Wayne Enterprises

History of Wayne Enterprises
Wayne Enterprises was founded by Thomas and Martha Wayne and given to Bruce after their death. Bruce didn't do much for the company, but he was the reason the company remained private.

During the period of Bruce's presumed death, the board of Wayne Enterprises decides to go public against the wishes of the Waynes. However, Bruce returns before the company goes public. When the company went public, Bruce was able to buy almost all of the shares of the company, keeping the power in his hands. Eventually, Lucius Fox becomes the head of the board, and the old head is fired.

In The Dark Knight Rises, Miranda Tate is able to get a position on the board.

Wayne Enterprises and Batman
Wayne Enterprises gives some of their military technology to Batman. This includes the cape, bulletproof vest, Batmobile, and Batcycle.
