well, considering that some of these guys are experienced world class villains who at least know how to drive tumblers, i'd be surprised if they didn't have ONE pilot, but ok i guess.

>wasn't this obvious though?

Yeah, you're right, i guess i was a bit slow on that haha. I mean, for alfred and fox, i obviously knew immediately, but i didn't register right away that blake and gordon knew he was still alive. for some reason i thought someone else fixed the signal/gave blake the note, don't ask why. i think i just happened to focus more on blake taking the helm as the new batman, instead of thinking about whether he realized bruce wasn't dead
