[@dandrive3249]

My favorite time is in the Batman issue #1000 where the Penguins talks about he always knew Batman identity after a villains meeting to discuss who it is. In said meeting most of them almost piece it together until the Joker goes out of his way to make the idea of Bruce being Batman as extremely absurd. Which is one of the more subtle ways he’s protected his identity.

[@Crow_Rising]

It's kinda funny because it's not even a difficult argument to make for a sane person. The whole idea that Bruce Wayne of all people is Batman is rather ridiculous when you think about it from the perspective of someone who would be living in Gotham, knowing only what ordinary people would know about him. The only thing that would be a potential link to Batman would be the fact that Bruce is rich, but he's hardly the only rich person in Gotham. Bruce is also a big money donor, but other than that he doesn't really come off as the heroic type and certainly doesn't seem like someone who would win a lot of fist fights. There's also the fact that Batman doesn't even necessarily need to be rich, he just needs a source of funding. It wouldn't be an unfair assumption for a citizen of Gotham to make that Batman is government funded, especially when Batman is working together with the police. This only further eliminates Bruce Wayne from the suspect pool. Literally the only reason why we in the real world see Batman's identity as Bruce Wayne as obvious is because we view his world through his eyes, with his knowledge about his own secret identity.

​@@Crow_Risingyou've just reminded me of a series of Tumblr posts where people argued as if they were people in the DC universe trying to work it out.

[@daniel5913]

@@Crow_Rising Not really. Someone could look at Bruce Wayne and see they have the same body type and height as Batman. Bruce Wayne is 6'2" at 240 lbs according to Justice League cartoon so he's pretty athletic, muscular and isn't fat or old like a lot of rich people. Bruce Wayne has competed in race car driving so he could be seen as someone that could chase down criminals in a bat mobile everyday. Batman doesn't cover his mouth area so it can be deduced that he's a white male. Someone can take pictures of Bruce Wayne and Batman to compare their mouths like Bane did in Arkham Origins. Batman has been shot at multiple times by police as a vigilante starting out so it can be seen he's not funded by the government. If someone couldn't deduce that Bruce Wayne is Batman then they could at least figure that Wayne Enterprise is giving him gadgets, cars, jets, etc. funding him and that Bruce Wayne is at least connected to Batman. There's also the case of Batman leaving DNA somewhere like blood, sweat, etc. and villain or Police Department finding that DNA to see that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Overall, Bruce Wayne is a big candidate to be viewed as possibly being Batman in that world cause he's rich and could afford all of Batman's expensive jets, cars, gadgets, etc., is a white male and that they have the same body type.

[@nameless_moon]

​@@daniel5913I have some ideas of a Batman that would be extremely hard to find out. That guy wear Batman Beyond suit (both comic and Arkham knight version are OK) as Batman. Both suits are strong as hell, and cover his mouth, so the mouths and DNA problems are all gone. (Comic ver is fucked up by author's inconsistency tho. One panel, it can withstand rocket without a single scratch, but on another, it got cut by a normal knife, and got damaged by Bane's venom users.) He hides or fakes his real body shape as his civilian *personas* . One of his identities obviously is a rich dude. Yeah, Moon Knight reference.

Moral of the story: If Joker hears that someone knows Batman’s identity, he will do anything to keep it a secret as he will either beat them or kill them.

[@mrheroprimes]

In the Batman cartoon when Batman and Robin took down Wrath and Scorn They attempted to tell Joker they knew Batman's secret identity but he was having none of it he just threw a gastronaid into the back of the police fan and hit them both with laughing toxin before shouting to the Dark Knight "destroying you is my game and I won't have anyone stealing my fun."

[@Fawkes2574]

How could you leave out Batman Arkham Knight? At the end of the Harley mission at Panessa Studios, the mental echo of Joker inside Bruce's mind is showing him (and the player/audience) what happened with Jason Todd, which is supposed to be the big hint of the huge plot twist that everyone saw coming. When Joker has shown that he has essentially flipped Jason, he asks him what is Batman's secret identity is. And just as Jason is about to reveal it, Joker "shoots him dead" saying "I always hate a tattle tale."

