How fast do you think Batman’s identity would be found out these days. Surely with new technology and the internet...

>finances
Are you retarded? Nobody is looking at his bank statements if they don't know who he is.

Dipshits like him think they are smarter than everyone else, when in reality, they just like the smell of their own farts

I think it's possible for a version of Batman to exist irl who does mostly detective work. The problem is someone that competent would end up working within the system and consequently accomplishing far more practical results. Batman is trapped in a franchise with a status quo that uses illogical writing to contrive a need for a Batman to exist, almost on a cosmological level at times.

That's kind of how superheroes work. If they functioned on logic, only Superman or the Flash would matter.

nobody would think he's not human and he wouldn't be able to do most of the shit he does, like swinging between buildings

People think Bigfoot and the Jersey devil fucking exist.
Don't underestimate how stupid people are.

>nobody would think he's not human
Superman exists, but people would surely think Batman is human. Pretty smooth brain you have there

How?
Without DNA or fingerprints you have nothing.
You cant just say "we have the internet and technology we can figure it out" and voila its done, this isn't some insane Qanon bullshit

And what proof is there even that he exists?
Mobsters and gang bangers and pimps and pushers and junkies saying they got beat up by a giant bat creature?

>Superman exists
source?

In order for Batman to work at all, he needs to
A) be smarter than everyone else
B) be richer than everyone else
C) be basically superhuman

Let's not kid ourselves, there is no fucking way a human would be able to do what Batman does. Humans can't jump twice their height. Humans can't completely disappear in the half a second a police commissioner takes their eyes of them without making a single noise. Humans can't throw a shuriken so hard that it stabs into a metal gun. If a human tried to go up against all the crime in a city like Gotham, they'd get shot up and tossed aside on the first night. In order for Batman to work, he needs to be superhuman. Thus, Batman IS superhuman in all but name. In order to take the focus off that, they make pretty much every ninja or vigilante superhuman as well. Batman looks less impressive in a world in which Lady Shiva or Deathstroke exist, but that's a fucking trick. ALL of them are superhuman. Not one single one of them is realistic in any way.

sure there'd be internet speculation but nobody would figure shit out
look at how people have driven themselves insane over True Detective, a work of FICTION, and Qanon

>And what proof is there even that he exists
That huge ass bat signal on top of police headquarters

what are the hackers trying? how do you hack some guy beating up crooks? what is there to hack?

You fucking retards are missing the point of the thread. Stop huffing your farts and gain some fucking reading comprehension

Gordon's gone senile, but he's so close to retirement they just let him play with that thing.

except Batman isn't seen well enough to photograph
the only evidence might be Baterangs
and they'd be in police custody
and what would they find from that?
Yes they would, nobody sees shit and its all done in the dark
>like swinging between buildings
But he's Batman
Why, have they seen Batman?
Did you not see him fighting Grodd today? All over the news.
>police deny all knowledge

That IS the point. He's superhuman in every way, and that also means that he's SO superhumanly competent that he can escape being found out by us "normal" people. Batman has, on several occasions, made complete fools of the U.S. government. He HAS to be that good, otherwise there IS no Batman. EVERYTHING about Batman hinges entirely on the fact that he is better than everyone else. If he's not, he'd be dead.

>made complete fools of the U.S. government
You say that like it's hard to do
The only way that would work is if Gordon was a democrat

All of the projects involving high performance aircraft, cars, and weapons aren't cheap, retard. If there are high volumes of money and resources being invested into something, but nothing to account for it, that will get someone's attention.

Continue slurping that Batcum, his bullshit won't fly in the real world no matter how hard you jack off to that power fantasy.

Nobody can properly track the Koch brothers spending or Trumps taxes
Why would it be different for figuring out the financing for Batmans equipment

Weaponized autism says 2 days for the hacker known as Yea Forums to guess his identity.

>Trumps taxes
Rent free

And how would they even know who to look for?

Hey dumbass, those are literally explained in universe as Wayne Enterprises doing R&D shit. Which is 100% plausible irl.

what do they hack?
its just an example - do you deny that they cant be figured out? - don't be so fucking triggered

They can deduce the identity of a pornstar via a mole on the ass, and the location of shia's flag based on fucking clouds.

and any picture of the gotham bat is going to be blurry and taken at night

Hacking isn't like the movies, retardo

Even without that, rich people aren't obligated to disclose what they are doing with their money

>I'm not the on who brought up Trump or the Kock brothers.

