10 Truths We Don't Want To Admit About The Dark Knight Rises

6. Catwoman Should Have Instantly Figured Out Batman's Identity

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK056dWK7ts Given how smart and resourceful Selina Kyle aka Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) is, it's pretty absurd that she couldn't realise Batman's true identity sooner. After all, once she's stolen Bruce's fingerprints from his safe, Batman makes it clear that he's concerned about his good buddy, and given the already suspicious coincidence of Batman and Bruce's exile (as well as their triumphant returns), would it not be exceptionally simple for even a comatose patient to realise that Batman's just trying to save his own hide? She finally realises when she sends Batman head-first into the lion's den to save herself, with Bane loudly booming, "Let us not stand on ceremony Mr. Wayne", and in case there was any confusion about him referring to another guy with the same surname, Bane goes on to refer to him as Bruce, before snapping his back and ripping his mask off. I'd say that's pretty definite. Still, Hathaway's shocked expression is sort of hilarious on accident, if only because it should have been blindingly obvious from the way he was talking earlier.
