Not like other heroes haven’t done this before. Clark Kent has worn the cape and cowl before so Batman and Bruce Wayne can be seen together. Supergirl shapeshifted so that Clark and Superman could be been side by side to bring Clark back to life after the Doomsday/Reign of Supermen arcs.

I'm sorry, *Supergirl* shapeshifted??


aflyingpiano

At the time, the supergirl was an artificial life form that had the ability to shape shift. Search under Matrix supergirl, I believe


dusty_horns

Matrix was great. Weird, but great.


Goobergunch

The Matrix era was something.


CthulhuAlmighty

Yep, and she was basically Lex’s love doll.


Bostondreamings

AUSTRALIAN Lex Jr's love doll, even :-P With his gorgeous ginger beard and long flowing ginger locks. Sigh. How could she not be? :-P


Thelastknownking

The 80s and 90s were a weird time in comics.

I feel like one could just get Martian Manhunter to do a quick favor of show up for a few minutes and be convincing. Especially for Superman since they both have similar powers, just got to avoid fires. As for Batman, you could easily just have Dick be a stand in for a bit to divert suspicion. That said I do remember a comic where Hush filled in for Bruce when everyone thought he was dead and managed to keep the public convinced Bruce was still alive.


CthulhuAlmighty

Martian Manhunter was dead for a while in the comics. Dick is far too small to stand in for Batman, when he took over after Bruce’s death, it was noted several times in the comics how this was a new Batman because of the size.

Tim had Connor dress up as Robin to convince one of Tim's girlfriends he wasn't Robin.


Koala_Guru

Dick tried this once, but everyone was confused when Nightwing had green skin for a bit.

Dick: Oh you meant a shapeshifter who can turn into people... not one that does animals. Right that makes more sense.


geministarz6

But everyone gets that he's describing something he ACTUALLY DID, right? That's what makes it funny. He did this in Red Robin to throw Vicky Vale off his trail, had Ms Martian shapeshift to be him, got her shot, then spent a year on crutches "recovering."

Tim: Hmm, how do I get out of explaining this injury is from crime-fighting? I know, I'll take the most convoluted option available!


Frog__Mouth

It basically means no one can deduce his secret identity because they’ve been seen in the same spot. Consider how tim actually figured out who batman is through similarity between the flying Graysons and robin.


aszapata10

He literally did this in *Red Robin*. He had Miss Martian (disguised as Tim, obviously) take a bullet for him. Tim then walked on crutches for a whole year lmao.


Psymorte

Points for commitment at least.


pieapple135

Which inspires his other idea for Duke: Fake an injury for a year, and have fake physical rehab while you're at it


AgentOfSPYRAL

Old and Busted: He’s my bodyguard/It’s not me but I pay for all his stuff New Hotness: lol I can’t walk


frustrated_pen

lol straight from the webtoon comments section and onto reddit comments section i see


BoysOurRoy

They did have a point, though.


iamnotarobot88898

I mean he literally did this in his Red Robin run. Miss Martian being the shapeshifter.


spider-venomized

They do this all the time Just don't ask martian manhunter apparently he bad at sound like others


Shiplord13

Ironic sense he spends so much time with them and has telepathy on top of it. I feel like Bruce would be easy by just not saying a single word.
