It is hypothesized that Thomas and Martha Wayne's deaths in this film were a form of Bad Karma. This film shows Thomas Wayne as a cold, uncaring, elitist individual who looked down upon those less fortunate, like Arthur Fleck, than them in society and treated Arthur horrendously during the theater restroom confrontation. After Arthur Fleck had snapped and eventually killed Murray Franklin on national TV which caused a major riot in Gotham, the protester, who saw Arthur do what he did, decides to punish The Waynes by killing them for allowing Gotham to turn against its poor, hence the phrase he screams at them before shooting them. Unlike most variations of their murders, in hindsight, Thomas and Martha Wayne's deaths were more in line with some form of retribution due to how Arthur Fleck and others living in destitution were rejected by society. Furthermore, the seizing of Martha Wayne's pearl necklace this time around was more of obtaining a souvenir than specifically stealing it outright like in most variations. Not to mention, the necklace was seized after the couple was shot and killed, as opposed to the other variations where the killer was attempting to take it before the couple was shot and killed for trying to stop the theft.
