been on the losing end of a legal suit based around such damage?
Small claims cases against the JL happen all the time, and they even lose. Batman pays them...
>Have any "villains" taken heroes to court, or vice versa?
They wouldn't dare, they're setting themselves up for a reversal.
>>84492391
Did you ever meet Firefly?
>>84502232
thats just why it feels like time moves slower as you get older, know what im sayin?
What were Gotham's public bathrooms like?
>>84503196
They're criminal!
You say you had 30 uninterrupted years? Do you mean once the episode started you were "born" and then lived a whole 30 year life, and you came back when you were "30"? If that's the case then in what "year" were you "born"?
Also how old were you when superheroes and villains started popping up? What were the initial reactions to the major ones, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc?
>>84501657
What if DC publishes a comic that is just her story, would you believe her then?
>>84502615
Sometimes. It depends on whether or not I'm having an episode. If I forget who I really am, yes. Otherwise, I'm much more retrained.
>>84503261
My brain instantly created ~30 years of memories extending backwards from the current time, and they stayed when the episode ended.
>If that's the case then in what "year" were you "born"?
It's more than 30 years, it's more like 30-40. 1972. The nuttiest part is that I was younger at the time, so the memories extend well before I was born.
>Also how old were you when superheroes and villains started popping up? What were the initial reactions to the major ones, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc?
I was a teen, and it was AMAZING. Holy shit, he can fly! Holy shit, some mook in a bat costume! WONDER WOMAN! I felt like the whole world had opened up! I could do anything! I could be anything! I needed to understand these people, what they were doing, why, and how they got here.
I had such a gross crush on Batman. Damaged men, yknow. They do it for me.
>>84503555
What did the supervillains in Gotham sound like?
Have you met Felicity?
>>84503031
Anything notable about Supergirl that someone who reads the comics wouldn't know?
How do you explain stories where a character acts extremely out of order? Did those just not happen? Like when Kara was an edgy teen who self branded, smoked, and got a tattoo?
Were there any JL-level big capes that aren't in comics over here? How good does Booster Gold's toothpaste work?
>>84503815
Not OP.I just like that Supergirl looks like a normal (cute) jane, apparently.
Plus, it's funny that Grant might be a villain.
>>84504285
>Supergirl looks like a normal (cute) jane
I like that. I wish comics did a better job at making people look "real".
>>84504285
well his ultimate motives are to fuck the dc universe after bringing her to life. and, while it may not be villainous is...strange to say the least.
>>84504397
Or it seems more like he's trying to somehow recombine our worlds
I'm getting real tired, fellas. Sick of questions where I gotta think. Identity reveal probably, so you can move on to questions I can answer without thinking. Tryin to figure out how to do it. I should probably just post my voice.
>>84504610
It's going to be Harley. She has the most recognizable voice in the DC universe.
>>84504610

tim daly's darn close
Which outfit was your favorite and why?
>>84505924
Jester, cuz of reasons I've posted about before:
"Imagining doing gymnastics in latex makes me want to puke. Imagine how slimy and hot and pinchy it'd get. The suit is spandex for a freakin reason. I think the original outfit, spandex and all, is Just Fine! It's cute, it's kitschy, it breathes, it's colorful, it makes a STATEMENT.
What's not to like?! You really gotta add a corset and a miniskirt? Hows she sposed to function, huh? All I can see is one of her boobs slipping out of the barely-supportive cups that are sewn into the outfit and getting pinched against one of the seams and not bein able to get her hand underneath to fix it because the arms and shoulders are tailored so tight. Spandex spandex spandex!"
>>84505181
I literally can't identify this voice
Was it supposed to be harley quinn? i don't get it
>>84506078
yea, but i'm too tired to put in the emotion it requires to be easily recognizable. The "Harley" voice is like a second voice on top of the real voice that's super excited and I'm exhausted so I can't do that part. It ends up sounding more like flashback harleen, which is close to my speaking voice now.
Here are some moderately less tired recordings where I can actually try to emote

Sorry for the potato, garbage phone.
Are you happier now in the real world than in Gotham?
>>84506366
Definitely not, but I am less stressed out.
>>84505924
I think I've found I like the original design less on more realistic/live action Harleys. Something about the hood bothers me. But it gets better and better the more stylized it gets.
Also I wish more things would depict her in the original but with the hair sticking out. Dunno why but I love that look.
Is Bane really a big guy?
Do you remember spending time in Arkham?
What was it like?
>>84506078
Which Harley? Sounds a lot like Sorkin's but not at all like Strong's.
Could buy Harley in a host body instead of her original body.
Falling asleep, guys. Post more questions though.
>>84498269
I think they're saying this is a duplicate of the "real" earth, so that if they wanted to show the real earth getting destroyed or Superboy coming from it or whatever, it would actually be this one, since they can't actually effect the nonfictional real world.

