The video cut into a fast-paced montage.
A documentary-style segment titled: "Behind the Scenes - Fan Life (Ver. 3)."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNIrJlF4GR
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)"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIwXqNjo8N
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7yw0GD5Ab
Five minutes in.
The moment the battle-damaged Batwing appeared, Damian’s grandma stood up and shouted:
"BATTLE-DAMAGED BATWING! NICE!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjR4iG4pzB
A touching family scene?
She screamed:
"Quick! DC is giving us sugar! Eat it! Eat it now!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8L0AHTF8B
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..."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7KVOiyymC
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!!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3nyhmftFy
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!!!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjNPtgTBcd
Movie Bruce scolds Damian.
Damian’s grandma stood again and screamed: "FUCK BATMAN!" while flipping the international sign of disrespect.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ293JJhIIj6
Back in the Batcave, silence fell.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2scg82Dgp
Dick twitched at the corner of his mouth. Then, in muted horror:
"So... my wife three-peats every movie?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEaSWCIUsY
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."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AVp2l4jd5
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…"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95eiOkWRxN
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn2azKM8kb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn7GKMIG0n
The video continued.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVHVqRlZEv
The movie ended. The three fans slumped in their chairs like they’d been steamrolled by an emotional rollercoaster.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeDWsLtEgL
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."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3IeR3fZkQ
Cut to black.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlT6UYSNF8
Then a photo appeared: the five girls posing in front of a life-size Batman figure outside the cinema.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUprIaqHXI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NxqKsXsL9
Later that evening, the five gathered in the living room.
When the cake came out, Nora thought it was someone’s birthday.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmUiPlijgm
"BATMAN'S 100TH BIRTHDAY!" Bella declared solemnly, raising a sign: "Counting from his first comic issue, he's 100 today!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09p0xrHIfw
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9mwn6H7Ul
They sang the full birthday song. Not a single note skipped.
Red Hood Mom filmed silently, serious-faced.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRi2kjEQUR
Nora stared, slightly stunned.
They weren’t joking.
This wasn’t satire.
They were genuinely, sincerely, celebrating the birthday of a fictional character.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0W3tLFmLY
Alfred, watching from the doorway, shook his head: "Didn’t expect Master Bruce to be celebrating his centennial at such a young age."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjlPF9Pb6Y
Dick collapsed laughing on the table.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFoYfUm7s1
Then Nightwing’s wife twisted the knife:
"Next year, it’ll be Dick’s 100th birthday~"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDoP3ncKzp
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh1MdNNvTy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3UWjyLAmQ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6lluiG889
But just as the laughter peaked—
the soundtrack changed.
The visuals darkened.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZusrT0bJi
One by one, the Batfamily fell silent.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiQFW6VC5l
The footage of rowdy theater cheers gave way to somber orchestral tones and slow-motion shots.
The streets turned gray. The lighting dimmed.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonol4lxA9G
A news anchor’s voice, panicked:
"Confirmed case numbers continue to rise... an unidentified virus is spreading rapidly... please stay indoors..."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ90j3SZnDr
People on the screen became frantic.
Pushing. Running.
Familiar faces turned fearful and close.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEahrG2vw2
The video pressed on.
Death tolls climbed. Cities locked down.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9tDTSF9jc
Nora's father appeared on a phone call, hurriedly saying:
"The kindergarten's closed too. Stay safe, okay..."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IBRuFWUlN
But on screen, the roads showed the first twisted-body attack.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8pbsFONxF
Then, the viewer entered Nora's school.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyHc3KeXvA
She sat in her uniform at the back of the class.
Sunlight streamed in diagonally.
It looked normal.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqUlRiOyrD
Classmates were chatting. The teacher was grading.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mEhCMCEe5
Then—
Footsteps in the hallway.
Heavy. Sticky. Wrong.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmLksKO1u3
The teacher frowned and stood: "Everyone stay quiet. I’ll go check."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaAPcngtSC
The door opened.
A scream burst through.
Beast-like. Like vocal cords tearing apart.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk188R8NPD
Then silence.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMtWK6NvJn
The teacher never returned.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddL8ZpDGG4
On screen, Nora staggered from the school.
She escaped through the back door, avoided the infected security guard, fell near the wall, then ran.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomgmYsGcJR
The city was no longer calm.
Screams and crashing rose.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bOsHSxIai
Cannibalism.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3wOL6CV1T
She ran, terrified.
Overturned trucks. Blood on the walls.
A pristine city unraveling.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4u2On8KmL
She ran.
She hid.
She made it to her home.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6gsC8fj6A
Her hands trembled as she jammed the key into the lock.
Twisting, almost crying.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ4YWPSSuB
The door opened.
She froze.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYi2JhkY0s
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn738lzeo6o
The smell of blood hit her like a beast lunging.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAziJl04qH
She stood there, stunned.
Lips quivering.
Her head rang, like the world was breaking apart inside her ears.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZbMpGysWx
She made no sound.
But she looked like she was about to collapse.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodhdbD9123
This was her beginning.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWQrztVcDB
《End of Bonus Chapter》
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnlCMvnWxO
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.
