Because MY LIFE WITH THE BATMAN is designed for games that play out to completion over the course of several sessions, some small adjustments are necessary if a group is to have a game that concludes in a single evening. Most importantly, don’t allow yourself to think that low values for Fear and Reason alone are going to produce a one session game. You need to start the minions with a few Love points. And forget any notions you might have of starting game events with with character-building scenes. You need to begin at the point where absolute breakdown of the social order has occurred. Start by framing individual scenes for the characters with the The Batman commanding each of them to take some kind of action against the Connections of one of the other minions. Have the The Batman order them to be murdered and such. There’s no time for anything else.
