CEO of Wayne Enterprises, Fox has the "Midas Touch", an ability to turn failing businesses into successful conglomerates. When Bruce Wayne's personal holdings were poorly managed, Fox was called in and brought a balance to both Wayne's private and business finances. In addition, he also manages the particulars of the Wayne Foundation as well while Wayne dictates the organization's general policies.

In the film, Fox is a research head who was unfairly demoted to overseeing the supplies of Wayne Enterprises' aborted research projects and prototypes. Upon returning to the business, Bruce Wayne strikes up a fast friendship which allows him to all but recruit Fox as his armorer for his Batman activities. Fox proves invaluable in this role even when he is fired by the company's heartless CEO, although for the purposes of deniability, he prefers not to be completely privy to his employer's reasons for his requests. In addition, Fox provides the cure for the Scarecrow's fear toxin.

At the end of the film, Wayne, after getting majority control of Wayne Enterprises' shares, makes Fox his company's CEO and gives him the pleasure of breaking it to his predecessor that he's fired.

In the film, it is somewhat clear that Fox knows Wayne is Batman. While it is not fully stated, it is vastly unlikely that a man of Fox's intellect would not decipher the obvious, especially if he saw the news coverage of the Batmobile, a unique prototype vehicle he loaned to Wayne earlier.