[@harveypravia]

"Chill of the Night" is probably the most underrated Batman story ever written. Batman finally confronting the man who ruined his life and revealing him that he created with his egoistical acts the monster that got rid of Gotham's evil is simply EPIC

[@petethelman957]

it was also great to see the dynamic between the Spectre and Phantom Stranger. Spectre wants Batman to kill Joe Chill while PS wants to choose justice. But even tho Batman spares Chill. The Spectre still made sure Chill died at the end so in a way. It was the Spectre who protected Batman's identity. Tho Joker still played a hand in it because thanks Joker causing the building to collapse. It helped the Spectre made it look like it was an accident.

[@bigdexmedia5233]

I think this is why I like the Joker. Even though he is Batman's greatest arch-nemesis, he goes to great lengths to make sure that absolutely nobody ever comes close to uncovering his favorite hero's identity as it would ruin their interaction and the dynamic energy they share. I love it so much.

I would also like to add that Joker's whole relationship with Batman's identity changes as The Batman series progresses; early on, there's an episode where the Riddler challenges Penguin and Joker to defeat and unmask Batman for the privilege of controlling the city, which Joker is totally on board with. But by the time we reach the episode mentioned in this video, the dynamic has changed so much that he's willing to take down other villains in order to preserve Batman's secret. I find that fascinating, and SO in character for him.

There's probably a bit of professional courtesy involved. Every time batman fights a new villain, one of the first things he goes for is investigating/revealing the foe's true identity. There's no reason to believe he made any exception for Joker, and in some comic strips it's been noted that he knew Joker's true identity within weeks of encountering him.

The Dark Reflection trope is one of my favorite hero tropes, Wrath and Scorn are Dark Reflections of Batman and Robin, as are Owl Man and Talon. It's on my favorite list because it shows just how easy it could have been for the hero to go down the path of being a villain. And as for a suggestion regarding something different, it could be interesting to have a list of characters from comics, pop culture, and the like that inspired and influenced the incarnations of heroes like Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the like. For example, the Phantom is a surprising influence on the aesthetic for Batman and Spider-Man. The Phantom is a masked hero created by Lee Falk back in 1938, and is actually the earliest known case of a masked character having white in the eye section of the mask to help hide their identity, an aesthetic that was lifted directly to Batman, Spider-Man, and host of other well-known comic book characters; ironically, the Phantom is actually pretty obscure stateside, but he's really popular over in India and parts of Africa, he even had limited runs in Marvel and DC publications at one point, and one of the Marvel runs was even turned into an animated series back in the 1990s, The Phantom 2040, but the rights to the Phantom currently not with any of the big names in the US, last I checked. Amusingly, around the same time the animated series was airing, The Phantom also got a live-action movie with Billy Zane in the title role.

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

The Batman series is the most underrated Batman show ever known. The voice actor for Joker in the show is incredible and perfectly encapsulates Jokers overall personality. In the show he does way more twisted things then simple mind-bending. He traumatizes the people of Gotham regularly with the most articulate schemes. One time he created a Card gadget that trapped people in life-size playing cards. The only thing they could do in that state was witness their coming demise. Another time he used a Joker Puddy solution to transform detective Bennit into Clayface, not before subjecting him to hours of psychological torture of course. His Joker gas rather then outright kill someone actually just puts them in an unending coma where all their body can do is look forward and smile.

The weird part, NO ONE KNOWS JOKERS REAL NAME & PAST, NOT EVEN BATMAN.... Strange that is the one mystery that can never be solved by THE WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE. An insane supervillain is created with unique skills in psychosis, weapons, chemistry, bio chemistry, biology, & beyond skills in tactical planning and no one knows his origin, and he specifically targets Batman. ???WHY???

[@ShyBiiteVT]

I feel you left out another Brave and the Bold episode. In the episode where he gained Batmite's reality warping powers and captured Batman with them, Harley asked if he was gonna take of his mask and learn Batman's true identity. To which he expressed disappointment and asked "where's the fun in that".

Batman is perfectly saying I am perfectly fine

Joker Has Always Been Seen As A Somewhat Crazy Fun-loving Man-child In Whatever Serious Situations He Get His Ass Involved In.

