Martha Wayne is a character in DC Comics, primarily known as the wife of Thomas Wayne and the mother of Bruce Wayne (Batman). Her death, alongside her husband's, during a mugging in Gotham City, serves as the catalyst for Bruce's transformation into Batman.

While depictions vary across different media, Martha is often portrayed as a compassionate and philanthropic woman dedicated to improving Gotham's social conditions. Her maiden name is usually Kane, connecting her to another prominent Gotham family.

In The Lego Batman Movie, Martha Wayne makes a brief appearance in a flashback sequence, highlighting the tragic event that motivates Batman. The scene establishes her as a loving mother whose death deeply affects Bruce and shapes his future.
