The video cut into a fast-paced montage.
A documentary-style segment titled: "Behind the Scenes - Fan Life (Ver. 3)."
88Please respect copyright.PENANAKoGfEA5WET
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)"
88Please respect copyright.PENANABCfz8hEeBV
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.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAbxg8JpPEdw
Five minutes in.
The moment the battle-damaged Batwing appeared, Damian’s grandma stood up and shouted:
"BATTLE-DAMAGED BATWING! NICE!"
88Please respect copyright.PENANAgFSLgeVVvK
A touching family scene?
She screamed:
"Quick! DC is giving us sugar! Eat it! Eat it now!"
88Please respect copyright.PENANAIM390K2hIU
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..."
88Please respect copyright.PENANAwXl0vqRGVB
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!!"
88Please respect copyright.PENANAmrca3wHQBg
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!!!"
88Please respect copyright.PENANAWvG9KioeN5
Movie Bruce scolds Damian.
Damian’s grandma stood again and screamed: "FUCK BATMAN!" while flipping the international sign of disrespect.
88Please respect copyright.PENANACTTRz3xB2t
Back in the Batcave, silence fell.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAmt78oNJaFc
Dick twitched at the corner of his mouth. Then, in muted horror:
"So... my wife three-peats every movie?"
88Please respect copyright.PENANAAnaYdeYtzB
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."
88Please respect copyright.PENANAuvJ4AJ4bqS
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…"
88Please respect copyright.PENANAaXYXLUy1CI
88Please respect copyright.PENANAZFs0OCQE8d
88Please respect copyright.PENANANNNj0GEXHa
The video continued.
88Please respect copyright.PENANA362R198PDO
The movie ended. The three fans slumped in their chairs like they’d been steamrolled by an emotional rollercoaster.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAvjAWAtwNUx
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."
88Please respect copyright.PENANAa9XUlCu5Yv
Cut to black.
88Please respect copyright.PENANADZihpJH9Og
Then a photo appeared: the five girls posing in front of a life-size Batman figure outside the cinema.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAiOJUR6oggw
88Please respect copyright.PENANAqea8VjJYqo
Later that evening, the five gathered in the living room.
When the cake came out, Nora thought it was someone’s birthday.
88Please respect copyright.PENANABiz1BN5IFf
"BATMAN'S 100TH BIRTHDAY!" Bella declared solemnly, raising a sign: "Counting from his first comic issue, he's 100 today!"
88Please respect copyright.PENANAS3EhbkEfIb
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.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAPWXCUVW12b
They sang the full birthday song. Not a single note skipped.
Red Hood Mom filmed silently, serious-faced.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAAO4a3T8rJy
Nora stared, slightly stunned.
They weren’t joking.
This wasn’t satire.
They were genuinely, sincerely, celebrating the birthday of a fictional character.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAlCeGaTkFXu
Alfred, watching from the doorway, shook his head: "Didn’t expect Master Bruce to be celebrating his centennial at such a young age."
88Please respect copyright.PENANA17sZqTQ8TZ
Dick collapsed laughing on the table.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAQFifiu39Em
Then Nightwing’s wife twisted the knife:
"Next year, it’ll be Dick’s 100th birthday~"
88Please respect copyright.PENANA0m2aEg8c6r
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.88Please respect copyright.PENANA6ajqIkDKlT
88Please respect copyright.PENANADgppUR4vm5
88Please respect copyright.PENANAEx6BCOkAuS
But just as the laughter peaked—
the soundtrack changed.
The visuals darkened.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAGo586jxtTF
One by one, the Batfamily fell silent.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAPizfcWox6d
The footage of rowdy theater cheers gave way to somber orchestral tones and slow-motion shots.
The streets turned gray. The lighting dimmed.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAfnhYp9QmcO
A news anchor’s voice, panicked:
"Confirmed case numbers continue to rise... an unidentified virus is spreading rapidly... please stay indoors..."
88Please respect copyright.PENANAG1MogvPcPk
People on the screen became frantic.
Pushing. Running.
Familiar faces turned fearful and close.
88Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nkt6B5IEW
The video pressed on.
Death tolls climbed. Cities locked down.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAOArVRpHFfV
Nora's father appeared on a phone call, hurriedly saying:
"The kindergarten's closed too. Stay safe, okay..."
88Please respect copyright.PENANAc7yGcTzPzo
But on screen, the roads showed the first twisted-body attack.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAiUVVfjOVJJ
Then, the viewer entered Nora's school.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAohzqC6QyUx
She sat in her uniform at the back of the class.
Sunlight streamed in diagonally.
It looked normal.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAZz83Npsa89
Classmates were chatting. The teacher was grading.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAJJOIp2olzW
Then—
Footsteps in the hallway.
Heavy. Sticky. Wrong.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAVapRcngHDy
The teacher frowned and stood: "Everyone stay quiet. I’ll go check."
88Please respect copyright.PENANA4xRNmvu8fi
The door opened.
A scream burst through.
Beast-like. Like vocal cords tearing apart.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAYlOC2jLynU
Then silence.
88Please respect copyright.PENANATlPuzUdRs3
The teacher never returned.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAVPuBwrd6CQ
On screen, Nora staggered from the school.
She escaped through the back door, avoided the infected security guard, fell near the wall, then ran.
88Please respect copyright.PENANALozqVsPidD
The city was no longer calm.
Screams and crashing rose.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Zv4KwJVf
Cannibalism.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAbNSIadiD03
She ran, terrified.
Overturned trucks. Blood on the walls.
A pristine city unraveling.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAYB4jBGHx3y
She ran.
She hid.
She made it to her home.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAKbQCNtCWjO
Her hands trembled as she jammed the key into the lock.
Twisting, almost crying.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAD190QM7ECD
The door opened.
She froze.
88Please respect copyright.PENANA54wNNIm4Bx
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.
88Please respect copyright.PENANARtDrguE6Sr
The smell of blood hit her like a beast lunging.
88Please respect copyright.PENANA9nmAL1FxY9
She stood there, stunned.
Lips quivering.
Her head rang, like the world was breaking apart inside her ears.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAiJCKyhanwi
She made no sound.
But she looked like she was about to collapse.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAfPDRd9vHGk
This was her beginning.
88Please respect copyright.PENANAYJAjpr6oBa
《End of Bonus Chapter》
88Please respect copyright.PENANAhQji7sMuVf
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.
