Is Bruce Wayne A Religious Person?

I always thought he was catholic..

As far as I know, he isn't, but I haven't read everything lol.

If you read Batman Year 2 a key conversation touches upon that issue:

Lesley Thompkins: "Do you ever pray, Bruce?"
Bruce: "No, not snce that night."

As far as we know, Bruce Wayne has never attended church and I think i've read somewhere a bit of him being fairly critical of religion... I really would not think of Bruce wayne as a religious man...

Bruce is basically like me....neutral. He is neither a religious person or an atheist. Which I think is pretty cool that they keep those out of the storyline. Of course Batman uses science to fight crime. He also has encounter Supernatural beings like The Demon, Spectre, and Shazam. You can basically assume he's split on both science and religion.

Yeah that's what I would think. I think he's in the same ballpark as I am. He believes there's most likely something out there that is beyond us, but he doesn't dwell on a religion or focus his thoughts on the Bible or anything like that. He's more into logic, and by seeing all the stuff that goes on in the universe, logically not everything can be explained by science, but blind faith isn't his way to go. Of course, even though I think he's kind of like me in that attitude, that had no affect on me liking Batman. I hate it when people do that lol.

I think he kniows they exist, sure. But he's not persay christian or whatever, as you said: neutral!

BATMAN DOESNT CARE ABOUT RELIGION

AND THAT N00B EVIDENTLY DIDM'T CARE ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE WAS WRITING IN CAPS!

lol, but he's the world's greatest detective. Why wouldn't he be interested in the biggest mystery of all time?

There is a difference between interest and belief...

AHAH! I knew he wasn't athiest/agnostic.

Hmm... I believe he was raised a Catholic, yeah... and hobnestly I don't believe he believes himself... or not actively...

Well I know he KNOWS there's a God. He was on the Justice League (not sure about anymore, have been busy with things other than reading comics) with Zauriel, who's an Angel. Haven't they come into contact with The Spectre, who is God's Wrath? Too many supernatural things, and things that have to do with a higher being have taken place for him to just ignore those things. I think he's too smart to remain ignorant on that.

BUT there is a difference in KNOWING and BELIEVING in it. I think he knows but chooses not to believe in it. Chooses not to think that Him being there will change any thing of have any effect in his life. Wasn't that the case with Constantine? He knew but didn't believe? Something like that.

My 2 Cents...

I agree there...

If he knows, how can't he believe? How can someone not believe in aliens if they actually meet them?

Just b/c you have proof of something doesn't mean you'll BELIEVE IN IT. He knows it exists but probably chooses to not have faith in it. To not believe that it has any effect in his life whatsoever.

Agreed. He likely puts that encounter in the same category as aliens, demons, ghosts, etc. No religion, though.

I think he believes in god but just doesn't worship him.

I believe he's really grown apart from religion after being raised as a good Catholic boy... heh... go Anglican church!!!!!!!!!!
