This universe of discourse also is n’t genial to Harvey Dent . After he is down , his son is brought under the guardianship of Thomas whileHarvey ’s wife belong insaneat Arkham Asylum . InFlashpoint Beyond # 3by Geoff Johns , Tim Sheridan , Jeremy Adams , Xermanico , and Mikel Janin , Thomas move to visit her as Batman and she sees mightily through his masque , knowing exactly who he is . She then chastises Thomas for being a dreadful husband even before Bruce was drink down . Thomas cheated on his married woman Martha and was an opprobrious dipsomaniac .
Thomas ’s behavior before Bruce go bad is very telltale into what type of character he is . It also explain a lot about what type of Batman he becomes . compare to Bruce , Thomas is much more violent and even uses firearms . His brutality and rage most likely stalk from who he was as a person beforehand . His drinking and cheating not only debauch him , but also labour his married woman mad even before the loss of their son . And then after Bruce is drink down , all ofthe pent - up rage Thomas hadfrom before is then transport into his vigilante activities .
In compare , Bruce is a much dissimilar kind of Batman . He is still driven to force to accomplish his mission , but he is much more restrained than his Fatherhood ’s reading of Batman . This is most probable because Bruce lost his parents when he was still a boy . He was just an unacquainted child and so this naturalness was channeled into his growth into the Dark Knight . If he had been an adult then it ’s possible he could have been sully by grownup things just like his father was . Perhaps he may have become something more in line withFlashpoint ’s version of Batman . Instead , since he was an orphan rather than a grown man when his parent kick the bucket , thisBatmanis a circle more noblethan hisFlashpointcounterpart .