Yes, I deny. The IRS knows

>hack
>not knowing the hacker known as Yea Forums
Jesus christ. How old are you?

but that's not released to the public is it
kinda like waynes spending

Don't be an autist and turn this into a /pol/ thing, this thread was going just fine and it was literally just an example of people irl hiding financial records.

>people irl hiding financial records
No one is hiding shit though

Bruce Wayne engages in a complex financial shellgame to conceal his financing of Batmans equipment
Trumps taxes are convoluted and opaque and cant be released to the public
The fiction is no less plausible than the reality

If it makes you feel less victimised, I understand a culture of victimhood is very important for you lot, you're welcome to site a librul doing the same. And then I'd like us all to move on.

I love how you tards think there is something in his taxes. If there were, the Obama led IRS would have leaked them or came after them like how he sicced them on reporters and the Tea Party. Let it go, sweetie.

Is batface acceptable in 2019?

Both of you losers shut the fuck up.

whats batface?

Keep your head in the sand, useful idiot

>How fast do you think Batman’s identity would be found out these days.
Some factory worker that worked on a custom bat shaped part would have spilled who they were shipping it to before he built his first Batmobile

they subcontract out
nobody knows what they're building

Bruce is autistic enough that'd he'd probably build everything himself desu

>autistic
That's called being smart.

he wouldn't have time to do that

His public persona is an idiot who only shows up for parties.
He has all the time in the world.

/pol/ found Shia Lebouf, they can find the Batcave.

Main problem with that is the general public doesn't even know about the cave

Picking nits like this is exactly the kind of autism we need.

he uses that time to be batman

He knows some non-existant technique that lets him get by with very little sleep. He's only Batman at night.

Part of being Batman is getting prepared.

>non-existant technique
Some people actually only need like 4 hours of sleep. I won't name one example

Certain Agencies would likely figure it out, like Waller has on several occasions, but generally speaking they have no particular reason to bother him (since if he put his mind to it he could probablt grab and reveal their own dirty laundry or be an asset to them) even when he isn't on a first name basis with figures like Superman. But Gotham? I would imagine Gotham is low on police surveillance because it would catch the corruption on tape and could be used as evidence, and Batman could just scramble it anyway at need.

It would become more difficult in Beyond time period, as there are likely detection devices that read you DNA and check records from shit like breath, but even then you can have a full-face mask with filters.

He sticks almost exclusively to one city, that itself is the biggest red flag working against him.

Explain

There are gonna be wannabees just like in TDK also Batman inc

You'd only have to look in that city to find him.

So what?

But why would anyone suspect Bruce Wayne?
Why would anyone even think he was human in the first place?

Cross referencing: Build, jaw shape, voice, apparent age, height etc.

Do I have to have a Yea Forums pass to filter the retarded comments?

So Batmen are everywhere. How do you know which one is real and where did he even came from. Consider that Wayne industries would wipe/mess all the info about original one

Pretty sure the bats all over everything would give them a good idea.

/pol/ figured out where Shia LaBeouf’s flag was, based on nothing but cloud formations and passing aircraft, in less than 24 hours. If Bruce Wayne were real, I’d give him a week at most.

There is literally zero evidence for Wayne being Batman though, while there were at least some clues for the flag.

Think about it. You could cross reference all social media instances reporting his appearances with their times and locations. That establishes an area. When it becomes clear that he has lots of million-dollar military-grade toys, that establishes that he’s either a) rich, or b) being supplied by someone rich. Cross-reference area with list of rich individuals, eliminate those who don’t have involvement with companies holding military/law enforcement contracts. Investigate their backgrounds and discover one Bruce Wayne was orphaned at a young age due to a random act of criminal violence. All that remains is for someone to fly a drone around the perimeter of Wayne manor and wait for something suspicious to happen.

batman is a well built, rich, single guy from gotham, aged 20- (probably 25 at least) -40 (probably 35 at most), with a lot of spare time

And Wayne is out of shape and a drunk idiot

His build (he spends too much time partying, and not enough in a public gym, to look like he does shirtless), the number of fucking scars he would have and how often he is injured, would also be a massive flag.

This is assuming there is any credible proof he exists.
Of which there isn't. He isn't fucking Superman, in universe he's an urban legend. Nobody is posting about him on Twitter because nobody ever sees him.

