[Bruce is nothing but direct... at least, when he chooses to be. For now, he sees little harm in asking. While a large part of him finds it reasonable to want to know about his fellow hosts, he would be lying if he said he wasn't even slightly curious.

And I don't know, Sam, some of that stuff is crazy. Mostly the whole fighting off alien invasions thing; aren't you a little young to be saving the world?

Then again, nothing should surprise Bruce at this point. And he's not sure which of those things he should honestly ask about first.]

I think the problem is that fighting off alien invasions doesn't lend well to any of those things. [Superheroing takes a toll on one's social life; he would know.] You're just a kid. How did you end up trying to stave off alien forces?

[As for why there are alien forces in the first place -- well, the default answer as of late has simply been: multiverses.]
