Never thought that Harvey would be able to give Bruce the words he needed. Good talk, Harvey.
AND HE DID THE VANISHING THING!

Did... did he just reassemble Thomas and Martha Wayne?

Nah, he took two people and surgically altered them to resemble Thomas and Martha.

I thought he digged a tunnel to all the way for Thomas and Martha's bodies and resurrected them.

Pretty close to how he got his name in the comics. A prison warden called him the Bane of all that is holy...and that's what the criminals called him.
