  • Okay, people, it's common knowledge that a hero with a secret identity almost always needs a good disguise.

  • Unfortunately, not all disguises are good.

  • I'm Jocelyn, the intern.

  • I do all the research nobody else wants to straight from the desk of death battle.

  • So disguises are important.

  • The I mean, Bruce Wayne can simply go out fighting crime without the bat suit.

  • Right?

  • Otherwise, it be villains city up in Wayne Manor.

  • Heck, it isn't until he dons the suit that he actually becomes the Batman.

  • And the bat suit is a great suit.

  • As faras disguises go, it nearly covers him from head to toe.

  • It effectively augments his natural shape, making it harder for people to accurately depict his height, weight, hair color and so on.

  • Good suit is good, but what about Robin?

  • More specifically, Dick Grayson, How does his disguise measure up like a short kid trying to get on a roller coaster?

  • That's how I mean, what the H E double hockey sticks was Bruce thinking you have a kid who is literally on the front page of newspapers in Gotham in a gymnast leotardo with his stupid dead parents.

  • How do you think we should go about masking his identity, Bruce.

  • Oh, I don't know.

  • Maybe just wear the exact same dopey leotards, stick a tiny mask to his face and throw a cape on the boy.

  • Ah, yeah, sure, that'll work.

  • And then we'll gallop band him around town where he can beat up bad guys with the skills, confidence and reckless abandon that on Leah recently orphan trapeze ist would have.

  • You know, it's kind of hard to strike fear into the criminals of the underworld when you're showing more thigh than Jessica Rabbit.

  • How did some clever Gotham citizen not pick up on that?

  • Speaking of citizens, I'm pretty sure almost every civilian in Green Arrows, hometown of Silver City is a moron.

  • I mean, come on, people.

  • Can you not put two and two together?

  • It's for your gumbos.

  • Okay, let me break it down.

  • You live in a town with Green Arrow, a superhero that has very distinctive facial hair and a costume that doesn't hide much.

  • Now, in the exact same town lives a rich, self employed, ripped local celebrity with the same distinctive facial hair.

  • You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes, for Christ sake.

  • Curious George could probably crack this case, and he throws his own poop.

  • But there is one disguise so obvious yet effective.

  • It's been used by countless heroes and villains.

  • I'm talking about the trench coat and hat.

  • One only needs to apply these items to blend perfectly into fictional society.

  • Take, for instance, Rafael, a mutated anthropomorphic turtle he can easily take to the streets by donning this social cloak of invisibility.

  • Uh, look at his feet.

  • Look at his face.

  • You know, somebody's got a pass by and be like, Oh, snap!

  • That was a giant turtle dressed like Dick Tracy with that Was that look like sort of a big title in a trench coat?

  • Or how about Ben Grimm, commonly known as the thing?

  • He's?

  • Well, you know, he's a giant rock monster.

  • You're telling me that even with the oh so cleverly added sunglasses, he looks normal.

  • Surely there's got to be something out there that won't be able to slip by these people with this covert costume, right?

  • I mean, it's not like Godzilla could just throw these things on and be able to cruise the town with the No.

  • Come on, people, Come on, Well, guys and gals, that's all for today.

  • But don't think those air the Onley dumb disguises out there.

  • Trust me, there's plenty.

  • In fact, let me know who you think has the dumbest disguise in the comments.

  • Oh, and while you're doing that, don't forget to, like, share and watch one of these other wonderful videos.

  • You know, all that jazz.

Okay, people, it's common knowledge that a hero with a secret identity almost always needs a good disguise.
