Epix’s Pennyworth will air its third and fourth episodes, titled “Martha Kane” and “Lady Penelope” respectively, on Sunday, August 11. Martha Kane, who some might know as Bruce Wayne’s future mom, will join Alfred and Thomas Wayne on thrilling new adventures. And while the comic books have touched on Martha’s character from time to time, she’s never been fully explored in a live-action TV series or movie.
We spoke to actress Emma Paetz (Gentleman Jack) about the challenges of playing Batman’s future mom, and if she ever felt any pressure taking on such an important role. “I felt very liberated because most of what people know about Martha and Thomas is them dying and that being the catalyst for Batman’s story,” Paetz told IGN. “So there’s not a lot about how they live and how they were as people. So I didn’t feel the weight of other people’s expectations.”
