Batman: Enemy Within ep 3 laptop? [EP3 and 4 spoilers]

You know how in ep3 Bruce asks John for the laptop and so does Batman, and also John tells Bruce where to meet for it, yet John only takes the laptop to Batman without Bruce questioning it, I felt like that was a weird moment. Now with the release of ep 4, you can say John probably knew Batman was Bruce, sure, but Bruce would've wanted to keep his cover and not reveal to John he's indeed Batman, so what gives? Was this showing Bruce slipping up giving John evidence he's Batman? Or was it just a plothole that wasn't really given attention to?
tldr: Bruce and Batman are supposed to be two different people in the city's eyes, obviously. Bruce asks John for the laptop, Batman asks John for the laptop. John gives the laptop to Batman, Bruce doesn't care thus giving John evidence he's Batman?

  • I took it as an honest mistake from Bruce side and not a plot hole in the story.
    John mentions it at the carnival that it was the slip up with the laptop that was a part of giving away Bruces identity.

  • To be fair, Bruce didn't have a lot of time to ask John about the latptop before things went to hell. He had to find the blacksite as soon as possible, then he was found by Bane and the raid began. The guy probably had a million more things to worry about in his head.

  • Bruce wanted to get the laptop anyway he could so he asked John as Bruce and as Bats. Dumb slip-up though.

  • You are onto something here. Maybe that's what John meant with the whole "I realized you are batman because of the laptop slip up" thing.
    Either he meant that it was obvious since Bruce and Batman both asked for the same thing, or because of what you said. I thhhink this may be a plot hole though.
