<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > Bruce Wayne's adoptive mother</h1>
After Bruce Wayne's parents were killed, Alfred Pennyworth wasn't the only one who helped raise Bruce to become Batman, who also had an adoptive mother role in his life.
Bruce Wayne's decision to become Batman dates back to the night criminal Joe Chill murdered his parents in Crime Alley. For Bruce, this incident not only meant the death of his parents, but also shattered Bruce's original life. Bruce's body is not injured in the usual plot, but it is clear that he has suffered great mental trauma. After this, we are familiar with the plot that Alfred, the housekeeper of the Wayne family, makes up for the lack of both parents, raises Bruce as an adult, and assists Batman for a long time after the birth of Batman.
What many people may not know is that there is another person who helped raise Bruce: Leslie Thompkins.
Leslie has been taking care of Bruce since he was young and has continued to support Bruce after he became Batman — even though she disapproves of many of Batman's practices. In some episodes, Leslie appears to have died from the Joker's attack, and in recent comics she has secretly accompanied Batman and helped take care of batman's children who have lost their parents.
Leslie Thompkins, created by Denny O'Neil and Dick Giordano in Detective Comics #457, takes place on the anniversary of the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. In the comics, Leslie always accompanies Bruce on this night to commemorate his parents. After the murder, Leslie noticed that police and reporters had ignored Bruce Wayne, who had become an orphan, and began comforting him on the worst night of his life. Since then, she has worked hard to help the poor in Gotham City by opening a medical clinic for those in need.
She helped Alfred raise Bruce and maintained a romantic relationship with butler for a long time. After Bruce became an adult and became Batman, Leslie has been a loyal ally of Batman, one of the few people who knows The true identity of Batman, and batman's doctor.
Although Leslie and Batman can work closely together, and Leslie is like an adoptive mother to Batman, there will be some differences between them, and she is worried about Batman's excessive use of violence and the involvement of Robin in the operation.

When there are these problems, Leslie always tries to make up for Batman's mistakes. Jason Todd, who was nearly killed by the Joker, and Stephanie Brown, who was brutally tortured by the Black Mask, were all taken care of by Leslie. Leslie even helps Stephanie disguise herself as a fake death and travel overseas to start a new life, in order to mentally punish Batman.
In DC: Rebirth, Leslie encounters more crises and difficulties, and her relationship with Batman becomes increasingly strained, and she warns Batman not to form a superhero squad of teenage children. But the conflict with Batman will never affect the mother-son relationship between the two, Batman was tortured and bitter because Leslie died of the Joker toxin, but fortunately, the plot later explained that this was an illusion and did not happen.
In the latest Batman City Legends story, "The Red Hood and Batman," Leslie Tompkins makes another appearance. In the story, former Robin and now red-hooded Jason Todd kill a drug dealer, and the drug dealer's girlfriend falls into a coma due to overdose. Todd discovers that the two have another child, named Taylor, who will be orphaned.
Todd was a bad street boy with his mother dying early and his father in prison, and he lived by stealing from a very young age wandering the alleys of crime. When Batman discovers him, he first hands him over to a foster school, but then falls prey to the evil headmaster and eventually has to train him to become the second generation robin. Thinking of his own experience as an orphan, Todd finds ways to help Taylor avoid this pain.
Batman volunteers to assist his former disciple and brings Taylor to Leslie's care. Even though Batman has a solution to everything, And Lelis is willing to take care of the child, she asks Batman to make a promise: she won't train Taylor to be another Robin. Batman promised Leslie that he didn't want to have children going through Robins' lives anymore.

In addition to being in the comics, Leslie has also appeared in live-action series. In Gotham, a series about Bruce Wayne's youth, Leslie Tompkins also appears as the main character, played by Morena Baccarin, the heroine of Deadpool.
In "Gotham", Leslie is portrayed as having a relationship with the later police chief and now the young detective Jim Gordon, who is like Qiong Yao's bitter love scene. Outside the scene, Morena Bacarin fell in love with Gordon's Benjamin McKenzie and married in 2017.
