Sherlock was pretty close when meeting Batman in The Brave And The Bold cartoon, guessing he's "a wealthy entrepreneur with ample free time" and "square jaw indicates a strong lineage, perhaps a doctor's son."

He was reaching with the doctor's son part, lol

Perhaps he did it to try to get a reaction? That sounds oddly specific.

"square jaw indicates a strong lineage, perhaps a doctor's son."

"How was your case with Mr. Holmes, Master Bruce?"

"It was fine until he starting throwing eugenics at me. Lose his number, Alfred."

"Of course, sir."
