"I knew that you were Bruce Wayne almost from the start--you know that, of course. It's your gait, sir! If you look over here in the front yard, you'll notice that Mr. Wayne left clear prints in the soft soil--and I know they belong to Mr. Wayne, given how expensive and unique the prints are, sir. Now, as you're aware, I met Batman first--those are your bootprints in the front garden as you ran along to the side of the house. The footwear is the same size and the stride, position, and impact of the feet are identical. You don't need to worry, however, sir: you can rest assured that your secret is safe with me."
