=================================
Bubblegum Crisis - Frozen Knights
A BGC/Batman:The Animated Series
           crossover
=================================

Freeze is a tragic figure. Hero, villain,
neither truly describe what he is. Neither should. That fits,

IMO, with

the Sabers, even if, in your tale, he is forced to work against

them.

	Total aggreement here, BTAS took what was quite possibly one of

the

most unforviably campy and out of place villians and gave him both

an

origin and a current existence almost TOO worthy of the series.

Batman

summed up the whole affair quite nicely with his comments as he

watched

the video of the preFreeze, screaming and reaching out to his

warming

wife, as she was being snatched out of the deep freeze that

sustained

her... "My God!" To say nothing of Christopher Loyd's(I'm not sure

if it

was him but I'm almost postive) own statements while watching the
ballerina dance in her snow dome... "This is how I'll always

remember

you, forever beautiful..."   

	There are 2 "l"'s in Lloyd.

	Mr. Freeze already has a type of hardsuit, so it gives him a fair
chance against the Knight Sabers.

But I beg of you, if you are convinced into doing this story...

don't

have Batman, or any of his heirs, in it. Somehow, I think having

a

(necesarily tech upgraded) Batman in this story would ruin it. An

old

Wayne, perhaps, but an active Batman? It seems wrong.

	The Batman Comic currently suffers from one thing..
	LACK OF AGE, the SAME Bruce Wayne from the first comic is still
around and only in his thirties.  While I haven't been reading the
Batman Comic, I read Knightfall, and he still looked in his thirties
and was still fighting crime up until Bane cracked his spine across
his knee.

	Here I dissagree. Batman, as both character and comic suffers from

much

of the same problems Anime does. It long since stopped being a

simple

comic and spread into a multitude of genres each with their own

merit.

Stii, all anyone ever remembers is BOFF! POW! BAM! Even the movie

is

taking that turn, going from Go-Go dancers of the seventies to the

MTV

generation of today. Remember what Frank Miller (writer of The Dark
Knight Returns) said... "Here you have a character you can describe

in a

few simple words, he's parents were murdered in a violent crime, he
spends the rest of his life waring on crime. He looks great and his
concept and design is so simple that it's open to an unlimited

amout of

interpretations." 
	Hmmmm, dead parents, a hopeless feeling dealing with pain and not

being

able to doing anything about it. Finally recreating yourself into a
persona that was anything BUT helpless. Sounds like HALF the Knight
Sabers. All in all, it depends on how you wanna play it. This IS
MegaToyko and not Gotham so if you don't have any plans on using

him,

DON'T. It'll just turn into a mess. If you do however, don't be

afraid,

make him or her or it work for your POV on the story and the events
therein. 

	If you focus more on Bruce Wayne than Batman, you could get some
great emotion from him.  Even make the story a bit more riveting.
DON'T just use Batman as a way to foil Freeze's crimes and then have
him disappear afterwards into the mist.
	

Besides, this'd finally mean that there'd be someone around to

make

Sylia seem emotion-filled...
Write it. That is my suggestion. 

	Mine as well.

	Ditto.
