Okay, it's been June for a couple days, so I decided to make this thread. It's much better than having the original claim thread going on for hundreds of pages.
Here is where we will claim titles and characters. Remember to check the rules before you make claims. I'd much rather not have to say no, if I can avoid it.
[glow=red,2,300]Title Request[/glow] Title: Subtitle: Hero(es): Villains: Support:
[glow=red,2,300]Character Request[/glow] Character: Title: Hero/Villain/Support:

It is with great sadness that I'm going to have to drop Superman...I just can't get anything going with him. It just seems like its a struggle;where as I wrote two issues of Zatanna before I could get one issue of Superman out. The whole accidental killing idea just didn't Superman-ish. I know we're the Ultimate version but something just seemed off. Hopefully someone can do some justice to him.
I have a few ideas of characters that haven't been claimed yet, but I'm going to see if I can get a few issues done first before I try and claim them.

I'd claim Superman and do something with him, but I'd rather leave him open for new blood. I reckon I'm already playing enough hell with Batman.

This is Ultimate DC so there's free reign to do pretty much anything. Some people go all out and out there ala TKJ's Batman but at the same time we pick the characters we write because there's something we enjoy about the character, something we want to keep.

Completely understandable. I'm glad you're keeping Zatanna. I'm really interested with what you're doing there. Superman's a tough character to do well. Hell, if I were in your shoes I'd just re-write All-Star Superman... haha.

I'd like to take a shot at Ultimate Detective Comics. I was actually excited about the possibility and wrote half the first issue last night at 2am.
Title: Ultimate Detective Comics Subtitle: Featuring Nightwing & Robin Hero(es): Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Tim Drake (Robin) Villains: Deathstroke, David Cain, Black Mask, Carmine Falcone, Rupert Thorne, Red Hood, Victor Zsasz, Lady Shiva, Hush, Anarchy, Harley Quinn Support: Helena Bertinelli (Huntress), Summer Gleeson

I know our Ultimate DCU needs a Superman . So I'll propose to take it over. If anyones cool with it. I think I can launch the character and write him awhile. Then hand him off to someone here to get him started.

Then hand him off to someone here to get him started. Something that worked over at Ultimate Marvel from the old days was collaboration. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with that rather than you taking it for a short period of time. I mean if you take him in a direction that no one wants to build off of, we'd be in the same place, the only difference is that he'd be established in continuity. Not saying that would be the case, but it's something to take into account. In a collaboration, even if you don't intend to write him forever, your co-writer hopefully would. As for Ryan's claim. Everything looks good.

I reckon we'd be better off leaving the slate clean for a newcomer. I mean, Superman's a pretty big character. Let's not half-ass him.

Yeah I think someone would be more inclined to take the character if they are able to do whatever they want with them rather then having to adhere to something that's already established. What we did at the old DC was if they title had reached a certain number of issues then it stayed in continuity and a new author had to continue it. But in this case just delete my board and someone can start fresh.

I actually had a pretty decent idea for Superman, I don't know if I could make a series out of it though.

Thats cool. My main idea was to do 3-4 story arcs and hand it to someone. Hopefully someone signs up for it.

It appears I missed my deadline for Ultimate Flash. I will get that up as soon as humanly possible. I'm done with school for the week and while I have work, it shouldn't consume me too badly. It will be up by Monday at the very latest.

Hakuna Matata on not getting Flash up yet, though you should try to get it up by the end of the week.
I'm about 2/5 finished with the rough draft of Batman #2. Should be a little more action-oriented than the first issue, I think.

I'm still somewhat confused about the setup but I guess I should try my hand at it and get feedback/correction. My idea somewhat relates to Ryan/Ryn so if possible, I'd like to interconnect our ideas.
Title Request
Title: Ultimate Spoilers Subtitle: Who Needs the Birds of Prey? Hero(es): Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, Charlotte "Charlie" Gage-Radcliffe, Bette Kane Villains: Cluemaster, Blockbuster (Roland Desmond), Tarantula (Catalina Flores) Support: Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd
And no.... I have no clue why I am inspired to write a teen girl team series.

I have no problem working together on our ideas just shoot me a PM. I asked myself the same question with Zatanna but I'm actually loving the teen girl/college setting I've got going for her.

Okay, I'm not sure if all of these characters are open since the master claim list hasn't been updated for a while, but I think these are all open characters. I saw at one point that there was a claim on Jaime Reyes that was later retracted. I am more than willing to eventually co-exist with that character.
Title Request
Title: Ultimate Blue Beetle Subtitle: Bruce Wayne's Not The Only CEO-some Hero Hero: Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) Villains: The L.A.P.D. (for now) Support: Max Lord (for now), Dan Garrett (for now...)
I don't feel right claiming him now because my story is going to be a slow build, but I have eventual plans to incorporate Booster Gold and a Blue and Gold team aesthetic so I'll just float the idea that if someone decides to write Booster to hopefully be open to collaboration.
