Would I be correct in assuming Batman's files would include a reference to the mainline universe's Elizabeth Kane?

You would be correct. It would be something like:

"...Faced against the last currently known High Madame of the Religion of Crime Alice (real name Elizabeth Kane, see file for more information). Current Whereabouts of High Madame unknown, presumed deceased..."

That's about as much as I'd figured would be in the report - just enough to get Kate questioning if Liz survived in her universe...

Edited the file excerpt to include Beth's alias-"Alice."

DND: I'll PM you your file once your character decides to open it.

EDIT 2: http://dcwomenkickingass.tumblr.com/...2/caseforsteph

Sophistemon hasn't posted in a while, so I've PM'd him, but if the rest of you are okay, I'll finish wrapping this arc up.

Guys, please accept my apologies for my recent silence: work has been uncharacteristically busy, since we're gearing up for Black Friday. When you add to that the recent release of Skyrim, you've got me with very little free time. Still, I should have made more of an effort to contribute, and I'm sorry that I didn't. There's been a lot of good roleplaying since my last post; you should be really proud of yourselves. I've enjoyed reading through it to catch up. Kudos to all of you.

Oh, Skyrim. Don't spoil anything for me; I'm going to be getting it on Black Friday myself. If I don't, you know, die trying to get to it.

On a related note, don't spoil Arkham City for me - I've tried to stay as spoiler free on that game as possible, and it finally drops for the PC on Friday.

But I think it's incredible that [censored] [redacted] [censored] with a [information unavailable]!

I'm going to be getting that one as well over Black Friday.

You really, really should. I bought it the night it came out, and it's the first game I've purchased in years that actually feels worth the money that I've spent on it. If you get it at a bargain... you won't regret it, I can almost promise you that.

Yes, Kate met Ambush Bug. No, she didn't tell you guys about it. Heck, for all I know, maybe there's only one Ambush Bug, and he can jump in and out of stories and universes as he desires.

Finished watching Batman: Year One.

Good stuff, but not as good as the comic. Obviously.

I watched it the other day, enjoyed it. Laughed when Gordon beat the crap out of corrupt cop and left him naked and tided up.

So, instead of getting Skyrim and Arkham City, I was only able to get Arkham City.

No regrets, though, in any case. It's so good...

For the sake of the game, your job, and your social life, it's probably a good thing you didn't get Skyrim. People lose time when they play Skyrim.

Well, in between slaying the dragon, remember to shoot and flirt your way through Gotham.

First thing as soon as I get home from taking my brother to the airport really early tomorrow/today. Right now must sleep.

I don't even know what month it is anymore.

Kidding! I'm paying attention; I'm just waiting for the right moment for Lock-Up to say something poignant to Red Robin*.

*Yummm.

Yeah...that particular franchise doesn't exist in the DCU. If only to keep the food-related quips at bay.

Also, this is everybody's last post for the arc, pretty much. It's now or never for Lock-Up.

Just letting people know that I'll be away for much of the next two days. Hopefully nothing too earth-shattering will happen then.

Okay.

We'll be starting the next arc probably within that time frame, so I'll just use your latest JIC roll for anything that might come up at the start of it.

Groovy.

Sophistemon and ChronicLunacy, please get your characters through the portal so we can get the next arc moving. As things are going, the third arc, which is supposed to be the Christmas Annual, is going to happen in January or Feburary next year.

You may post IC final reactions to the arc in your first post of the next one.

OOC feedback is highly appreciated; PM me if you have any comments or concerns. I'm still not satisfied with the description of the ending.

Reset all hero points to their normal amount. They will not carry over between arcs.

EDIT: Everybody gets 2 additional pp, and you are also all PL 11 now. That being said, you are NOT allowed to shift any additional pp around without PMing me with specifics and a good reason, and my approval.

I liked it!

If I have one complaint, it's a minor one: I would have enjoyed more time to interact with the heroes of the Official Universe*, but I understand that things need to be moved along. It is ... kind of disappointing that Official Bolton was likely destroyed in the Universal Conflagration mere moments after our Lock-Up asked for his attempted redemption, but cookies will crumble as they will. All-in-all. I thought it was interesting. To have a member of the official Batman team call Lock-Up a good person means a lot to him, and to me. Should I take that as a sign that I'm playing him right?

I'll need to take a good, hard look at my character sheet to see if anything needs changing; I don't really think so, at the moment. I keep thinking to myself, "You very rarely ever use the Polymath power", which is true; I often forget that I have it, so my skills are lacking. I could maybe dissolve it into actual skill ranks and additional feats. But then I think, "But what if I need it?" And then my Internal Congress gets all riled up and Preston Brooks starts wailing on Charles Sumner until I let things rest as they are.

If I think of something, I'll let you know. There may be something that I could do with the Gadgets power ... But I'll send you a PM if I think of it.

*This is an imaginary story. Aren't they all?

I liked the ending and the metatextual farewell. It was very Morrision, but in a good way, and I get the feeling that you'll be experiementing with different styles of comics throughout these arcs. At least, I hope so . On Katherine's side, I think her alternative story was pretty complete and all sewn up, although she and Luigi still need to have a little talk about what she said to the crazy bat-person.

As for the pps, I'm not sure. I think I'll use one to grab the Minion feat for Steph and the other one either on pumping up my Will Save to the max or doing the same to some of my skill ranks.
