@wallhackio there's an episode of one of the DC cartoons (the ones that spun off of Batman TAS) where Batman is hearing voices and he figures out they're not actually coming from his own head because they refer to him as Bruce.
Batman calls himself Batman in his head.
@The_T that's why I am leaning toward "Batman is trans"
@wallhackio ohh, great, another trans character whose transness is tied to childhood trauma... /s
@wallhackio @The_T i suppose this could also be evidence of batman being plural and just knowing batman was the one fronting
@wallhackio @The_T (i voted trans but i am increasingly leaning towards plural as i ponder it)
@Satsuma @wallhackio @The_T I'm still going with nom de guerre, with knowledge that he has kept the identities (vaguely) separate.
@aschmitz @Satsuma @wallhackio I mean, literally what is more trans than having a name you go by in public and a real name you have only in your head
@The_T @Satsuma @wallhackio Eh, he uses the separate identities even with the same person at times, even in private (e.g. with Commissioner Gordon), he has no apparent problem with either identity, and retains apparent full knowledge of both at all times.
@aschmitz @The_T @Satsuma @wallhackio in BTAS Kevin Conroy always purrfurms Bruce in very puffurmative-sounding ways so i really do think “Bruce isn’t the real him” was a thing the show was deliberately going fur
Batman Beyond maybe complicates it; old!Batman gives way less of a fuck and doesn’t really seem to change his voice much from what i remember of it
