"Alright, I think you all deserve a break to discuss our adventures so far. If you go through that door, there is a cinema snack bar for you to get some food and a few bathrooms, I gotta get something prepared for the next adventure" Bat-Mite snapped his fingers and the theater door opened up for them to leave, meanwhile he had to hold in his laughter before disappearing, the students were a bit worried about what he could be up to.
Walking out they see a somewhat standard movie reception, with a snack bar and bathrooms as promised. But also some corridors that were blocked off with tape and signs saying 'under construction' with the exception of one, the Museum which the students went to see while the teachers stayed in the reception.
"Do you think we can get out of here while he's not looking and try to figure out where we are?" All Might asked, considering the imp was no longer in the theater, maybe they could find an escape route from wherever Bat-Mite trapped them in.
"I doubt that" Aizawa said bluntly, the imp was an idiot but he seemed to want them to stay in here for as long as possible to watch... How many of these Batman adventures he wants, the hero was doubtful that wherever they were was even in Japan. Nothing guaranties they would even be in their own universe, from how the imp talk about his powers they could be in a pocket dimension of his own making
"I see... Let's hope we aren't missing anything important, being absent in times like this could cause a lot of problems" the number one hero mumbles to himself, but the feeling was shared with Aizawa
Meanwhile, the group of students that got to the museum found themselves in a corridor full of statues for the heroes and villains they met so far. They were so life-like it was surprising, each with a different pose that demonstrated their personalities to some extent.
"Woah, this is like walking around in a wax museum" Ojiro comments as they look at the statue of Batman who was standing tall holding a similar pose to the one he did in the opening theme, only this time he didn't have the dramatic lightning strike and was instead being illuminated by a lamp above his head.
"Tell me about" Mina responded as she had shivers from the way the Joker statue was presenting himself, creepily smiling while extending his hand out where a joy buzzer was in, a plaque below the statue warned to not shake the hand of the clown prince of crime.
Kaminari jokingly shook his hand,
Joker's creepy laughter came out from the statue and the student was surprised to be actually electrocuted by the small toy, thankfully his quirk made it be less painful than it would otherwise be for his fellow students.
"What the hell?" Bakugou commented as the shocks stopped, Denki looked fine... Until they saw his face
"I think his brain got fried" Tsuyu comments as Denki gave a thumbs up while looking at the floor with a dumb look, seems the shock gave him a short circuit.
"That is a dangerous hazard! Why would that imp place such a thing for anyone to see? Kaminari could have been fried alive! And why didn't you listen to the warning!" Iida began to furiously swipe the air and tried to make sure no one else tried to touch the statue, in fact he didn't want them to touch anything else in the exhibit.
After that commotion, Hagakure and Jirou observed the Robin statue as he struck a swinging pose while using a rope, like when they swing through the city in 'Christmas with the Joker' but it also displayed his name below as it reads "Dick Grayson, the Boy Wonder"
"He's kind of cute" Hagakure comments, seeing him up close have her a better idea of how handsome Robin was.
"I 'wonder' how he came to be Batman's sidekick, doubt it was through an agency" Jirou said since the world that Bat-Mite showed them so far doesn't resemble much of their own, so how Robin came to be part of this crime fighting duo was still a mystery for them.
Uraraka and Todoroki looked at the Alfred statue, which had the butter holding a silver platter up while having a piece of cloth hanging on his other arm. His face had a very plain and disinterested look, but the raised eyebrow gave him a bit of personality.
"Wonder what it is like growing up with a butler, how do you think he got to work for Bruce" Ochako asked the cold classmate, her family never had the income to even think of hiring a personal butler, made her wonder how much Bruce payed him
"Maybe he was always the family butler, but what I'm curious about is how he convinced Alfred to help in his crusade" Todoroki replied, pondering if Alfred shared Bruce's desire to help the city.
"I think Bat-Mite will tell us that, he seems to wait around for us to ask questions just for him to show his knowledge" the girl replied as she was certain their host would be waiting for them to ask 'who is that' just to give them a info dump
Koda and Momo were looking at the Man-Bat statue, which came accompanied by one of Langstrom taking the formula with an optimistic look, likely to contrast the monstrous expression of the monster he turned himself in. Which had a terrifying pose, almost like he was jumping from the display to attack and they almost wonder if there is a string holding the villain up in the air.
"I feel bad for him" Koda shyly said as the whole Leather Wings adventure was kind of like watching a horror movie, not to mention how scared he was when seeing the Man-Bat transformation on screen, it looked so painful...
"We can only hope he will never take that formula ever again" she said as the way Kirk became addicted to the formula and caused the Man-Bat side of him to learn the chemicals to bring itself out was a scary thought, it made her wonder if Man-Bat was really bestial and animalistic or could in fact have a personality resembling a human's despite how aggressive the monster was.