>fucking scars
> shirtless
Most people wouldn't see that
>injuries
He got tennis elbow or got hurt rock climbing

my guy, your garden variety hacker doesn't give two shits about why they just like poking around for anything. it's the person who thinks "oh boy, this pasta recipe clearly is proof an underground child slavery ring is at this family pizza restaurant I better go there with guns and save them" that looks into it. and then gets arrested for being that retarded.

>public gym
He's a fucking billionaire, retard

All this is all based on the reference point of you, the reader, knowing more than the characters in the story. If Batman were real, none of this would mean anything

given that even half a century ago he was only keeping it secret with preposterous lies yes, yes he'd be found out in hours

and here's the thing: it wouldn't be the supervillains that came for him, because they wouldn't be the ones with the resources

it would either be federal law enforcement - because Batman is SUPER illegal - or the mob, any mob, and while the feds would just lock him up (which is what happens to billionaires who break the law in reality and can be proven to have broken the law), the mob would own him, for the rest of his life, very little of which would be spent as Batman

This thread really comes off as a lot of you not knowing shit about Batman and trying to seem like you're smart when you're really not. All of this has been addressed before.
In fact in the DCU (by the people that know for a fact they exist), it's assumed the Batfamily just has superpowers. Steph yelled out Shazam once and it scared the fuck out of everyone in the room because they legitimately thought she had powers and was about to beat the shit out of them.
One time Cass told these thugs that she was Batman and everyone was lying about Batman being a man and they believed her.

That's how little the public know about the Bats. There is not going to be any looking at constellations and video surveillance. Because none of that exists

Batman is a mutant and a public menace!

it's based on logical thinking

No, it’s based on living in the real world where there are CCTV cameras and street lights everywhere and everyone has a 4K video camera in their pocket. When a psychotic orphan dressed as a bat starts beating up junkies in back alleys at night, people aren’t just going to ignore that and keep walking.

>Also sometimes he's not even confirmed to exist and isnl considered an urban legend.

How does that work when he's on the Justice League?

No, it isn't. Most people really don't know shit about Batman
>CCTV cameras and street lights
>4K video camera
>back alleys at night
Congratulations on blowing yourself out

>Riddler spreads misinformation on Yea Forums and reddit because he doesn’t want some autists to know Gotham’s biggest secret and make him feel less special
>Riddler literally becomes the ultimate autistic shitposter because of this

Please tell me more of this 1930’s world you come from where street lighting, CCTV, drones, smartphones, DSLRs, commercially-available night vision video cameras, and satellite imaging don’t exist.

>orphan dressed as a bat
And no one would know that, dip shit
Just take the loss and move on
>people aren’t just going to ignore that and keep walking.
Spoken like a child who knows nothing about places like New York City

you don't need to KNOW, you need to assume

Have you ever walked around the back alleys of a city at night? It’s perpetually 5pm in London, New York, Tokyo, etc with the amount of artificial light.

He doesn't show up to public events, and if he does he hides away from everyone.
Like when the league showed up to see Ollie's son in the hospital, he just stayed in a dark stairwell like an autist and didn't talk to anyone.

Assuming things just makes an ass out of you

Senile Republicans exist too. Hail to the Chief

>waaghhhh stop questioning my 1930’s-era escapist fantasy for 12-year-olds!

Grow up.

>Cross referencing: Build, jaw shape, voice, apparent age, height etc

he would alter his posture, its a form of acting method called the Alexander Technique
and they'd need a clear picture
>voice
he pitches his voice down as Batman, if not outright whispering
>apparent age
whats that got to do with it? nobody knows how old the Bat is
and they'd need a clear picture
>jaw
well they'd need to have a clear picture

Says the guy getting this angry

If we're putting Batman in our world, then all the technology and the skills he has to combat that come along with him too. He's had tech to just fuck up cameras before and to cloak himself.
And this is one of the smartest men on Earth who plans to the most minute detail and has so many back up plans for his back up plan's back up plan.
He's not getting seen on camera.

surveillance and security footage wouldn't show shit at night and that's assuming he hasn't cut it
news footage would only be filmed when they arrive on the scene of a crime and he'd be long gone by then

>Spoken like a child who knows nothing about places like New York City

WORLD STAR! YEAH BABY, WORLD STAR! THIS SHIT GOIN’ VIRAL YO, NIGGA BE DRESSED LIKE A BAT N’ SHIT!

>nobody sees him

Except the thugs he beats up and tortures.

And the supervillains he fights.

