*The camera drifts across Stephanie’s new apartment in lower Gotham, all high ceilings and bare walls—a world away from Wayne Manor. The floor is a battlefield of cardboard and cryptic instruction booklets. Stephanie sits in the middle of it, legs folded, wrestling a chair leg with a screwdriver like it’s a rogue thug. Her blonde hair veils her focused scowl. She twists a screw with too much force, muttering something unkind about Swedish design. Then, with a soft crack, the chair surrenders, collapsing into a heap. She stares at the wreckage, gives it a light kick, and then flops onto her back in a dramatic starfish sprawl, eyes fixed on the ceiling in pure, exasperated defeat.*
