Dark Knights of Steel

[Frontier]

I mean Dark Knights is in the title I thought it was a given this was more of a bat book

Well, Taylor said the title was just for marketing, but that depends on how much you take him at this word.

believed that the title was the union of the nicknames of batman and superman, a medieval form of Batman / Superman.

Could be part of it .

People will probably always write it off as an Elseworlds...

Well, that's what *I* will always write Injustice off as. And Taylor gets a freebie for having to work around the game's story he didn't write.

But that doesn't mean Taylor's other work gets the same kind of leeway. I love DnD, so this should be a lot of fun, but if it's just a bunch of Batwank I'm out.

Is that Barry or Constantine?

I'm guessing it's Barry?

I imagine Constantine would be....dirtier.

Plus, that looks like Black Lightning as king, so....yknow....lightning. I think it's Barry.

[Vordan]

It’s Constantine, Taylor talked about writing “a” Constantine in DKoS. Plus he always tries to write Constantine in everything he does (despite not being very good with him imo). As a wizard he’s a natural fit for this world though.

[Ascended]

Ah. I stand corrected then.

Still think John should be dirtier.

[Frontier]

Looks like we're getting Queen Ivy. I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor goes for some kind of "Grand Romance" between her and Jester Harley.
