Bruce Wayne is too plain.

I did inquire if it's possible to order a jubilee bracelet, and I've had different answers, my AD said I need to wait 5 years for the warranty to end, another AD said they only change bracelets for Datejusts.

After asking for a Bruce Wayne (126710GRNR) on jubilee, Pepsi, or Sprite on jubilee, my AD told me he's getting a Bruce Wayne but on Oyster.

I am deciding whether I should buy the Bruce Wayne and use it as my daily and sell my Batman since I really like the look of the Bruce Wayne, or if I should just keep my Batman and keep waiting for a GMT on jubilee?

If you had to choose between Batman on Oyster or Bruce Wayne on Oyster, which would you choose and why?
i actually prefer the bruce wayne on oyster over the batman IMO. it's more "understated", which i tend to prefer.

I much prefer BLNR over GRNR (no hesitation for me) but of course this is just a matter of taste. If what you really want is a GMT with jubilee, find the right AD to order it or dive in the grey market and you will find one.

My Pepsi came with jubilee but I wanted to own the oyster as well. My AD told me that I would have to wait 5 years to order an oyster bracelet, so I bought in the secondary market at a very good price, although it is true that the jubilee bracelet is more difficult to find and more expensive.

It is fantastic to own both bracelets, it is almost like owning two different watches. I strongly recommend you that.

While both of your choices are great watches, I think you would really miss the BLNR.

I have to admit I have never heard of Bruce Wayne as a nickname for a Rolex watch.

Take the BW

Take the Bruce Wayne on Oyster and then trade your Batman for a Batman on jubilee.

I have a batman and a pepsi. I actually bought a submariner bracelet (with the glidelock clasp) and put the batman on it. I have the pepsi on jubilee. My least favorite combo is with the polished center link oyster - it gets all smudged up and shows scratches very easily.

Between the black/blue and the black/grey I would pick the black/blue all day.
Between the PCL oyster and the jubilee I would pick the jubilee all day.

You can buy a jubilee bracelet from grey dealer or chrono24 pretty easily. Just buy one and be done with it.
