    I love this comics page so much

    For anyone not in on the joke, the gold lasso is magically enforcing total honesty as they introduce themselves to each-other.

    It forces Superman to admit to both of his private names given to him by each of his sets of parents.

    And for the Batman, “Bruce Wayne” is just a lie he tells people in between doing Batman stuff, so he just reintroduces himself as Batman.

      There was a similar thing in Batman Beyond where someone was playing with Bruce’s mind, trying to make him think he is psychotic. Bruce knew that he wasn’t going crazy simply because those voices were referring to him as Bruce and that’s not what he refers to himself as in his head.
