it's easy to mock the concept of batman's secret identity and think it's ridiculous that nobody would realize that he's bruce wayne but if some lady suddenly showed up late at night dressed in full military grade kevlar and started fighting crime in los angeles i wouldn't look at that and think "ah it's kylie jenner

you-got-it-capstar:

Same logic applies to Clark Kent tbh I wouldn't see Superman, the crazy powerful alien, zooming past me and go "i think he's secretly an award winning journalist"

the-swift-tricker: "it's a bird, it's a plane, it's...anderson cooper?!

appendingfic:

Me: "sees masked man fighting both crime and police corruption* Me: I have no idea who that is, but it is NOT a billionaire.

As someone who use to work at a restaurant near Tony's house. I never got the jokes about him not being recognized. Like sure he's an old dad now, but he still looks the same

Well it's because half his Twitter posts were about people not recognizing him. Even he had a skateboard. Or when they see his ID says Anthony Hawk.

There was a subreddit for it, so it became a semi known phenomenon /r/dontyouknowimtonyhawk
