In MY LIFE WITH THE BATMAN, the desired outcome of minion creation is player characters already strongly positioned at the start of gameplay to be interesting to the other players. It is the energy produced by squeezing and releasing these audience interests over the course of multiple scenes that fuels the game’s emotional intensity. And so it is recommended that, like The Batman creation, player minion making also occur as a face-to-face group activity. Each player then has the benefit of tone of voice, and body language from the other players as they present their character notions conversationally, share and accept input, and work to produce a minion character whose issues are well exposed and whose struggles during play will keep everyone else on the edge of their seats.
