Douglas Fredericks

Fredericks is a board member at Wayne Enterprise under William Earle and Lucius Fox.

Batman Begins
Frederick was a board member at Wayne Enterprise who questions whether or not Thomas Wayne would have taken the company public only to be silenced by Earle who told him that it was time to stop thinking about what Thomas Wayne would have done. He was also present when Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham and came to Wayne Enterprise looking for a job.

Frederick later attended Bruce's thirtieth birthday party but left when Bruce acted drunk and called all of the people at the parties "phonies" and told them to get out. On his way out, Fredericks told Bruce, "the apple has fallen far from the tree."

After Wayne Enterprise had gone public, Bruce bought most of the shares and replaced Earle with Lucius Fox as CEO but kept Fredericks and the other board members.

The Dark Knight Rises
Eight years since Harvey Dent's death, Wayne Enterprise has gone bankrupt and Bruce gave ownership of Wayne Enterprise to Miranda Tate. Bruce attempted to join one of the meetings but his rival, John Daggett said he wasn't an employee nor owned the company so he had to go. Despite Fredericks and another member of the board defending Bruce, saying he had every right to be at the meeting.

When the terrorist leader Bane learned about the green energy project and the technology used for it could be used to make a nuclear bomb. Bane took Fox and Tate hostage and asked Fox to choose a third board member to accompany them but Freedericks volunteered himself. Bane brought his three hostages down to the sight of where the technology for the green energy project was. Bane had Fredericks held at gunpoint, telling Fox to activate the machine. Fox declined to do so and Bane mentioned to him that there were eight other board members before Tate talked Lucius into doing it. Lucius activated the machine and Bane's thugs allowed Fredericks to live.

After the riot that took place and Bane and Tate were dead, and Bruce was believed to have died in the riots, Fredericks and the rest of the board discussed what would happen to the Wayne residence. To get out of debt, the land and house would be sold to the city to be made into an orphanage while Bruce's belongings would be sold and the proceeds to be given to Alfred Pennyworth.
