Thomas Wayne was a doctor of Gotham City. He was the husband of Martha Wayne, and the father of Bruce Wayne.
After taking his wife and son to see Footlight Frenzy at the Monarch Theatre, his wife was robbed at gunpoint. When he interceded to protect his wife, both of them were shot in cold blood murder by a second assailant, Jack Napier.
Thomas' son Bruce would grow up to become Batman.
