10. Every Robin

As should come a surprise to precisely no-one, every individual Robin has deciphered the secret identity of their mentor at some point or another in their point as his sidekick.

What is interesting, however, is how different the ways in which each Robin ends up discovering about Bruce Wayne. For some like Damian, the process is pretty much hand fed to them - as Batman’s son is told by Talia Al Ghul of who exactly his father is, and his subsequent ‘birthright’ as his heir.

On the other end of the spectrum, however, we have Tim Drake - the third Robin - who works out the identities of both Bruce Wayne and the first Robin, Dick Grayson, by recognising an acrobatics move that Tim remembered Grayson doing in his time as a professional acrobat.

While the various Robins learning about their Batdad is never exactly shocking, the different ways they manage to are genuinely effective in showing the different skills, backgrounds and personalities each member possesses.
