I love the thought that Bruce would get himself into different side quests. Not because he's a CEO and has sponsored projects here and there, but because he's a celebrity of his own.
You'd assume that someone who dresses as a bat furry and break people's shins who genuinely has not been sleeping enough would skip those and only does the bare minimum of accepting one or two interviews and one or two photoshoots just to keep the public satisfied and off his back but no.
When a movie director, who's CGI engine/general tech are from Wayne Tech because his company is sponsoring the project, reached out to him and offered a spot in the cast (not a major role), Bruce went: "Oh, why the hell not?"
Besides he had some training in acting, it would be a good way to practice his skills.
Cue to the Bat-Kids and adjacent having a night in because of the weather or something and decided to have a movie night. (They went through the catalog of new/upcoming movies in the Manor's theatre and found the movie, thought it would be interesting and all agreed to rent it)
Dick, amused and a little baffled, points to the wide screen: Hey, that character looks like B.
Bruce wrapped in zombie-esque prosthetics but is still recognizable, staring longingly at the male lead while said lead passionately spoke about how he'd help cure him and what-not.
Tim, who hadn't been paying attention, pauses in his typing and set his phone aside: Huh?
Jason, eyes squinted: He does look like the old man...
Babs, nodding along: Who would've thought Bruce had a doppelgänger. It would be a shame though if the actor only got into this job because he resembled someone already famous. Creepy even...
Stephanie, slapping her knee and guffawing: Oh, shit! He's got competition!
Damian, contemplating: Perhaps Father could use his service when he needs someone to pose as him in galas or such...
Duke, rubbing his eyes in a tired manner: I don't think he would, Dames. He would be too concerned in putting the actor in danger because of his status type shit..
Cassandra:
Cassandra: I think that is him.
Everyone turned their heads towards her simultaneously. Dick thought she was being funny. Jason looked at her as if she was messing with him, offense written all over his face. Tim blinked froggily. Damian's eyebrows were pinched. Stephanie just laughed harder. Duke let out a confused "what?".
Babs, pulling out her tablet, searching up the movie while Bruce's character is legit running for his life in the background despite it still being early into the movie: ...Cass is right, it is him.
Silence.
Cue chaos and intense typing. They eventually found more of his previous projects dating back to when he was 16. They went to confront Bruce who was just about fall asleep and only received a very confused reply: I thought you all knew...?
Bruce didn't try to hide it. All his schedules for the movie were written on both his physical and virtual calendar. He knows his kids often barge into his study just to bother him or simply bask in his presence, he assumed they'd figured it all out...
Skip to two weeks later where they all decide to binge watch all his features.
