bruce wayne answering “yes” completely honestly, non-jokingly, with a deadpan voice when the media ask him in jest if he’s batman is a mood

#and then years down the line they find out he’s batman and bruce is just like ‘i mean i never denied it’
    

#bruce
not caring enough to hide his identity has been such a staple for
batman comics but even the writers don’t realize they’re doing it

#there was this early 70s comics about a killer sending his victims batman costumes and killing them while they had them on

#so the police started suspecting one of the victims might be the real batman

#but inevitably bruce wayne gets a suit so commissioner gordon asks him if he could think of a reason the killer targeted him
         

 #and bruce just replies ‘no but the design is awful it’s nothing like the original downstairs’
     

 #while alfred is just looking straight into the panel’s camera resigned
                                               
       
   

In Gotham Adventures #35, Bruce is made part of a jury for the court case of a man that was apprehended by Batman. 

And he just fuckin. He Does That

What seems to keep his cover isn’t secrecy (though there’s plenty of it), but instead just how absolutely outrageous the idea is. Bruce Wayne?? Batman??? Puh-lease. I mean, have you seen the guy? Sure he’s a nice guy, but he’s far too busy having people run WE for him and going on pleasure cruises to be Batman. I mean, really. 

(Good thing nobody notices the cool symbolic silhouette deal he’s got going on there.)
It’s likely become something akin to the ‘Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer’ joke, (check out this post) and Bruce often just feeds it, making it even easier to get away with. It’s fucking hilarious.

I swear Bruce gets away with it because everyone assumes he’s Gotham’s answer to Bobby Newport. Imagine Bobby Newport as Batman. And you kind of get it.
