Is the Batman actually Bruce Wayne?

[Grim Reaper]

I have come up with a theory that has some merritt to it however there are still some pieces of the puzzle that don't quite fit in. I believe that the Batman's true identity is actually the other character known as "Bruce Wayne".

1: Bruce Wayne and Batman never meet each other, nor appear in the same place. While this isn't evidence enough, it's worth considering.

2: Bruce Wayne and Batman also have similar physical features. Both appear to be around the same height, have the same build, and even some similarities from their facial structure although the Batman's entire face is never shown.

3: Bruce Wayne and Batman share the same voice actor. This doesn't have to mean anything as studios may re-use voice actors for multiple characters, but it's worth considering.

Ridiculous
Bruce Wayne is a decadent playboy who's never been seen with Batman only because he's too busy sleeping with different ladies every night (while Batman is fighting crime every night).

Physical features... no one's really looked at Batman's physical features because he only appears at night wearing dark outfits / capes and whatnot that's designed to make it difficult to discern his form (plus the entire lurking in the shadow).

Same voice actor... well, this is a video game version, and there are things like budget to consider. If you can save a few dollars using the same voice actor, why not?

You're forgetting hush.

Nah, everyone knows Bruce Wayne and Batman are different people. The reason they are never shown together is because Bruce just likes to party and stuff like rich people do and he has no reason being around Batman. Such a silly theory. The similarities are just such a stretch. Similar structures of the body is just a mere coincidence.

This is some serious tinfoil hat stuff. You think a billionaire would lift a finger to do anything but ring a bell for his butler. Every time you see Wayne he's hugged up with some gold digger. People like him are lawless. They do anything they want and the police turn a blind eye. I'm sure if you take a good look at Wayne's books you'll find a ton of "discrepancies."

It's crazy how you don't understand who Batman is behind the mask. I'm sure Batman is a the type of guy who grew up average. His work ethic says blue collar all the way. Plus he cares about keeping crime out of Gotham. Police don't like him cause he's bad for business. He makes them look bad because he's not on the take like a lot of them are. He's clearly a neighborhood guy with morals.

Studios were trying to save money when this game came out lol. Of course it makes sense for them to use the same voice actors for certain things sometimes. I remember this other video game that did that a whole bunch too.

Hope you're taking your meds because this is 100% delusional.

Using the same (voice) actor for both a mystery character and for one of the possible suspects is sometimes done as a red herring to trip up people who try to guess their identity by looking up the credits in IMDB. So they might not have used the same voice actor to be cheap, but to intentionally throw you off. Which means that their sharing a voice actor might actually even be a point of evidence against them being the same character.

I thought this was an elaborate joke. My mistake!
