And, well, we know the DCU is full of bad decisions. I haven't really read that many stories with a younger incarnation of Dick in there, but I did like the development of how the two work together in Dark Victory. Loeb, for all his faults, nailed that, to me.
Still, I think - even with my lack of knowledge aside - Nolan's choice to have Blake figure Bruce out wasn't a particularly bad one; In-universe, Bruce isn't particularly brilliant at hiding his ID, and even if Blake hadn't known immediately that Bruce was Batman, the fact that Batman disappeared as Wayne became more hermit-like must have rung a few alarms, especially given Blake is portrayed as one of the few cops with some common sense in the movie.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
