    Character » Batman appears in 22281 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.

    Did Dick Grayson really add 'Wayne' to his last name?

    Dick Grayson's Comic Vine page says his real name is Richard John Grayson-Wayne. Is Wayne really part of his surname these days or is this just more internet B.S?

    I think when Bruce took him as his ward, he did take his last name.  I THINK.

    @NetSpiker: Dick is no longer Bruce's ward. He is actually his adopted son, just like Tim. So it makes sense that "Wayne" is a part of his name similar to Tim Drake- Wayne.

    Yes it is, Dick was adopted by Bruce during the Batman: Gotham Knights book, during Gotham Knights #21.

    @NetSpiker: It's only the formal version of his name. He really does go around as Dick Grayson though.

    I always really saw Bruce and DIck's relationship as more of a Brotherly one and not one of a father -son one. So i always find it strange to say Bruce is his father now.
