89 redux?

wasn't it down to warren skarren (probably under the influence of Peters)

I thought the gist of the thread was use what the movie has now, but present certain scenes differently.

yeah thats it!

i had always though it would have been a nice touch to have it revealed in returns that napier was not the killer and bruce had confused things in his mind since his trauma as a child.

we could then have followed bruce as he deals with a sense of guilt for making his fight with the joker personal and see how he resolves this as his continues to be gotham's guardian.

Or/And...

Batman's mind is so tortured that it is suggested that he's "discovering" his parents' killer every time a new man vaguely fitting the profile arises. It would be a cycle of undeserved vengeance: Batman always kills the alleged killer, but then finds he was wrong, then compulsively moves onto the next suspect.

How's that for a sickening twist?

And then by the 6th sequel we find out it was actually Alfred who killed them, but he used his mind algorythms (from Batman & Robin) to make Bruce think it was other people. Genius!!

The Joker should not have been the killer of Bruce's parents... (it slightly bothers me now)

I don't know... i just think there were other avenues Burton could have gone down and still got a satisfying conclusion!!

Also, no killing but it doesn't bother that much!