[@YuckFouTubeX]

It makes good sense, The Joker sees the Batman as HIS PLAYTHING, and will do anything to keep the games going... Going as far as being really nice to Batman every so often It's more and more of a violent bromance than a real war between the two, and it's kinda nice

[@ericgonzalez934]

think a very old batman story explains that joker always knew whom batman was, but he explains that "killing Bruce Wayne was too easy since he was just a man, that he could just walk up to the door , ring the bell and shoot him right there " - but killing batman now that was different

[@elliotgandersen]

What if the Joker tortured the Robins because they knew the identity of the Batman, and either out of jealousy, or preservation of the knowledge, he hurts them?

[@CrasherX2000]

I still find it insane that the Joker not only became Mayor in the Harley Quinn show, but actually arrested Bruce Wayne for tax evasion

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

8:05 *Unpopular opinion:* I prefer the Damian Wayne of TBATB far more than his comic-book counterpart. In find his personality and personal conflicts much more interesting and tolerable than the annoying brat. Besides, I think a son of Batman should be of Catwoman, not Talia's

[@dylpiel2501]

I think heath ledger joker knew who batman was with the line "the way you through yourself after her, i thought you were dent but no " implying he figured it was bruce instead

[@andyq524]

I'm surprised Arkham Knight didn't make the list. He did it twice in the game. First in video he sent to Bruce of Jason. He asked Jason who Batman was, and right as he's about to tell him, Joker shoots and seemingly kills Jason. Next is at the end of the game when Scarecrow demands Batman unmask to save Robin and Gordon. The figment of Joker in Bruce's begs him not to do it.

[@Jordanpaardekooper2002]

In batman arkham knight Joker asks jason what batman's name is but before jason could say anything the joker stops jason from telling by shooting him it is the last jason moment at the movie studio joker says he never liked spoilers

[@spacedude9487]

Yes new vid love your vids

[@thejerk8530]

Ah joker got that will smith energy "Keep my batman identity out your freaking mouth"

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

There's no regret of finding out about Batman's true identity from the Joker in Return of the Joker. He only said it was anticlimactic. Plus in the BTAS episode "Trials", he and the other villains attempt to move his mask to find out who he really is and that also goes to the Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne with Two-Face and the Penguin so there's no standards. I'm sure that in the DCAU, Joker would tell everyone who Batman really is eventually after finding out and fulfilling his plans.

"Where's my electric car BRUCE?"

[@animemanXLK]

There's also a flashback scene in Batman Arkham Knight were Joker has been torturing a Jason Todd(Who Batz thought was dead) for weeks on end to the point were he's so broken he nearly reveals Batman's identity just because Joker asked only to be seemingly shot dead by Joker himself who says he hates taddletales.

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

In Batman TAS Mad Love he also protected Batman's identity (well, sort of). Harley Quinn had him dangling head-down from a chain and the Joker punched her out of a window, basically because he couldn't live with being the boyfriend to the woman who killed Batman. Of course he then tried to kill Batman himself, but he never revealed the Bat's identity. But I personally think the times the Riddler actually protected Batman's identity are better. The Joker does it because he doesn't want the world to know, most of the time. The Riddler does it because he genuinely doesn't want to know, because "what good is a riddle when you know the answer".

Wonderful video!

[@miguelmejia-holguin8799]

Have you ever thought of doing a Lantern Corps video centered around the X-Men?

[@shawbag11]

The best joker might be the dark knight one but i honestly think the tell tail joker is the best telling of his backstory. i mean in that game you get to see him turn into the joker and its your falt if you let it happen. i dont think any other batman show or game has done it as well as that did.

[@MaxWeb2599]

In chill of the night it's hintet that not the fight per se caused the building to fall right on top of chill and more the interference of Spectre.

[@residentevilplayer877]

Great video.

[@TRAPichi200]

There was also the deadly duo, a story that literally consisted of joker working with batman so he could destroy evidence of Batman’s identity that was written by the person forcing them to work together. what’s cool about it is that you wouldn’t know about it until the end of the story where joker gives Batman a call letting him know he got rid of all the evidence of his identity and that he himself didn’t even look at it cuz it would ruin their fun.

[@NeedleMouseProductions]

don't think I've read that one, I'll have to give it a look in, thanks for adding it though

[@user-tk7ib8cq4v]

I have video idea “What Lantern Core should each alternate Spider-Man be in”

[@CosmicGoku529]

Think he did that video 4 years ago.
