History

Wayne tower

Wayne Enterprises was founded by Thomas Wayne. It developed new technologies that would be accessible to everyone for every day use such as medical, electronics and many more. After Thomas decided to run for Gotham's District Attorney he left the company to Lucius Fox who ran it for many years. After the return of Bruce Wayne he took control. Bruce continued his fathers legacy and ran the company very well and used the companies technology for crime fighting. Once Joker tried to send Gotham into an economic crisis in order to ruin Lew Moxon. However, this also affected Wayne Enterprises and the company almost went bankrupt. Batman was able to stop Joker and save his company. Wayne Enterprises was a private company and information about their stocks were kept from the public. Lew Moxon once sent the theif, Catwoman, to steal this information which he used to gain control of Wayne Enterprises. Moxon used the company's resources to build weapons which he supplied to the criminals Firefly, Mr. Freeze and Bane. Batman was later able to prove that Moxon was a criminal and when he became a wanted man Bruce bought enough shares to regain control. Another time Wayne Enterprises was going up against Sionis Industries and Daggett Industries for a government contract to build a new space station. Roman Sionis then hired Clayface to sabotage Wayne Enterprise so that he could get the contract to build the space station, which was a success. Wayne Enterprises once partnered with LexCorp but Bruce backed out of their business deal when he realized Lex Luthor was a criminal. On another occasion Wayne Enterprises partnered with Ferris Aircraft to build a new type of jet plane. In the 2040's an older Bruce again lost control of Wayne Enterprises to Derek Powers but later regained control.
