Detective Comics v1 Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths , a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. Wayne Enterprises was a business that was established by the Wayne family that was based in Gotham City.
The roots of the business was first established by Charles Arwin Wayne who built the family's modest fortune into a thriving enterprise by buying land in Gotham prior to the American Civil War. Following his death, his children Solomon Wayne and Joshua Thomas Wayne continued the family business.
His son Kenneth Wayne developed Wayne Chemical but died at a young age though his fortune passed to his wife Laura Eizabeth Wayne who was a shrewd businesswoman. Her son Patrick Morgan Wayne inherited the family business after his mothers death and saw the Wayne legacy continue through two world wars. Wayne Enterprises involvement in the wartime effort under Patrick Wayne led to the company becoming a household name across America. After Patrick Wayne's death, the legacy of the family and the business passed on to his son Thomas Wayne.
Batman Secret Files and Origins v1 1. Under Thomas's leadership, the company never embraced the corruption that had fuelled Gotham City with it suffering financially as a result and being on the verge of collapse.
This was until Thomas encountered an alien probe where he studied its advanced technology and used aspects of its science to save Wayne Enterprises.
This allowed the company to grow and flourish with it becoming an economic force in Gotham City. At Leslie Thompkins Clinic for orphans, a newly created plague was created secretly by Dr. Karl Hellfern with the aim of killing everyone at the facility.
Thomas Wayne who was working there caught site of the disease and called in personnel from his company at Wayne Medical who worked quickly to neutralise it saving everyone's life. Batman: Streets of Gotham v1 After the seeming death of Alfred Pennyworth , Bruce Wayne created a memorial to him and named a charitable organization called the Alfred Foundation that aimed for the betterment of mankind.
Detective Comics v1 When Pennyworth returned alive, it was renamed as the Wayne Foundation that aimed for scientific achievements. Detective Comics v1 In time, it became a far flung business empire under the control of Bruce Wayne who managed Wayne Enterprises. Brave and the Bold v1 Waynetech was responsible for the technology contract to help construct the Secret Sanctuary in a set up that was worth half a billion dollars. Batman Confidential v1 A scandal affected Wayne Technologies when the company's CEO and founder Bruce Wayne was accused of funding mind control experiments over a cortical implant that could make a person into a remote controlled spy.
There were concerns from the intelligence community when accusations came of ties that linked Wayne to hostile foreign powers. As a result, a subpoena was issued to look into the WayneTech financial records. Solomon's son of his second wife, Alan Wayne, would marry Catherine Van Derm; a member of the once-wealthy Van Derm family, and together they would have a son named Kenneth Wayne. Kenneth's son, Patrick Morgan Wayne, saw the Wayne legacy through two world wars and built WayneCorp out of the ashes of the Great Depression and later developed WayneTech , whose aircraft plants and shipworks fueled American efforts in the Pacific War.
His wife, Laura Elizabeth Wayne, inherited the Wayne fortune at age thirty-seven and became the first Wayne to direct the conglomerate toward ecological responsibility. Patrick and Laura's son, Thomas Wayne, as a doctor and philanthropist, would create and contribute the Wayne Foundation and its various divisions to the conglomerate. While his son, Bruce Wayne, would expand the conglomerate's focus to become a global powerhouse in a wide variety of fields, this diversity allowed him to use the conglomerate's resources for the better-ment of mankind by financing and providing resources for not only his own endeavors, but for the financing of various hero groups such as Young Justice, Teen Titans, Outsiders, Birds of Prey, and the Justice League, as well as combating poverty and disaster-affected areas.
Wayne Enterprises is perhaps the only Gotham-based corporation to weather the city's earthquake and year of No Man's Land. The company ensured its continued survival by transferring the burden of its manufacturing to satellite facilities elsewhere.
Profits earned by Wayne Enterprises during NML were some for the first capital funds applied to the city's eventual rebuilding. It is involved in the retrieval and research of alien technology. Its main rival is LexCorp. The subsidiary is sometimes used by Batman as a means to acquire new technologies. Wayne Biotech is the company mostly responsible for the Gotham healthcare system.
The company itself is a facility for researching and developing new medical procedures and systems. It also trains and teaches a huge number of people annually. Wayne Chemicals and Wayne Pharmaceuticals work closely with Wayne Biotech to develop medicines for different diseases. The current research at Wayne Biotech is focused on finding the cure for cancer. Since the human genome has already been unlocked, Wayne Biotech is studying cloning to produce organs for future transplants.
Batman uses Wayne Biotech as a research tool for finding medical information, patient histories and information on illnesses.
