Batman isn’t an easy egg to crack. He’s notoriously guarded and will only reveal important information – even to his closest confidants – when it’s completely necessary. So, when Wonder Woman tried to find out who he was with her trusty Lasso of Truth, Batman gave the perfect answer to his real-identity: He’s Batman!
Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth is the Themysciran answer to a lie detector. Anyone wrapped up in the lasso will answer questions with truth to Diana Prince. While Wonder Woman has used the lasso for some ridiculous reasons, generally, it’s used as a truth-telling device, a weapon, and to maneuver when needed. In one short story, Wonder Woman tried to use her lasso on Batman, and while she got the truth, his response was hilariously perfect.
In the story “And Then There Were Three,” from Wonder Woman Annual #1 (2017) by Greg Rucka, Nicola Scott, Romulo Fajardo Jr. and Jodi Wynne, Wonder Woman’s first appearance to the world is retold. Superman and Batman both see her for the first time and head to an undisclosed location to Nevada to track her down. While the two heroes have a playful (at least from Clark’s perspective) conversation Diana shows up and asks them why they are spying on her. Superman and Batman can’t figure out what language Wonder Woman is speaking which compels Diana to get them to hold the lasso so they can understand each other. Wonder Woman reveals she’s Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Queen Hippolyta. Superman reveals he’s Clark Kent aka Kal El. As for Batman, he responds with just “Batman.”
Technically, Batman is telling the truth. He is Batman, after all. Superman asks “seriously, that’s your name?” to which Batman hilariously responds “shut up.” Even with the Lasso of Truth, Batman keeps his real identity guarded. Considering he probably spends more time as Batman than he does Bruce Wayne, his answer is truthful. His Batman persona has become his true persona. Hence, he is telling the truth. The question is, if he wasn’t wearing his costume, would he still given the same response?
The story ends with Batman lamenting that he “hates magic,” while refusing a ride from Superman. Batman and Superman figure out the Lasso of Truth wasn’t a trick and that Wonder Woman was the real deal. It’s a great retelling of the Trinity’s first meeting and perfectly encapsulates all three Justice Leaguer’s personalities. Batman is Batman and that’s the absolute truth.
