I would appear in the episode "Perchance to Dream", Mad Hatter knew Batman's true identity, so in "Trial" right before the bad guys are about to unmask him, Hatter was there. Couldn't he have just told them that Batman is really Bruce Wayne?

Did the Mad Hatter know Batman's true identity? No, he didn't.
It's a plot hole, but apparently the Mad Hatter was so consumed with just keeping Batman out of his life, that he never bothered to unmask him.

Even though the Mad Hatter appears in Bruce's dream, that wasn't the real Mad Hatter, it was just Bruce's imagination. The real Mad Hatter never learned that Bruce was Batman. -

I see, so, the Mad Hatter somehow inserted all of that into Batman's mind?
"It's a plot hole, but apparently the Mad Hatter was so consumed with just keeping Batman out of his life, that he never bothered to unmask him."
I know. The villains are always too cocky to unmask him. But if they found out he was Bruce Wayne, what would they do? -

The Mad Hatter only provided the means for Bruce to imagine his perfect dream world. Everything in it was a product of Bruce's imagination.

That was illustrated in another dream episode,
Over the Edge
: "If the Bat's on a spree, Wayne must pay the fee!"
