Compiling a few examples that have gotten missed with the renaming, as well as dug a few out from elsewhere.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode, "The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy", a villain was hired to obtain Batman's cape and cowl.  When he ultimately succeeds, Batman [[MultilayerFacade reveals a second mask]] underneath the cowl to protect his identity.  The villain is amused by how CrazyPrepared Batman is, but admits he wasn't trying to discover Batman's identity, only get the cowl for his employer. 
* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDoom'', Mirror Master sneaks into the Batcave and steals information from the Batcomputer while in contact to a mysterious villain via an earpiece. Mirror Master tells his contact that he may have a little time and could potentially scope the place out and find out Batman's secret identity, but the mysterious villain says not to bother, because he already knows and it doesn't matter. 
* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'': Conan Edogawa is actually a de-aged Shin'ichi.  
** Kaito Kid, second-generation GentlemanThief, has easily learned of this fact, but doesn't tell anyone, not even as a blackmail threat when Conan might be about to catch him. 
** Vermouth is an agent of the Black Organization, and has discovered the secret identities of both Conan & Haibara.  Her job is to find and ''kill'' Haibara, but keeps quiet for her own reasons, among them the apparent hope that Conan can bring down the Black Organization. 
** During the crossover with Lupin, ''Anime/LupinIIIVsDetectiveConan'', Lupin reveals that he's figured out that Conan is really Shin'ichi, and shared it with his gang already.  The only thing they care about, though, is sneaking him back to Japan.  Well, Fujiko also wants his secret to eternal youth. 
* An AntiHero version happens in ''Comicbook/HitMan'', Tommy reveals he could use his x-ray vision to peak under Franchise/{{Batman}}'s mask and tell all of Gotham who he is.  Batman asks him why he doesn't and Tommy responds with, "I guess you just don't know me that well".
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** In most ''Batman'' continuities, Rhas al'Ghoul is in charge of an army of assasins, and plans to rule the world from the shadows.  He knows that Batman is really Bruce Wayne, but the information is mostly a secondary consideration.  He initially wanted Batman specifically to be his heir, and it wouldn't matter if he was millionaire Bruce Wayne or some random schmuck.
