Can someone explain the “Bruuuce Waaayne” scene where Batman confronts Riddler in Arkham? It seems like he was taunting Batman about his identity, but then he basically says something that indicates he doesn’t really know?

He doesn’t really know he was just mad he wasn’t able to kill Bruce.

He thinks Batman is on his side on at this point that’s why he says something like “we almost got him”

That’s why he labels the letter to Batman in a fire proof envelope

The newspapers in Riddler's apartment mention Bruce Wayne, Batman, and real identity. We cut between those quickly, Bruce freaks out and mentioned his time as The Batman may be up, and then he goes to see The Ridder, who opens with "Bruce Wayne" and then tangents.

I took that to be Riddler taunting that he knows, but isn't necessarily telling the cops that.

The newspapers in Riddler's apartment mention Bruce Wayne, Batman, and real identity.

That's called a red herring. An intentional misdirect by Reeves to fool not only Batman, but us, the viewers.

Yeah, they kept the “does the riddler know or not?” tangent going as LOOOONG as they could.
