*Shurgs* I'm hesitant to provide ideas, because I feel like my railroading has made people hesitant to participate in the discussion, and the RP T-T
Where you guys at, head-wise?
If everyone just wants to get to making characters, we could just shove together an AU, it's not like DC as a publisher is very faithful to what's already been written :P
I would suggest;
-A generation ahead of the Batman era we're used to, a new generations of heroes and villains walk the streets, including a new Suicide Squad, under the direction of Waller's daughter. The team is led by (Insert either Harley, or a Harley inspired character), who (reason for wanting to redeem herself/for being manipulated into working for Waller, something something).
-Bruce is dead. Jason has taken up the mantle (as Sanity said ^_^) of Batman, but Joker can tell. He knows the real Batman isn't the one wearing the cowl, and with his super-intellect, it doesn't take long for him to realize the truth; Batman is dead. Joker suffers a mental breakdown at the loss of his reason for being, and starts threatening and coercing criminals into joining his new super-hero team. Of course, they don't have any qualms about lethal force ...
-Something something Flashpoint.
