COMICS: Lex Luthor Blackmails Bruce Wayne In First Look At JUSTICE LEAGUE #31

Pfft, it won't last

Now this will be Interesting to get hold on.

A few years ago, Grant Morrison in "Batman Unlimited" did have Bruce Wayne hold a press conference to say that he funds Batman. Also, Wayne has purposely laid many fake clues to indicate he is not Batman. Including sightings of the two of them together. So, it's not that obvious to investigators.

now if only Lex can put together Clark is superman

Supermans secret identity is the worst.

If I had a dollar for every time a chick pulled a shotgun on me when I tried to give her my magic ring...

One of the worst artists in the history of comic books: Dough "grinding-teeth" Mahnke. UGH New fifty-Poo keeps getting worse and worse.

Bats secret identity is easier to figure out - why?

Who else in Gotham city can afford all those gadgets, who else fits the profile of a young,Gotham, city billionaire with the build to go out fighting crime?

It's just takes some basic reasoning skills. Clark may have a seemingly simple disguise but if you master the art of changing mannerisms you can indeed appear to be a completely different person with only slight changes to appearance.

I actually thought they pulled that off well at the end of MoS. In the closing scene with Clark at the Daily Planet he looked/seemed very different than when he was in the Supes suit, and even when he was just normal Clark/prior to the suit. He had a more frantic, and friendly, vibe to him. He smiled more, wore a different outfit than we'd seen him in. His hair was shaggier, etc...

It wouldn't be impossible to pull of the deception. I think for a guy as smart as Luthor narrowing down who COULD be Batman would be easy, and all signs would point to Bruce Wayne.

So...when's the next reboot? LOL!!!

Doug Mahnke? ugh. Where's Ivan Reis?

I'm glad this is happening. It happened about 10 years ago after Bruce Wayne Fugitive, when Lex figured out his secret and manipulated him through Checkmate. But they never really handled the fallout or had the secret identity conversation.
At least DC is making this happen. Marvel is twiddling their thumbs with the Peter Parker/Flash Thompson conversation.

Not a great fan of Mahnke's.

Let's go for the old Alfred-dressed-as-Batman trick for the cover up. That should do it.
