History[]
Wayne Residence[]
Wayne Manor was the large palatial home of various generations of the Wayne Family, with Martha and Thomas Wayne living here until they were murdered. After they were buried in the cemetery on the grounds of the manor, their son Bruce Wayne and his butler Alfred Pennyworth continued to live at the manor for a while.
Fall from Grace[]
The Waynes were known to have kept a larger personal staff in order to maintain the Manor. But after the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Bruce decided he didn't need servants.[1]
As it stood, the manor eventually became a desolate husk, overtaken by weeds and water stains after years of neglect.[2] At some point, probably in association with killing Robin, Joker burned down the mansion, causing Bruce to move into the modern-styled Glass House by a lake.[3] At some point, Alfred left the decaying mansion to settle in a trailer somewhere on the Wayne Estate.[4]
Reconstruction[]
- "Big round table. Six chairs, right there."
"But room for more."
"But room for more, God help us." - ―Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince[src]
Alfred, Diana and Bruce think of plans to rebuild Wayne Manor.
After stopping the invasion of Parademons led by Steppenwolf, Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth started planning to rebuild the Manor as the headquarters for the Justice League and its potential future recruits, with some help from Diana Prince. Immediately following Bruce Wayne's conversation with Martian Manhunter, the mansion could be seen undergoing renovation.[5]

Wayne Residence[]
Originally, Wayne Manor was inhabited by Thomas and Martha Wayne where they raised their son Bruce before their unexpected deaths. Then the family butler, Alfred Pennyworth took their place as Bruce Wayne's guardian and later served him for the rest of his life in the manor. After Alfred eventually passed on, the mansion was left in a messy condition as Bruce no longer had anyone to help keep it clean.
