    Default Does Lois know that Bruce Wayne is Batman?

    While I was reading Hush Vol. 1 Lois said "Have fun being all tights and flights. And remember DESPITE how HE behaves when he's... y'know-- That you two ARE friends."

    is that her talking about her flirty relationship with bruce or her saying when he's Batman?

    I can't see Superman being the kind of guy to keep secrets from Lois, and since Batman sure as hell knows Clark's secret and about his relationship with her, I think it's pretty likely that Lois knows who Bruce is.

    That said, can anyone point to a comic where she found out?

    This is an interessting question. In the superman issue, where Lois and Batman steal the kryptonite ring from the white house, Lois does not know that B=BW.
    In none of the superman issues i have read since this issue the secret is revealed to Lois.
    But in Hush she knows it.

    Batman found out Clarks secret a long time ago.

    I donīt think that superman told her without bruces permission. Clark maybe has no secrets about his life, but i don`t think, that he tells her everything. Its Batmans secret identity and Lois has no right to know it without bruces permission.

    in the recent adventures of Superman

    Lois told superman he can't live in fear "That bruces thing"

    So she knows. And really it kind of convient for her to know. They can watch each other backs. Bats could use someone big reporter helping him. Other then Clark that is.

    on another note connected to lois, when did bruce buy The Daily Planet? It makes sense since he has connections just about everywhere, but anyone know when he bought em or did he inherit the company?

    Every family member and loved one of a superhero knows Batman is Bruce Wayne.

    Where is this told?

    1. Not every superhero knows that BW=Batman. Batman revealed his iD to some JLA-members, but not to every superheroe, not even to every member of the JLA.

    2. I think the superheroes, who know the secret ID, respect the secret id of batman. The identity of Batman is of no concern to the family members.
    Do you really think that plastic man tells his son the secret identity of batman? Even the parents of Clark Kent do not know batmans secret identity.

    Perhaps he wasn't referring to a specific book but to DC's editorial policy these days? I mean, hell, Green Arrow knew who Robin was as did Jean, an ex-wife of the Atom who shouldn't even have known Bruce was Batman. It seems like these days Batman's secret identity is common knowledge.

    When Batman met up with Lois before their white house robbery, he stated that he'd already assumed that Lois knew, telling her "the JLA has no secrets" (this was just after Bruce and Clark decided they all needed to be more open about their identities). So I have no problem assuming that either Batman himself would have told her just after the adventure was over or that she would mention this conversation to Clark and that Clark would then tell her knowing that Bruce had made it clear he didn't have a real problem with it.

    As for Bruce owning the planet, this kinda started once Lex sold the Planet back to Perry White for a dollar. Perry had the planet, but still needed a financial backer. So every few issues, we would see hiim talking to some unknown party who was now in charge. In the issue where Lois and Batman broke into the White House, Perry announced to everyone that Wayne owned the Planet and Bruce being the secret Orson Welles fan we all know he must be, repeated those immortal words "I thought it would be fun to run a newspaper."

    I think it's clear she talking about Batman. Speaking of flirty behaviour. Does Lois do that with all men or is she trying to make in roads with the boss.

    Neither, really. Lois has never shown interest, feigned or otherwise, since becoming involved with Clark.

    They do now, anyway. It was never actually shown, but the current status quo seems to be that all the heroes know Batman is Bruce, and through them so do their loved ones. If the Atom's ex-wife knows that Robin is Tim Drake, and Cyborg is on a first-name basis with Alfred, then we can say without reservation that Lois Lane and Linda Park and so on know Batman is Bruce.

    Cyborg knows it, because he knows that Robin/Nightwing = Dick. Green arrow is also not new in the super heroe business.

    But i really donīt think that every family member knows. And the thing with atoms ex wife: I donīt want to start with the lack of logic in IC, therefore lets forget it.

    And as far as i remember in a superman issue (and it think it was published not long ago) superman parents said to Clark, that Batmans parents are sure proud of him. That shows that they do not know.

    I think if really the heroes would tell it to their families, we would see a very angry Batman going after the heroes and scaring the hell out of them, because they have not the right to tell his secret idetity to their families.

    Here's a question: how would you give Bruce his secret ID back? I mean so many people know, it leaves him vulnerable. Bruce would never do that himself (IC, anyone?) but let's say some being decided to do that. How?
