I feel like the joke would've been easier to understand if the riddler said, "wait, Bruce?"

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 52 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's funny because his real name is Bruce Banner.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 23 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

thats the hulk youre thinking of Bruce Springsteen

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That's the boss. You're thinking about Bruce Campbell.

[–] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 17 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

That's the king. You're thinking of Bruce Willis.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

That guy whose hard to kill? You must be mistaken. The real Bruce is Bruce Springsteen.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Bruce Willys? That’s my shiiiiiiiiiit.

You’re thinking of Liam Neesons though

Just say it's because he got bruised from the punch. He can't read the speech bubble, can he?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 10 hours ago

The riddler is smart and seems like the type to enjoy word play. He wouldn't suspect "Brucein'" to be a, well, whatever you call a verbal typo. Like a speech impediment but when you randomly say something wrong. Especially from someone like Batman.

And so Batman temporarily adjusted his morals to Bruces morals and suddenly a little murder (as a treat) was ok.

When you're a billionaire, they let you do it!

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Keep hitting until Riddler forgets!

[–] nectar45@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 day ago

So THAT is how Riddler realized Batman was Bruce Wayne!

[–] Vari@lemm.ee 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

What would actually make Batman break his rule

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 15 hours ago

Nah, he'd just give him a permanent brain injury like everyone else

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I dont get it was is he punching robin?

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That's the Riddler; observe the question marks on the tie.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

Also the completely different color scheme.
