Gotham Renewal Corporation

## Gotham Renewal Corporation

### Affiliation

Gotham Sanitation
Falcone Crime Syndicate

## Appearances

### Film(s)

*The Batman*

*"For a BRIGHTER tomorrow."*
―Gotham Renewal Corporation motto[src]
The **Gotham Renewal Corporation** is a corrupt business based in Gotham City. Its purpose is the restoration of Gotham City, which includes recycling and sanitation. However, after the death of its founder Thomas Wayne, criminals and corrupt officials began to use the corporation as a front to bribe officials or launder money.

## History

### Creation

Thomas Wayne was one of the few in Gotham who realized that the city could be better, but it was still in ruin and despair. In response to this, he created the Gotham Renewal Corporation, intending to make Gotham a better place, and the place that is promised to the people.

### Used by Carmine Falcone

*"Through Renewal. Renewal is everything."
"The Renewal fund?"
"Yeah. After Thomas Wayne died, They all went after it like vultures. The Mayor. Falcone. Maroni. Everyone got in on it. It was perfect for making bribes, laundering money. Huge charitable fund with no oversight, everybody got a piece, but Falcone wanted more. So we orchestrated a play to take down Maroni big. He'd rat out his Drops operation, made the careers of everybody that went after him, and install them all as his puppets. You think this goddamn election matters? Falcone's the mayor. He'd been the mayor for the last twenty years."*
―William Kenzie to James Gordon and Batman[src]
Following the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, criminals quickly realized that it was the perfect opportunity to make tons of money and bribe city officials, such as Don Mitchell, Jr., Pete Savage, and Gil Colson. The two top dogs involved were Carmine Falcone and Salvatore Maroni, and both their crime syndicates were making a good profit off of the Renewal Corporation. However, Falcone got greedy, and ratted Maroni out to Mitchell, which caused the Gotham City Police Department to execute the largest drug bust in Gotham's history.

The Renewal Corporation's true purpose continued to be a secret, until a serial killer known as the Riddler exposed the lies of the renewal, and the assassination of Carmine Falcone leaves its future in doubt.

Nirvana

*"That's when it came to me that, rather than make Bruce Wayne the playboy version we've seen before, there's another version who had gone through a great tragedy and became a recluse. Kurt Cobain had a relationship with fame, where being famous was not his goal. He loved music, but the idea of being famous for music was a double-edged sword for him. And that made me think of Rob Pattinson, actually. I felt that this rock-star vibe suited him well. After all, he became a pop-culture icon at a very young age and had to carry that burden too, and extricate himself from it to become the actor he is today."*
―Matt Reeves

Martha Wayne

**Martha Wayne** (nee Arkham) was a billionaire and a socialite. She was the mother of Bruce Wayne and the wife of the late Thomas Wayne.

## Biography

### Early Life

Martha Arkham was born in Gotham City sometime in 1966, During her childhood, Martha's mother killed her father and then shot herself. Following this tragedy, Martha spent time in and out of both her family's Arkham State Hospital and Gotham Asylum for an unknown mental illness.

She later married Thomas Wayne and gave birth to their only child, who they named Bruce. During Thomas' run for Mayor, a reporter named Edward Elliot learned of Martha's illness and threatened to expose it to the world. Thomas, not caring about his political career and only about Martha and Bruce, went to mobster Carmine Falcone to have Falcone put the "fear of god" into Elliot and force him to not run the story. Unfortunately, Elliot turned up dead.

### Assassination

One night when walking home from seeing a movie with their son, both Thomas and Martha were gunned down by a mugger in Crime Alley right in front of their son. After their murders, Bruce was later adopted by the Wayne Family butler Alfred Pennyworth and grew up to become a vengeful vigilante.

## Personality

Most of Martha's personality remains unknown, however, according to Riddler, after the tragic death of her father and later the suicide of her mother, Martha became mentally ill being sent to Arkham State Hospital. But after meeting and later marrying Thomas, Martha seemingly overcame her illness.

Riddler's Cult

* Logo
* Members

*"No more lies!"*
―The cult motto[src]
The **Riddler's Cult** were a Gotham-based terrorist group active during Batman's early career. Inspired by the Riddler, the group followed their founder and leader in exposing the corruption of the city's elite through instilling fear and causing destruction.

## History

### Early Foundation

The group started as middle to lower-class citizens of Gotham City who were disillusioned by the reign of corrupt elites and officials. Growing sympathetic to the villain's cause despite his method being so violent that Batman's brutal approach as the city's protector at the time looked tamer in comparison, the number of these people grew unchecked as they kept themselves up to date on Riddler's progress through following him on social media.

### Battle at Gotham Square Garden

Sometime during Batman and Gordon's investigation on Riddler's pattern of serial killings, the would-be members of Riddler's Cult established contact with Riddler, marking its eventual foundation. They assisted him in placing car bombs around Gotham to flood the city, but that's not all. They also procured weapons, mass-produced uniforms modeled after their leader's costume to show their devotion and conceal their identity, and schemed to assassinate mayor-elect Bella Reál amid chaos. During his eventual arrest, Riddler nearly slipped up the existence of his organization but managed to remain silent so Batman won't have enough time to figure out his endgame and subsequently stopped it prematurely. During their attempts to assassinate the mayor, they were confronted by Batman and Selina Kyle. Despite putting up a good fight against Batman, they were ultimately defeated. After the GCPD arrived on the scene, the remaining cultists were arrested.

Murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne

*"We regret to inform you that... last night, at 10:47 P.M., Thomas and Martha Wayne were shot and killed. They were coming out of the Monarch Theater when the couple was attacked. Thomas and Martha died on site. They are survived by their son, Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the tragedy himself."*
―Gotham News 1 Reporter[src]
The **Murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne** was an unsolved homicide that took place in Crime Alley, in which a low-level crook murdered Martha Wayne and Thomas Wayne.

## History

### The Murder

In October 2001, Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne went to watch a picture at a theater with their son Bruce, the same night of Thomas' mayoral election. On their way out, they proceeded into an alley, where they encountered a low-level crook who shot both Thomas and Martha dead, sparing Bruce.

### Aftermath

Afterwards, Bruce was orphaned and raised under the guardianship of his butler Alfred Pennyworth. The death of his parents gave him a scarring disorder of PTSD and trauma, eventually leading to the birth of the Batman, a way of him combating his demons with a wrath of vengeance against the criminals of Gotham City.

Twenty years later, a serial killer known as the Riddler began assassinating key political figures within the city, and exposing a conspiracy tied to Thomas Wayne's renewal plan. During the conspiracy, Riddler revealed Thomas's connection with Carmine Falcone, and the assassination of reporter Edward Elliot. Disturbed, Bruce approached Falcone asking him about the incident, where Falcone revealed how Salvatore Maroni had a grudge against him and Thomas' alliance and hinted at him being the indirect killer of the Wayne's. However, when Bruce approached Alfred, after his confrontation with Falcone, Alfred revealed how Thomas approached the mob boss after he learned the revelation of Elliot's death and told him he would surrender himself to the police, although he was killed on the same day. Alfred, albeit was never fully sure if Falcone was really the one who sent a hitman after the Wayne's, as he also suggested it could've been a scared crook who accidentally pulled the trigger on the couple. Till present day, Bruce or Alfred, never really found out who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne, with Salvatore Maroni's incarceration and Carmine Falcone's death at the hands of the Riddler, the answer remains in the shadows.

## Trivia

* The Wayne Killer, as he eventually became known, was never caught or even identified. A fact which continues to haunt Bruce Wayne and fuels his obsession with fighting crime.
