A/N from now on the story will be 3rd person omniscient. In bold will be what's happening in the movie or show, the regular will be what the characters watching are doing and thinking. I will be skipping ahead to the parts I want to show. For example, I'm going to start with the two guys in Batman 1989 talking about "the Bat". Obviously, spoilers.

"Let's beat it man, I don't like being up here" said one of them men with a hint of unease.

"What are you afraid of heights?" asked his friend annoyed.

"I don't know. After what happened to Johnny Gobs..."

"Look Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk of a roof, okay? No big loss".

"No man. That ain't what I heard at all. I heard that the Bat got him"

The Bat? Thought Bruce. He didn't like bats.

"The Bat? Gimme a break will you?" asked the man rolling his eyes.

"He fell five stories, there wasn't no blood in the body".

"No shit. It was all over the pavement" .

"By the way, sorry Bruce, but you'll be seeing a lot of bats" said CrystalQueen.

"Huh?" asked Bruce.

"What are you talking about?" asked Jim.

"Well when Bruce was a kid he used to be scarred of bats. They never really said anything about it on the show, so I assumed they still creep him out a little. So I thought I'd apologize" explained CrystalQueen after pausing the movie.

Alfred could confirmed that story. He thought back to Bruce's younger days with nostalgia. The poor kid had lived in a manor on top of a bunch of caves infested with them. He then wondered why there would be so many bats in the movie. Perhaps the villain of the original movie was a vampire or a bat monster of some sort?

"I can manage!" said Bruce angrily. "Did you have to tell everyone in the room and the readers that?" He asked, his face slightly red.

"It's a common enough fact that I'm sure almost 95% of the readers already knew that and all the other characters would've eventually found out through watching everything" said CrystalQueen. Bruce turned back to the screen. "Sorry" she said as she unpaused the movie. She hadn't meant to upset him. It shouldn't have been a surprise that Bruce had found it embarrassing. He was still a teenager after all.

"I'm getting out of here man" said the first man as he grabbed something.

Bruce noticed a giant bat land silently on something behind the men. Well, giant bat was clearly a guy in a suit, but 1980s special effects, he figured. He wasn't sure if anyone else saw it, but it was there first viewing so it would be fair if they didn't catch it.

"Listen here" said the second man. "There ain't no bat" he insisted.

The first man thought for a moment. "We shouldn't have turned the gun on that kid" he said finally.

Oh you shouldn't have thought Bruce.

"You want your cut of this money or not?" asked the second man. "Now shut up. Shut up!"

Then the two men heard something. They looked up to see the bat creature spread it's wings. Then ran as the bat jumped down toward them.

"Well, I've seen everything now!" said Harvey.

It's not the special effects Bruce realized. That's supposed to look like a guy in a suit. Or at the very least like it's part man!

The men fired three shots at the bat. He fell down. It looked like they'd got him, but he rose again. The bat lowered his wings and kicked one of the men through a door while the other ran away.

CrystalQueen smiled at the part cheering, part scared, and part totally silent audience.

Bruce, while not visually reacting much, was rooting for the bat-human-thing and cheered when the dude got kicked through the door. Those two criminals definitely deserved it. It didn't even look like they were in danger of dying. Maybe, this bat-man-thing or whatever it was wasn't the bad guy?

The bat shot a bat shaped grappling hook at the other man.

I used a grappling hook when I was a vigilante thought Bruce. Could it...Is that, is that me? wondered Bruce. No, no, it couldn't be. Could it?

Jim was unsure wether he was supposed to be rooting for or against the bat. He was beating up very bad people and not even seriously injuring them. But he wasn't a cop, he didn't even look like a human. Why was whatever it was going out and scaring people?

Penguin had no idea what to think and he didn't care. He just sat there and enjoyed it like it was any other movie. A movie that he had no idea what it was.

That bat dragged the man to the edge of the rooftop. In fear of being thrown off he pleaded "Don't kill me, don't kill me man. Please don't kill me"

Bruce, even though he hated that guy, didn't think he deserved to die. Then he remembered Ra's Al Guhl, and the vow he'd broken, and wondered if it was hypocritical to say the bat shouldn't kill that guy.

"I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor" said the bat.

Chills went through the audience.

"Oooh" said Selina. She smirked. Now this was getting good. She'd probably like this movie.

Bruce noticed how human the voice of the bat-thing sounded.

The Riddler honestly wasn't sure Why he was shaking so much.

The CrystalQueen grabbed Bruce's wrist and squeezed it. She was sure excited about something.

"I want you to tell all your friends about me" said the bat.

"What are you?" asked the scared man.

The pulled them closer together so that they were face to face. "I'm Batman"

Bruce couldn't move. Then, a smile grew on his face somehow.

"Bat-man...what?" whispered Alfred to himself.

Nearly everyone else in the audience was equally confused. Bat-man was a very strange term to them.

CrystalQueen leaned toward Bruce. She thought about rephrasing his catchphrase, but decided it wouldn't work. Instead she just whispered "What did I tell you? You're not just any fictional character. You're Batman".

Bruce's eyes lit up like Christmas lights.
