I feel like it's a story element with a lot of potential since with the kind of persona Bruce Wayne projects, discovering that he's Batman should be like discovering that Perez Hilton is a superhero. Not exactly what you're looking for, but Mark Waid had some fun with everyone knowing Matt Murdock was Daredevil but him still publically denying it.   (Not sure on issue numbers, but it's from Waid's first run on Daredevil)

Vincent posted:The one in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon where Flash and Lex Luthor swap bodies. Lex goes and unmasks himself saying "Well, at least I'll know who Flash is" and doesn't recognize him. Which makes sense. Why would a billionaire super-villain from metropolis recognize the face of a random dude from Keystone. There was also the Superman story where Lex programs a supercomputer to figure out who Superman really is, and when the machine tells him, "Clark Kent," Lex immediately decides something must have gone wrong because no way would Superman ever go around pretending to be some nobody reporter.

IIRC, in Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter took his mask off for Black Cat, whereupon she immediately freaked the hell out because the dashing, clever, sexy superhero she was panting for turned out to be a pimply high-school dork.

That one's a classic and does some nice things to establish Lex's character (or at least that version of it).

In Bendis' run he sued the publisher who outed him and either won or it was settled out of court with an admission of guilt by the publisher, I don't quite remember. I need to get around to finishing Brubaker's run, there might be something in there about it.

It's never explicitly said to have been sex and could have just as easily been a massage or any number of other things. Is there commentary backing it up?

I need the producer on tape saying "they had sex" before I stop being an apologist for a fictional rape. Those are the goalposts, now get to them.

As much as I hate to be the internet dingus trying to justify his statement that two animated characters in a children's television show we're dirty sex-havers, here's the evidence and you can judge for yourself: Scene 1: quote:Tala: Rest in here, darling. Scene 2: quote:Tala enters hanging on Lex/Flash's shoulder. So, yeah, maybe I'm the idiot pervert and they were just playing pattycake. And maybe the joker was too stressed to ride his motorcycle. I feel dumb for even engaging in this.

Toshimo posted:Except for the consent issues. If the issue around consent turns on the idea that the Flash impersonating Lex Luthor and has sex with Lex's girlfriend is problematic* that is cured by the fact that she knew or suspected that it was another person pretending to be Lex and went ahead anyway. *= There is also the fact that it is not like Wally sought out said nookie. He just didn't turn it down for fear it might blow his cover.

As for funny unmasking panels, I loved how the world re-acted to Peter Parkers unmasking. Particularly Norman Osborn loosing his shut because this was a violation of the rules in their game. Or some such mad logic.
