History
In this universe, Martha Wayne was not Martha Kane. Martha was originally born as Martha Arkham. She was the first who broke the curse of the Arkham family, in not going insane, mostly because her life was cut short.

Martha Arkham was born in a family of the nouveau riche Jeremiah Arkham and Roberta Kane, a bunch of scientists whom, with their new discoveries in various chemicals, grew really influential in a short time, and were the founders of ACE Chemicals.

I should note that Martha had several siblings and half siblings. Jacob and Nathan were born out of wedlock, hence their last names still being Kane. Phillip was born after Martha.

Though Martha, while intelligent, didn’t share her family's interest in science and instead would travel the world most of the time, seeking thrills and helping people among the way, becoming the face of charity. During one of her trips she ran into a child smuggling ring led by Michael Desai, aka the Outsider. Almost ending up killed for her meddling, she was saved by MI6 agent, Alfred Pennyworth.

After that, Martha and Alfred became good friends and Alfred would train Martha to be a secret agent, allowing her to do good but also able to protect herself and allowing her to spy and uncover several crime rings. But she loved children a lot and one day wanted to have herself. She returned home for a sabbatical year.

During her return home she ran into a hostage situation led by Crime Boss Lew Moxon, and she, Alfred, with the help of Thomas Wayne, managed to resolve it without any casualties and set up Moxon’s arrest. She and Thomas Wayne would fall in love, marry and have a son together, and Alfred was made the godfather.

Martha and Thomas almost had a second son, as Martha was pregnant again. However, a car accident caused by an unknown party cutting her brakes, made sure Martha had a miscarriage and was unable to have any other children. Martha became depressed for a while, but Thomas, Bruce and Alfred helped her get through this.

On the night of November 25th 1984, Thomas and Martha took Bruce to the Monarch Theatre to see "''The Mark of Zorro." ''As they were walking back to the limo, they were killed by an unknown assailent. However, Bruce, whose memories were scrambled for years to come, only then started to truly remember an odd fact about the assassin. It was able to match her mother, an ex-secret agent in skill enough to get the fatal shot in. Since then Bruce knew that the hit on his parents wasn’t done by an ordinary person, most certainly the one whom also killed Matches Malone.

This event would make Bruce crave justice and ultimately be the catalyst for his transformation into the Batman.
