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

It's so rare that I see BTAS, but that particular episode is one of
the few I've seen, and it really stuck in my memory. Almost all of
my respect for the cartoon comes from that one episode. There was true
pathos to Mr Freeze in that tale, a sense of tragedy that would transfer
well to the BGC universe. 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..."   

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.

	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. 
	 

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.
