I wasn't a big fan of his trick arrows; I was happy when he stopped and just used regular arrows.

 So looks like it is official.
I need a kickstarter for my Game funding. 
Rules are pretty rough, but doable. Please sir, may I have some more?

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

I despise the special interest group argument that DC needs to keep her in the chair to show that "handicapped people can be superheroes too." As Oracle, Babs was basically a high powered secretary -- NOT a superhero (unless you count comic adventures that occurred purely in virtual reality). If DC or anyone else was actually serious about depicting handicapped people as superheroes they would handle the topic with an A-lister rather than putting another B-list or lower female character "in a refrigerator" and pretending the result is poignant. That's WTF.
The problem is that Babs was a bland Mary Sue put in as a tv show tie-in who only became an interesting character after Ostrander wrote her into Oracle in Suicide Squad. The new 52 throws one great Batgirl and one half-decent Batgirl under the bus so Babs can go back to being a bland Mary Sue.
The new Batgirl comic somehow managed to be the worst comic of the New 52 in a line that had two different comics written and drawn by Rob Liefeld.

Can I stop you here? We have a whole thread for comic book discussions. There, I even linked it for you and quoted your last post, so we can pick up the discussion there.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

It is confusing, or maybe just different. Here is how I interpret them:
For each Attack Counter ( AC), you can use it to make an Impact Roll.
For each Impact Roll, if you roll higher than your opponent's Defense you get to make a Damage Roll.
For each Damage Roll, if you roll higher than your own Strength you inflict Damage.
In 40k terms:
Attack Counters = # of attacks
Impact Roll = roll To Hit
Damage Roll = roll To Wound

Ok, so just so I can understand this..using batmans card as its the only one spoiled...
Batmans willpower is 8, so I get 8 six sided dice and I can put them on his move,defense,special, and attack bars.
I give him 3 on attack. I can spend all 3 to make 3 attack rolls.
If fighting another Batman, I need 5s as that is batmans defense. Lets say I get all 5s
I then roll and because his strength is a 3+, I need just 3 or higher and I wound batman.
If blocking, lets say the other batman had 3 defense dice in his DC pool. I could spend them all and I would need 5s to block because batmans attack value is 5?

Great, ill try my local guy and if he cant get it in ill take you up on that, cheers!
Still looking through the rules. I think you could play a few basic games easily enough and then scale it up with attributes and advanced rules. The scenery will have to be scratch built i guess. Still, i may be able to talk the missus into playing this one Automatically Appended Next Post: Possibly the worst crime discovered yet....

Yeah, looks like you got the jist of it. Just note, I think you block the Impact hits not the Damage.

Deathstroke? Sweet! Nice to see that they're including other DC charakters, but no one who could potentially beat every other charakter in the blink on an eye like Superman.

Maybe we should open a thread in another section to avoid filling the news thread with rules discussions.

So do the stat cards come with the models for the game? Or is that spoiled elsewhere. Id like to be able to see what their stats are/ abilities so I can decide what I might want to buy

Comes with the models from what I can tell. If you skim through the Special Traits book you can infer which characters get what traits. But nothing on base stats.
