[The Dark Knight] When Bruce Wayne sets things up with the Skyhook crew, how do they not know he's Batman?

They were smugglers. They don't give a shit about *what* they're transporting. If they're getting paid, that's all that matters.

If Bruce was worried about them talking, then all he'd have to do is pay them more generously.

If that fails, there's very little the smugglers could gain from know who Batman was because:

1. Batman was still very new on the scene during the events of Dark Knight. At most a few years and even then, up until his trip to Hong Kong, he never left Gotham.

2. They're smugglers. There's no honor among thieves, but if they willingly spill the beans on Batman, then it's only a matter of time before the rest of the underworld learns this group can't keep a secret. And there are bigger secrets than a Batman. Much bigger.

3. Do they even know who or what the hell Batman is? Alfred's exact words were "*South Korean smugglers operating out of Pyongyang*", implying their modus operandi was exclusive to the Korean peninsula. During the entire *Dark Knight* franchise, Batman's importance only affected Gotham. Essentially, if you're not from Gotham, who gives a shit?
