Best/favorite DC Secret Identity moment?

[Riv86672]

Back when the majority of heroes still had Secret Identities, the hero revealing it/someone figuring it out, was a pretty big deal, and could have some major impact.
Nowadays that doesn’t really happen, but The Who is The Bad guy mystery/reveal still gets some action.
But I digress,

What are the best/your favorite moments from DC?

I'm going to jump to a movie here because it's the first thing that came to mind.

Superman 2: Niagara Falls, in that ridiculous honeymoon suite where Lois is trying to prove that Clark is Superman, and she keeps getting close, but Clark keeps worming his way out of it, ("gaslighting" wasn't a popular term then, but yeah, he was guilty of that a lot) but then he gives up and decides to come clean. You see Christopher Reeve transform from Clark to Kal-el right in front of our eyes through sheer performance. Amazing and touching.

During Outlaws Rebirth, Jason went undercover at Penguin's casino. And went full over the top.

Gosh, I want all of them to go undercover at the same time as Matches Malone family.

Ooh yeah. This one. I read the Golden Age version. Very good story.

I read the GA version, too, but this was the first one I saw. Forty-seven years since I first read a superhero comic and it's still the most impactful reveal I can think of.

Can I say that moment in Justice League animated series where Batman just calls out Wally and Clark's identity while hiding from the Thanagarians?

The Flash. Barry Allen works up the guts to tell his wife the whole story, and finds out she knows because he talks in his sleep.

Runner-up: Golden Age Batman and Robin: Wayne hires a butler Grayson thinks isn't too bright, who has things so figured out that he's in the Batcave, waiting to help dress his gentlemen in costume the next time the Batsignal goes up.

I remember getting 'TEC 363 when I was just seven years old, at Ryan's drugstore. I just loved the corny cover and the story inside. Still one of my favourite comics.



Some years later, 'TEC 422 had this Batgirl cover, which ignited a major change in the life of Babs Gordon.



But my favourite secret identity scene in comics was in SUPERMAN 314 at the end of the story when Clark asks Lois to marry him, but she turns him down. Heart broken, was I *sob*

Yeah, that was a good one.
