Another Crazy Fan Theory: Thomas Wayne As Batman on Gotham

I’ve found another crazy fan theory about Gotham, and I think it’s possibly even more bizarre than the Cobblepot is the Joker theory I just wrote about two days ago. An article on comicbookmovie.com, written by their writer darthbatman93 reveals this seriously messed up theory:

"So here is a little theory of mine. What if Gotham takes place in the Earth 2 universe?On Earth 2, Thomas Wayne is actually Batman. In the Earth 2 rendition of Thomas Wayne, Wayne saved a mobster when he was young by the name of Francesco Francavilla from a hit. To show his gratitude, Francavilla threw Thomas a huge rock star style party, where he met Martha, and became close friends with Francavilla and later supplied drugs to the mob. In Gotham, it definitely seems like there are a lot of connections between Wayne Enterprises and the Falcone crime family. It has also been pointed out a few times that since the death of the Wayne’s that things in Gotham have been getting crazier. Maybe Thomas played a big part in keeping things flowing with Falcone?There have been some interpretations of the Earth 2 universe where when Thomas was still in medical school in in the 70’s or 80’s, he developed connections to the Falcone crime family after he saved Frankie Falcone from a gunshot wound. Afterwards though, the same thing happened as the Francavilla story, where Thomas was thrown a huge party and introduced to the world of drugs, but in this interpretation it was only when Bruce was Batman that he discovered his father was still alive, and after Darkseid killed him, Thomas took his son’s place as the Batman. So they can sort of mix and weave the two stories together to make it fit into the show better."

If you ask me this is just another ridiculous nonsense theory about Gotham, what’s next someone’s going to claim that Martha Wayne is Gotham’s Joker? After all in one crazy alternate universe the Wayne’s saw Bruce killed instead of the other way around and although we never truly see her as the Joker she goes insane and apparently she painted her face to look like the Joker’s smile with blood. This theory seems about as likely. Look, whether or not Thomas Wayne was in business with the Falcone family or not, he and Martha are very much dead. We have seen, and the creators of Gotham have said, that Gotham is the story of the city becoming that which we are familiar with in Batman’s time. Bruce is already becoming a great detective and is already very determined, he will be Batman, once he is grown, and that’s it.
