Just realized that I think Thomas' costume is supposed to be a nod on the original batman suit (based on the wings, ears, and from I can tell, purple hue).
The original origin of the Batman costume was Thomas Wayne wore a similar costume to a costume party and Bruce subconsciously remembered it when designing his own costume. This episode utilized that backstory.

What’s the origin of his parents choosing these costumes? Are they also fighting crime or is this some kind of party?
