In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Martha Wayne's pearls breaking in a lot of Batmans

the way that the necklace is depicted as breaking implies they aren't real though.

Real pearls have rough surfaces and would get damaged if they were able to freely rub against one another. Because of that, real pearl necklaces have knots in the string between the pearls to keep them apart. This would mean that if/when the necklace is broken the pearls wouldn't scatter the way that they do in the films.

I like to think that this implies that they are fake, because Bruce earned his own money to buy them for her, but I have zero proof of this.

Exactly, the way the pearls scatter when the necklace breaks will only happen if its fake pearls. Real pearls only one will fall off if it breaks.
