Backstory...

Years ago during the GOLDEN AGE of heroism, a group of government agents, law enforcement officers, and costumed vigilantes banded together to create the JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA, to keep their nation safe from the insidious influences of the Nazis and Communism. After decades of fighting against organised crime, fifth columnists, and an assortment of magical and malevolent foes, a TRAGIC INCIDENT forced most of the Justice Society into retirement or hiding.

Some of America's heroes remained active, establishing the autonomous clandestine agency CHECKMATE to keep the nation safe from continued danger. Across the nation, small pockets of villainy and vigilantism have persisted, most notably in the crime-infested city of GOTHAM.

It was not until the arrival of KAL-EL OF KRYPTON however that a new era of heroes began, led by SUPERMAN and his JUSTICE LEAGUE. New superheroes, vigilantes, and villains become active every day, which has forced the government to create the DEPARTMENT OF EXTRANORMAL OPERATIONS, which publicly investigates the actions of such individuals, in parallel with (and sometimes in opposition to) Checkmate. Seeking to equip itself with the technology needed to keep the world safe, Checkmate has acquired QUEEN CONSOLIDATED, which has begun conducting secret and often morally dubious R&D at various facilities throughout Gotham. With crime in the city on the rise, BATMAN has joined forces with the OUTSIDERS to aid the GCPD in keeping crime at bay.

Roleplay

The DC Comics setting on TheHolo.net draws inspiration from comics, television, movies, and original ideas. Some characters are similar to well-known portrayals, while others are completely different. Currently, most of the roleplay focus is centred on Gotham City, with storylines explaining why characters like Supergirl, Green Lantern, and Kid Flash are not in their usual locations.

Anyone is welcome to tell their stories within our continuity, but new players should be mindful of the existing characters and ongoing storylines that are already in play.
