It's a good hypothesis -- though, as Martin's "Superfreaks" series
consistently shows, super-heroes are not always the best
investigators.
Normally, that's not a problem, since most super-villains either
announce their plans in advance, in order to taunt the heroes, or have
such distinct modus operandi that it's easy to guess who they are.

People give Batman credit for being the world's greatest detective,
but really, how hard is it to solve a crime in Gotham City?

BATMAN: Well, there's a string of thefts being committed by a
group of small birds carrying drink umbrellas.  What do you think?

ROBIN: Gosh, Batman!  Maybe it's Two-Face!

BATMAN (sighs): Looks like we'll be holding you back another
year, old chum.
