With The Batman out now, and wowing audiences everywhere, there are a lot of questions buzzing around as to what all this dirt on the Wayne family history is all about. While the film answers many of our questions (and leaves us with plenty of others), there is, believe-it-or-not, some sort of precedent for the film's interpretation of Martha Wayne. While we don't see much of her or her husband Thomas in the film, other than some old news clips like most Batman films, their presence still runs deep. This is especially true as the Riddler (Paul Dano) continues to expose Gotham City's criminal underbelly.
Most Batman-related media doesn't touch too much on Martha Wayne's backstory, with countless Batman films, animated series, and the television shows, such as Gotham, exploring the events of her and Thomas' death more than their lives (though they have been featured more prominently in Pennyworth). While The Batman is no different (we still don't see much of their lives), we do get some more information about Martha and her own family history that's pretty different from the mainstream comic books
