Still recovering from Black Mask's brutal assault, Gotham City is engulfed in an unnatural blackness and storming skies. The oceans and earth rise against the citizens and threaten to extinguish all life it can. The Guardians of Gotham, without communication, are fragmented and scattered throughout the city, and it's only a matter of time before they realise that their leader has already met his end at the hands of the Black Lantern Behemoth. Will the Guardians of Gotham be able to hold together? Will the villains turn and run, exploit the situation, or join the fight to save their own homes?!
Going good and strong! Always looking for new players! Come join us and help save the world from the apocalypse, or finish it off!
A Dark and Distant Future
It was the year 2152. The world has advanced miles beyond what we know and see today. Technology we cannot yet dream of is commonplace. Cybernetics are the new norm and as common as glasses, braces, or prosthetic limbs. Genetic modification is widely accepted as normal in modern society, and genetic mutation and malformations have all but been eradicated from the earth. Many diseases, including cancer, have had cures found for them, and only crop up in rare circumstances before being snuffed out with simple but effective genetic therapy treatments. While life for common man has improved over the past hundred and thirty years, crime, poverty, corruption, corporate greed, and political influence still exist and pressure every aspect of life. Though wars still exist in third world countries, it seems a world far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life...
The End of the World
May 29th, 2152. No one knows what caused it. No one knows who launched them. No one knows what happened. All that is known for sure is that the world, at once, heaved, screamed, and now bleeds. In an instant, every nuclear device on the planet, everyone that the US, Russia, Europe, and Asia had sworn they had destroyed, detonated. In less than ten minutes, over one billion people died. In the years that followed, billions more would die of radiation poisoning, diseases, black carbine and acid rain, famine, and of course, other humans. The generation of heroes tried to pull the world together, but in the end, they too were lost to the madness and darkness that had consumed the world. Global cooling has wrapped the world in greenhouse gasses, and the people of the world cry out for someone, anyone, to save them...
Current Day
It is July 2155. Three years have passed since the world was destroyed. Nuclear winter wraps the globe. The global population is estimated by experts to be under 5,000,000 humans in total, and the number continues to drop as winter and poison rains persist. Yet there is progress. In many cities around the world, people are coming together, banding against the dangers the dark new world has brought to them. Together, they can defend each other against mutants, raiders, and those driven mad. Militias are formed and communication lines are bring brought back up by brave souls venturing into wastelands to bring them up. They have even recently made communication with an existing functional satellite.
Gotham City is one of these cities banding together for strength. Almost half a million people have traveled from all across the eastern side of the United States to seek shelter and protection among the ruins of Gotham, protected by the People's Militia of Gotham City, funded by those wealthy enough to afford such protection. As Gotham grows in population and power, so too does the corruption within the established seat of government...
Setting and Premise
The heroes of this time and age have failed the world. It is time for new heroes to rise from the ashes of the apocalypse, to stake their claims and do what heroes do best; save the world the best ways they know how. With the failures of the new heroes to prevent the end of the world and save those who could have been saved, their mantles have been abandoned. Instead, those of the past, who ran the streets over a century ago, have been adopted. Names that have not been heard for decades are now whispered with reverence in the night.
Nightwing.
Wonder Woman.
Flash.
Batman.
These are the names of the heroes the world needs once again. Rise and take your mantle. Save the world while there is still something left to salvage.

Welcome to Batman: Endgame! We are looking for a multitude of characters before we can really get started on the game, including plenty of heroes and villains. If you like Batman but thought you could make him better, here's your chance to make a character your own. Come check us out! See you there!!
This game is player plot driven. Besides basic story plot lines I lay before you as GM, everything else to do with story or plot is player created, implemented, involved and driven. I am here to moderate, solve disputes, make threads, and play as a player. I am not here to be a solo game instigator or keep you entertained if you want to be antisocial. I might make an NPC if you want to press on a certain story line, but the majority of NPCs will be player controlled, such as raiders, Sons of Zsasz, militia men, scavengers, etc etc.
With all that said, if you ever need anything or have any questions, do not be afraid to inquire!
