As I'm not familar with the universe or TV show, it's hard for me to say how original this idea is in terms of the fandom. In terms of RPGs, the idea of characters being wiped off the earth when they leave a city is pretty new to me and could lead to some interesting roleplaying.

It is a nice clean layout which uses shades of black, white and grey without being too stark. The only comment I would like to make is the hover over used for mini profiles. Unless you hover over an avatar you can't immediately see the name of the poster and who is a staff member, which can make it a bit confusing. I'd suggest changing the set up slightly to have the rank viewable at all times.

I found everything pretty easy, however, character profiles are restricted to members only. I understand why some RPGs prefer this but I'd suggest having one or two examples made public so people can get a feel for the game.

Easy to find, easy to follow even if you're not familar with the specific universe. The additional "rules" regarding when/what/how has happened to your character aren't stifling but rather informative and useful.

There isn't a lot, but that isn't a negative aspect. Information about the RPG is concise and in useful formats such as a census, a time line and lists of canon characters from the DC universe. As someone not that familar with the DC universe I do find myself wondering about character abilities, powers, and limitations though.

There is a guest friendly board along with a note encouraging people to ask any questions. The staff team reply promptly to these questions and are friendly, honest and welcoming.

A detailed character profile complete with a 500-1000 word writing sample is required. The template is completed by an applicant and posted for staff approval.
