The video cut into a fast-paced montage.
A documentary-style segment titled: "Behind the Scenes - Fan Life (Ver. 3)."
86Please respect copyright.PENANA0591gPwLXZ
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)"
86Please respect copyright.PENANALIB6oVOrVk
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA61huAAnTuP
Five minutes in.
The moment the battle-damaged Batwing appeared, Damian’s grandma stood up and shouted:
"BATTLE-DAMAGED BATWING! NICE!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAgkUXsBGfQG
A touching family scene?
She screamed:
"Quick! DC is giving us sugar! Eat it! Eat it now!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAnncCYT8RUI
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..."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAH85xJIi1pS
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!!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAqAQhBsVea1
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!!!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAQSy6pNjAEh
Movie Bruce scolds Damian.
Damian’s grandma stood again and screamed: "FUCK BATMAN!" while flipping the international sign of disrespect.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAtksjWTnfNQ
Back in the Batcave, silence fell.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA29mGgqbCeX
Dick twitched at the corner of his mouth. Then, in muted horror:
"So... my wife three-peats every movie?"
86Please respect copyright.PENANASTqYprHoRt
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."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAxHCF17WqQX
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…"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAcL0iuIGbVi
86Please respect copyright.PENANAaOHafECsPx
86Please respect copyright.PENANA4e8XJY6yES
The video continued.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAk12aT9uaOx
The movie ended. The three fans slumped in their chairs like they’d been steamrolled by an emotional rollercoaster.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAK7eE59h1rs
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."
86Please respect copyright.PENANA3KufHyFJyG
Cut to black.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAB6tIL4QmJ9
Then a photo appeared: the five girls posing in front of a life-size Batman figure outside the cinema.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAAfnAq4GcWx
86Please respect copyright.PENANAMghWJXWn5Z
Later that evening, the five gathered in the living room.
When the cake came out, Nora thought it was someone’s birthday.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAXSnUQXliaG
"BATMAN'S 100TH BIRTHDAY!" Bella declared solemnly, raising a sign: "Counting from his first comic issue, he's 100 today!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAnMCr4zckfX
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA0hI4oUrSgv
They sang the full birthday song. Not a single note skipped.
Red Hood Mom filmed silently, serious-faced.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAVxoznek18D
Nora stared, slightly stunned.
They weren’t joking.
This wasn’t satire.
They were genuinely, sincerely, celebrating the birthday of a fictional character.
86Please respect copyright.PENANALGPQZBqVIl
Alfred, watching from the doorway, shook his head: "Didn’t expect Master Bruce to be celebrating his centennial at such a young age."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAEyGugBxNrc
Dick collapsed laughing on the table.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAlr5y2cHZUB
Then Nightwing’s wife twisted the knife:
"Next year, it’ll be Dick’s 100th birthday~"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAlxjql9l5mg
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.86Please respect copyright.PENANAoDHz0Liaga
86Please respect copyright.PENANADBeox0HlLt
86Please respect copyright.PENANA75Nlm3b2aO
But just as the laughter peaked—
the soundtrack changed.
The visuals darkened.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1HZGJcEWW9
One by one, the Batfamily fell silent.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAlDq39JXQ0f
The footage of rowdy theater cheers gave way to somber orchestral tones and slow-motion shots.
The streets turned gray. The lighting dimmed.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA7JA1SXxfbc
A news anchor’s voice, panicked:
"Confirmed case numbers continue to rise... an unidentified virus is spreading rapidly... please stay indoors..."
86Please respect copyright.PENANApZTJ25THTu
People on the screen became frantic.
Pushing. Running.
Familiar faces turned fearful and close.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAba8q77ywB6
The video pressed on.
Death tolls climbed. Cities locked down.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAtWe9CG9GfG
Nora's father appeared on a phone call, hurriedly saying:
"The kindergarten's closed too. Stay safe, okay..."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAteGe0DWr7l
But on screen, the roads showed the first twisted-body attack.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Glzuibfz
Then, the viewer entered Nora's school.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAltb49tXIot
She sat in her uniform at the back of the class.
Sunlight streamed in diagonally.
It looked normal.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAXApsU3rAgi
Classmates were chatting. The teacher was grading.
86Please respect copyright.PENANADfOZ4rGprA
Then—
Footsteps in the hallway.
Heavy. Sticky. Wrong.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA4vvCpoQ838
The teacher frowned and stood: "Everyone stay quiet. I’ll go check."
86Please respect copyright.PENANArOmNuSx0jh
The door opened.
A scream burst through.
Beast-like. Like vocal cords tearing apart.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAFxwWeoBeAt
Then silence.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAkyfktjT6mZ
The teacher never returned.
86Please respect copyright.PENANABJh2CmHVTW
On screen, Nora staggered from the school.
She escaped through the back door, avoided the infected security guard, fell near the wall, then ran.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAGdIvD1IO8v
The city was no longer calm.
Screams and crashing rose.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA95KsWLdVL7
Cannibalism.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAF6aJ4zjRu1
She ran, terrified.
Overturned trucks. Blood on the walls.
A pristine city unraveling.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAOzr4HamGTf
She ran.
She hid.
She made it to her home.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAZaXJKFJ77t
Her hands trembled as she jammed the key into the lock.
Twisting, almost crying.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA83hwPot4Cf
The door opened.
She froze.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAn1OnvWDNKH
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAd7h2o5Pb3U
The smell of blood hit her like a beast lunging.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAUzV5CzwLJX
She stood there, stunned.
Lips quivering.
Her head rang, like the world was breaking apart inside her ears.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAJOOkwntp3G
She made no sound.
But she looked like she was about to collapse.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAhj6t9SEKdJ
This was her beginning.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAiFjQEx0fzR
《End of Bonus Chapter》
86Please respect copyright.PENANA81xZtfQrej
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.
