The crafting potential is endless!

So, this swap will be based on both the movies, the comics, the animated series. Anything Batman related goes! Yes, that means the Batman Villains are definitely allowed in the swap!

The swap will be a 6 point swap, you crafting One Big Item, One Medium Item, and One Small Item. Of course you can do more or less, if you discuss it with your partner first.

Woop! Thanks for organising this - I'm super excited 
Off to start filling out my questionaire, I should be sending it in a day or two.

[Chinjo Petite]

  Filling out my questionaire right now!!!! 

[RevolutionaryGirl]

Filling out the Questionnaire and realized something: Are we including Batman Beyond?

But yay swap!

[AlexPrime]

I have never been much of a fan of Batman Beyond, but yeah, if you and your partner both like it, go ahead! It IS Batman, after all!

I wasn't keen on the idea of Batman Beyond at first but it really grew on me. Same with The Batman which I love now despite it's kiddie-ness.

I remember watching the first Batman Beyond ep and being really angry, mostly to see Bruce Wayne so old and weak. But it definitely grew on me. I never really caught on to The Batman. I liked it much more once the show realized it wasn't as serious as it thought it was and they played with that. I really liked the Harley episode, with the song and dance number, it was just so perfect for those characterizations. 

Wow, so many versions of so many characters. The crafting potential is endless!

[RikaHeart]

Batman!!! hehe! I love Batman, but not as much as I LOVE Superman.  hehe in a RP, Batman aka Bruce Wayne... is known as Uncle Bruce to a character of mine lol!! I never did like Batman Beyond that much o.o. No one can replace Bruce Wayne

[AlexPrime]

Woohoo! Two sign-ups so far! Come on, Batman fans!

Yeah, I am a die-hard fan of the Animated Series (Mark Hamill!) but not so much of the other Batman cartoons. I utterly loath the new design for The Joker in the The Batman. He looks like a monkey.  But, it IS meant for kids, and it's a bit less serious than the other shows, so I guess whatever works. I also could never get into Batman Beyond, much, since to me, NO ONE can replace Bruce Wayne as Batsy! Bruce Wayne is just one of those things that should be constant. Death, Taxes, Bruce Wayne-disguised-as-a-Bat. Ya know?

Haha, RikaHeart, sadly, I haven't ever really been much of a Superman fan. I mean, I have a huge respect for the guy, but he is too bright for my tastes. One reason I love Batman is because it is easy to relate to his humanity and his struggle with good and evil. Perhaps I just haven't seen a Superman version I could truly relate to. Any suggestions?

OH! Speaking of Batman (and Superman), has anyone else here seen 'The Worlds Finest', also known as 'The Batman/Superman Movie'? One of my favorite animated movies! It was originally an three part episode of Superman: The Animated Series, but Batman, Joker, and Harley Quinn are main characters in it. I highly recommend it, if you haven't seen it yet. J'adore! 


Oh! And for laughs: http://superdickery.com/  Probably the greatest site I have ever come across in my many years of internet. It makes fun of all the really old superhero comic covers and the like. Some of them, I can't even believe were ever published!! I really recommend it!

I love that movie! The dynamic between Bruce/Clark and Batsy/Superman is fantastic.

Second this recommendation! Hours and hours of time wasting entertainment.
