Open Thread: Oracle Hotline
--Have the antagonist of your current WiP introduce the main character.
Haha, I really love this idea! I don't know much about Gotham by Gaslight's Lex Luthor, though I do know he runs a place called Luthorville which is some kind of mining-company town he uses to fund his science experiments. I'm sure he has nothing but contempt for the bumbling Clark Kent, sheriff of Smallville, and is confused about why his nefarious plans always seem to unravel when Kent is around. He'll be intrigued by Bruce Wayne but deeply annoyed by Batman once he meets him.
(I spent most of my writing time this week researching the kind of clothing Oscar Wilde wore in order to dress Bruce as an appropriate dandy! Though it does seem as though the actual Bruce in that world is much more sober, so I might have to tone it down a bit. No sunflowers in his lapel, alas).
I hope the holidays are treating you well! How do your antagonists feel about those annoying heroes?
