Martha Wayne

Martha Wayne is the late mother of Bruce Wayne in the Super Friends animated franchise. She is voiced by Lucy Lee.

Thomas and her husband, Thomas, were gunned down one night by the mugger Joe Chill right in front of their young son, Bruce. This tragic event led to Bruce growing up into the costumed crime fighter Batman.

Behind the scenes

 * The deaths of Batman's parents in "The Fear" was the first time their deaths had been depicted outside of what DC Comics had published. Of course, you didn't actually see them get shot, as the camera moved away from that scene, but given how Super Friends began, it's a major growth in how the series began with its squeaky clean image.
