8. The One Where Batman Lacks Subtlety But Gets Away With It

I totally get that billionaires don€™t make a habit of considering other people€™s opinion or care about them at all, but doesn€™t it seem strange that no one notices the downright weird behavior of Bruce Wayne?

In this strange world where noone notices the most blatant or notice-worthy behaviour, it€™s apparently okay to take an entire ballet company on a boat trip and then abandon them with your elderly butler Alfred, after presumably hinting at some great partying when you wooed them onto your boat. Party promises that Alfred wouldn't be able to deliver on, we imagine. This is apparently such non-suspicious behaviour that Wayne can just take off into the ocean on his jet and none of the girls even raise an eyebrow.

And then, when The Joker crashes the fundraiser held in Harvey€™s honor, Bruce hurries to change into his Bat-suit, attracting the attentions of an amorous couple nearby, the female half of which thanking God that he has "a panic room." This is not a panic room - it is a secret entrance to his Bat-tunnels in the house, where he can suit and armour up, and yet Bruce seems pretty much unfazed that the couple have seen him go in there, and that it is monumentally coincidental that Batman then suddenly appears without having to break in.

Thankfully, the couple either simply go back to their improbable sex, or were never able to put the glaringly obvious bits of the puzzle together, because they kept everything to themselves.
