I know, our Gotham hasn't even really started out yet, but hear me out!
The alternate DC universe which we have started to create here at Fans is cool. I think it has a lot of potential to be excellent, as an exploration of how the origins of different characters may have panned out in what is effectively the Nolanverse.
HOWEVER, I also realise that this was not what I personally found exciting about the prospect of writing in the DC universe. This is just something that's personal to me, and I am not knocking what we've started to create by any means... but I recently saw this posted on Tumblr.
THIS is what I really wanted to roleplay. A story focused just on the Batfam. With a handful of characters, tightly linked together. Since we're putting out in the open what would make us RP more frequently, for me this is it. I want to do DC threads that are more firmly rooted in the comics. Nightwing and Batgirl and Red Hood and Red Robin fighting against classic Batman villains.CHILDREN OF THE BAT { a television series focusing on the sidekicks of Bruce Wayne }
Bruce Wayne’s time as the Batman has ended, the only thing left of his legacy are the children he’s trained to carry on in his place. Now it’s up to them to pick up the shattered pieces of the Batman & protect the people of Gotham as they discover their places in the team, their city, & the world. In the absence of their leader they struggle to deal with being raised as soldiers in a world where they should have been children. As their lives come crashing down around them they learn that the only way to survive the job & life in general is to lean on each other when they can’t stand on their own.

Would anyone be interested in trying this? I know it's a lot to ask, given that we have the Nolan-inspired stuff going on and still in its early days, but we could use this 'Gotham' tag as a way of identifying the 'Children of the Bat' threads.
