Now that I have caught up with the topic, I see some new revelations that are most intruiging. It seems we have a few options. I will post them all.
1) Allow all versions of a character as RPCs, such as TDK Batman, Injustice Superman, Noir Spider-Man, and MCU Nick Fury. The Prime characters are the in-general summary of a character, such as the ones claimed so far.
2) Ban all alternate versions, including those listed above. Only allow the singular characters who can change between the alternate versions at will.
3) Ban them altogether and keep only the primary versions.
4) Ban the alternatives that are essentially the same as the primaries, such as TDK Batman and MCU Iron Man, but allow alternate realities, such as Noir Spider-Man and Injustice Superman. Note: Alternate RPCs would be approved and released for claiming by the RCC, to keep out identical copies of the primary RPC.
So just vote 1, 2, 3, or 4. If you have another opinion, please state it ASAP.
Also, the Amalgam Characters are nowhere near OP. They are simply combos of two characters. Also,OP is irrelevant. If a character has ever been defeated, then he is not OP and cannot be banned from the RP. So there.
I vote 4, it makes the most sense. It might cause some debates over what is and isn’t the same character, but I imagine those will be easy to resolve.
*Reads "I imagine those will be easy to resolve" and swallows* Oh boy.

I know i'm really late, but I vote 4 as long as we can define what "essentially the same" is.
That's just like saying that 'regular' Bruce Wayne is different to Earth-3 Bruce Wayne (who is dead), Flashpoint Bruce Wayne (who is dead), Bruce Wayne '66, TDK Bruce Wayne, Bruce Wayne TAS, Bruce Wayne (The Batman), Earth-1 Bruce Wayne, Earth-2 Bruce Wayne, Year One Bruce Wayne, Arkham Asylum Bruce Wayne, Earth-X Bruce Wayne or any other interpretation of Bruce Wayne. As you said LEGO Batman is the interpretation of Batman in a LEGO universe, therefore, he is the same character and same rpc unless multiverse versions are allowed as separate rpcs.
The LEGO Movie Universe has not been acknowledged by DC, so he is different.
Okay, guys, thanks for voting, you've all been great about this! I apreciate that, obviously.
So, here's the pole as of 1/25/18:

All four For:

I didn't vote because I don't believe in politics.
Well, the majority seems to go for four, and I honestly think it is the best idea on here. So, if there are no objections or major shifts in the poll by Monday, this rule will be official.

TDK, Earth-2, and LEGO Batman are all essentially the same, while MCU Captain America and Cowboy Captain America aren't.

I think the main problem is going to be evil counterparts of other heroes. For example, Injustice Superman is the same as Superman but has a different allegiance, so is he a different character?
