Bruce Wayne Jr.

• Also known as

Robin Jr. Son of Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Batwoman (Kathy Kane). Sidekick of Batman II (Dick Grayson). The adventures of Batman II and Robin II were originally fictional stories written by Alfred Pennyworth, later revealed to exist on a parallel Earth. Earth-154: One day in the future, Clark Kent (Superman) marries Lois Lane, and Bruce Wayne (Batman) marries Kathy Kane (Batwoman). Clark and Lois have a son Kal-El Jr. (who later uses the alias Clark Kent Jr.), and Bruce and Kathy have a son Bruce Jr. (nicknamed Brucie). When young Kal-El Jr. acts like a bully to Bruce Jr., Kathy forbids the two from playing together any longer. Superman and Batman decide to teach them about their own careers in preparation of their sons' futures. Bruce Jr. comes up with a plan to get the two families together again. He and Kal-El Jr. pretend to run away from home. Unfortunately, the kids are captured by Nappy Klains, the Napolean of Crime, who sets a trap for Superman and Batman. Bruce Jr. and Kal-El Jr. thwart Nappy and his gang just as Superman, Batman, and Batwoman arrive. Lois and Kathy realize how foolish they were to quarrel. A few years later, when they are teenagers, Bruce Jr. and Kal-El Jr. are punished for mischievous acts and rebellious behavior, however the boys insist they are innocent. It is eventually discovered that Mxyzptlk Jr. and Bat-Mite Jr. have been posing as the two teens. After Mxyzptlk Jr. is tricked into returning to the 5th dimension, Bat-Mite Jr. explains that Mxyzptlk Jr. used his magic to brainwash him into helping. Earth-216: The adventures of Batman Jr. and Superman Jr. appeared to take place in the 1970s. Although one story indicated that their stories were actually a computer simulation, it was later stated that they existed on Earth-216.
