We Test if BATMAN's Vanishing Trick Actually Works

[@DarthArachnious]

There was a comic from the 70s that showed Batman talking to Gordon in his office. As usual Gordon turns to look at Batman, only to find an open window. But as Gordon leaves the office. Batman comes out from behind the coat stand. Because Gordon would have seen him leave if he tried to go out the window. So he only made him think he left.

[@MrHocotateFreight]

Lol sometimes you don't even have to do the thing, sometimes you just gotta make them believe you did

[@lilyflare2]

[@AnEvilBastard]

There was another incident like that in Knightfall. After Batman had his back broken the guy subbing in for him went to speak with Gordon. He didn't wait for Gordon to look away before climbing out the window and it weirded Gordon out.

[@chocolatestraw3971]

@@AnEvilBastard I think it was Dick Grayson, and he wasn't even trying. Gordon had looked away, and when he turned back Batdick was still standing there, and it surprised the hell out of him. Batdick said he wasn't sure they were finished talking, and Gordon was like, "it never stopped you before." That's when he started getting suspicious he wasn't dealing with the original. I liked in Kingdom Come, toward the end of the comic when everything is coming to a head, Superman busts in on an elderly Bruce Wayne (who is preparing to put on some Bat armor) to help him with the emergency. Batman gives him more info about what's going on that makes Supes leave very quickly so that when Bruce turns back around he's gone, and he chuckles to himself, "So that's what it feels like."

[@daltonschneider2045]

The idea that Batman hides until no one is around anymore so he can get away without anyone seeing him is beyond humorous to me

[@VSTUDIOSWORLDWIDE]

They actually explain it, in batman begins when he's training as a ninja pretty much two ways, 1. you look for an exit before you enter anything. 2. you wait for hours before or after just to attack for one reason. so for a ninja they have it planned out mins or hours before it happens, but perception to a regular person it happens in a couple secs. its a about patience also imo.

One trope that I would love to see tested is the horror trope where people go towards weird sounds in the dark.

Could also unscrew the lightbulbs so they are there but won't turn on for added scare factor.

[@Renee_R343]

More realistic to test it when someone is staying long, when they are alone in a large building after hours. Most scary movies where people go towards the creepy sound are in the dark, not in a bright morning sun with friends around. But still, they should absolutely test it somehow, great idea.

[@Laarye]

Part of why it works for Batman, is that the people he's talking to are also busy. Like he is talking to them and then gives them information(sometimes physical) and they are now thinking on the info, then when he's gone, they may do a quick look around, but they also have just been given new information on their current thing and the pressure of getting back to that with all this new info kind of pushes them harder than wanting to keep looking around.

Considering the suite of super-senses that Superman has, I doubt Clark would be that easy to fool. Then again, it could just be a matter of mind-games and trying to expertly focus attention elsewhere or relax the focus in the right places such that Batman could vanish even from Clark.

I've never believed that Batman is just hiding, I think he is completely leaving in such a stealthy or unexpected way (jumping off roofs, using his gadgets) that the person didn't notice. I also enjoy believing he isn't doing it to be dramatic, he is just done with the convo and leaves immediately while the other person is still catching up.

[@antondevonlh]

The way I always read it in older iterations was that he just doesn't have enough hours in the day. In that CEO time is money sense, he literally has everything he needs, the conversation is winding down, it's time to get back on the clock. The only difference between his departure and a manager noticing the time is he has Ninja and Stage Magician training so ingrained in his act that he would actively have to try to alert someone he is leaving. A lot more modern movies just sort of use it as "ooh, mysteries," but in TAS specifically it almost always felt like "right, talkings over, back to fighting crime."

[@dariusjones1641]

I recall once or twice in BTAS, I wanna say earlier on in the series, when Batman "vanishes" and Commissioner Gordon or Barbara or someone goes to check the window or building ledge, Batman's just seen already swinging away on his grapple. And the show depicts him has undergoing both ninjitsu and magician/escape artist training in order to develop his physical skills. So when he's depicted as vanishing, it's really more just Batman silently leaving right away and the camera lingering on Gordon for a while for dramatic effect. Because when Batman wants to do something like Hide in the Shadows, he'll be seen stalking offscreen or something and then attacking from the shadows or just the his eyes or silhouette appearing as some goon has walked right past him or so. And the black, dark blue, and gray of his suit are colors suitable for blending into general dark surroundings.

