To a Bloody Pulp

The Wayne empire's primary components in the current era are Wayne Shipping, Wayne Technology, and Wayne Industries. The business is currently run by the brothers Patrick Wayne and Silas Wayne.

For a shipping company, Wayne Shipping is doing moderately well under Silas's leadership in these hard times. There has been talk (mainly by Federal Officials) of merging with Transworld Shipping, a Cobblepot Family company, in order to reduce duplication in these rough business conditions. However, neither family has their hearts in the merger idea.

Patrick is in the middle of a public feud with Blair Elliot. Patrick argued against the building permits for Blair's Ajax Chemicals project for environmental reasons.
