Mr Bruce hears the same joke at least every week, so it isnt funny to him anymore. Everyone else either didnt get it or rolled their eyes.

source: haver of a memey name. been through this countless times.

It's especially fun if your name is similar to a comic character that you don't care for
Source: have a name that's similar to an anti-villain
Edit: y'all are cracking me up!
- Ahh, William wadeson
- Brock edwards, is that you?
- My condolences, Phony Stark.
- Yuan Fang?
  (He is just plain evil and selfish but edgy highschoolers call him anti-hero so...)
Is your real name biggs hoson?
- Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
missed chance to prepare actually funny comebacks, like "this isn't how this works, bizzarro" etc
I have a meme last name… then a commercial made a meme out of my first name…
I have a name which is jokable. You hear a lot of boring uninspired jokes, which gets old.
I dunno, this one sounds silly and fun, and I don't think everyone and their dog would have told it.
Surely the good ones are still funny, no?
- Not for me. But Im old and cynical. I had a 25 year career during which I attended thousands and thousands of meetings with strangers.

Maybe they're all big comics nerds and are confused because Manbat's alter ego is Dr. Kirk Langstrom

(Thank you for saying that, you saved me an 'adjusts glasses: "achuallhy"' ;))

I got it right away, but an even smaller amount of people would realize that there is a Manbat, a villain opposing Batman.

There is no Manspider btw, but there are a few artist conceptions, and they are horrible. Makes Manbat seem friendly.

There is no Manspider, sure. But Spiders-man is a real character, who is a sentient hive mind of radioactive spiders possessed by the spirit of Peter Parker after he fell into their enclosure and was devoured.
Comics are weird
- TIL. Can I now unlearn that?
- eeeeeeeeeeew
- Damnit, I knew I should have read down to see if anyone mentioned spiders-man!
My favorite of the spider variants is spidersman. A swarm of spiders eats Peter parker and inherits his memories and abilities. So the swarm just suits up and becomes Peter parker. It's so dark, and so creepy that I love it lol. And there's a comments from miles in the miles Morales spiderman game where hesays "ya gotta watch out for spiders, man." And every time he says it I'm thinking he's telling these people to be careful of a swarm of spiders in a suit, as he's webbing up these criminals and it makes me chuckle. Like even miles is grossed out by the thought of it.
- spidersman
  What's the timeline on that character? Wonder if someone over at Marvel was watching the Rick and Morty ep with the Vindicators and Millions of Ants.
In case anyone is curious, Man-Bat, Dr. Robert Kirkland "Kirk" Langstrom:

Savage Spider-Man would visually be the closest thing I guess we have
Isn't Man-Spider what Peter Parker turned into when his six-armed mutation progressed to its end stage?

It's not a funny as he thought

Man, it is such a sad sight IRL when no one gets it. They're confused asking what you're talking about. You try explaining and they're all acting like this is some in comprehensible nonsense that they can't understand and isn't funny.

The only thing worse is when only one person gets it and no one else does. Now you've got one person laughing saying "I see what you did there" and then having to explain to the others.

I agree with the first point, but "only one person getting it" is how friendships are often made.
Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden). The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, “What? You too? I thought I was the only one.” We can imagine that among those early hunters and warriors single individuals — one in a century? one in a thousand years? — saw what others did not; saw that the deer was beautiful as well as edible, that hunting was fun as well as necessary, dreamed that his gods might be not only powerful but holy. But as long as each of these percipient persons dies without finding a kindred soul, nothing (I suspect) will come of it; art or sport or spiritual religion will not be born. It is when two such persons discover one another, when, whether with immense difficulties and semi-articulate fumblings or with what would seem to us amazing and elliptical speed, they share their vision — it is then that Friendship is born. And instantly they stand together in an immense solitude. (C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves)
Neither the book, nor ol' Clive himself, are without issues. His definitions can be a little questionable. But he had a hell of a way with words.

There is a Batman villain or tragic anti-hero named "Manbat" whose real name is Kirk Langstrom. Perhaps Wayne Bruce was confused by being called by the name Langstrom's alter ego.

G'Day, Bruce!

Oh, Hello Bruce!
- Blimey it's hot in here, Bruce!

So glad they blurred out the face and name on this public post, lest they be doxxed and shamed

It's just pavlovian at this point. You've screenshot something, so naturally you have to blur the name and profile picture. Zero thought involved.
Ironically it's really hard to find the original source because this is being shared and reshared so often and I gave up after 6 seconds

Once saw a guy named Wayne Batman. He was in his eighties, and this was the early 2000's, so he actually predated Batman.
