Wayne Enterprises, also known as Wayne-Powers under the ownership of Derek Powers, was the multinational business empire that Bruce Wayne inherited from his parents upon their deaths.
History[]
The company's headquarters were based in a skyscraper in Gotham City, which was equipped with several secret passageways that would allow Wayne to leave unseen for his crime-fighting activities as Batman,[1] some of which Bruce Wayne had personally developed.[2]
Day-to-day operations of the company were managed by Lucius Fox;[3] Bruce Wayne was still the overall owner and would still participate in corporate affairs on a limited basis due to spending a significant chunk of his time as Batman.
The company's main rivals were Daggett Industries,[4] LexCorp[5] and Powers Technology.[6] The latter would eventually succeed in a hostile takeover, resulting in the conglomerate Wayne-Powers.[6] One result of this was the firing of Lucius Fox, Jr., who was vice president of the company, and in turn the founding of Foxteca.[7]
As he grew older, his declining health and the loss of his majority shareholding in the company caused Bruce Wayne to retire into semi-seclusion. It was first taken over by Derek Powers,[6] then by his son Paxton[8] and Jordan Pryce.[9] Following the arrest of the latter, Wayne returned to his company as CEO and Chairman of the Board whereupon it was renamed Wayne Enterprises.
