Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23645 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Does Bruce Wayne have a middle name?
Bob Kane got the name from the scottish patriot, Robert Bruce. That's where he got Bruce. Then he wanted a last name that suggested colonialism. So he remembered Mad Anthony Wayne, and got the last name. This is according to wikipedia, so..
But anyway.. His full name may be Robert Bruce Wayne or Bruce Anthony Wayne. Both seem logical choices. But to my knowledge they have never revealed what it really is.
@agni: what is he duck?
I'm resurrecting this ancient thread because I've finally discovered Bruce Wayne's middle name. Or rather, I've discovered all three of them.
Bruce Anthony Wayne - Batman: Holy Terror (1991)
Bruce Foster Wayne - Batman Chronicles #21 (2000)
Bruce Thomas Wayne - Batman Adventures #14 (2004)

Some writers try to act smart and give him a middle name, with the exception of Chronicles every single reference cited here was never canon and Chronicles itself was far from status quo changing, he's simply Bruce Wayne.
@netspiker:I think it is in it's own continuity, but it is hard to say since Bruce is iirc arround 50 in novel so way older than in the comics, but there is iirc no mentioning of any side kicks and the writer kind of made his own version of who Bruce parents came together (loosely based on what was established in the comics). But to be honest I don't remember much of the book.
