The Wayne Enterprises building in Gotham City.
Wayne Enterprises, also known as Wayne-Powers when it was under the ownership of Derek Powers, was the multinational business empire that Bruce Wayne inherited from his parents upon their deaths.
History[]
Wayne Enterprises' 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]
The day-to-day operations of Wayne Enterprises were managed by Lucius Fox;[3] but Bruce Wayne was still owner and CEO of the company, and would still participate in corporate affairs on a limited basis, due to spending a significant chunk of his time as Batman.
Wayne Enterprises' 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 Bruce grew older, his declining health and the loss of his majority shareholding in the company caused him 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, Bruce returned to his company as both the CEO and the chairman of the board of directors, whereupon it was returned to being called Wayne Enterprises once again, but this time for good.
