DE: Would you sign this for me?

[bjornwilde]

Is there someone famous your pup would really like to meet? What about from Milliways? Are they keeping their eye out for that favorite person they've read about or watched?

Tron. No question. When Enzo met Quorra and found out that Tron, or a version of him (it's impossible to be sure), is alive in her world, his first question was whether she could obtain his signature file.

[kd7sov]

Kain would like to meet his father. Who happens to have been fairly famous, but that's basically irrelevant.

Not sure there's anyone for my others.

[sdelmonte]

I don't think any of my pups spend time watching for famous people. It's counterproductive. However...

Kirk would love to meet Lincoln. Not an alien pretending to be Lincoln. (And not the clone from Clone High.) But the real thing. Anyone want to app Daniel Day Lewis? He also would love to meet any Mercury Seven or Apollo astronauts.

Knox wants to meet Woodward and Bernstein. Which he doesn't actually need to come to the Bar to do, since both are still alive today and one is still at the Washington Post. But any famous reporter might do.

[dontcallmechief]

How does he feel about editors?

(Timelines are weird.)

[sdelmonte]

We have a Perry White now? Cool!

Editors have to work hard to impress him. Ben Bradlee gets points for letting the Watergate stories run. And Perry White is something of a legend, but mainly because of how Lois talks about him. (In case you don't know, I play the Burton Batman and Donner Superman films as being in the same weird timeline. So Knox and Lois are buds of a sort.)

[nocarename]

Not apped yet. Just tinkering with him so far.

Planned continuity is mainly the 1940s cartoon with a little of the contemporary radio dramas on the side.

Where do you place Gotham? The cartoon replaces NYC with Metropolis, but DC moves their cities around like nobodies business.

[sdelmonte]

Since the Donner films (and Singer's sequel) plunk Metropolis down more or less over NYC as well, I do the same. (Knox is forever telling people that he never heard of New York till he got to the bar.) Gotham is somewhere in New Jersey. Given that there is a lot of coastline between NYC and the end of the state, there is a lot of space for it. My best guess would be about halfway between NYC and Atlantic City, a relatively short drive to Metropolis but far enough away to be its own entity.

[daringyoungman]

OMG, moving the cities.

I keep making a list of the differences between our cartoon and the comics, and the placement of Gotham is a big one.

[damncompass]

Joshua would love to sit down with Newton or Einstein and talk physics. He's also half-wishing Rheticus would appear in the bar, so they could discuss the Compass and why the shit everything went wrong. Ironically, he'd also like to sit down with HG Wells and talk time travel and planes of existance.... *shifty*

Helena has met a lot of the people she'd like to meet, frankly, but if given the chance, I think she'd love to meet any famous inventor of her past. Eli Whitney, maybe.

[innerbrat]

Would Leonardo da Vinci do?

(ERIC.)

[damncompass]

Oooh. Very possibly. :D

[alas_a_llama]

Ahahahahahahaha.

(CONSIDER IT DONE.)

[bjornwilde]

Okay, finally taking half a second herre to answer my own question...

Ben has likely met anyone from his own canon/world he's wanted to. He was the Wolverine (as far as guest appearances) of the 80s and 90s. As to Milliways? Well, I think he'd love to meet Xena.

Val has met Tesla, well a Tesla, but I think she'd love to meet Adda Lovelace, Madame Curie or Hypatia of Alexandria.

I am sure Hank would love to meet a hero of some early Sci Fi novel, perhaps John Carter or an Asimov character. In his world, he'd love to meet Einstein or someone big in aerodynamics. Someday I'll have some research done for him. *shameface*

[timelessinventor]

Well, we do have an early sci-fi -author- in the bar... *shifty*

[no_more_hiding]

I don't mean to contradict you but wouldn't that be sci-fi author and inventor?

To translate, this would be awesome.

[timelessinventor]

Yes, yes. It would. Helena is -very- much an inventor as much as an author. (Also, recognizing her (of a sort, I mean, half of the first episode that she was in was 'HG Wells in a woman?!') is more than fine. She loves fans.)

[no_more_hiding]

Obviously this must happen. = ]

[a1enzo]

Oh, man, if Ada Lovelace were there to meet... I know sprites don't have religion in the human sense, but Enzo might have to make a small offering or something regardless.

(I decided ages ago that "Charles and Ada!" is an exclamation of shock among sprites, but only those with Irish accents.)

[gavin62truck]

Tommy would love to meet Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Derek Jeter -- Yankees greats from before his time, his childhood, and present day. They're the only people who I think Tommy would truly be starstruck with and go into full fanboy mode.

Batman is his favorite superhero, but the one that's most resonant with him is the 1960s TV and comics versions that he grew up with. I'm pretty sure he's aware of the darker movie versions (seriously, you could NOT miss the Bat-fad of '89 if you tried), but I think he stopped reading comics when he discovered girls. Still, he's a big fan.

[daringyoungman]

So would he rather meet Robin or Dick Grayson, you think?

[gavin62truck]

Hmm! Not sure, but there's probably potential for either one, although the moment anybody says Gotham or Bruce Wayne, there'd be instant recognition.

[innerbrat]

We-ll, I don't want Dick to know Robin going to be a thing yet, and I don't want Robin to know that people know his name yet, so as long as he doesn't say "oh, Dick Grayson is Robin!" to either of the, it's all good :)

[fairy_fixit]

Well, Fairy Fixit here promised to bring back some memorabilia from Milliways for some of her friends back in Zanaris. Specifically, Raspberry Beret's autograph if she can manage it.

A work friend is a huge Tentacles of Our Waves fan. :P

[mnt_mike]

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
I could totally see Mike using time travel to head to the San Diego Comic Con the year Turtles made it big, or even the 1992 Turtle Con that was held in Portsmouth, NH. Just...because it'd be funny.

He keeps his eyes peeled on the front door for some of his favorite comic characters to show up, so he can add their signatures to his collection.

Raph would either say Bruce Lee or some obscure baseball character that even I can't think of. Oooor possibly one of the Beaters from the Falmouth Falcons. It's his favorite quidditch team.

Adult Aang would say his grandchildren, because...he's like that. Or his next incarnation. That might be cool.

Bumi I'm sure there's some musician he's particularly fond of. Or maybe Shin Shinobi.

Ida's always had a thing for Robert Redford and/or Sean Connery.

[cameoflage]

Aradia really wants to meet an incarnation of Death/the Grim Reaper. She was disappointed to find out that Manny Calavera was just a travel agent of the dead.

[hey35andholding]

Clem: Cher. Jayne Mansfield. Marilyn.

Dixie: Jenny Lynde, for sure.

Pinkie: Kinda knows Princess Celestia. She doesn't get terribly star-stuck.

Juliet: Rob Lowe? This has never been a plot point.
