Thomas and Martha Wayne

Thomas Wayne is the late father of Bruce Wayne in the Super Friends animated franchise. He is voiced by Paul Kirby.

Thomas and his wife, Martha, 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 was a major step forward in growth from its squeaky clean image.
