And people get fooled by a pair of glasses on Superman what's your fricking point you dingus.
I think people just assume Superman is always Superman, like if you worked with a guy who looked like Tom Cruise you wouldnt think he is secretly actually Tom Cruise. Why would Tom Cruise be flipping burges at McDonalds? Why would Superman be wasting his time writting articles about local sports teams? In a way Supermans secret identity is much better than Bruce Waynes
This. You need to have suspension of disbelief. That's what makes superheroes fun. Like Ladybug and cat Noir who love each other but doesn't realise when they put on/take off little eyemasks. It's silly but makes it work.

A tale as old as time.
Oh yeah definitely, I know Miraculous didn't invent that trope. I think shakespeare used these kind of ideas? And probably older stuff.
Isn't that the core idea of him ? Superman is a Superman. Clark Kent is a disguise and glasses are a costume.
Madone, Tone, don't this Wayne Enterprises prototype look familiar??!
Yea the idea falls apart real quick when you put a shred of thought into it. He'd be found out so fricking fast thru surveillance footage, witnesses, photos, Cross references, etc. In many ways, the biggest suspense of disbelief in these films is no one knowing who it is. That Darren Aronofsky movie where Bruce is a homeless bum living in a junk yard who no one knows about would actually be believable. No one would know who he is so no one would be able to compare photos of his chin online
It was more plausible back when it was first created with next to no surveillance tech and much lower scale on his own gadgets + spectacle of adventures. Like many american comic ideas, it simply persisted too long because nobody wants to kill a cash cow.
This. Like Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood, Superman and Batman work best in the period that they were created.
All Bruce needs to do is go to a few public events while Dick or another buddy dresses up as Batman and punches some criminals somewhere else at the same time.
Darren aronofsky made a batman movie?
yeah its called The Whale
It doesn't matter if a bunch of schizos online know who Batman is if the police and DA are unwilling to go after Bruce. In all three of Nolan's movies, Gordan is Batman's biggest fan.
You assume that Batman is out frequently.
You assume everyone of his encounters is deadly/loud.
You assume he needs to use his gadgets frequently.
Batman studies and exercises 90% of his time, the movies show you about a years worth of activities and cover less than 6hours outside his cave/mansion.
Also, ironically comic Batman should kill, whereas movie Batman shouldn't, now it is the reverse. The logic behind it is Police cooperation and recurring villains. In the movies villains are imprisoned permanently.
the dog in the opening of the dark knight also bit him in the arm, he won't be wearing many t-shirts after that
Batman's reveal to Gordon in Rises was extremely kino, bane memes aside, and if you disagree, you have no sovl
Easily the best scene in the movie.
Following the second best scene
I’ve been told the Joker film wouldn’t exist without my Joker story (1988’s Batman: The Killing Joke), but three months after I’d written that I was disowning it, it was far too violent – it was Batman for christ’s sake, it’s a guy dressed as a bat. Increasingly I think the best version of Batman was Adam West, which didn’t take it at all seriously.
As other said it is less believable in tech age. But still I would go with the idea that it's someone closely associated with Wayne and funded by him. His butler is accomplished Vet, former SAS soldier in some iterations, so he probably can get the right guy. Idea that it's Wayne himself would ridiculous to me because why risk your life when you're in top 1%, they don't do that ?
Also There is another obvious factor, when Wayne appears as himself. you would notice a black eye, a limp, or a behavior that indicates that he has been hurt, because he constantly takes hits, and after every more serious injury he would need to lay low for what a week or two to look normal in public. If he does it blows his cover. Everytime major shit goes down with Batman where he gets hurt. Wayne is nowhere to be seen for weeks at a time.
One thing I liked about The Batman (the cartoon that followed B:TaS) was that version of Bruce Wayne was an accomplished dilettante athlete who competed in martial arts tournaments, (sort of like what Mark Zuckerburg is doing IRL right now) so he had excuses both for the occasional black up or bruised rib, as well as a cover if Bruce Wayne had to kick ass out of costume.
They covered this before. They would have him do a press conference and have superman dress as him and do something attention grabhing while he is giving his press conference
Superman, Alfred, hell they even put Robin in a bodysuit with stilts one time.
>mfw fictional comic book movie with physics defying gadgets isn’t realistic
I remember in the comics reporters would bug Bruce Wayne linking him to being Batman. So every once in a while Bruce would go to a very public party and have Dick Grayson dressed as Batman swinging by to give him an alibi.
Gordon's a big guy