And the people that see him when he's running around in daylight.

And the police.

Batman Inc were people he recruited not wannabes

Except this is real world rules, and there’s no way to just magically turn off phones and cameras with a wave of the hand.

Batman is active when most people are asleep in bed
So that gives Wayne an alibi, when hes not out of the country that is
Batman doesn't exit the main gate
There is a Batcave
With many deep tunnels and caverns
Hell in some versions it connects directly to the Gotham subway - he'd NEVER pop out onto the surface until he was inside Gotham

Thugs are the most uncredible source there ism

Supervillains are up there too.

He doesn't run around in daylight.

Gotham's police is notriously corrupt and he only talks to a few select individuals he knows he can trust.

>And the people that see him when he's running around in daylight.
When does this happen?
>And the police
Pretty much only Gordon and maybe Bullock see him
>comparing Batman to shit pavement apes do
No one said that though and their are cell phone jammers, you dip shit

Batman is a blurry shadow seen in the dark and brutalised criminals testimony is unreliable due to concussions
So you don't know any of that about him

Except he absolutely can because he has the tech to do it. There was no stipulation that he doesn't get his tech. He's not Batman without it.

Who would be seeing Wayne shirtless? Do you see Wall St bankers just walking up and down the street in their underwear?
Nobody is going to see what he looks like under his clothes
He will alter his posture
And tailor his clothes

Yeah, a bunch of cons got magically beat the fuck up and all tell the same totally untrue story that a guy in a bat costume did it.

The ones with connections with powerful and influential institutions and figures?

Stop being retarded, yes he does.

Bitch, there are beat cops around when he shows up to crime scenes.

See above.

No he straight up doesn't, it is rare to see a blue sky in a Batman comic.

When he shows up to crime scenes there usually either aren't cops around because he snuck in or it's just Gordon.

>Who would be seeing Wayne shirtless?
Paparazzi. Tabloid media would eat that shit up. You can already see how any kind of scandal can drive up sales. Imagine if some bozo managed to get a shot of shirtless Wayne with some bruising. Conspiracy theories would appear left right and centre over what happened.

Gotham has rampant crime and is economically depressed, there would not be lights and CCTV everywhere
>people would identify they look alive
but they have no clear pictures of the bat

Taylor Swift managed to hide her navel for years. I'm sure Bruce can avoid having a picture taken of him with his shirt of.

>There's a new vigilante in town? Better just go camp on that billionaires mansion grounds outside of town for some reason lol.
Makes sense

She doesn't have an eccentric billionaire playboy personality to keep up.
I totally forgot that meme was a thing. Thanks for reminding me.

I think about murder a lot, and how easy it would be to be caught out. I think about it. Say I murder a woman in her home. It's night time, no one else around, no one hears her scream, it was on a Friday night so she didn't have work until Monday, her family doesn't see her often enough. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just a murdered woman with no trace. She doesn't fight and rip out my precious DNA, she doesn't haunt the house with a blood curse, she just dies. I clean myself up, leave, and go home.

Are there cameras they check? Do they go from street to street surveying people walking the area on the time of the murder? Do you basically just retrace steps with a Google street view type camera? I don't understand. How do you dispose of a body somewhere without it being traced back? Why would a man dump a bag of rocks into a lake at 2am? I don't know.

they wouldn't see a guy in a bat costume
its dark
they've been jacked from behind
they have concussions
>its a bat! a giant freaking bat!
Celebrities that get followed and photographed everywhere are in on it, their publicists call the photographers
That's why you see some doing all the time and you never ever see others
And he's a billionaire not a popsinger

People have turned Batman into an insufferable, ridiculous Marty Stu.

An all knowing, all capable douchebag.

In real life, tho? Batman wouldn't last a year.

Identity would be eventually known.

And someone would have shot him in the face with a rifle powerful enough to blow his entire skull.

hair and fibre
cover as much as possible, shave what will be exposed, and the clothes you wear should be something you can dispose of once you're done
vacuum and shampoo carpet
a fire would help too but of course that would attract attention which you do not want

they would check with neighbours to see if they saw anything suspicious ask if any have security cameras they could check

if you're dumping the body then you need to remove the finger prints and teeth and destroy the face
if you're dumping in a lake you need to cut open the stomach to prevent gases building up and causing it to float

ideally you should have a grave prepared and lime ready for dissolving it

>Most people wouldn't see that
>Playboy who owns a yacht or twenty, throws parties, never shows an inch of flesh
I mean, even if that were true and he somehow evades this, the fucker takes facial injuries all the time, and since we are dealing in a hypothetical 'reality' he would look worse within a year than most lifetime boxers and street fighters. He would be visibly fucked up far beyond what a bit of make up or even a skilled plastic surgeon could deal with and would almost constanly be sporting freshly stitched wounds, black eyes, missing teeth and split lips.

