    Stephanie Brown isn't evil either, and she was the hottest Robin. Too bad Batman could never love her the way he loved the others.

    I failed to mention her because I would like to forget her existence.

    To put this into perspective, the original Batman comics, with the original Robin (who would become Nightwing), saw a villain die in just about every issue. Batman didn't directly kill them, he just let it happen in a very campy manner...however, the very first Batman comic did end with him killing a guy directly.
    If Batman doesn't agree, then neither do I. Then again, Batman doesn't know the difference between a psychopath and a person who's psychotic.
    Didn't even know about the female Robin, I had a huge lapse in comic coverage. Perhaps it was for the best.
    When she was around, had the Joker put Bat Girl in a wheelchair yet?

    Original Batman used to shoot criminals.

    Sooo, derailing aside... I'm brainstorming for a novel I'm working on.

    That's right, I'm working on it. Writer's block counts as working.

    Anyways, any good ideas I use will be acknowledged, (but not paid for). It's not stealing if you're warned.

    Anyone interested in actually roleplaying some prehistory?

    Edit: Well, obviously not, in retrospect. How about a superhero game?

    I'd like a superhero game, but only if Arthgon can be invincible and have the power of having any power he wants.

    That sounds like a combination of Silver Age Superman (a fictional man so powerful he couldn't be challenged by his own writers) and Modern Superman (who's somehow growing immune to Kryptonite).

    Since when were my characters uber powerful or could do aything? They even had their personal problems, weaknesses and made mistakes. So why?

    If we go for the superhero, then I want to have a regular superhero, but still having weaknessess to make up with the powers.

    Edit: I rather would do a prehistory rpg. Because that would be interesting.

    You're confusing your characters with yourself there mate.

    No. I have not confused those two this time. Because I am absolute sure that my characters have not any super powers or invinisble.

    If there was such things, then I sincerly sorry about this.

    Let the record show that Arthgon distinguishes the difference between himself and his roleplay characters as "the roleplay characters do not have superpowers".

    Grak: So, you are saying that I think that I have super powers? It would have been cool, but no. Why? Because it does not exist.
    Zanza: Says the guy who wants to be a bloody Batman in an interesting thread about the aspects of the Prehistoric world and people.

    On topic: What will it be Superhero or a Prehistoric RP?

    Edit: What should we put as a Prehistoric language or just in 'normal' English? That is because there is no true evidence of what for language(s) they have spoken.

    While he twisted your words to have you say that, I actually did say that.
    No, Grakelin wanted to be Batman, Zanza wanted to be Nightwing. They're both formidable combatants, but their gadgetry would need to be played own a bit to fit within the time frame if it was even allowed. Plus, I'm not entirely certain kevlar anything existed 100,000 B.C.

    I think the vote is still being held. I dropped my prehistoric vote, you choose which you want. As for language, while we don't know what languages were being spoken, we can probably guess nothing was being written in any way. There could be some sort of plot device where a player character takes time to learn the basics of another tribe's language, or for the sake of convenience, everyone will be speaking the same language.

    I will vote for the prehistory, because that is more interesting than a super hero rpg.

    I think it would be better that everyone should learn the languages of other tribes, because that would be more genuine to that time frame than knowning the same languages. Perhaps the same way how it was done in 13th Warrior, where the hero learned the language of the Vikings after being around them for awhile. Before that, he does not understand them at all.

    The only thing that I want to point out is that name-giving of the people and tribes in that era are not very clear.

    Batman went back in time and had his utility belt during the dawn of man.
