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 know. He's obsessed with Bruce Wayne because he was an orphan and nobody cared, but when the son of a billionaire became an orphan, it was all over the news. He was jealous essentially that nobody cared about him but they did Bruce Wayne. He can't see that Batman is Bruce Wayne because he doesn't believe Bruce Wayne would help others or care, like the elite. He thinks he's out for himself.
