The video cut into a fast-paced montage.
A documentary-style segment titled: "Behind the Scenes - Fan Life (Ver. 3)."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAIZnS2kKRJd
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)"
59Please respect copyright.PENANA8fFCfRC0QS
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3AMa9mXUHf
Five minutes in.
The moment the battle-damaged Batwing appeared, Damian’s grandma stood up and shouted:
"BATTLE-DAMAGED BATWING! NICE!"
59Please respect copyright.PENANAg0pcc0QMLz
A touching family scene?
She screamed:
"Quick! DC is giving us sugar! Eat it! Eat it now!"
59Please respect copyright.PENANAVtSOilTGUU
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..."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAfbPVgaEF6z
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!!"
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6IdxyHwXEa
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!!!"
59Please respect copyright.PENANAinSqg9nYqi
Movie Bruce scolds Damian.
Damian’s grandma stood again and screamed: "FUCK BATMAN!" while flipping the international sign of disrespect.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjW4ZRNGpxx
Back in the Batcave, silence fell.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAtBMlFGLoe2
Dick twitched at the corner of his mouth. Then, in muted horror:
"So... my wife three-peats every movie?"
59Please respect copyright.PENANARzJ8jsPkU9
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."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAC6RQSAJuS4
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…"
59Please respect copyright.PENANAUi3vu56rjA
59Please respect copyright.PENANAJXN9f8H3tq
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYY1drpKaU1
The video continued.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6H0yhenTfc
The movie ended. The three fans slumped in their chairs like they’d been steamrolled by an emotional rollercoaster.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAi55vw7xMdG
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."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkgBCupt6Jg
Cut to black.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZPCGUUw0sJ
Then a photo appeared: the five girls posing in front of a life-size Batman figure outside the cinema.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAG0OV6mrAOJ
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzBrz07mNOy
Later that evening, the five gathered in the living room.
When the cake came out, Nora thought it was someone’s birthday.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAgmm9ylD7qy
"BATMAN'S 100TH BIRTHDAY!" Bella declared solemnly, raising a sign: "Counting from his first comic issue, he's 100 today!"
59Please respect copyright.PENANATK3X7Gjinb
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdSHAOiChpC
They sang the full birthday song. Not a single note skipped.
Red Hood Mom filmed silently, serious-faced.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAeGKzruwNya
Nora stared, slightly stunned.
They weren’t joking.
This wasn’t satire.
They were genuinely, sincerely, celebrating the birthday of a fictional character.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAIlzGzHvqlg
Alfred, watching from the doorway, shook his head: "Didn’t expect Master Bruce to be celebrating his centennial at such a young age."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAaCeFK0ljOK
Dick collapsed laughing on the table.
59Please respect copyright.PENANARrxUGAlBwg
Then Nightwing’s wife twisted the knife:
"Next year, it’ll be Dick’s 100th birthday~"
59Please respect copyright.PENANAx26VCW4Zqj
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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAZ723l0rmnv
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjNPPeZednd
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6Al9ysIBm3
But just as the laughter peaked—
the soundtrack changed.
The visuals darkened.
59Please respect copyright.PENANApSXPwE8rfv
One by one, the Batfamily fell silent.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAWmRVw5s9uR
The footage of rowdy theater cheers gave way to somber orchestral tones and slow-motion shots.
The streets turned gray. The lighting dimmed.
59Please respect copyright.PENANABf2XZcp06H
A news anchor’s voice, panicked:
"Confirmed case numbers continue to rise... an unidentified virus is spreading rapidly... please stay indoors..."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAWL8avS8bFw
People on the screen became frantic.
Pushing. Running.
Familiar faces turned fearful and close.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAbsWaTxKidh
The video pressed on.
Death tolls climbed. Cities locked down.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAKLwrvIcGsD
Nora's father appeared on a phone call, hurriedly saying:
"The kindergarten's closed too. Stay safe, okay..."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAhLSibLc9Vg
But on screen, the roads showed the first twisted-body attack.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAMEVnZAvpsX
Then, the viewer entered Nora's school.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAMpVi0C7Uw0
She sat in her uniform at the back of the class.
Sunlight streamed in diagonally.
It looked normal.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAiXxMgnWTZQ
Classmates were chatting. The teacher was grading.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAb0Kqxwvzvx
Then—
Footsteps in the hallway.
Heavy. Sticky. Wrong.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdKuhp2pNqT
The teacher frowned and stood: "Everyone stay quiet. I’ll go check."
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZZazQ8RfcM
The door opened.
A scream burst through.
Beast-like. Like vocal cords tearing apart.
59Please respect copyright.PENANADWpa9BFmrO
Then silence.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAcnr3jwQcMC
The teacher never returned.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAWAekNpQLwk
On screen, Nora staggered from the school.
She escaped through the back door, avoided the infected security guard, fell near the wall, then ran.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzCKJPiAZYL
The city was no longer calm.
Screams and crashing rose.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAi0qn0voMtj
Cannibalism.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAxwkydWJZJs
She ran, terrified.
Overturned trucks. Blood on the walls.
A pristine city unraveling.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnTerN6QdYE
She ran.
She hid.
She made it to her home.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAVTnA51FxV
Her hands trembled as she jammed the key into the lock.
Twisting, almost crying.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA64owaRLkgu
The door opened.
She froze.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAQaNde4MVgZ
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANASOc05xfZHr
The smell of blood hit her like a beast lunging.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXi3NtCyjIp
She stood there, stunned.
Lips quivering.
Her head rang, like the world was breaking apart inside her ears.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3T5K6TtzJc
She made no sound.
But she looked like she was about to collapse.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAW75PUyXYTU
This was her beginning.
59Please respect copyright.PENANATG6kt6xpB9
《End of Bonus Chapter》
59Please respect copyright.PENANAu8zG3PJSMD
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.
