What's this? We have the new claims thread up on the first day of the month? It must be a leftover Leap Day Miracle.
Here is where we will claim titles and characters. Remember to check the rules (or New Year Changes since we haven't updated the rules lately) before you make claims. I'd much rather not have to say no, if I can avoid it.
Please use the Character Request format if you seek to claim new characters. Really makes things easier on me.*

Edit: Remember that Miller has started the Wallpaper Character Index and I've started the Free Character Draft. Don't forget to check out those topics and fill them in as need be.

*Edit #2: Cause certain people don't get it, use the form or SOME similar form or the claims will not count.

I get the fun pleasure of showing you guys how the new wallpaper system works with the Revamped Nightwing claim. Wallpapers can be claimed at any time and should be listed somewhere. There's a very good reason for this. Some can overlap. Some could be seen as tied to a character while others could be seen tied to a city. And some might not be wallpaper at all but you might think they are (and have your chance to make your case in the Index topic)
Remember. A good way to determine if a character is wallpaper is if you remove them from a title and they become random Cop A, generic Gangster B, Dutiful Butler C, Love Interest D, Busy-body Reporter E, etc...

I'll have to talk it over with Chirs since you were behind without notice and didn't keep up with the new policy.

Everything looks good as far as I can tell. Can't wait to see your first issue.
I know one thing, Batman is in good hands.

Wouldn't the Dakatoverse/Milestone have more in the terms of potential wallpapers?
A few points:
1. Onyx: Is that the Batman/League of Assassins character or is there another one I don't know about?
2. Talin... DCAU Talon? The Harpy? Cause there's a lot of Talons.
3. Actually, you know what, to make it easier on me... Which ones are the DCAU and which ones exist on New Earth?

DCAU: Gear, She-Bang, Ebon, Shiv, Leech, Talon, Onyx, and Ragtag. Everyone else actually existed in the Milestone books to the best of my knowledge, though their status on New Earth is not as clearly defined. |

Ok I wanna say I'll not use Ted Grant in the revamped origin of Shadow I plan to do. Its gonna go a different way and use the JSA characters like Starman , Flash and Sandman. But I do wanna claim one character and I have tried to claim this character before.
I-Ching . I would like to claim I-Ching for the arc and it can go under my Green Arrow claims because well...you saw how I wanted to use him before. And well...I wanna us him briefly. (I plan to do a GA arc around the Shadow and tie him into one of my characters origin there.)

Superecwfan, I had multiple notices in the other claims threads that if people were missing from the list to notify me or risk losing their claims.
I'm not going to be a total ass but you will have to reclaim at least one of those characters and please follow the proper guidelines. And now, given your intent, I would ask you to hold off on your limited until the "results" appear in your current titles or at the very least, send it to me first so I can do my continuity thing to it. There were more problems than Ted Grant (who I don't mind you using... just using out of character).
---
My claims and I'll be honest up front. Scarlet the character will not be introduced in Grayson but the Mantle will. I just need her for the next BatB given I had to claim Gordon last month, taking her from me.

Its not gonna be a limited. Its gonna be in a future Green Arrow arc. I am reworking it to be part of the current series I am doing.
Again as far as Ted Grant , I wanted to show how he wasn't exactly a guy pleased at being sent to Vietnam . I wanted to show his anger at that situation because basically they were told they were going.
And what characters do you want me to reclaim ? The Shadow and 1st Black Canary was only ones on my claims for this. I had thought I-Ching was but wanna make sure he gets added.

You're fine on Black Canary. She's a classic wallpaper character. But yeah. You need to reclaim Shadow and I-Ching.
Edit: Also, I recall you using Gotham. I will say that you may want to talk to MRP. For cities that are generally run by one character, like Gotham is to Batman, it's best to defer to them. Like how Gotham was more or less an off limits zone when TKJ had the title because he had big plans for it. Not saying MRP will say no, but you may want to see what his plans are for the city before you use it.
Just a heads up.

As for Gotham, I am ok with people using it, but yeah check with me I am developing the list of city officials & personalities (police chief, commissioner, mayor, councilmen, key newsanchors, editors at the Gotham Gazette, police officers (both those clean and on the take), crimelords active in the city, alliances and rivalries between those crimelords, territories of each crimelord within Gotham etc. key families (beyond the Waynes, Kanes and Cobblepots), etc.
Gotham is a living breathing city in the series and one of the characters of Detective. If you want something to happen in Gotham, its cool, but make sure the right people are involved etc.
You may also want to check with Wachter, as he has most of the Kanes and has established some stuff about Gotham in his books as well. We have been coordinating the Gotham stuff and hashing out details since I got the nod for the Bat.
Then there's the behind the curtain stuff that the rank and file citizenry of Gotham doesn't know about, that will be slowly revealed in story as I progress in 'Tec.
'Tec is not quite as tightly plotted as BoM, but I did send in a rough outline for the 12 issues worth of stories when I pitched it, some of which I have been modifying as I hash things out with Wachter, to make it fit the bigger Ultimate DCU as a whole.
So yeah, lots happening in Gotham and I don't mind if others join the party, just make sure you have a lay of the land before you do.
