Thomas Wayne (Earth-9)

"Mr. Wayne understands what you're feeling. He wants to give you a home. That is a gift, Dick. Give it another try. Please. He lost his parents, too."

- Social Worker to Dick Grayson

Thomas Wayne was a billionaire philanthropist and the father of Bruce Wayne.

Fatherhood
At some point, Thomas Wayne married Martha Wayne, and they had a son named Bruce Wayne. During Bruce's childhood, his parents were murdered in front of him, and this acted as the catalyst for him to become Batman. After their deaths, the Thomas and Martha Wayne Memorial Hospital was named in their memory.
