While Batman fans obviously know the character’s real name is Bruce Wayne, many don’t know why he was named Bruce. The name comes from Robert the Bruce (officially Robert I) who was King of Scotland. He was a popular warrior-king who successfully led Scotland to defeat England in its War of Independence.
Not a good looking chap, was he?
Bruce is a very popular name in Canada, at least among older people. Less so, now that Scottish ancestry isn’t so dominant in Canada as it once was.
