* [[Batgirl (2000 comic book)||Cassandra Cain]]'s mother passed her to her father literally at birth, who in turn shot the midwife dead and took the infant to be trained as the [[Charles Atlas Superpower|ultimate]] [[Tyke Bomb|assassin]] in isolation from spoken language. Given that said mother became known as [[Blood Knight|Lady Shiva]], it is hard to imagine that her influence would have helped... and the kid seemed to have turned out emotionally together enough to [[Street Urchin|run away from home]] [[Thou Shalt Not Kill|rather than kill...]] [[The Atoner|again]].
* [[Batwoman]] lost her mother in a hostage situation when she was a kid. {{spoiler|She also lost her twin sister...or so she thought.}}
* Matt Murdock, aka [[Daredevil]], was raised entirely by his father (this turned into [[Parental Abandonment]] when the guy was murdered in the first issue of Matt's series). His mother went completely unmentioned for over twenty years before finally showing up out of the blue; turns out that she abandoned her child to become a nun.
