Isn't it about time he started thinking about what
sort of persona he should adopt to deflect suspicion from
his vigilante identity? As a kid, he was mostly under the
radar, but as an adult and functional member of society,
he'll be subject to more scrutiny.
Therefore I have taken the liberty of compiling a list of persona's he could use for social camouflage along with the pro's and con's of each.
1: The Playboy: Very popular with your upperclass superhero.
pro's: Not a lot of responsibility. Nice clothes, Fast Cars and faster women.
con's: Do we really need another playboy superhero?
2: The "Guy" : This one was pioneered by the male Titans when they outgrew the kid sidekick role. The concept: "No way. Dick Grayson is not Nightwing. This is not the mind that took down Blockbuster. This is the mind that got the chicken quesadilla stuck to the ceilling.
pro's :You get to just be yourself. It's hassle free.
con's : When your girlfriend sends you a priority transmission, all your guy friends keep doing that "Whipcrack" thing with thier hands.
3: "The Rube" also known as "the Smallville" This one was first made popular by Clark Kent, Big Blue himself. No one ever suspects the farmboy. After all, a urbanite is by definition smarter and more sophisticated than a hick. You couldn't possibly be hiding anything from them.
pro's: The disguise is so good you can carry it off with a pair of glasses.
con's: Your co-workers tend to talk very slowly and very loudly to you.
4:" The Woody" How many funny, neurotic, intellectual, Jewish Hypochondriac superhero's are there? None! It's a wide open market!
pro's: For some inexplicable reason, the women will love you.
con's: The "Woody" and the Fop in the same party....not a pretty site.
5: "The Keanu" Hide your keen intellect and martial prowess behind the mannerisms of a stoned surfer!
pro's: Since it's Gotham, you won't actually have to learn to surf.
con's: You don't get to be cool, kick-ass Matrix Keanu, you get to go on Tim Drakes Bogus Journey.
6: "The Hugh Grant" A little like the playboy, you get to be charming and irresponsible, and witty. No'one will ever believe you're capable of manly, decisive action.
pro's: Very popular with the ladies.
con's: Just forget about your self-respect. You are Always wrong. Get used to apologizing. A lot.
7: "The Trekkie" Another new one. No one will believe you can fight your way out of a wet paper sack. Also, it doesn't matter if someone recognizes you in your uniform, because your Darth Vader armor, and Captain Kirk "season one" outfits are equally authentic looking.
pro's: ........You are Lord of the Dungeon Masters?
con's: Dating.....uh-uh Your a "Steriotypical" Trekkie.
8:"It's raining men....""Sorry Batman, but I'm filling in for Zorro down at "Beefcakes" tonight." Hey, it's a living.
And it explains being in good shape. And, if you get recognized in uniform, you can just say "So you found out about my night job, Go ahead and Yuk it up, but if you'll excuse me, Robin the Man Wonder has a bachellorette party.
pro's: Well.....Cass and Steph seem enthusiastic.
con's. Your friends will never, ever, ever let you live it down. That, and sometimes the break-away costume breaks away at awkward moments, saving the mayors wife from a long fall, fighting poison ivy, and her...poison ivy, it's awful.
Well, that's it for now.
