News broke today as the Gotham City Police Department defends its behavior in outing a hometown hero and member of the Justice League Bruce Wayne, more commonly known as Batman. Gotham City PD is accused of intentionally leaking Batman's identity as Bruce Wayne to Mrs. Roberta Novak, a reporter for the Gotham City Daily News. The Gotham City Police are thought to have leaked Batman's identity in retaliation for Catwoman tipping off to the Gotham Daily that ever since Batman and Catwomen have teamed up, Gotham's supervillain problems have become basically non-existant.

The city fought back against these charges with a press release making several points. The press release claimed Batman's identity was an "open secret", and noted that he drove "daily to and from the Batcave in the Batmobile". The press release also noted that he wasn't really a superhero, and in fact had a "desk job at Wayne Industries". In addition the City PD notes "that all his neighbors knew Bruce Wayne was Batman".

A Justice League spokesman spoke publicly to refute Gotham City PD's claims. He first noted that it is common for members of Justice League to have an ordinary day job as cover for their secret identity. He secondly noted Batman had well-established procedures for driving clandestinely to and from the Batcave. Thirdly he notes, that Bruce Wayne has an enormous amount of land around his mansion, and in fact has no nearby neighbors. The Justice League spokesmen went on to say that this leak has in fact caused considerable damage to Batman and Gotham City. Batman now has to struggle daily with supervillains invading his home and trying to kill him. The Justice League also claims that Batman's newfound problem has resulted in an all time high crime rate for Gotham City.
