[@connerthehonker9786]

There's a fan theory that states that the riddler actually refuses to believe it's Bruce Wayne, as he refuses to be wrong since he's a ego maniac, and he ruled it out a long time ago, most likely during the events of origins, I have no source and no evidence to back this up, this is coming straight from my memory, but if I find a source or any evidence to back this up I'll come back to this comment and add it.

[@meciocio]

​​@@connerthehonker9786i think you are referring to the idea that the Riddler always suspected Bruce Wayne the most for being Batman because it made the most sense to him, but his pride wouldn't let him think a snobby rich boy could outsmart his plans and riddles. And there is a line like that in this game by the Riddler where at the end of the game where Batman's identity becomes public Riddler still refuses to believe it.

To be fair, they were just discussing who was bankrolling Batman, not who Batman actually was. It’s easy to guess that Wayne Enterprises was funding the bat. But everyone would think that he was ex-spec ops that Bruce hired to do the deeds.

[@gourdguru]

@@coltonwilliams4153 yeah, i mean given bruce's playboy act, there's no real reason to assume it's him. the guys family died here, he left town for years, and now spends most of his days partying with models in a faux drunken stupor and thinking up new ways to break his leg "Skiing", from most people's judgment he has no loyalty to gotham, no higher ethics and no personal motivation/willpower. they'd likely assume he either doesn't know and it's being funded by someone on the board of directors etc., or they'd assume this was bruce's pet project, he got a wild hair up his butt and decided to bankroll an urban legend. even if they put two and two together about his motive for being batman stemming from his parents' murders, they'd likely assume that is his motive for PAYING batman, not that bruce IS batman. also, in the comics, they had the batman inc. story arc, where bruce literally admitted to bankrolling the batman for years as a limited test run, and then starts recruiting batmen to hold down other cities globally. he doesn't admit to being batman, but basically admits that the bat-family are effectively an official Wayne Enterprises funded private mercenary group.

[@jamesvach6698]

@@gourdguru I have heard that there have been one or two stories where Bruce has stated that he served as a financial backer of sorts to Batman. I wasn't sure if that was true but thank you for confirming it. I do appreciate that you point out why people would not automatically assume that Bruce was Batman. I think it is sometimes overlooked how much that persona plays a part in people's perceptions of him. Since they assume that the billionaire playboy is all that there is to see, they don't bother to look deeper. We see in this series alone people such as Penguin, Two-Face, and Hush who dismiss him as just being a spoiled rich boy despite his personal tragedy for one reason or another.

He's not wrong. It only takes a little common sense and research to determine Batman's identity, in spite of all the measures Bruce has taken to hide it. I mean, think about it. Whoever Batman could be, he likely lives in Gotham since that's where he mostly operates. He has to be in decent physical condition in order to spend his nights running around punching bad guys, and he needs to have plenty of cash to pay for all of his equipment. Finally, who else has the motivation to even do something as absurd as dressing up as a flying mouse and thrashing crooks while also fitting all the prior criteria? It's not rocket science.

[@dominikdickey1876]

​​@@masedaace5473 Also, think about this. After Bruce's parents died, he left Gotham for nearly a decade. He comes back, noticeably different than when he left, and Batman shows up not too long after. Add that on top of the fact that when the Bat-Signal is on, he suddenly has to drop whatever he's doing because "something's come up". This is something that happens on a suspiciously regular basis, and everyone thinks it's just a coincidence.

[@gourdguru]

@@masedaace5473 my favorite example of batman accounting for this scrutiny is jason todd. in the original continuity jason todd is a redhead, and bruce recruits him shortly after dick leaves. bruce recruits todd, a street kid about the right age with anger issues who tries to steel the hubcaps off the batmobile, on short notice, and then makes him use temporary hair dye to dye his hair black when in the robin suit to look more like dick. it's never spelled out directly, but it's heavily implied that bruce hadn't planned for dick to leave suddenly on bad terms, and needed a replacement robin so that both their identities would be protected when Dick left. it would be pretty obvious if the same week that bruce wayne's ward leaves town, robin goes MIA. likewise, if suddenly bruce wayne has a new redhead ward, and now robin is suddenly a ginger kid, that's also a problem for both batman and nightwing. so batman brought on jason because he thought he could help the kid and he also needed a robin body double(no one besides gordon, the league, and a few rogues like joker have interacted with robin enough to notice the difference), and jason's natural hair color was now a convenient piece of plausible deniability, shifting attention away from Bruce. if bruce wayne is batman then that means that teenager he's got living with him has to be robin, but when the old ward left robin was still around, and the new kid is a redhead so he isn't robin, therefore batman can't be bruce wayne.

[@solitarysurreal3652]

In this continuity, Hush must be feeling like a right twit. Thanks to his work in Arkham City, everyone assumed that Bruce Wayne was the Identity Thief. At least for a time. Instead of destroying Bruce Wayne's reputation, all Hush did was keep Batman's identity even more secret 😂 Otherwise people would have asked questions about how Wayne went into Arkham City and came out physically unscathed.