An actual Batman would have to operate like a sniper or actual ninja just to avoid career ending injuries within the first months of his career, so I suppose that would help reduce injuries.

there was some study that said he could only successfully operate for two years due to the amount of training required and the stress on the body and concussions, they based their comparison on NFL players I think
There is no argument for the identity being found out
>uh they look the same
Nobody is fucking seeing him
>shoot him with a high powered rifle
When do street criminals and the mob use that?

I won't insult you back. Time invested. He already struggled to work his regime into actually being Batman and playing the Playboy. None of the shit in a normal gym would be more than a warm up for the Batman. It would be purely time spent on his deception. Except, his frame and mucles suggest someone who practically lives and breathes the gym, and could be reliably found there.

That's assuming paparazzi is on him, do you ever see the Paparazzi following the kids of the Koch Brothers?

He's a billionaire, why wouldn't he have his own gym? Many celebrities do.

His vehicles alone would fuck him over. It might take a while, but just use CCTV feeds to report where the car comes and goes from. Before too long you would have a rough search area to find shit that isn't on public blueprints. Even assuming he never accesses Gotham central through predictable routes, he can't be 100% random when sometimes he has to get somewhere in a hurry.

>He already struggled to work his regime into actually being Batman and playing the Playboy.
>None of the shit in a normal gym would be more than a warm up for the Batman. It would be purely time spent on his deception. Except, his frame and mucles suggest someone who practically lives and breathes the gym, and could be reliably found there.
Once he's ripped he only needs to work to maintain it he doesn't need to be further bulking, check with /fit/ about this they have demolished the ludicrous workout regimes attributed to Batman.
He operates during the night, say 9pm-5am? He's then in bed from 6am-12pm.
Then its breakfast and working out, to maintain.
He can read police reports or listen to wiretaps while he is doing that.
Spends a couple ours on Wayne Industries and various Foundations, goes into Gotham if need be.
And then prepares for the Night.
He can always switch things around if he needs to be Bruce the Buffoon in the morning or early afternoon.

>When do street criminals and the mob use that?
Couldn't find the article but there was a story recently of a mob boss getting shot by a high powered rifle as he was leaving his house

Tim Drake, Ra's al Ghul, Hugo Strange, and even Vicki Vale discovered his identity in plausible enough ways. I think if anyone really wanted to and was smart enough, they could. It's even more ridiculous when Batman appears on TV. The one post-Zero Hour change I liked is that he takes reasonable precuations against being filmed. Morrison's idea of Bruce spreading disinfo online is interesting too.

In-universe there's always tabloids about him in Gotham. He's considered to be a handsome, eligible bachelor, and one of the most popular people in the city. Local media eats up any stories abut him since they know it sells.
That's not even considering that aside from Lex Luthor, he is the most well known businessman/CEO in the world. Think Bill Gates or Elon Musk. Bruce Wayne is a household name.

About a month after he started doing anything more than punching purse snatchers, everyone would know who he is.

>Bill Gates or Elon Musk
And no one is following them around 24 hours a day

>Paulie is gonna admit his loan shark operation was taken out by a freak dressed as a bat

I'm not sure you understand just how hard it is to maintain that physique or how odd it would be for this irresponsable and buffoonish pig of a playboy to not only have that level of personal self discipline. There is a reason not everyone who is a little ashamed of their appearance and weight don't look like Chadquaman. It's practically a lifestyle choice. And Bruce Wayne already has a (supposedly) destructive and unhealthy lifestyle.

Nigger, dumb jocks and actors stay buff all the time. Just do some roids and lift and you're fine.

Well Coleman Reese figured it out in like a month in the "real, gritty" version of Gotham so probably about that long.
But to begin with there is no way the Batman could work in the real world. He would be a slightly more competent Phoenix Jones.

Most of the detective work I've seen here is just doxing people from their social media posts or jpg exif data.

Oh yeah, that was impressive too (partially because of finding the base, and partially because their find actually resulted in larger consequences than trolling with a flag).
