Pretty sure Gordon figured it out but just plays dumb.
Garadur
I deduce this deuce stain is Bruce Wayne! https://youtu.be/17CLlZuiBkQ
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
What really bothers me is that it's not that hard to recognize the bottom half of someone's face.
thereitis101
How many people would have clear shots of Batman who patrols at night and think to compare to Bruce Wayne.
tariqk
Holmes would've deduced it from the crime reporting, figured out Bruce's motivations, and kept quiet about it, honestly.

First time viral!! Thanks so much! Send pictures of dogs.

Sherlock Holmes is a public domain character. He shows up in some of the early-mid Batman comics as a very old man who trains Bruce Wayne.
RyanH42
Tim Drake did that when he was a teenager, you're not special Sherlock.

I'd say in this instance the batmobile has lost its wheels
gnomedeplume
Holmes would need to be familiar with the modern world, Gotham, it's prominent people, their lifestyles, backgrounds to make deductions-
gnomedeplume
necessary to reach this conclusion, but not before the first thing he'd do which is ask, "Where can I procure some cocaine?"
EniChaos
Penguin has that part covered
Zefar
The reason no one figures out its him is because no one actually believes a billionaire would put their life on the line to help others.
piof0
Well of course its like that in the fiction the exception is the Justice League
JackalopeElope
Holmes straightened a bent fire poker with his bare hands. Canonically not a pushover.
GoodBrotherGrimm
Was that in the speckled band?
seppdietrich
It was. At the same time, he does get overpowered on more than one occasion, too.
crackblind
Everyone in Gotham already knows Bruce Wayne is Batman and just play along. https://youtu.be/s2d5QVq3aKM

That is awsome
RydWolf
Well, not *everyone*.

This just made me want batman to show up in cyberpunk2077 (I mean more than just a car)

Best we can do is Terry McGuiness
graehall
Wow, the way the water shimmers on his cape in the rain is very nicely animated
DeeDoubleYu
not even that hard to do, but it takes a great art director to realise it needs it in the first place!
MikeKeyser
batman secretly kills anyone who guesses right. the best criminals know better than to say anything and play dumb
wadatahmydamie
He also secretly killed all those people who helped build the Batcave
MikeKeyser
he copied that from a Breaking Bad episode.

I really need to replay the series...
godofhorizons
What’s the series?
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Arkham Knight, iirc.
SergeantMajorSpoiler
I loved the first two, the spin-off I positively hated, the last one was just...okay. Too much playing tank killer, it got old really quick.
Kbantar
Fit single man in 30s, ultra wealthy, traumatic childhood to induce superheroism, lives in/around Gotham. So many possibilities. /S
cosonfused
He hasn't been in his 30's for years.
igglebotato
He's aging slower than Bart Simpson, who's been 10 years old for over 30 years now.
NonstopRampage
I like how you say that as if superheroism is the default.
TheRealFireFrenzy
with the amount of loonies running around gotham, it kinda is though
NonstopRampage
...I mean, then, wouldn't supervillainy be the norm?
TheRealFireFrenzy
eh villain, hero... Never saw Mister freeze kick anyone in the head for eating icecream
Vergenbuurg
I love how The Dark Knight had it be a humble accountant. https://youtu.be/7zJ0DLJmXl8 (Well, not so humble when he figured it out)

Ah yes, Mr Reese. I wonder if he had a love for riddles.

How did his head get bigger after unmasking?
Echo18
It's a compression mask.
BalloonPie
the silhouette is the same size, its just the ears that pop out
commentsrnice2
It may be a lack of visual depth on the hood making it seem smaller because he seems to go from popsicle to brick

I can forgive a lot of the new SW, but Rey just adopting the Skywalker name was so uninspired
Hashbrown123
I think do to her bond with Ben she should have ended up pregnant in the end and would have had a reason to take the last name.
nemo3590
Solo would have made so much more sense if she had to adopt a name. Each of the 3 Solos she knew profoundly affected her life.
nemo3590
Luke was a guy she mostly argued with and was disillusioned by. Iirc she didn't even witness his redemption scene?

