cant bruce let his 5 o clock shadow grow a bit when he makes public appearances? i always thought it was retarded his chin was exposed and nobody could figure out his identity thanks to that
>>150233211its hard to see in the dark
>>150233137Pretty certain either of them would be wearing hidden Bat-heels.
>>150233137why does he look korean
Why is he chinese.

>>150233137Don't be a retard. No way a playboy like Bruce Wayne is risking his life cosplaying as a superhero.
>>150233299>>150233316bruce is wasian
>>150233375The Waynes are actually called the Wangs.
>>150233375I thought he was half JewishI didn't realize the Wayne half was Asian
>>150233137The Batman had an episode about that.>evil robot deduces that Bruce Wayne is Batman>simply because there's no one else in Gotham with the same gender, race, build and approximate age that also has the resources to be Batman>somehow nobody else figured this out and it's treated as a super genius calculation by the robot
>>150233137Unless they're really extraordinary (like Absolute Batman being an absolute fridge of a man) you can't really identify people just by how in shape they are, especially since the bat-suit is armored and realistically adds some extra bulk. Besides nobody would believe some billionaire socialite was secretly fighting crime by punching people on the street.
>>150233299>>150233316Name ONE superhero that wouldn't be improved by making them (half) Chinese.You can't.
>>150233442Maybe this is unpopular but I wouldnt be broken up if some Bruce Wayne interpretation was hapa. It would at least prevent him and Clark Kent from being totally identical. While we're at it, make Superman one of those handsome country boys with brown-red hair.

>>150233442Cassandra Cain by dint of already being half chinese. And perfect.
>>150233392lol>>150233411it would work desu
>>150233411Which writer was responsible for the half-jew thing? Because it was always that Kate Kane's mom was jewish and her dad (Martha's brother) converted. Now apparently the whole Kane family became jewish by osmosis.
Works really well for christian bale. I still think he was the best bruce, mostly because you never seem christian bale as bruce somehow. But this has more to do with the actor, for some reason this guy is so good at portray whatever character he doing that you never make the connection as being the actor, just the character. is a very odd effect and I find really hard to explain.All the other batmans? you can tell right alway is whoever actor they are supposed to be, specially the sparklingly vampire. And it has nothing to do with they being bad actors, the vampire guy is a pretty good actor, is just Christian and his mind bending powers of just becoming someone else. I imagine batman does something similar with his asperger powers.In universe is probably saying that Mr beast or bruce wayne is Q anon or whatever. you would sound more insane than anything. that helps.
>>150233584In Judaism it's determined by whether or not your mother was a jew.
Why is there so much sentiment in the internet lately trying so had to make Bruce Wayne Asian? His name is Bruce WAYNE, NOT Bruce Watanabe. He drives the Batmobile to reach the crime scene that he will investigate, not to dock with a giant robot that he summons from the Bat Cave so he can fight kaiju sized Clayface. Fuck off.
>>150233726Lately? between that chinese batman short and batman samurai, all the ninja stuff, all the asian stuff. the weird trashy comics where he is a goth teen and the japanese comic and his occasional mecha depending of who is fighting I think you are 40 years to late to complain about this sorta of thing.He does work better as a white dude because Wayne is supposed to be old money, tho.
>>150233726Because generational wealth doesnt really exist in America nowadays, just China and other nations they fled to
>>150233137just because he eats bats doesn't mean he's batman
>>150233887Kek. You motherfucker.
>>150233887>covid was 6 years ago
>>150233137>>150233418why would batman need to be rich? He could be funded by some secret government program or some rich private donors. There is no need for the man himself to be wealthy. In fact the logical assumption would be that batman is some kind of ex military or glowie dude or something, supported by the wealthy elite but not BEING a wealthy elite.
>>150233939That's why we have Absolute Batman.
>>150233939someone should have told rocksteady that the beyond suit should look like a second skin
>>150233137This has already been covered in the comics. In short, they all know. Every single member of the rogue's gallery has figured out it is Bruce. But they never tell anyone because Bruce is the only thing that makes Batman human. Bruce Wayne does not kill or use a gun. Batman would gun down the entire lot and not think twice. So they respect his secret identity because it's literally the difference between life and death.
>>150233467Bruce Wayne's characterization benefits from being old New England money, which necessitates being Anglo-Saxon.
>>150234075>Bruce Wayne's characterization benefits from being old New England moneyWhy? Gotham is Newark NJ, not Providence RI.

