it legit doesnt matter what the list is, if it has to do with batman the joker is always number one on it. Really bugs me

[@johnathandolenz8426]

Because the Joker is Batman’s greatest enemy. An evil psychopath in the guise of a happy smiling clown against a rich playboy crime fighter in the guise of a haunting creature of the night. The extremes of their realities and personalities is epic.

[@grahamcann1761]

One of my favorite Batman's secret discovery, (though he didn't really,) comes from the early days. (60's, early 70's?) And it goes something like this: Some guy buys a mansion, discovers the secret passage behind the clock, the stairway leading down into a cave. Figures out the cave once houseed a car, a boat, and an airplane. Then contacts the former resident and informs him that he knows his secret! That's right, Oliver Queen is Batman... I loved that story. Another favorite story was a back-up story in Batman or Detective comics. (Which I've mentioned before. Sorry.) Bruce Wayne takes a group of boys camping, and as the boys sit around the campfire they tell Batman stories. (He's black. He's an alien. He's part bat. He's a robot. You get the idea.) In the end, out of the darkness springs Batman! "You want to know what Batman looks like..." To which the boys generally reply, "Nice try Mr. Wayne, good night." As always, thank you so very much for your video.

[@roseprevost8081]

What about Ras Al Ghul?

[@tygrkhat4087]

@@inpavidus_r4gn4r20 In the original Ras al-Ghul stories, he discovered Batman's identity by following the money. All the equipment bought for the Batcave was paid for by Bruce Wayne.

[@argentskies3794]

You forgot alfred

[@beirirangu]

I also remember the time Batman says that it's possible for someone to sneak into the batcave by hanging on to the side of the bat-wind (or bat-boat, I forget which) , and maneuver themselves past all the sensors, a fact that Robin denies is possible, only to cut to Bruce Wane in Arkham, trying to talk to the Joker, only for the Joker to actively ignore him, like he only wants to talk to his alter-ego... but at least that's what I remember from the scene

[@amanzeihedioha]

[@thisjustincomics]

I kinda liked the Batman Hush film. Not nearly as good as the source material but at least it wasn’t as bad as Killing Joke

[@jamesewing809]

Can't wait to see Hush. I really liked the Killing Joke. Well at least, more specifically, the second half. The first half was just pretty meh and was just there as filler because it's a short comic.

[@alexandersmith7061]

It’s one of the better DC Animated films

[@arizonamadegamer9994]

I gotta disagree with you on that. Hush was a big let down in my book. They shouldn't have made it a continuation of the past films.

[@thisjustincomics]

ArizonaMadeGamer I think I was expecting a total shitshow after the major disappointment that was Killing Joke. I skipped the first shittier half and I still didn’t like it, mainly because it had no identity. Comic is awesome tho.

[@CChrist-mh4mk]

It was so much better than the source material. The comic was one of the worst mysteries in comic book history.

[@paulajablonka9258]

What about Batgirl (all of them) and Batwoman? No one's mentioned them yet, I suppose. Thomas Elliot, aka Hush, found out his identity... From the Riddler! That's a bunch more.

[@Mr.Man2214]

More like who doesn’t know his identity.

[@nicname3147]

[@MrThedoc182]

Bane is number 1, first major villain to do it and he was the first to declare bruce was the mask not batman

[@charlielee5906]

In most cartoons, batman and superman refer to each other by their names, all it really takes is for them to talk to each other in public and letting it slip

[@TheRezro]

Because issue is exaggerated. Most stuff in MCU operate on secret agency level, what for obvious reason wouldn't operate with people they don't know. Beside some narcissists like Iron Man, identity of most superheroes is still unknown to broad public.

[@Able871]

Another common sense way to figure out any secret identity “when you capture the hero TAKE OFF HIS/HER MASK”

[@TheGame-lo4mi]

The reason the riddler never told anybody is because Batman said he wouldn’t be special by knowing it anymore

[@BrianSmith-ez9kj]

All the Hugo Strange comments, and what's even more odd- one of the first clips in this video IS of Hugo Strange and the thought reading machine

Well...there are...back in the 90's DC and Marvel did crossovers, from what I remember Captain America was sent to protect Bruce Wayne in their crossover, in another he teams up with the hulk, in the Avengers/JLA crossover they have parties together on the watchtower. etc. etc.

Alfreds niece, Rahs al ghul, Superman, the owl (rich secret society that runs Gotham), TwoFace (in an old movie), Dr Freeze but because Batman reveals himself to save Gotham(also old movie). A small girl and a group of people being brought underground so he can train the next generation, this is all when he's old and fights superman subsequently faking his own death.
