It's funny because his real name is Bruce Banner.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

thats the hulk youre thinking of Bruce Springsteen

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's the boss. You're thinking about Bruce Campbell.

[–] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's the king. You're thinking of Bruce Willis.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bruce Willys? That’s my shiiiiiiiiiit.

You’re thinking of Liam Neesons though

No, that's a japanese car.

That guy whose hard to kill? You must be mistaken. The real Bruce is Bruce Springsteen.

So THAT is how Riddler realized Batman was Bruce Wayne!

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Keep hitting until Riddler forgets!

And so Batman temporarily adjusted his morals to Bruces morals and suddenly a little murder (as a treat) was ok.

When you're a billionaire, they let you do it!

Just say it's because he got bruised from the punch. He can't read the speech bubble, can he?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

The riddler is smart and seems like the type to enjoy word play. He wouldn't suspect "Brucein'" to be a, well, whatever you call a verbal typo. Like a speech impediment but when you randomly say something wrong. Especially from someone like Batman.

I dont get it was is he punching robin?

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's the Riddler; observe the question marks on the tie.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Also the completely different color scheme.

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I feel like the joke would've been easier to understand if the riddler said, "wait, Bruce?"

[–] Vari@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What would actually make Batman break his rule

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

Nah, he'd just give him a permanent brain injury like everyone else
