Cast. A billionaire socialite who dedicates himself to protecting Gotham City from its criminal underworld as a bat masked vigilante who is hailed as its Dark Knight at night. Bale said he was confident in his choice to return in the role because of the positive response to his portrayal in Batman Begins. He continued training in the Keysi Fighting Method and performed many of his own stunts,1. Batsuit allowed him to move with greater agility. Bale described Batmans dilemma as whether his crusade is something that has an end. Can he quit and have an ordinary life The kind of manic intensity someone has to have to maintain the passion and the anger that they felt as a child, takes an effort after a while, to keep doing that. At some point, you have to exorcise your demons. He added, Now you have not just a young man in pain attempting to find some kind of an answer, you have somebody who actually has power, who is burdened by that power, and is having to recognize the difference between attaining that power and holding on to it. Bale felt Batmans personality had been strongly established in the first film, so it was unlikely his character would be overshadowed by the villains, stating I have no problem with competing with someone else. And thats going to make a better movie. Martha Wayne Wikipedia. Martha Wayne born Martha Kane2 is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the superhero. Batman. She is the mother of Bruce Wayne, who is Batman, and wife of Dr. Thomas Wayne. When she and her husband are murdered in a street robbery, her son becomes inspired to fight crime as the vigilante Batman. BackgroundeditMartha Wayne first appeared in Detective Comics 3. November 1. 93. 9 in a story by Bob Kane and Bill Finger which detailed the origin of Batman. Initially little more than a cipher whose death inspired her heroic son, later comics would expand upon her history. Born Martha Kane a maiden name given in homage to co creator Bob Kane, Martha was the heir to the Kane Chemical fortune and a member of one of Gotham Citys wealthiest families. It has been revealed she is related to Kate Kane Batwoman in Detective Comics Rebirth issue 9. Kanes of Gotham, such as Bette Kane Flamebird. Despite her Irish Catholic background, in her youth, Martha had a reputation as a notorious party girl, socialite, and debutante, frequenting all the most prestigious country clubs, night clubs, and soirees. She also had a developed social conscience and often used her familys wealth and status to champion causes and charities. As revealed in the miniseries Batman Family by John Francis Moore, Marthas closest friend in those days was the woman Celia Kazantkakis. Both were renowned for their beauty, which caught the attention of a gangster named Denholm. Martha dated Denholm for a time prior to meeting Thomas Wayne, though she was unaware of his true nature at the time. Celia, who had had previous dealings with Denholm, became very protective of her friend and conspired to get this thug out of her life. In the process it came to light just why Celia was familiar with him. Celia, it turned out, was a criminal herself and had been embezzling money from an orphanage that was one of Marthas charities. She attempted to hide the evidence of this by setting fire to the building but Martha discovered her duplicity. Before Celia departed for her familys home in Greece, Martha threatened to expose her should she ever return to Gotham. Aye Dark Overlord Cards And Pockets. Celia would return to Gotham many years later as Athena, the leader of a criminal cartel. In this guise, she attempted to stage a coup of Wayne Enterprises,4 until Batman discovered the true nature of his mothers history with Celia and defeated her. Shortly after Celias departure, Martha met and fell in love with prominent physician and philanthropist Dr. Thomas Wayne. They were wed soon after and Martha eventually gave birth to their son Bruce Wayne. Though mention of Marthas occupation is small, some stories have indicated that, like Bruce, she was unable to allow the crime of Gotham to continue unabated. This version fought against the abuse of Gothams children and against the trafficking of children around the globe. She headed a covert detection agency with help from Commissioner Gordon and the family butler Alfredtheir goals were to stop abuse against children, in the hopes that those children would not grow up to turn into abusers and criminals themselves. Learning of his mothers mission prior to death, Batman gained further inspiration and motive for helping the innocent of Gotham. When Bruce Wayne was eight years old, his parents took him to a screening of a Zorro movie at a cinema in Gothams Park Row. Returning to the car through an alley, they were confronted by a lone gunman, who attempted to steal Martha Waynes pearl necklace, an anniversary gift from Thomas. In the ensuing struggle, the thief shot both the Waynes dead Later versions of the story claimed that only Thomas was shot Martha died instead from the shock of his murder due to her having a weak heart. This retcon was ultimately undone, with Martha again being gunned down with Thomas. In the wake of this tragedy, Park Row was given the nickname Crime Alley. The identity of the Waynes killer has varied through different versions of the Batman story. Initially, he was said to be the criminal Joe Chill. Later retellings would claim that Chill had been hired by gangster Lew Moxon, an enemy of Thomas Wayne, and told to make the killings look like a robbery. After DC Comics history altering Zero Hour series, this interpretation was abandoned in favor of the Waynes deaths being a random street crime. The killer was thought to have never been caught, adding to the tragedy and universality of Batmans origin. After the further continuity tweaks of the Infinite Crisis miniseries, DC has once again returned to the Joe Chill interpretation. Since her death, Martha Wayne has only appeared in the Batman series in flashback and in the occasional out of body experience or hallucination. Her most significant appearance in this latter category is in the miniseries Batman Death and the Maidens by Greg Rucka. In this story, Batman ingests an elixir given to him by his enemy Ras al Ghul, and believes he is having a conversation with his dead parents. Martha is depicted here as a beautiful woman whose face is marred by a bleeding bullet wound, suggesting that Bruce remembers her this way because he has become focused on her death rather than her life, the wound vanishing after she forces him to acknowledge that issue. Martha strongly disapproves of her sons costumed crusade, fearing he has thrown away his chance for happiness, although her husband notes that they disapprove of what being Batman has cost Bruce rather than disapproving of Batman himself. As she and Thomas depart, they assure Bruce that just because the passing of time has lessened his grief does not mean that he no longer cares for them, and, as a result, Bruce is able to accept that he is Batman because he chooses to be, not because he has to be. In Jeph Loebs Batman stories, Bruce feels responsible for his parents murder because he advised Martha to wear the infamous pearl necklace the night she was murdered. Had she not worn it, the mugger might have not killed them, or even have been attracted to them. In Death and the Maidens she claims that the pearls were fakes, and that she wouldnt have worn real ones simply to go to the theater. As this experience may have been merely a hallucination, it is unknown whether or not this is true. Alleged double lifeeditAnother mystery about Martha Waynes final fate is unveiled in the Batman R. I. P. storyline, where it is revealed that the Kanes hired a detective to prowl about the circumstances of her death, always suspecting that Thomas Wayne married her for her money. Many years later, the detective hired by the Kanes presents to Commissioner Gordon a dossier describing Martha as a helpless, frail woman hooked on drugs by an abusive husband, who frequently indulged in orgies and extramarital affairs, taking Alfred Pennyworth as her lover. The detective pushes his theory further, disclosing to Gordon a theory about Thomas Wayne ordering the fateful shooting to get revenge over an unfaithful wife and disappearing before being hit by the scandal. The villainous Simon Hurt, head of the Black Glove cabal, bent on getting revenge on Batman, claims to Alfred, taken hostage, to be Thomas Wayne himself, returned to enact his vengeance once again over the unfaithful Martha by ruining her sons life. Alfred disproves this version and questions the truth of the revelations about Thomas Wayne. Simon Hurt is unmasked by Bruce Wayne as Mangrove Pierce, a former impersonator trying to ruin Thomas and Bruce Waynes lives. Simon implies that Pierce may be another forged identity, but tacitly admits that the stories of Marthas sexual relationship with Alfred and the circumstances of her drug addiction and homicide are clever forgeries designed to break Batman or coerce him to join the Black Glove as a means to silence the rumors about his family.
