One would think that Superman would understand the importance of secret identities considering back in the day Lois would try to figure his out every issue. However, it sometimes seemed like Superman only pretended to be Clark Kent so he could make friends at the Daily Planet that he could be mean to as Superman.

But for heroes like Batman, their identities are integral to their heroism. If there's no super-rich Bruce Wayne, Batman can't afford all those wonderful toys. But by now you know how Superman treats his friends. Superman will not only gleefully bring the press to your secret hideout, but he will smash through the wall and probably stick you with the repair bill. It doesn€™t even matter if you€™re busy.

This could be happening while Batman and Robin are creating an antidote to a fear toxin that Scarecrow just unleashed on every elementary school in Gotham, as evidenced by the chemistry experiments they're conducting on the cover. Or maybe the Dynamic Duo is trying to create synthetic kryptonite to shut Superman's identity-revealing mouth once and for all. Would you blame them?
