So for a while now I have been toiling away in a wiki of my own focusing on the New 52 incarnation of Batman, though I have reached 161 pages, some of which are not Batman, I am now reaching out for help.

This is what I need help on:

* Adding wikia content such as quotations.
* Batgirl, Batwoman, Catwoman, Tim Drake, Teen Titans, Rogues

But here is the catch, this wikia is very strictly wikipedia based. Let me elaborate, there are no pages such as Detective Comics or Batman (comic) because that's not what the wiki is about. Remember in the Return of Bruce Wayne at the end of history everything is being collected and sourced out, that's what this is supposed to be like: a biographical insight into all the characters, events, locations and items in the New 52. Some of the content in the wiki is Modern Age based such as Bruce's training by John Zatara, I have decided to leave such stuff until Zero Year proves me wrong. So, I've taken Bruce's entire history in the New 52 and I've managed to make it a biography, same for Dick Grayson.

One thing to note, though, the name Dick is mentioned only once and this is for a reason, his full name is Richard Dick Grayson and hence I address him as Richard throughout the entire wiki.

Also, using artwork from the New 52 is not necessary as long as the artwork describes what is happening at the time. Example: I have a photo of Dick Grayson as Batman, not N52 artwork, but it still properly displays the canon.

Those who are able to follow the rules will be promoted to administrators and moderators, while those who try to troll and such will be banned.

JUST............WHY!!!!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?

Not even Bruce, in all his grief, should have been that stupid. He has lost practically every other member of his family because he was an idiot, WHY F*** UP SOMETHING THAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING WELL? You know, he could have been all "Hey Jason, mind coming with me? I want us to work together on trying to figure out how you came back to life so maybe we can use it to bring back my other son, and we can all work together on being a real family. And along the way we can get some old fashioned revenge on the a**hats Talia hired. Would that be OK?" But nope, because he has to be all DARK and MYSTERIOUS, and can't just tell anyone that he wants their help, and it blows up in his face, just like the last 5 times he did that.

WHY HAS BATMAN BEEN MADE SO FREAKING STUPID!? It's like after the reboot every Batman writer took it on themselves to make Batman act dumber and dumber.

JUST...... WHY!!!!!?

This isn't a vote of who you like best as a whole but who you like best sorely in the New 52 out of the whole Batman family titles including Teen Titans, the Outlaws and Birds of Prey etc.

Rules are still as follows:
* You can either add one point OR subtract one point from a single title each turn . . . not both.
* Remember to add a "+" (plus) sign or a "-" (minus) sign to the new number you are posting for that title.
* Please be considerate and remove all previous “+” or “-” signs from old votes.
* Please make sure you indicate which title you are voting on by making only that title bold.
* You can vote once every 5 (five) turns (there must be AT LEAST 4 votes between your votes);
OR you can vote after two hours have passed with no other votes.
** HOWEVER, to avoid excessive craziness, there must also be at least a half hour (30 minutes) between your votes.
* A time reset after the two-hour period means EVERYONE can vote again.
* Please be sure to edit your own post quickly in case somebody posted a vote between the time you copied the list and when you finally were able to post your new vote.
* There is a 20 point limit/cap per a title.
* When a title has no points left, that title is eliminated from the game.
*The game ends when only 1 character remains.
* Please watch that you don’t accidentally delete a title that still has points remaining.
(This frequently happens with the bottom title on the list when someone intended to merely delete the “[/QUOTE]” from the end of the post they were working off of.)
* If somebody requests a “Time Out” because of confusion about the numbers, all votes cast AFTER the “Time Out” is called/posted will be considered invalid. Those people can re-vote once a “Time In” is later called.

Ever since the shooting in the theater in Colarado happened on the night of the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises," there have been conspiracy theories aplenty attached to it. It expanded when the Sandy Hook school shooting happened in Connecticutt, and certain people started to say that there was a scene in the movie in which someone pointed to a map that clearly had the words "Sandy Hook" on it. I was not in the least bit impressed when I first heard about this, since the people speaking on talk radio said things like, "In 'Dark Knight Rising' the Joker points to Sandy Hook on a map," which gets both the title of the movie wrong and the fact that the Joker isn't in it, and then I heard a variation in which it was said that Bane was the one pointing to the map, and I couldn't for the life of me remember a scene in the film in which Bane pointed to any map. But tonight I heard it repeated, and I decided to Google it, and I found an article that talks about how it was actually Commissioner Gordon who pointed to Sandy Hook on the map. I just had to pop in the dvd to look for it. Since getting the dvd I've noticed how there are many things that aren't as sharp and crisp as they were on the big screen, but I think I found the scene in question. Gordon and the remnants of the police force are gathered in their hideout just before the black guy Agent Jones and his men appear. There are maps spread out on a table, with walkie-talkies on top of them. Gordon moves one of the walkie-talkies slightly on the map as he's talking to everybody, and it rises up to some words on the map that are not legible on my tv screen. Maybe on the big screen they were, I don't know. This is the only scene in the entire movie that I can find that goes along with the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory. Frankly I think the whole thing is pretty hokey. Anyone else have any input on this? ]]> Batman Kensei http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?454206-Dark-Knight-Rises-conspiracy-theory <![CDATA[Rory Nolan in "Dark Knight Rises"]]> http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?454203-Rory-Nolan-in-quot-Dark-Knight-Rises-quot&goto=newpost Sat, 18 May 2013 10:36:34 GMT Amazing how you can notice something new about a favorite movie even after repeated viewings. I was just rewatching "The Dark Knight Rises" and noticed for the first time "Little boy on bridge" played by Rory Nolan in the credits. I'm assuming that's the boy saved from a beating by Selina from two thugs he's stolen an apple from, on what appears to be a bridge, just before Bruce makes his big reappearance in Gotham. My curiosity piqued, I did a quick Wikipedia search on Christopher Nolan and sure enough, Rory is his son. Just wondering if this was common knowledge before, or if I've made a discovery here.

Or-- do I have the wrong character and the wrong bridge? The MAJOR bridge scene in the movie is the one where Blake is trying to lead the children out of Gotham and is stopped by the cops and there are multiple young boys there. I did note that the boy in the scene with Selina bears very little resemblance to either Christopher or his wife Emma. Is it maybe that little moptop redhead kid with the glasses? Just wondering if anyone can shed light on this. ]]> Batman Kensei http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?454203-Rory-Nolan-in-quot-Dark-Knight-Rises-quot Dick/Babs help! http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?454185-Dick-Babs-help!&goto=newpost Sat, 18 May 2013 02:24:43 GMT I've been seeing a girl for a while that shares my love of comic books.