>>150234669>what is asteroids?
>>150234669He sleeps during the day whenever he's not making a brief appearance as Bruce Wayne and takes micronaps when he doesn't do that.
>>150233392Funny enough, I know an Asian drag king who does Wayne Newton covers under the name Wang Newton. She's neat.>>150233411Depends on which Bruce Wayne. AFAIK, only the one that disappeared during Crisis (or Flashpoint? I forget), before the start of the Batwoman comics is /potentially/ Jewish, and full Jewish at that if so. Batwoman is Jewish. Her father is Jewish. Her mother is Jewish. Her father is Batman's mother's brother IE Martha Wayne nee Kane. That means that unless he's a convert, which most people appreciate he is, she is also Jewish. Jewish mother = Batman is full Jewish, too by halakha. In that continuity, his son, if he had one, would be half Jewish, though. To put it into perspective, this Bruce can enter the mikveh. Damian/Damien (forgot which spelling), if he exists, would have to convert first.In other continuities, Thomas was a Prot of some kind and Martha a Catholic. I don't know which, if either, faith Batman leans toward but regardless, he isn't Jewish in those continuities and they are the majority of them.>>150233584Again, depends on continuity. The original Batgirl, Betty (or Bette) Kane was explicitly Yehudi since her appearance in the 50s or 60s. She's Bruce's maternal cousin.However! /We don't know who her parents are/. With the same surname as Martha's maiden name, it's assumed her father was Martha's brother, particularly since she and Bruce share a grandfather in Roderick Kane (which is not a very Jewish name). What we do know is that the original Batwoman, Kathy Kane, isn't her mother in current continuity. Kathy was never a Jew in any reality and, iinm, was once married to a Nazi. But she married into the Kanes, by way of Martha's other brother (not Jacob, the current Batwoman's father; forgot his name).tl;drWhoever established the Kate Kane Batwoman something like twenty years ago is whoever it was who made Batman /potentially/ half Jewish.
>>150234907And by the way, this means Martha has at least three brothers, Jacob, Kathy's husband and whoever jizzed in Betty's mom.
>>150234869An ancient video game.
>>150234947And yet the butler raised the orphan
>>150234907Sticky thing is, Jewish Surnames get goofy thanks to Matrilinealism, and Jews willingly changing their names to avoid antisemitism (especially during WW2). Heck. Bob Kane is Jewish and his name isn't that far off from Roderick. As for her marrying a Nazi? Boy, if only the realities of Nazism and Judaism were that clear cut. I could absolutely see a Nazi marrying a Jewish girl either to protect her from the camps or using the camps as leverage to get a girl who isn't interested in him to marry him.
>>150233137I'm half sure a lot of continuities make it so most people think Wayne is either a spoiled manchild, a cold hearted businessman or bits of both. >B-But how does he fun himself?!Arkham Knight explained it best, i bet most people think Batman is actually a government agent/police super soldier.
>>150233887Bruce Wayne doesnt have ebola though.
>>150234907Betty was never explicitly Jewish in the 50s/60s. She was a generic blonde girl. I've read all her appearances, post scans or you're wrong.Kathy Kane was never Betty's mother, always her Aunt. They were blood related in the golden age, Kathy being a Kane through marriage is a modern conceit introduced by Morrison when introducing Otto Netz, Spyral, and Leviathan.
>>150235497>I could absolutely see a Nazi marrying a Jewish girl either to protect her from the camps or using the camps as leverage to get a girl who isn't interested in him to marry him.Sure, but regardless, unlike Kate and Bette/Betty, Kathy was never explicitly or even implicitly stated to be Jewish afaik. And yeah about Jewish surnames. Problem there is that in the English speaking world, everyone assumes Ashkenazi surnames are the only Jewish ones in existence. Ashkenazi surnames trend to be occupational IE what job the family had. Goldschmidt. Schneider. Feldsher. Zimmerman. Zuckerman. Etc etc etcMy mother's family are italkim IE Italian rite Jews. Italki minhag is distinct from all other forms of Judaism and our surnames tend to be distinctly Italian, but usually from place names. Di Roma. Di Rieti. d'Ancona. Da Pisa. Di Spoleto. Etc etc etcTo an American, my surname certainly identifies me as Italian. To an Italian, it might identify me as a Jew, but many non-Jewish Italians also have toponymic surnames so it's not a certainty. Difference is, we were the first Jewish community to use surnames because Italy was using them since Roman times and we've been in Italy for over 2000 years. As "non-natives" of the peninsula, we were usually given surnames based on what city we were recently expelled from lmaoSomeone with the last name di Napoli whose family lives in Turin has a very strong chance of being descended of Jews expelled from Naples long ago, wound up in Turin and were given that surname when entering the city.>>150235273They could have left that in a directive that in the case of their death, Alfred would play daddy to Batbrat.>>150236530Love that explanation.
>>150236942>Kathy Kane was never Betty's motherWhich the post said. I didn't mean to imply that she was ever her mother. We know she never was. The first time Bette mentions Kathy, she refers to her as her aunt and we know she married into the Kanes. That's how I know that Martha has at least three brothers.>Otto NetzlolThat's the Nazi husband, right? lmao
>>150236947Oh, and one of the first Jews to live in America? His name was Aaron Lopez. Lopez! An American would expect someone with that surname to be a taco-munching fajita-eater, not someone who noshes on matzo.
>>150233299>>150233375>>150233392>>150233137Brucie Wayne was only Malaysian in that one DC YA graphic novel, OP. He's also never been 6'5" except in the universe where Darkseid jizzed all over crime alley so that when Martha and Thomas fucked, Batgod Grew Up Gud.
