HISTORY
Alan Wayne was the son of Judge Solomon Wayne. Believing the house of Wayne to be haunted he contemplated suicide to end the Wayne family line, but was stopped when a carriage carrying Vandal Savage, his ancestor Thomas Wayne I and his future wife Catherine crashed on the bridge just behind him while fighting a time displaced Batman. Coming to Catherine's aid, Alan witnessed Batman being shot by Jonah Hex and falling to his apparent death in the Gotham river. After the incident Alan and Catherine were married and they started completing the building of Wayne Manor. Catherine made him promise to keep a small wooden casket she, as one of the Migliari had been holding for the return of the stranger, safe and mark it with a bat. After Catherine died in childbirth, Alan commissioned a garden that spread out in a way that when seen from above would resemble a bat.
