He then robot-walked right past Bruce Wayne, who at first tried to ignore him but then shot an annoyed glare. Since Bruce did not know the mimes were Joker Goons - and indeed, was not even aware of the Joker's existence yet - it's possible that Bruce either has a hatred of mimes or he was just offended that someone was pestering him when he was still in a somber mood from having just visited the site of his parents' murders.

The tall goon and fedora goon realized he must be wearing body armor. Bob ordered that the mask be removed, and the fedora goon pulled it back, fully revealing Bruce Wayne's face. Vale took the opportunity to capture this moment on film from above and Bob immediately ordered to have her shot when the flashbulb went off.
