What would your plot for DKSA be?

[Kara Zor El]

Just a bit of fun for those of us who didn't like DKSA. If you liked it then you may as well ignore this thread. For everyone else - how about a little or large synopsis for your outline of a plot for DKSA. What's the angle. What's the devolpment from the first, etc.
I'll post mine later. Gotta get back to work.
Just to clarify. I'm talking about if Miller had not written DKSA. And DC came to you for the Sequal to DKR.

No need for a sequel at all, so no i turn them down :D

It was simply to much time between these books.

Better to do something new instead than trying to make an DKR 2.

And maybe that is what Milller did, but to me it all was pointless and unintresting.

Bingo. I'd say, I haven't seen you ask Alan Moore to write Watchmen 2, or V for Vendetta 2, so no thanks, the story is over. How about my new idea, cyber-psychotic-monkey, the magician??? Hello??? Hmmm, we must have been cut off. :)

It shouldn't be a DKR sequel, and I never really thought it was. It was just a big JLA adventure with ties to DKR. A sequel for DKR, eh? That's a tough one.

It would be all about Batman fighting polar bears.

Excellent! Bubbles would be impressed.

Ooo ooh Ninja Polar Bears

I'd have called it Superman: Man Of Tomorrow and had it centred on Supes and the reestablishment of superheroism divorced from governmental control. Bruce Wayne and his underground army would appear for a few pages in the last issue.

DC get this man a contract! Stat! :D

I agree with others, that we didn't need a sequel.

But if I was going to do a sequel, I would make the story about Batman (you know, that dark knight guy).

I don't really enjoy the "cast of thousands" stories much, because often you only get a small amount of character development (sometimes you get none!).

I'm also getting tired of the Superman VS Batman thing. It was fun the first time, but its getting a bit over done now - so that's out.

I also wouldn't use multiple villians.

And I would make it law that digital colouring served a purpose of supporting the story and mood of the scenes. There would be no room for "new" bullshit crappy default photoshop filters.

Thinking along the same lines myself. I wouldn't want to write a sequel to DKR, but would love to take plot elements from it to reinvigorate the character like Miller did with Batman in DKR.

Ooo ooh Ninja Polar Bears

In Atlantis! With Pirate Mermen!

In Atlantis! With Pirate Mermen!

Oh,and giant robots from the 8th dimension!!!!!

I liked it; but I'd have done something different.

I think I'd have picked up with Carrie, in say, 30 years. Bruce is long dead, and she's been running "the Sons of the Bat?" Isn't that what they were called? Anyway they have, as was said in the end of the Dark Knight, been working quietly all this time, as has Superman; but now, a threat has arisen, something that may have taken Superman out, and Carrie, the Bat's heir must herself, now become the Dark Knight, to attempt to save the Man of Steel, and regardless, save the world.

Very slick idea.

The "Superman as a government stooge" was a cool idea in the original DKR, but it was overplayed in the sequel to the point of ludicrousness. I'd like to see Supes be used in a different fashion; Carrie re-

Also, I personally liked the "former Robin as the new Joker" idea, although it would have made much more sense to be Jason instead of Dick (All of those comments about Bruce quitting "for Jason" could be about his betrayal of Bruce and turn to evil instead of his death, which is what the reader assumes).

As epic and satisfactory as the final battle was in DKR, it would seem quite fitting that the only way to follow that up would be the new Dark Knight (Carrie) vs. the new Joker (Jason); both former Robins.
