I absolutely love your view on Thomas and Martha so I was curious on what you think about their canon self because the difference between your version and dc version is surprisingly big
Well, I’d say generally, my interpretations are just amplified versions of their canon selves! (Aside from Russian Martha and cig mom Thomas ofc)
but id say it’s fairly difficult to determine Thomas and Martha's characters due to their narrative obscurity.
A lot of tangible, solid evidence of their personalities and how they were as people is often showed behind the scenes, flashbacks, etc, so it can be rather challenging to construct a solid depiction or guideline for their character.
I find It fascinating how they play such a relevant role in Batman and Bruce’s mythology, yet they mostly live as reclusive memories in the actual story.
I think they’re very fun to write about because clearly, DC doesn’t have a straightforward approach when it comes to them, so, it’s mostly up to the viewer’s preference (which can apply to many DC characters in their own right. )
Of course there’s elements that show clear personality traits both in the comics and movies, but I recomand just making soup out of it.
For exemple, I don’t think Thomas would hit Bruce, as some comics show/infirm, but he’d definitely show him horror movies and give Alfred jewelry (marking a territory Mayhaps 👀)