[@johnnyrocket1685]

This right here. People are honestly, in my opinion, showing how little deductive skills and cognitive reasoning they actually possess if they think he’s hiding in a box waiting for everyone to just leave. No, he was literally training in over a dozen different forms of martial arts across the whole world in dozens of different countries, and also learned along the way multiple different forms of magician skills. Things like “Disappearing” most specifically. He’s distracting the enemy or waiting for an ally to become distracted, before walking away as quietly as he can and then he crawls into the ventilation system or jumping off a building, grappling up to a higher vantage point, etc.

[@johnnyrocket1685]

The other thing that dudes in a dingy studio cannot get their hands on are the gadgets and forms of technology Batman possess as a Multi-Billionaire. It’s very possible to assume that Batman has multiple styles of suits. Ones for intimidation with heavy boots, as well as suits specifically designed for stealth, with boots made of specially made materials that dampen sound and make it so he produces virtually no sound when walking.

I actually think there's a level of mythos to Batman's disappearances. People don't look for him because he has this concept that is part of his entire identity about vanishing. Even though it could be easy for them to find him if they looked, he gives them the impression that it would be futile

[@96Logan]

Yeah, it's like when my little dog sneaks a food wrapper off the table when I'm watching a show with my mom. The 10lb dog sits on her lap on the lazy boy and we have an end table very close. She (the dog) will wait a while, my mom gets pretty glued to the TV so it's pretty easy for her to slowly grab it and get away. My mom has slow reaction times as well so will give up almost immediately because she also can't catch the dog once the dog gets on the ground. The dog doesn't even run that fast honestly because she knows that she won... Until I'm in the room in the same scenario and I can actually catch her so she's caught off guard

In my experience, you don't even need to hide, you can just leave. When someone's talking to you, they assume you are still there even when their back is turned, so if their attention gets caught by a task, you can have a lot of time to just leave. I do it all the time by accident: I'm walking alongside someone, talking to them, and the side I'm walking on runs out of room so I switch sides behind them, they turn back to speak to me and get the Batman reaction, sometimes I switch back to the side I was on and they take another few seconds to find me, but I would always have enough time to slip into the crowd or behind a nearby wall or something

You could line your roof with lead and Superman couldn't see in, but he'd still see a lead roof. Pretty suspicious on its' own.

For that matter, he's hearing Bruces' heart as they are talking. He's literally hearing the heartbeat grow fainter as he moves away. That's like having a car sneak away while the motor is running.

Batman's thing is theatrics, even if he doesn't often admit it. Talking to a magician to learn how he does it was the right angle to take, I think.

Theory behind it is that Superman moves the facial muscles at a rapid speed that when he is not wearing glasses the face is not recognizable .. people see a human face but cannot distinguish it from any other clean shaved face

So with this, I can kind of see it with my current work situation I have to wear a mask, but I'm not allowed to wear a hat. So everone sees me from the middle of my nose up. But when I'm not on the clock without my mask and witha hat on. No one at work knows its me until I pull out my employee discount card.

Humans don't recognize other people as easily if they aren't in recognizable situations. Henry Cavill literally proved that by wearing glasses and walking through Times Square underneath all of the promo posters for man of steel. No one recognized him.

Jake you outdid yourself 😄 I laughed more than recent Bolivud episode. Tnx crew for making our lives better! Been a fan for more than 7 years, and will be forever ❤️

That video got deleted, Because they literally made fun of Bollywood in that video, they should not have done that, they should respect every industry. It shows their ignorance about the knowledge of film industry as a whole. And western studios are biased, they make the VFX of high quality for Hollywood films of the same budget of the Bollywood film, and they do bad VFX for Bollywood films even they have same budget. That is the issue. This industry is so biased.

Batman should carry a live bat around with him in his suit, and then when he disappears, he throws the live bat in to the air. Unfortunately, the bat would likely just land somewhere nearby, and the person who was talking to Batman would assume he turned in to a bat - and just continue to talk with him. Might even wait with him for hours until he flies away. It would still make a great prank.
