ivyficSome of you may have already seen this, but I have to reccomend the best Batman fic ever written.
Fandom: Batman
Title: Wayne Enterprises
Author: Unpretty
Warnings: None
Link: Wayne Enterprises
Author's Summary: Someone asked me how Bruce Wayne's company is structured and I went a little overboard, so now I'm archiving it Because Reasons. Feel free to use this for your own fics if you are also writing a universe where the Wayne family turned spite and pettiness into a billion-dollar empire.
Why This Must Be Read: This is the corporate structure of Wayne Enterprises with snarky commentary on the businesses and why they were founded. It is amazing. As someone who works in the finance/business world, it is a constant annoyance just how poorly fiction deals with corporate structure and corporate governance. And here is Unpretty to fix it.

An excerpt:
- Wayne Co. (1898)
- Started specifically to get in on the whole 'mail order catalog' craze.
- Even more specifically, the ones full of snake oil. Just, pages and pages of horseshit potions and elixirs.
- We wrapped this tapeworm in some cocaine for ultimate weight loss! Order today!
- They also sold other things, eventually. But mostly weird bottles of nonsense.
- Actually did a lot better in the Great Depression when they sold cheap shit by mail, only some of which still had tapeworms and cocaine in it.
- These days it's very Sharper Image. Lots of toys and airplane catalogs.
