I think this may be the final bit of Batman New York Comic Con gossip to come out of the show; at least that has made it to me. Because earlier this year, the world forgot that Superman was Clark Kent. In the DC Universe, that is. Lex Luthor pointed the world's minds so that a) everyone forgot who didn't have psychic defences or who was at Smallville farm at the time. And b) if anyone remembers, their heart stops. And the Superman secret, which was taken out of the box when Brian Bendis took over the books, was carefully put back in again, once Bendis had left.

The Joker War was predicated upon the idea that the Joker might just let everyone know that Batman was Bruce Wayne. He's been a lot more slapdash with that secret, even Tim Drake worked it out. And as Batman's family has grown and grown, more and more people know Batman is Bruce Wayne. Heroes, villains, the word is getting out there.

Well, Bleeding Cool gets the word that at the conclusion of Gotham War, as a meteor threatens to hit Gotham, in all the confusion, the word gets out… to someone who really has no business knowing it. And it's all Catwoman's fault. Is this the reason she has to leave Gotham?

In this week's Red Hood #2 part of the Gotham War, has a maskless Jason Todd captured by the Joker. Or, at least a Joker, there are three of them now. At least.

While in Detective Comics #1075, the police are starting to put things together as well…

Well, I mean, they do call them detectives for a reason…
