Detective Comics #1093 Review: Batman’s World Is a Vampire
The concept known as “Mercy of the Father” follows the ripples caused by Dr. Thomas Wayne’s act of mercy towards Joe Chill. This is a significant event in the Batman origin story, where readers appreciate the dramatic irony when they learn that it was Dr. Wayne who saved the life of the man who would later murder both him and his wife, Martha, in front of their son, Bruce. However, this chain of events doesn’t stop there. At the moment Dr. Wayne intervened, Chill also had a pregnant teenage girlfriend. Martha Wayne helped her escape before their tragic deaths. Fast forward to present day, and Chill’s daughter, Scarlett Martha Scott, has reappeared in Bruce Wayne’s life and is now a suspect in Batman’s current investigation.