[@Boskov01]

Your theory is good but a bit flawed. Don't forget that they had no idea that Hush was even in Arkham City. Countless people were put in there. And it doesn't mention how Hush got out of Arkham City. We don't see him again until he struts into Wayne Tower as Bruce in Arkham Knight. Further, the unscathed part is flawed as Hush's "mask" was literally stitched together. If anyone asked why he could just point to the fact that Wayne had been thrown into Arkham City and people would think its the result of him getting beat up a lot on the inside. The cover was almost perfect. But where Hush went between City and Knight is unknown. A lot of time had passed between those points. Several months to a year or two. Finally, nobody knew who the identity thief was save for Batman.

[@solitarysurreal3652]

@@Boskov01 All very fair points. You are right, Hush's face mask was literally stitched together. But my point was that if Hush hadn't been in Arkham City, people would have wondered how the real Bruce Wayne wasn't injured during his time in the place. Instead, because Hush wanted to destroy Bruce Wayne, he impersonated him, leading anyone who saw him to believe (within Arkham City) that Bruce Wayne had gone off his head and become a serial killer. Nobody knew Hush was there. But everyone knew Bruce Wayne was. If Hush hadn't been in the equation, it would have been different. That's my point 🙂

Ah yes the three people in Arkham who deduced that Bruce Wayne is Batman Bane Arkham origins Hugo strange Arkham city Random thug #567 Arkham knight

[@CopeGaming129]

And those 5 penguin thugs in that alleyway in the beginning of Arkham City.(Assuming they aren't vegetables.)

[@cpman-zz8xz]

I think it’s in all-star Batman, where it opens with someone saying “I think Bruce Wayne is Batman”. And his friend basically goes “yeah idiot, we all know by now, but good luck proving it in court with his legal team”.

[@tahafawad426]

The only reason they didn’t reveal it is because he has a contingency plan for the entire human race

[@tristan_840]

Those two would solve any Riddler's puzzles just by having a casual conversation.

[@TarsonTalon]

I don't think the thug actually believed it, but it was just a funny thought to him. Unfortunately, REALITY IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!

[@Volvith]

Batman: "I don't kill." Thug: "Maybe he's Bruce Wayne." Batman: _"I don't kill often."_

[@barfo281]

they don't need to guess. In Arkham Origins, Bane called him "Mister Wayne" in front of everyone in Blackgate prison. And in Arkham City, Hugo Strange called him "Wayne" over the PA several times.

Strange is the only one who made sense. Riddler is a fucking idiot if he couldn't figure out Bruce is Batman. In retrospect it makes total sense there really aren't that many possible options as to who Batman is. Strange was right in his approach that he just "created a psychological profile of the person most likely to be Batman" and it would stand to reason that somebody like Bruce Wayne would fit that profile. Somebody with that rigid of a sense of justice has most likely gone through some kind of traumatic event and it is known what happened to Bruce's parents way back then. Also everybody has seen the things that Batman uses his jets and gadgets, like in Arkham Origins he flies around in a LITERAL PLANE, the Batwing. Literally how many people in the world can afford something like that? And not even the world, it's a fairly safe assumption that Batman lives in Gotham as he only fights crime IN GOTHAM. So out of all the people in Gotham there is only like probably one person if not just a handful, that have that kind of money none of the criminals have it and even if Batman isn't funding himself, they know that there is at least a very strong connection to Gotham's richest billionaire and Batman.

Thug: level 1 Thugs brain: maxed

[@nediAW]

tbf it's a pretty easy guess, it's just almost impossible to prove unless you manage to get the mask off

[@StranGTGamer]

I've also heard the thugs saying "He punches like a rich guy"

[@newgoodness3680]

Back when the devs actually gave a shit about extras dialogue

Big fax Brodie. Rocksteady became rockpoop after 2016

[@hamstreak5591]

The thug convos were the best part of these games.

[@brickyrobot8932]

Gotham city men are clearly undervalued. Just because most work for some phycoic criminal employer of some kind doesn't make them unintelligent. Everybody's got to make a living.

[@chibaku9162]

bro was fuming because he couldnt open the door to beat they ass

[@trollmaster4523]

I remember in one animated show of Batman a super villain robot labeled D.A.V.E. managed to deduce the Caped Crusader's secret identity with logic, using the internet Dave segregated millionaires in Gotham (which is surprisingly a lot), picked those who have a muscular build and ages between 26-30, leading to only 3 and finally find one who have a good reason to be Batman, with Thomas and Martha Wayne's death as the final piece.

[@mysterioussunshine2026]

Yeah, all that money for your suit and tech was a dead give away

[@christianfrost8660]

Over the years he has staged it so that Bruce Wayne has been seen in public while Batman has also been present.

[@henrlima87]

"MaYbE iTs BrUcE WaYnE" Thug 1: laughs Thug 2: laughs Batman: laughs nervously

[@SirVer51]

I've been saying for a long time that it should be shockingly easy for any competent investigative force to figure out who Batman is, or at least come close: all his hardware is obviously completely custom, extremely expensive, and incredibly high tech, which means that all you'd have to do is track down the few people/orgs in the world that could desing and build them, then go from there.

[@elogic7368]

The guy was never seen again

[@464588]

there was one comic where one of his girlfriends was able to figure out his identity because bruce and batman have the same chin

[@lanceknightmare]

Barbados be like- I created The Batman. 🦇 🌑
