The video cut into a fast-paced montage.
A documentary-style segment titled: "Behind the Scenes - Fan Life (Ver. 3)."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0SYNxnZ4h
At first, the Batfamily thought it might be some touching origin story or footage of survival in an alternate world.
Then a bold title flashed across the screen:
"Opening Day of The Batman - Movie Experience (Ver. 3)"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Md5xDpzs
Cut to:
Damian’s grandmother had rented out an entire IMAX theater.
No other audience. Just the five of them, seated in the third row center, each holding three bags of popcorn, fully geared up, emotions already running wild.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFVGW9DCbQ
Five minutes in.
The moment the battle-damaged Batwing appeared, Damian’s grandma stood up and shouted:
"BATTLE-DAMAGED BATWING! NICE!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8AnGBwkIm
A touching family scene?
She screamed:
"Quick! DC is giving us sugar! Eat it! Eat it now!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXgzjedd8V
Nightwing's wife clutched her head: "THE ANGST IS COMING. If they give us sugar, a knife is right behind it!"
Red Hood Mom was already sobbing: "So sweet… it's making my heart feel empty..."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ904EWwQwjk
Bruce turned to face the camera.
The entire theater exploded:
"AAAAAAHHHH HE TURNED HIS HEAD!!!"
"NO NO NO BRUCE NOT AGAIN!!"
"HOW DO WE SAVE MY HUSBAND AAAHHHH!!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDyukDzCMH
Then—Superman appeared, throwing a punch at Bruce.
Bella shrieked from her soul:
"DON'T HIT HIS FACE! HE MAKES A LIVING OFF THAT FACE!!!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOxnm8pSxL
Movie Bruce scolds Damian.
Damian’s grandma stood again and screamed: "FUCK BATMAN!" while flipping the international sign of disrespect.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseI9u6LQk9
Back in the Batcave, silence fell.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmoKDMewKh
Dick twitched at the corner of his mouth. Then, in muted horror:
"So... my wife three-peats every movie?"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHbIlYrHe5
Jason turned to Bruce: "Old man, do you even know how many times you've 'died again'? Maybe it's time to reevaluate your tactics."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnIydK2V6c
Tim covered his face: "I didn’t want to know they analyzed the golden ratio of your profile… but now I do… I know too much…"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdnhXEZuhI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HtXPbvRch
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEh6eJXEU
The video continued.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLxBQFga3F
The movie ended. The three fans slumped in their chairs like they’d been steamrolled by an emotional rollercoaster.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvVjtjk3Xu
Nightwing’s wife: "Do you think... I'd get sued if I mailed DC a knife?"
Red Hood Mom, cool as ice: "Yes."
Damian’s grandma, aura blazing: "Add silver needles. More cost-efficient."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ5vjHOK3J
Cut to black.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r7HENIKih
Then a photo appeared: the five girls posing in front of a life-size Batman figure outside the cinema.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcLSmaT8Se
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIQHUuM1PC
Later that evening, the five gathered in the living room.
When the cake came out, Nora thought it was someone’s birthday.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV72nUyRx5T
"BATMAN'S 100TH BIRTHDAY!" Bella declared solemnly, raising a sign: "Counting from his first comic issue, he's 100 today!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgRntayaVY
There was a real cake. A themed one. Black Bat-symbol right in the center. Seven candles, crooked and chaotic, but the mood was strangely reverent.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MWo0enLEV
They sang the full birthday song. Not a single note skipped.
Red Hood Mom filmed silently, serious-faced.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwshfAUfHa
Nora stared, slightly stunned.
They weren’t joking.
This wasn’t satire.
They were genuinely, sincerely, celebrating the birthday of a fictional character.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2b457L9wz
Alfred, watching from the doorway, shook his head: "Didn’t expect Master Bruce to be celebrating his centennial at such a young age."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyYV8Ytmfs
Dick collapsed laughing on the table.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgpX1VhPUT
Then Nightwing’s wife twisted the knife:
"Next year, it’ll be Dick’s 100th birthday~"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbCLgTTs2H
And just like that, "Dick at 100" became the biggest meme in the Batcave.
Someone even updated the Bat-comm system with the "Centennial Grandpa Squad" tag.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEtKHIcmmS
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHknEmtnU7
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLOYnxqTR
But just as the laughter peaked—
the soundtrack changed.
The visuals darkened.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjpAwv83qW
One by one, the Batfamily fell silent.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEKwosPtw
The footage of rowdy theater cheers gave way to somber orchestral tones and slow-motion shots.
The streets turned gray. The lighting dimmed.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FxPYNagIg
A news anchor’s voice, panicked:
"Confirmed case numbers continue to rise... an unidentified virus is spreading rapidly... please stay indoors..."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3SSEsXR6o
People on the screen became frantic.
Pushing. Running.
Familiar faces turned fearful and close.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidRrLgrck4
The video pressed on.
Death tolls climbed. Cities locked down.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdr0Kg08J5
Nora's father appeared on a phone call, hurriedly saying:
"The kindergarten's closed too. Stay safe, okay..."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG07GL5CSP
But on screen, the roads showed the first twisted-body attack.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVgjFCPOf
Then, the viewer entered Nora's school.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaIKHRV3jT
She sat in her uniform at the back of the class.
Sunlight streamed in diagonally.
It looked normal.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyeGjBQIY7
Classmates were chatting. The teacher was grading.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnPRlUoAYk
Then—
Footsteps in the hallway.
Heavy. Sticky. Wrong.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkx35roYdc
The teacher frowned and stood: "Everyone stay quiet. I’ll go check."
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtlMAcpujf
The door opened.
A scream burst through.
Beast-like. Like vocal cords tearing apart.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONEvlQ2uyG
Then silence.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrywS6N5mdi
The teacher never returned.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMby6kDrjS4
On screen, Nora staggered from the school.
She escaped through the back door, avoided the infected security guard, fell near the wall, then ran.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR4sQ1WHbp
The city was no longer calm.
Screams and crashing rose.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCyDRaqpGD
Cannibalism.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvyaxjw4M
She ran, terrified.
Overturned trucks. Blood on the walls.
A pristine city unraveling.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV3uyLz4nt
She ran.
She hid.
She made it to her home.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIngQpB3um
Her hands trembled as she jammed the key into the lock.
Twisting, almost crying.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntZZJK1a5F
The door opened.
She froze.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yMZzdDxQl
Blood. Everywhere.
On the floor. The walls. By the shoe rack. Down the hall.
Thick. Red. Chaotic.
Mixed with the sound of breaking furniture and half-stifled screams.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxr8U0aHBg
The smell of blood hit her like a beast lunging.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuQpWEcA6N
She stood there, stunned.
Lips quivering.
Her head rang, like the world was breaking apart inside her ears.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CjkmB2GjD
She made no sound.
But she looked like she was about to collapse.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBw3vqkm2M
This was her beginning.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMf1nrxMXg
《End of Bonus Chapter》
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGuC4Flf9T
This bonus chapter connects directly to my upcoming story Wasteland Rose. You're invited to follow Nora as she begins to bridge her past and her future.
Because Nora has lived through a profoundly lonely apocalypse, she carries a touch of madness that runs even deeper than most. When it comes to obsession, she’s every bit a match for Tim, the male lead.
Tim Drake—this particular Robin—is a character notoriously difficult to categorize. I’ve wracked my brain trying to find the right partner for him. But in this story, I hope to give him a relationship that isn’t so dark. Nora’s core is about protection—and she willingly chooses to stand beside Tim, helping him protect Gotham.