Vicki Vale?
You still here, OP?
>>84495223
>Ever rape the Joker?
>"What kind of joke is this?"
Oh man, you are in for a crazy time when that shit comes up.
The short rundown of it is that people here kept asking why hasn't Batman killed the Joker since if he kills him, it would solve and prevent a lot of problems. It somehow morphed from killing to raping the Joker.
What was your favourite restaurant in Gotham?
>>84495246
Wait, holy shit. Is your name Saldania?
I didn't know you browsed 4chan. You always seemed more of like a...I don't know, more of like a "Reddit" kind of person. Pretty interesting to see you hear, dude.
That is, if you are who I think you may be. Just in case you are Saldania, I used to go to the Drama club with Evelyn and stuff back in Highscool.
Legit reaching out to you because this crazy hunch of mine makes me think I know who you are.
>>84509083
OK. What's the story between you and Harley Anon?
>>84509119
No, I don't actually know who this "Harley-Anon" is. I don't even browse /co/ at all. My main board is /fit/, but I just caught a glimpse of this thread from the homepage, and I had to ask or else I'd regret it forever if I missed the chance.
Pretty much there's this girl I know that's SUPER into Batman and stuff, and she runs a Tumblr blog and everything on him. She always struck me as kind of...off, but overall, she's pretty chill, and I used to think she was kind of hot when we went to Highschool together. I remember looking down the back of her jeans one day and as a joke, I told her she was wearing pink; but I don't think she really got what I meant until way later. I really hope she remembers what I'm talking about, because if she's the one I'm thinking about, then I could literally just ask her all the questions I want about Gotham IRL without being constrained to this just this thread.
Now she never said anything about having a 30-year trip, but I just have this huge, unmistaken hunch that the person running this thread is the girl I know in real life.
99.99% chance I'm waaaaay off though.
P.S.
Have you ever thought about writing a book or something, OP? Even if you're not the girl I think you are? I mean, once you die, no one's going to ever hear about those 30 years ever again. You should really document it for, like, future generations and stuff.
What does the Joker sound like? His voice? His laugh?
OP, go get a notebook and write this all down. And make audio recordings too.
It might be the next Dark Night story.
What other cities did you visit? Did you ever come face to face with any other Bat Family members?
Thank you, OP. I read through all of your posts during my lunchtime.
This was the most refreshing read I had on /co/ in a few months, maybe years. Even if you made this episode up, it's still more genuine than anything that's normally posted here. Maybe even more so. More imaginative, in any case.
Thanks.You're voice is crazy hot
I'm awake, nerds. Be back after lunch!
Hey OP, something I'm curious about: Did you ever hear of the Superhero scene internationally? Were there people like Dr. Light protecting Japan and Etrigan in Europe, or was most of the activity focused around America like what we see in publications here?
When did history diverge? It seems as though you still had Jonah Hex and Easy Company, so westward expansion and WWII still happened, but when did it become more like pre-flashpoint continuity than the real world (I wish there was a better way to word that)?

>What was your favourite restaurant in Gotham?
Ohhh mannnn there was this place called Gentlemen Gyros that served gyros but the whole place was like joke upper-class themed and everyone was wearing suits and fake mustaches and spoke in joke haughty accents, even the women. Their Beef and Lamb was like mouth sex. It was heavier than expected and I'm a real putz so I ended up dropping the whole thing on the floor when it was handed to me. Euch. I'm the worst.

Sigh...
The voice ya hear when he's doing "The Joker" isn't really his real voice. He has a calmer voice than that. When he's not theatricating, there's a different voice that comes out, yknow?
A lot like Hamill, but a bit more baritone. It's somethin to behold, in my opinion. I beheld it a lot. There's this other place with real good pizza that someone suggested, but I've only ordered. The 50's gag is great, hear. I never went there, which makes me a sad, sad gal.
>What other cities did you visit? Did you ever come face to face with any other Bat Family members?
Bout every single one at one point or another! Kate Kane...would bang. I mean, she'd go out with a bang, at least.
Gotham got to know Bruce Wayne all biblical a few times. Paparazzi. They said he was hung, and they was right...
>Hey OP, something I'm curious about: Did you ever hear of the Superhero scene internationally? Were there people like Dr. Light protecting Japan and Etrigan in Europe, or was most of the activity focused around America like what we see in publications here?
Never paid attention. I was busy! Sue me.
> When did history diverge? It seems as though you still had Jonah Hex and Easy Company, so westward expansion and WWII still happened, but when did it become more like pre-flashpoint continuity than the real world (I wish there was a better way to word that)?
Different from the get-go, friend.

