So, we have Mafia, we havery Werewolf, and while I considered just doing my own rules to Werewolf to encompass more roles, I thought why not do a new variant with a Comic Theme.

Obviously Joker/Mistah J is a Serial Killer, and Harley Quinn is a Psychologist trying to find him to convert him to a decent person... except thematically he converts her, so perhaps an additional rule that if he attacks her before she finds him, instead of killing her, she is instead converted into a 2nd Serial Killer.

The Question is a unique investigator type role that instead of finding out who is on what side, s/he chooses two people and finds out if they are on the same side or different sides each night.

Deadman is powerless UNTIL he dies, then each night he can possess someone and chose to either use their ability or keep them from using their ability.

The Creeper is an investigator role that finds out the faction of the people he investigates, but if he is attacked by the Serial Killer he doesn't die, but loses his Investigator Ability and gains a Vigilante attack ability. (Immune to Serial Killer caused deaths, killable by execution an other kill roles)

Solomon Grundy can not be killed, but dies automatically after 6 days, can kill starting the 2nd night, must choose a bride who is protected from harm by him on the 3rd day, loses kill power after 4th night, can't protect bride after 5th night. (Bride is not protected from changes, only harm/death, so Harley would still become a Serial Killer if attacked by Joker if she was Grundy's bride. Deadman can stop Grundy's kill power, not his protect and immune to harm power)

Wonder Woman can either protect someone at night or use her lasso on someone to force them to speak only the truth and answer all questions asked of them the next day. Wonder Woman counts as protecting herself when she is protecting someone else.

Wonder Girl is the same as Wonder Woman, except her lasso only works for one question, and she can't protect the same person on two consecutive nights.

Two-Face every night they choose someone and call heads or tails, if they win the flip they kill their target, if they lose the flip they protect their target.

Amana Waller chooses someone every night to join Task Force X, if they are a Villain they join and lose any killing abilities they have, if they are a hero they fight back, Waller can't use her power the following night, and all Task Force X members are freed from their service. Joker is immune to Waller, Harley comes back to Task Force X when Waller regains her power.

This is a work in progress, feedback, added ideas/suggestions are welcome.

I would gladly join this if you turn it into an actual game.

You should put some bold BBCode to make reading easier. Also, who is in each party?

---

Joker is his own Party, he wins if he and Harley remain.

Harley counts as good unless converted by Joker first, or recruited to Task Force X

Waller wins as Task Force X when Joker is Dead and all living Villains are in Task Force X, otherwise she counts as Good except to Question who sees Task Force X as its own Neutral Faction.

Deadman is good

The Creeper is Good.

Solomon Grundy is Evil

Wonder Woman is Good

Wonder Girl is Evil

Two-Face is Evil.

Alfredo Pennyworth knows who all Bat Family Members are (Bat Family Members are all good), all Bat Family Members know who Alfredo is, Bat Family Members don'the know who each other are unless otherwise stated.

Bat Family Members:

Batman can protect one person each night entirely from the Joker (even Harley or The Creeper from changing) and Two-Face, but no more than two consecutive nights in a row.

Red Robin knows who Batman is in addition to Alfred. If Batman dies, Red Robin gains Batman's protect from Joker ability.

Nightwing knows who Oracle is in addition to Alfred, and can investigate people to learn if they are also Bat Family.

Oracle can investigate roles, but if she investigates Joker he finds out.

Damian knows who Nightwing is in addition to Alfred and can kill non-Bat Family Members until Nightwing investigates him or Batman protects him. If both Batman, Nightwing, and Alfred are all killed, Damian loses his Bat Family Status and counts as Evil, but still can't kill Bat Family Members

Spoiler knows who the Villains are in addition to Alfred.

--------

Added non-Bat Family ideas

Riddler knows who everyone is, he counts as Evil unless he attacked by Damian or investigated by Oracle, in which case he convertsto good. If he dies, he may leave behind a bunch of riddles to hint at who is who (Riddles have to be reviewed by 'Comic Writer'/Narrator)

---

Are you actually putting all the roles into a game? That would be a ton of people to start a round.

---

More roles means more options, but would depend on how many people signed up.

Idea for here is to just come up with ideas for roles, then figure out who would be in all games, who would be options in smaller games, and who would be for larger games only (Grundy seems larger games only, but is a fun yet unique role)
