The weird thing is that (in FabNic's Road Home: Ra's Al Ghul one-shot) after viewing Vicki Vale's wall of photos where she had connected the dots from Bruce to virtually every other vigilante in Gotham - including his various sons/wards (and Oracle and Stephanie), Bruce remarked to himself how "easy" it all once when someone actually made the connections like Vicki had done. So what does he do - give everybody on the planet a chance to connect the dots too!

What is Bruce going to say: "Hey, look at my various aged sons/wards all of whom have black hair and could correspond the body types/ages of (the former) Nightwing, current Red Robin and new Robin. But they are not any of those guys - really. Also, if anybody has any old photos of Batman it's just a coincidence that we might look the same if you compare my chin/height to his and my age (35-ish) with the number of years Batman has been around and even though I'm now admitting I've been financing Batman since the beginning I am sooooooooo not him! Pinky swear to infinity!"

So we've gone from Batman being an urban legend less than a decade in ago the Bat-books ago to Morrison basically having Bruce winking/nodding at the world about him NOT being Batman.
