This is a stupid question, NO WAY
Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23630 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Does Joker know Batman is Bruce?

AHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! Always intense huh?
If Joker didn't before then by now after the events from "R.I.P" then yeah he knows who he is.
if joker knew bruce was the bat, there would be no batman
I kind of Doubt that considering Joker gets off from his battles with Batman it's a game to him if he killed Bruce there would be no one to challenge him he would feel lost, bored and angry with himself.
I have to agree with the opinion that the Joker may know but doesn't care. In RIP and the last arc of BnR it is kinda clear he may well know. I think the Joker has the belief that Bruce is the mask of Batman (if he does know). He just enjoys burning the world down and having Batman chase him down in an epic duel. He is a Genius Psychopath
I've changed my mind. My new veredict is this:
The Joker couldn't care less about who is behind the mask. As far as the Joker is concerned his enemy is the bat, not the man

Yes. In thelast issue of Batman R.I.P. Batman's girlfriend (at the time was Jezebel Jet) revealed his identity by accident.having to be kidnapped by the Joker, was put in a chamber and then screamed out for "Bruce". Joker had encountered Bruce Wayne before so he put Thought about the name And soon he found out it was the Playboy millionaire Bruce Wayne.
or if you want to go up by the show. In Batman Beyond Joker interrogate Dick Grayson and Dick Grayson tells who Batman is.
Its amazing the amount of character that know, but actually dont care.
Deathstroke knows this to, but it looks he and the rest just dont care that much.
Joker said in the Death Of The Family comics he knew, Batman even said he knew. I read all Batman comics I know everything about him.
It would make complete sense for Joker to know, and even still make sense for him not to act on that information. I can't point out any specific instances, but I know that Joker often points out how Batman doesn't not kill him because of a "code" but because the two of them are connected so closely. He talks about how the two of them are two sides of the same coin. In my mind, if Joker points that out, and in his eyes the two of the are so similar, it makes sense that that would be his reasoning to not just nuke Wayne Manor, because without one the other would not be.
@goldenxgun: Your reply is from a 2 and 8 year old post xD. I agree though. Joker, has always known by instinct who Batman is, he just dosen't acknowledges it. And there has been old comics were he kind of "protects this information". I remember reading one about Hugo Strange who knew and Joker too, and then someone finds out and Joker killed him or something, not sure.
Death of the familiy was proof Joker knew for a long time and just didn't care (until that moment in time). Then there is the way he manipulated Jason Todd while he was Robin. Wouldn't work if he didn't know Jason was Robin. And if he knew that and knew were Jason lived, it is not hard to know who the Bat is. Even Tim figured it out because of that.
So yes, the Joker has known for a long time. He just didn't care
Yeah. He actually DOES know; it said so in Endgame. He calls Batman "Bruce" over the phone and knows how his parents died. He also knows who Joe Chill is as well. So, yeah.