Wrong paragraph, crap!

I Totally forgot to quote you in the last post, AND I forgot this!!:
>What other cities did you visit?
Wellll
I went to Philly once. Yea, just philly. It was philly.
Didn't do much traveling. Sorry to disappoint.
>>84515026
>Yea, just philly. It was philly.
The fact that philly is still just philly in other universes amuses me more than it should.
How long did the "delusion" last on this end?
Were you cared for in an asylum or something?

>all those niggas that were apparently creative enough to create dozens of characters are actually going off their memories that have been copied over
Explains why Alan Moore is a fucking loon
How much did capes warp the global economy and international relations?
Were Americans less involved with the rest of the world (ie did they simply not have some of the wars they've had in this universe?) because they frequently dealt with all the bullshit that comes with capes? I can't imagine the government and people like Bruce Wayne spending much on military aid when they need to rebuild their capital cities every few months (and are sinking resources into Batman and the JL to boot)
Any other global changes? Don't have to be huge things like global warming or an uninhabitable continent (although that's neat too), even small quirks would be awesome to hear about
Sorry if the questions are boring. I like big picture stuff.
>>84515849
I wish I was that kind of crazy. You know. The interesting kind.
When big events happened did people think it was the end of the world or was there a "Superman will save me" mentality?
What stories in this world are the funnest to read (maybe not necessarily accurate)?
Did you discover anything shocking when you came over to this timeline? Like alternate universes, secret identities, etc?
Will there be any supers in this universe in our lifetime, to your knowledge?

There was a little superhero "arms race" thing, where the countries started "collecting" heroes. Most of em made it known pretty quick that they wouldn't be used in political schlock. The economy? That's kinda a huge question. I'd say the sense of hope they bring's a real boon cuz with them around, people think anything's possible. people pursue weird and interesting ideas more in the sciences and stuff, and the whole world's more interesting because of it.
This is a freaking huge question in general. You wouldn't believe how different the political landscape is in the DCU. Even before all the superhero jazz, science was different there. Alternative energy came about sooner, nuclear power was worked on with more vigor, and the lower dependence on oil worldwide changed everything.
I'm gonna lay somethin on you guys: TPAJAX never happened. The democratic Iranian government was never overthrown and replaced with an American-backed dictator, so extremists were never the only people nuts enough to go against the US and as a result, most of the Middle East modernized.
I dunno how to even BEGIN to go into what's different. First off, things are way more cold-wary. We don't have radical islamists to fight off cuz they never had the environment to become influential, so it's all Russia. There aren't really any Middle Eastern Russian proxies either, cuz they just wanna stay out of it and sell their goods, and Russia wants to make the US feel more threatened, so most of the juicy proxy war stuff goes on in South America.

>When big events happened did people think it was the end of the world or was there a "Superman will save me" mentality?
No, people were definitely scared, but they never lost hope. That's the best thing about the DCU: there's ALWAYS hope. There's none of the IT'S GOOD FOR THINGS TO BE GRITTY AND HOPELESS crap ya got here. People believe in the future, no matter what.
Sometimes I think that's the real point of divergence. Sometimes I wonder if all the advancements we made back in that world that haven't happened in this world were due to nobody bein hopeful it'd work. Like with goin to the moon. Get this: you guys went from inventing flying machines to going to the MOON in just over 50 years...the DC world is like if that kind of hopefulness and optimism and will to accomplish marvels just kinda never went away.
>What stories in this world are the funnest to read (maybe not necessarily accurate)?
Li'l Gotham is probably my favorite DC comic.
>Did you discover anything shocking when you came over to this timeline? Like alternate universes, secret identities, etc?
1. Bruce Wayne is Batman, went into this earlier.
2. Nobody knows who the Joker is, even here, where everyone knows who everyone is?! that's pretty darn impressive.
3. TIME TRAVEL?! TIME. TRAVEL?!?! THE JUSTICE LEAGUE GOES BACK TO THE OLD WEST? THE JUSTICE LEAGUE GOES TO THE FUTURE?! BATMAN HAS FOUGHT IN THE OLD WEST? ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS???
>Will there be any supers in this universe in our lifetime, to your knowledge?
Oh yea, you guys just wait. I saw a few things on the way here. Last century was THE last century where there were still things people could dream about that they couldn't do.

Thank you, thats really helpful. I had a few other questions if you don't mind.
Did you ever have a live-action appearance in this earth's movies/tv? If so what did you think about it?
Any media (music, movies, books, etc.) from that universe that we dont have here and vice versa?
How much is rent in Gotham?
Were there any huge physical changes you noticed between universes (gravity differences, does water taste different, alternate physics?)
Thanks so much for your time
