This supercut, courtesy of New York Magazine’s Vulture blog, is two minutes of Thomas & Martha Wayne being violently and repeatedly murdered, going as far back as Super Friends all the way up to this past Monday’s premiere episode of Gotham. The scene, animated or live action, TV show or Movie, plays out pretty much the same in every case, but one key difference is in the 1989 Batman movie directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton has the man who would eventually become the Joker being the one who murdered the Waynes. Hopefully this latest brutal killing of Thomas & Martha Wayne will be the last one we see for awhile, I certainly don’t think it needs to be explored yet again in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman…
