Martha Wayne

"Don't be afraid Bruce, the only way to fight your fears is to confront them, down in that cavern waits a boy who will no longer fear fear the screeching and flapping wings of bats, will no longer run, let them fly towards you, I have faith in you, Bruce."

-Martha Wayne

Martha Wayne is the mother of Bruce Wayne and an artist in Gotham City before her murder at the hands of a mugger in Crime Alley, alongside her husband, Thomas. Their death serves as the main reason Bruce took the mantle of Batman, to make sure no one would suffer the same fate. The death of the Waynes was often considered the starting point of the high rate of crime that would begin soon after.
