You can still write your story. How many people have written a Joker/Bats story?? True, but it kind of interrupted the momentum. I was going through possibilities: Batman meets Dracula—done; Batman meets Sherlock Holmes—done; Batman meets Jack the Ripper (er, Jack the Ripper/HH Holmes hybrid)—done (and very well, at that); Batman meets…hey, Lovecraftian horror! No one’s done that! I have no idea why it’s easier to write Batman than the other superhero characters. But there just seems to be more that a writer (at least, this writer) can do with him. “Batman meets the Phantom of the Opera”? Batman gets wrapped up in the Sleuth Singer’s web?

We’re trying to avoid that, remember? AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!! (By the time the Sleuth search is over, I could pit Batman against myself in a story—I’d be as nutty as the Joker! )

I once tried to write a story featuring the Marvel guys—Cap, Iron Man, et al. I could probably write it if I really set my mind to it, but I just couldn’t get past having them all together in the same room. If I ever wanted to try that, I’d have to know the storylines better, I suppose, as I only really know the Marvel characters from these movies.

Damn. I was about to write a (serious, i.e., not like the one above) story in which Batman fights Lovecraftian monsters, to have ready for this board by Hallowe’en. Then I found out someone else already beat me to the idea. Of course someone else already beat me to the idea. You can still write your story. How many people have written a Joker/Bats story?? Damn.

I actually started this one yesterday, but it got too moody and non-Batman-y, so I think I’m going to turn that into straight Lovecraftian horror fiction. So now I need a new premise…I mean, it’s still generally going to be Batman v. Lovecraftian Monsters (Old Ones, Elder Gods, the whole kit and kaboodle), but I need a specific concept to spring off. Hm.

Hm. I’ll be honest, my difficulty with making progress on this one is mostly because I can’t decide whether to write a Lovecraft pastiche with Batman in it or a Batman pastiche with Lovecraftian monsters in it—or, for that matter, a non-pastiching story with both in it.
