Wayne Manor is a fictional American setting appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics and is the personal residence of Bruce Wayne, who is also Batman. The residence is typically depicted as a large mansion on grounds outside Gotham City, maintained by the Wayne family's butler, Alfred Pennyworth. While the earliest stories showed Bruce Wayne buying the house himself, by the 1950s at the latest, retroactive continuity had established that the manor had belonged to the Wayne family for several generations. It was without exception referred to in the 1960s TV series as "stately Wayne Manor."
