- The history of Wayne Enterprises is longer than the history of Gotham City. Wayne Enterprises was founded in the 17th century and thus is one of the oldest companies in the world. It was initially known as Wayne Corp and was founded as a merchant house, eventually evolving into a large multinational conglomerate company. Today, it is privately owned by Bruce Wayne, although he participates very little in the projects of his various enterprises, leaving the work to his trusted employees, particularly the CEO Lucius Fox. Its current headquarters is located in Gotham.
- Wayne Enterprises (formerly WayneCorp) is a company in the DC Universe. Wayne Enterprises is owned by billionaire Bruce Wayne and run by his business manager Lucius Fox. It was founded by merchant ancestors of the Wayne family in the 17th century as a merchant house. It changed and gradually grew when it was officially erected in the 19th century when Alan Wayne, heir to Solomon Wayne, founded Wayne Shipping and Wayne Chemical. Along with Wayne Manufacturing, which came later, the Industrial Revolution fueled Wayne Enterprises into becoming a major powerhouse. In addition to providing an income for Bruce Wayne, the various activities of the organization help facilitate his Batman activities in Gotham City.
- Wayne Enterprises was officially erected in the 19th century and thus is one of the oldest companies in the world. It began as a dozen businesses started by Judge Solomon Wayne and his brother Joshua. With the money made, Judge Wayne essentially built Gotham City by hiring Cyrus Pinkney. Wayne Technologies, Wayne Chemicals with Wayne Pharmaceuticals, and Wayne Aerospace stood tall in the forefront of pharmaceutical and technological research and development. They had many joint ventures with Drake Medical and S.T.A.R. Labs and even some with LexCorp.
- 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, some of which Bruce Wayne had personally developed. Day-to-day operations of the company were managed by Lucius Fox; Bruce Wayne was still the overall owner and would still participate in corporate affairs on a limited basis.

It was initially known as Wayne Corp and was founded as a merchant house, eventually evolving into a large multinational conglomerate company. Today, it is privately owned by Bruce Wayne, although he participates very little in the projects of his various enterprises, leaving the work to his trusted employees, particularly the CEO Lucius Fox.

- Wayne Enterprises was officially erected in the 19th century and thus is one of the oldest companies in the world. It began as a dozen businesses started by Judge Solomon Wayne and his brother Joshua. With the money made, Judge Wayne essentially built Gotham City by hiring Cyrus Pinkney. Judge Wayne's son and heir, Alan, utilized his father's wealth and erected the Wayne Shipping company and also the Wayne Chemical company into Gotham City. Wayne Manufacturing soon followed as the fourth branch of the company. All these companies were energized and powered by the world's Industrial Revolution and they kept changing; more branches were opened and built while others dwindled and were discarded. Along the years, it has developed from a merchant house to a large multinational conglomerate company that stands among the the biggest in the world with only a few rivals such as LexCorp. Wayne Enterprises became a green company under the control of Patrick and Laura Wayne and has been environmentally conscious from that time forward. Even when environmentalism wasn't a fad or a necessity, Wayne Enterprises followed those ideals. At the turn of the 20th century, Wayne Enterprises was the city in many ways. Through two World Wars and the great recessions the company has come through and with the help of Lucius Fox it stood as the forerunner in many fields of technology. WayneCorp changed its name to Wayne Enterprises in the 1980's. It has been able to rejuvenate itself many times and has been able to survive and stand tall even after the Cataclysm and the Billion Dollar Build-Up where its efforts were far greater than LexCorp's. Wayne Technologies, Wayne Chemicals with Wayne Pharmaceuticals, and Wayne Aerospace stood tall in the forefront of pharmaceutical and technological research and development. They had many joint ventures with Drake Medical and S.T.A.R. Labs and even some with LexCorp. The company spanned the globe and was a large power in the global marketplace. As a multi-billion dollar company on a bad day, it was definitely not going down the drain in a hurry. It purchased a company that was one of the forerunners in the field of nano-technology and anti-gravity. Wayne Enterprises was also in the running to build the next space plane and the company's subsidiaries all had multiple government contracts and deals. Even though the Billion-Dollar Build-Up was a large strain on Wayne Enterprises, it quickly bounced back to be a true force to be reckoned with in the global community. Its main headquarters are in the Wayne Tower in Gotham. There are branch offices and headquarters all over the world, with the second largest office tower in New York City, with the first belonging to Stark Industries. Of course, Wayne Enterprises was much more than just a place for Bruce Wayne to make money. It is the best way for Batman to get information, news, and rumors from the corporate world. The companies of today are nations unto themselves and they are great forces to be reckoned with. There is also the fact that even though Bruce Wayne is a jetsetting playboy, he works too and Wayne Enterprises gives a great cover story for zipping to wherever and whenever. At some point, Wayne Enterprises acquired Kord Industries.

Day-to-day operations of the company were managed by Lucius Fox; Bruce Wayne was still the overall owner and would still participate in corporate affairs on a limited basis. The company's main rivals were Daggett Industries, LexCorp and Powers Technology. The latter would eventually succeed in a hostile takeover, resulting in the conglomerate Wayne-Powers. 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, then by his son Paxton and Jordan Pryce. Following the arrest of the latter, Wayne returned to his company as CEO and Chairman of the Board whereupon it was renamed Wayne Enterprises.