RIP Tommy
BeeInABlanket
She'd just found out her family's name is basically "Space Hitler". I don't blame her for changing it. Could've chose a different name tho.
TuckerTheGuy
I can't. Won't. I read the books. I loved the characters we will never see. Shame on Disney.

I'm a huge sw fan. KOTOR taught me how to read. I dont even know what youre talking about because the new ones are dead to me.

Good man
JayEnfield
I love me the Han Solo trilogy by Ann Crispin. When the prequels were first announced I had hoped they were going to adapt those.
DracusShadowrift
I was hoping for Thrawn, but the Han Solo Trilogy would have been great as well.
JayEnfield
Everyone is horny for Thrawn. He is the Krystal Fox of the SW universe.
Sonicschilidogs
It doesn't take the worlds greatest detective to deduce he's Bruce Wayne, who else could afford all the shit? Luthor? Already a baddie. Plus
RenaissanceFaireMan
TBH...I've known it all along!
Sonicschilidogs
He wouldn't give a shit about Gotham anyway. It was so easy, Tim Drake got to be Robin because he discovered it as a kid ...
Nuclearun
So.. you're saying Sherlock is the next Robin?
Elonth
the general public usually doesn't know luthor is a bad guy until he gets busted big in that continuity.
cosonfused
and then gets pardoned and then everybody forgets it.
ShamelessSeamus
I thought you were doing Sherlock's opening line from ERB.
trondason1
Wayne isn't the only rich guy in town. Maybe its that penguin-shaped Cobblepot. Or one of the dozen other super rich guys in town.
PutItInNeutral
Totally Carmine Falcone or Roland Daggett.
srsgiraffe
Newer comics have made it clear that it’s pretty easy to figure out how Batman is but he has made sure that there are no hard evidence
Animorphs
I’ve got it! Batman is Oliver Queen!
cosonfused
Batman doesn't have a glorious and dashing 'stache though.
Mjaubiz
Also, he has his face clearly visible, except the eyes.
RideTheStimutacs
In several comics, Batman had decoys who would appear in public with Bruce Wayne to throw off the media.
pawdraig
Also factor in billionaires fit enough to be bats. Bruce's lack of a life, never seen at night, random injuries...
AHDaniHodd
The amount of stuff Riddler or Joker has would make them seem rich too
AHDaniHodd
Riddler even suggests that Batman is another criminal and he steals from the people he takes down in Arkham Asylum
needmorecuteanimals
Would be kinda funny if he was, though.
TheThunderbirdRising
Anyone who is paying close enough attention can line up the changing robins to when Bruce Wayne adopts his kids
Kakeukh
I can just visualize Alfred taking some time (while Bruce is out) to post comment after comment on various website, saying "Obviously Lex
Kakeukh
Luthor is the Batman, who else could it be? He's got the money, the ego, the bald head to fit under the cowl..."
Kakeukh
Deflects heat away from Bruce, and, bonus, now Lex has to fend off the occasional Penguin attack and Two-Face offensive.

How else Holmes could figure it out?
Winchester427
It's actually a brilliant cover, you'd never expect a billionaire to be putting their life on the line for justice.
Sonicschilidogs
But I would expect them to beat up the mentally ill for sport and continually allow the criminally insane to escape and kill thousands
mastertmo
But how do the villains of Gotham keep getting all their stuff? None if that is cheap

He's usually stopping bank robberies and murders.

The Bat can't be everywhere at once.
StevieTheAussie
1/ Well I mean, there’s also always the chance that Batman’s not a resident of Gotham? With how fast the Batplane is, he could live an hour
StevieTheAussie
2/ drive away and still be there in seconds. Then there’s be loads of people with government conspiracies, who’s assume he works for the
StevieTheAussie
3/ government and all that is paid for by tax, etc. Plus there’s that Bruce Wayne is undisciplined, soft, self-concerned and the only ppl
StevieTheAussie
4/ he cares to spend time on are the models he beds. Much like Superman, Batman paints a picture with Bruce Wayne that makes it impossible
StevieTheAussie
5/ for him to be the Batman; despite being the exact same height, weight, gender & ethnicity; & is one of 5 ppl in the world with the funds.

In a comic of Batman, Ra's al ghul discovered he's Bruce Wayne beacuse of that excatly, serching who can paid for all stuf that batman uses
