I imagine the criminals eventually figure it out, but it's not like they're spending a bunch of time with the Robins either. They generally get a few glimpses right before they're punched in the face. And I don't know that they'd automatically know Nightwing used to be Robin either, he starts out in an entirely different city.

I don't know about now, but I think this definitely used to be the case in the older comics. Jason was originally a redhead who dyed his hair black so he'd look more like Dick (this apparently still occasionally shows up in the newer ones). And when Tim met Joker, Joker was pretty pissed off that the dude he killed was still around.

I know in the arkham games they seem aware he was formerly batmans sidekick as they tend to taunt him with what's he gonna do without batman.

I think it boils down to nobody wants to believe billionaire playboy Bruce is also batman. Most people probably assume he's never been in a real fight that and him playing the playboy people also probably assume he drinks too often to go out fighting crime.

Kinda why I liked the idea that Bruce admitted he was funding batman but claimed he wasn't batman. While it attached his name to batman it was a clever way to keep people thinking he wasn't the batman
