AFAIK, they were all based on fairly recent comic book stories.

 No. Absolutely none of them.
 Remember, TV and movie writers don’t read. Especially source material. And
they look down viciously on comic books as being beneath them.
 Hell, even in the pilot episode they got Ma and Pa Kent’s first names

Were Clark's and Bruce's mothers both named "Martha" in the comics?  I'm sure I've heard "Martha" used for Clarks mom multiple times over the years, but I don't recall ever hearing a name for Bruce's mom before the Snyder movie.