Mineta, Kirishima and Shouji were looking at the statues of Harvey Bullock and Commissioner Gordon. They had a small chat about how both represented different types of cops, one is dedicated while the other is lazy, one rushes to conclusions while the other thinks things through. Gordon was a good example of what a cop and hero should be while Bullock represented a more incompetent officer, who wants to do the right thing but isn't very good at it.
"Maybe he will get better later on" Kirishima said, hopeful that Bullock would learn from his mistakes after Batman saved his life
"It will be hard, Bullock seems pretty set on his way" Shouji replied
"Hey, what is this one?" Mineta pointed at another statue that was covered up, this caught the attention of the other students who were surprised to see it, was the fact it was covered up meant they had yet to see the adventure this person comes from?
Iida tried to tell the others not to touch it in any way, shape or form. But Bakugou simply rolled his eyes as he took off the cover, revealing a rotund man with fancy clothes and supporting himself onto a umbrella while his other hand holds a large cigarette. The most unusual detail of this figure was the really large noise he had along with hands more reminiscing of flippers, this brought some confusion to the class as they wondered who he was, Izuku noted his name plate called him 'Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin'
"Huh, wonder what this guy's deal is?" Kirishima asked as he leaned his hand into the name plate
"I assume he's another villain" Ojiro comments as the Penguin doesn't sound like a nickname he would pick out of his own.
"Seems he has some form of mutation, his hands look like flippers to me" Mina said as everyone observed the statue, this may be the first time they saw a person with any type of mutation from this Batman universe, Langstrom had an artificial transformation quirk but Penguin seems to be more natural
"Attention people! Get back to the central door for the next screening of epic Batman adventures!" Bat-Mite's voice echoed through the entire theater like it was coming out of a microphone, soon the students went there as instructed. Once there the doors opened for the heroes to take their seats, some had grabbed a snack or two from the main lobby before entering
"Hello, my dear audience of wannabe heroes! Look who I brought to watch Batman with us" Bat-Mite signalled to their left where the students and teachers are meet by the league of villains, causing all of them to get on a tense fighting position while the villains looked disinterested in the whole thing with the exception of one, Shigaraki tried to attack them but was physically unable to, his own body contorting in such way to stop him from moving forward
"Argh!" The villain let out a grunt of pain as he tried to force himself into grabbing the neck of even a single student, seeing this opportunity Bakugou tried to attack but was stopped by an invisible wall
"What did I tell you about attacking your fellow watchers?" Bat-Mite said with the slightest hint of insult over them forgetting this rule, granted he told that to the villains before bringing them, but he still didn't want the heroes to do the same right now
"Screw you... Urgh!" Shigaraki's entire body began walking back in a contorted way, which was a bit unsettling for the heroes but the villain didn't deserve any of their sympathy
"You brought the league of villains here!?" Izuku and most of his classmates screamed at the interdimesional imp for doing such a reckless thing, Aizawa was already giving him a glare that could kill with All Might not too different
"More like kidnapped, we didn't even get a say in the matter" Toga clarified as the entire league was chilling doing their own thing until the weird imp came in, he took them away into some trippy space to given them a bunch of rules to follow, them were so powerless to fight the bizarre thing it honest felt otherworldly.
"Why would you do this?" Mineta screamed in complete shock, he was sure the fanboy imp was fucking with them now, he turned this whole thing into a dangerously cruel prank.
"Batman has some of the best villains of all time so I thought why not show them too? They can bring a different perspective on the matter" Bat-Mite tried to justify why he brought these people here, since the villains would absolutely love how much complexity was given to Batman's outstanding rogue's gallery
"B-but they are dangerous! They attacked us!" Hagakure spoke out as bringing villains into the whole thing was pushing it a bit too far now, felt like the imp wasn't even aware of the danger they could cause
"Relax, inside this place I have complete control. They don't even have their offensive capabilities, I have strapped away from their quirks to anything that could cause problems. Besides they can't do anything with the intention to harm or kill, otherwise they'll have the same thing dry lips over there are having" Bat-Mite tried to assure the heroes by demonstrating just how much power he had on Shigaraki, snapping his finger and turning him into a puppet or simply turning the villain into a stone statue. This somewhat helps, but serves to show the villains and heroes that someone like Bat-Mite shouldn't really have this much power, with a snap Shigaraki returns to normal but feels incredibly uncomfortable for a moment.
"Now sit back and relax, as we go to see a great adventure of the caped crusader!" He exclaimed and reluctantly, both sides put aside their differences to watch the next adventure considering how odd the circumstances are and the maniac running this whole thing was far above them in power
[Author's notes]
Follow and favorite to support the fanfic, comments are heavily appreciated and help the creative process.
Since the fic is inspired by the one made by Kiddo and many others, I want to make my own theater be a little different and more unique, that will be shown in future intermissions.
Which would be a good episode to introduce Penguin that isn't Batman in my basement? Because I am not watching that episode no matter, it is one of the few I can't tolerate from how bad it is, boring and the only important thing is the Penguin's debut.
