something something something the Waynes refusing to allow the Kanes to give Martha a jewish burial because it would “look bad” if she wasnt buried in the Wayne Crypt or whatever.

Something something something about Thomas and Martha Wayne being the only ones buried on the manor grounds after Bruce returns from his world tour.

#look. i am aware that im approaching this as someone raised orthodox.#but the cultural horror around not being allowed to bury your dead in the way your traditions say…#it runs so so deep. it is quiet literally the basis of like. all the horror stories i hears growing up at summer camp*#*subject to my horrific memory #and i saw a post talking about the kanes not showing up to marthas funeral and i started thinking about WHY they wouldn’t #because. also. not escorting the dead is A Big Deal in many ways.#and just. all you want to do is bury your sister. you already know youve failed her son. you already know thats a fight her husbands family #will not let you win #and they cant even give you this because it will cost them some whispered looks across gilded halls #and so you dont even know where to start your mourning.#idk idk idk its 10.30 pm and i have done none of my to do list but #also exhuming a body to bring it to proper Jewish burial is allowed under specific circumstances #like halachacly #and i do think this would be important to martha actually #regardless of her level of observance #because again. depending on where the kanes came from. that generational scar runs deep.
