What is Brimverse?
"Brim" is the shortened version of Bruce/Jim. Brimverse is an alternate universe to Christopher Nolan's AU of the Batman universe. The "Brim" universe is centric to the pairing of Bruce Wayne/James Gordon (comics). This AU will eventually lead to the pairing being a "couple," "together," or whatever word you would like to use.

Characters
Below is a table of characters we know from Christopher Nolan's Batman AU that are already canon. If you want to add a character, please talk it over with the moderators.

There are NO "Mary Sues" allowed. OC's (original characters) are okay, but they must be minor. They are allowed in the table below.

You may also bring in other characters from comic books, other Batman movies, cartoons, etc., but they must have with them a realistic approach to the Brimverse AU, much like Christopher Nolan has done with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (film). This means you can bring in a character like Mister Freeze, but you must give him a NEW background story that is far more believable than his comic canon.

All newly added characters must have an actor attached for easier understanding of age and description of character, and so that if someone else chooses to use this character in his or her story, he or she will know what the character looks like, how old the character is, and so forth. Birthdate must be added to the new character's mini bio as well.
