Thomas Wayne was a wealthy citizen of Gotham City who married Martha, the woman who would give birth to his son Bruce.

As Bruce's childhood progressed, Thomas revealed himself to be uncommitted to his marriage with Martha, even willing to have secret romantic relations with other women. Thomas and Martha went on to be massacred in a botched mugging in front of young Bruce, who would grow up to become the vigilante known as Batman.[1]
