In all the death scenes of Bruce's parents Martha's pearl necklace goes everywhere. It's not a real loss though considering the pearls on a real pearl necklace are individually knotted so they don't go everywhere like they always do when Martha gets killed.
I understand it's probably more for effect, but it makes Thomas Wayne look cheap.
In one of the comics, a spirit of Martha told Bruce they were fake- "do you really think I'd wear my best pearls to see a MOVIE!?"
But that spirit was conjured by Ra's, so it's open to interpretation how real it was.
Are you trolling or is that for real?
It's kind of cool ret-conning if it's real. Irreverent, but still kinda cool.
No it really happened!
The comic was called Death and the Maidens. Ra's offered Bruce a potion which would allow him to speak with his parents' ghosts, and it apparently worked, but in-story it was still possibly all imaginary.
I stopped reading comics in the 70's, but that does sound like exactly the sort of dickhead thing Ra's would have done back then
He's a cheapskate for not hiring private security.
