    My favorite time is in the Batman issue #1000 where the Penguins talks about he always knew Batman identity after a villains meeting to discuss who it is. In said meeting most of them almost piece it together until the Joker goes out of his way to make the idea of Bruce being Batman as extremely absurd. Which is one of the more subtle ways he’s protected his identity.

      It's kinda funny because it's not even a difficult argument to make for a sane person. The whole idea that Bruce Wayne of all people is Batman is rather ridiculous when you think about it from the perspective of someone who would be living in Gotham, knowing only what ordinary people would know about him. The only thing that would be a potential link to Batman would be the fact that Bruce is rich, but he's hardly the only rich person in Gotham. Bruce is also a big money donor, but other than that he doesn't really come off as the heroic type and certainly doesn't seem like someone who would win a lot of fist fights. There's also the fact that Batman doesn't even necessarily need to be rich, he just needs a source of funding. It wouldn't be an unfair assumption for a citizen of Gotham to make that Batman is government funded, especially when Batman is working together with the police. This only further eliminates Bruce Wayne from the suspect pool. Literally the only reason why we in the real world see Batman's identity as Bruce Wayne as obvious is because we view his world through his eyes, with his knowledge about his own secret identity.

      @@Crow_Rising Not really. Someone could look at Bruce Wayne and see they have the same body type and height as Batman. Bruce Wayne is 6'2" at 240 lbs according to Justice League cartoon so he's pretty athletic, muscular and isn't fat or old like a lot of rich people. Bruce Wayne has competed in race car driving so he could be seen as someone that could chase down criminals in a bat mobile everyday. Batman doesn't cover his mouth area so it can be deduced that he's a white male. Someone can take pictures of Bruce Wayne and Batman to compare their mouths like Bane did in Arkham Origins. Batman has been shot at multiple times by police as a vigilante starting out so it can be seen he's not funded by the government. If someone couldn't deduce that Bruce Wayne is Batman then they could at least figure that Wayne Enterprise is giving him gadgets, cars, jets, etc. funding him and that Bruce Wayne is at least connected to Batman. There's also the case of Batman leaving DNA somewhere like blood, sweat, etc. and villain or Police Department finding that DNA to see that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Overall, Bruce Wayne is a big candidate to be viewed as possibly being Batman in that world cause he's rich and could afford all of Batman's expensive jets, cars, gadgets, etc., is a white male and that they have the same body type.

    How could you leave out Batman Arkham Knight? At the end of the Harley mission at Panessa Studios, the mental echo of Joker inside Bruce's mind is showing him (and the player/audience) what happened with Jason Todd, which is supposed to be the big hint of the huge plot twist that everyone saw coming. When Joker has shown that he has essentially flipped Jason, he asks him what is Batman's secret identity is. And just as Jason is about to reveal it, Joker "shoots him dead" saying "I always hate a tattle tale."

    I would also like to add that Joker's whole relationship with Batman's identity changes as The Batman series progresses; early on, there's an episode where the Riddler challenges Penguin and Joker to defeat and unmask Batman for the privilege of controlling the city, which Joker is totally on board with.

    There's probably a bit of professional courtesy involved. Every time batman fights a new villain, one of the first things he goes for is investigating/revealing the foe's true identity. There's no reason to believe he made any exception for Joker, and in some comic strips it's been noted that he knew Joker's true identity within weeks of encountering him. But since he doesn't really ever leak the Joker's identity to the public, maybe the Joker gives him the same treatment.

    The Dark Reflection trope is one of my favorite hero tropes, Wrath and Scorn are Dark Reflections of Batman and Robin, as are Owl Man and Talon. It's on my favorite list because it shows just how easy it could have been for the hero to go down the path of being a villain.
    And as for a suggestion regarding something different, it could be interesting to have a list of characters from comics, pop culture, and the like that inspired and influenced the incarnations of heroes like Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the like. For example, the Phantom is a surprising influence on the aesthetic for Batman and Spider-Man. The Phantom is a masked hero created by Lee Falk back in 1938, and is actually the earliest known case of a masked character having white in the eye section of the mask to help hide their identity, an aesthetic that was lifted directly to Batman, Spider-Man, and host of other well-known comic book characters; ironically, the Phantom is actually pretty obscure stateside, but he's really popular over in India and parts of Africa, he even had limited runs in Marvel and DC publications at one point, and one of the Marvel runs was even turned into an animated series back in the 1990s, The Phantom 2040, but the rights to the Phantom currently not with any of the big names in the US, last I checked. Amusingly, around the same time the animated series was airing, The Phantom also got a live-action movie with Billy Zane in the title role.

    I think, depending on the iteration, Joker sees himself as the friendly rival to batman. A ying-yang kinda thing.
    I would like to see a comic that has them bein friends as kids, with the main ways they became who they are, then in the end they find out who each other is and instead of a possible fight to the death they just let each other go and its just the same batman vs joker we all love

    The Batman series is the most underrated Batman show ever known.
    The voice actor for Joker in the show is incredible and perfectly encapsulates Jokers overall personality. In the show he does way more twisted things then simple mind-bending. He traumatizes the people of Gotham regularly with the most articulate schemes.
    One time he created a Card gadget that trapped people in life-size playing cards. The only thing they could do in that state was witness their coming demise. Another time he used a Joker Puddy solution to transform detective Bennit into Clayface, not before subjecting him to hours of psychological torture of course. His Joker gas rather then outright kill someone actually just puts them in an unending coma where all their body can do is look forward and smile.

      If Batman threatened to reveal his own identity if the villains didn't cease their activities, Joker then targets all the other villains to keep the secret. Becoming Gothem's new protector. No, protector is the wrong word since he would wreck the other villains and hurt by standers in the process but it would then just be Batman and Joker, both prowling around, Joker keeping the other villains in check and Batman focused mostly just on Joker to stop him from going overboard.
