 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 00:44, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Cannolis, be careful when answering and avoid bot-like answers without properly researching. The Batman Vol. 3 #20 pag. 21 mentions the middle name of Bruce Wayne, Thomas, therefore, his middle name is considered canon. Amitie 10g (talk) 03:45, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

User:Amitie 10g, it's an intentionally canned reply explaining how to properly format an edit request and what to have at hand before making a request. Looking through the talk page archives, this has been discussed before and the inclusion of a middle name has been contested as the middle name has varied. So : Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before posting an edit request. Cannolis (talk) 05:53, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Establish concensus, that is I will do. Thanks. Amitie 10g (talk) 13:03, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Bruce Wayne's middle name is "Thomas". This is mentioned in "I Am Bane – Part Five" (Batman Vol. 3 #20 p. 21). Since Batman is copyrighted, uploading the whole comic book is illegal. However, a post in Reddit has a link to a scan of the exact page of the issue (I intentionally not linked directly to the post nor the scan to avoid problems. You may find that post by using your favorite search engine; the use of AI mode will ease the process).

Said that, and since his middle name is considered canon due the mention of that in an issue of a main comic (not alternative universe), I propose the addition of his middle name in, maybe, the infobox, explaining clearly the origin of his middle name and providing proof of that, the mentioned Batman issue (Batman Vol. 3 #20 p. 21).

His father's name is Thomas Wayne, so we can figure why his middle name is also "Thomas". Anyway, the middle name is probably infrequently used in actual stories. Spider-Man/Peter Benjamin Parker's middle name is "Benjamin", but how often is he mentioned as "Benjamin" instead of "Peter" in actual stories? Dimadick (talk) 22:35, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

In the comics, it stated that Batman was able to control his bats in his batcave at will giving him the name Batman. Gochyooh (talk) 10:19, 4 September 2026 (UTC)
