Thomas and Martha Wayne

Gotham's been good to us. Most people of our "status" don't seem to realize that. They're content with sipping champagne, gossiping about the latest scandal and not the murders or constant thefts that the "ordinary people" have to fear every day of their lives. But we play nice. We smile through our teeth and bite back the insults that we so often want to say. Because sometimes, in order to do good, to break people out of apathy and make things happen, you have to lie and mask your true feelings. We've tried to pass this onto Bruce… in small amounts of course. He's only eight years old, there's no rush to put the weight of the world on his shoulders. That's the last thing we want. No, we just want him to understand that if people have the ability to do good, they should do it.
