I have watched the Batman movies since I was young. From Batman all the way to Batman Begins. The one thing that has completly puzzled me is the storyline. In the first Batman movie made "Batman" with Michael Keaton his Mother and Father are murdered. It turns out that she person who killed his parents was the Joker when he was younger. Batman finds this out and kills the Joker. Ok......in all the other Batmans if he has a flashback it never again mentions the Joker as killing his parents or even remotely shows the same type of scene as the first Batman movie. It shows his parents murdered in a slightly different version. Then in the last movie "Batman Begins" they went back and retold the story and it was different again from "Batman" and all of a sudden it was not the Joker who killed his parents, and the shooter of his parents ended up and was murdered by someone else before Bruce could kill him hisself. Do the directors not go back to the original story line and notice this?

"Batman Begins" was considered a 'reboot' of the Batman franchise.
In the comics, the Joker was NOT the killer of Bruce Wayne's parents. In fact, if memory serves, the murderer was never found. In the original film, that was simply added in for dramatic effect. One could even interpret the scene revealing Jack Napier (the Joker's alter ego) as the killer to be Bruce's scarred and damaged psyche playing tricks on him.
As a long-time Batman fan, I completely disregard the first four movies, and particularly the two directed by Joel Schumacher. They are travesties of justice, and 'Begins' is a great film, and one Batfans have waited a long time for.

In the original comics the joker was not responsible for the death of Bruce Waynes parents. The movie Batman used their deaths as a catalyst to launch Batman.

With 5 Batman movies, you got 3 directors... each with their own ideas and takes on the character. There was no strict rules from DC Comics to keep the stories consistant with one another.
Nolan's 'Batman Begins' is one of the most faithful tellings of Batman's actual genesis, the death of his parents... The only flaw was that the Wayne family was leaving a film (The Mark of Zorror) in the comic while in the film, they were leaving an opera.

If they did, they'd have to cut Jack Nicholson a pretty fat check. Besides, in the comics, Jack Napier never killed Bruce Wayne's parents. It was done to make a better movie.

Well the in the comic books it was a low live thief who killed his parents, not the Joker.

Actually, in the comics the hoodlum who killed them was named Joe Chill. Batman tracked him down years later at his hideout, revealed his identity, and ran into the other room to tell his gangster pals, who shot him to death before he could tell.
