Who is Batman Junior?

Major Story Arcs Bruce Wayne, Jr. was the biological son of Bruce Wayne of an alternate reality in which the elder married and had children. Bruce Wayne Jr. did not truly appreciate his father's legacy, although he did train to the same levels both physically and mentally (as did Dick Grayson , who became Wayne, Sr.'s junior partner Robin ). Unlike Grayson, who was appreciative of the Batman affiliation, Wayne Jr. resisted his father's heroic legacy; he had not gone through the same personal loss of family as his father and Grayson. Wayne, Jr. also did not want to be known merely as the son of his famous father.
