the-swift-tricker:

it’s easy to mock the concept of batman’s secret identity and think it’s ridiculous that nobody would realize that he’s bruce wayne but if some lady suddenly showed up late at night dressed in full military grade kevlar and started fighting crime in los angeles i wouldn’t look at that and think "ah it’s kylie jenner

you-got-it-capstar:

Same logic applies to Clark Kent tbh I wouldn’t see Superman, the crazy powerful alien, zooming past me and go “i think he’s secretly an award winning journalist”

the-swift-tricker: "it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…anderson cooper?!

appendingfic:

Me: "sees masked man fighting both crime and police corruption* Me: I have no idea who that is, but it is NOT a billionaire.

      And for Batman it’s not even about looks. Batman has a shit ton of super expensive gadgets (the batmobile, batplane, etc.) not to mention it’s all high-tech experimental military shit.

      Like, how many people in Gotham can afford those kinds of things and have access to that kind of technology? The list can’t be very long.