It runs farms and cattle ranches in the Midwest United States, and imports beef from Argentina and other countries. Wayne Foods produces specialized products like ecological foods and natural lines with no additives and controlled growing. Batman uses Wayne Foods as a means to keep tabs on the food produce market.
In recent times, Wayne Foods has concentrated development efforts on organic produce, as a result of changing fashion and consumer demand. Wayne Shipping owns dozens of freighters and handles three and a half billion tons of freight each month and is used by Batman to gain an inside view on smuggling and drug trafficking.
Despite a lack of investment in Wayne Shipping since the merger took place, the company still remains an important player in world ocean transportation. Wayne Steel is one of the oldest steel mills and metal refineries in Gotham and supplies steel for shipbuilding. It also studies and replicates alien technology.
This has led to Batman getting priority on technology and alloys for him to study. WayneYards is responsible for the building of a large number of naval warships, commercial, and private ships and is currently building a Nimitz class aircraft carrier in Gotham.
WayneSteel and WayneYards facilities repair a large number of cruisers and destroyers and also has contacts within the upper pylons of the Navy and the global maritime business.
Wayne Aerospace builds luxurious and exclusive corporate and private jets and airliners. Its experimental aviation branch produces experimental and research planes built for the United States government and NASA.

It once partnered with LexCorp for the development of cybernetic drones, the Waynelexes, before Bruce terminated his company's contract with LexCorp after its CEO, Lex Luthor violated its agreements by arming the robots with military technology without Wayne's approval and his scandal with Joker 's rampage in Metropolis. The two companies were eventually merged, and became Wayne-Powers Enterprises. Paxton was soon arrested after he attempted to murder Wayne. Following the company's multiple change in hands, Wayne reclaimed control of the company under its original name: Wayne Enterprises.
Bruce also had a transport tunnel under his desk from his main office that could transport him back to Wayne Manor. In one scene, Earle assured Bruce Wayne that the company would be in good hands until he was old enough to claim Wayne Corp.
However, after Bruce's disappearance for many years, Earle had Wayne declared legally dead. During that time, he shied away from "what Thomas Wayne would have done" and focused on heavy weapons manufacturing.
The company's headquarters was in the old masonry skyscraper Wayne Tower that was the center for Gotham City 's rapid transit and water networks. When Bruce finally returned to Gotham, he did not show obvious interest in reclaiming the family business. Instead, he chose to work in the Applied Sciences Division, and used it and his coworker, Lucius Fox , to provide him with high-tech equipment.
Bruce took gear that was originally made for the U. Military, including body armor and a prototype armored vehicle , and used them to create the equipment that he needed for his war on crime. Finally, at the film's end, Wayne Enterprises became a public corporation and Bruce managed to become a majority shareholder, at which point he installed Fox as the active CEO. The headquarters were moved to the same building where the Special Projects Division was located.
As in Batman Begins , Bruce continued to utilize the resources of his company to aid in his vigilante work as Batman. For example, he had Fox arrange a business meeting with a Chinese mogul named Lau in order to "get a closer look" at Lau's business practices and confirm his own suspicions that Lau had been cooperating with the mob in money laundering schemes.
Bruce also had Fox built new components for his new Batsuit. Later on, Batman used sonar technology that was developed by Fox in order to track down and capture the Joker.
In addition, a subplot of the film involved a Wayne Enterprises' fiduciary named Coleman Reese , who accidentally discovered Bruce Wayne's identity as Batman while he reviewed the company's budget and attempted to blackmail both Wayne and Fox although he presumably decided to keep quiet in the end after an event in which Wayne saved his life, and of in fear of Wayne would do if he did.
However the company was in bad health, after sinking a fortune into a fusion power project, which Bruce Wayne subsequently shutdown. That resulted in a lack of profits, and lead to poor funding for the Wayne Foundation, which ended up cutting funding to an orphanage. After Bruce's fortune was fraudulently wiped out, Bruce is kicked off the board, and a board fight ensued with John Daggett attempting to take over the company.
Lucius was Company President. She restarted the fusion project for a greener Earth, even though Bruce Wayne shut it down because it could be turned into a nuclear bomb. Bane invaded a board meeting, took over the Advanced Projects Vault, and Fusion Research Center, and turned the fusion reactor into a nuclear bomb.
The fusion reactor had a radiation signature. The Fusion Research Center was flooded by the end of the film, Talia died in the bomb truck, and Fox was faced with the task of repairing Wayne Enterprise's back to the thriving company that it once was. A satellite with the Wayne Enterprise's logo was destroyed by General Zod's vessel while approaching Earth. From Batman Family Wiki. File:Ark-mans-riddlearticle image.
