Is nolan changing the story to Batman?

Joker = not the killers of his parents or is there no real story to the whole batman thing and he's making his own rules now??????!?!?!?!!?1//11//1/1

edit: o i didnt no that the old batman movie had a different story from the comics sry

If he didn't change the story up, then we would be seeing the exact same movie we saw 19 years ago.

If you're talking about Jack Nicholson/Joker killing Batman's parents, that absolutely had nothing to do with the comics.  The killer of Batman's parents was a dude named (believe it or not) Joe Chill. 

You can read a bio on him here.

Does it really matter, it makes for better films.

That was made up for Tim Burton's movie, I do believe.  Many Batman comics make their own versions, though.

Didn't Nolan stick to the comic storyline?

Joker killing Bruce's parents was a creation of the Tim Burton movie. Nothing wrong with that, but not the original story.

Like a few people said, the Joker never killed Wayne's parents in the comic books.  That was a weird twist, but a cool one at that.  Joe Chill killed his parents, and in Batman Begins, you see him.  He shoots both of his parents and then dies when at a trial.

OH YA!!!!!! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT PART IN BATMAN BEGINS, HOLY!!!

I hope so. Batman's always been terribly written besides maybe when Frank Miller got his hands on it, and then it was too late.

this thread is a fail.

Who shot him though? I cant remember if Bruce shot him or not.

It's nothing compared to how different the Spider-Man movies have changed the story of Spider-Man.

Actually Nolan isn't changing anything, if you saw Batman Begins you can see how Bruce's parents died and everything

On a somewhat off-topic note, Tim Burton will always be the best director for the Batman movies.

The Comics aren't even consistent on the story, there are multiple versions of every character's back story, although the most popular version of how bruce's parents died is the one from batman begins.

I was surprised they didn't go into the back story of the joker more, well, they alluded to subscribing to the version where the joker is so messed up that even he doesn't remember how he ended up the way he is.

I've loved every single batman film so far, even batman and robin.

He's staying as close to the mythos of Batman as possible.

I always thought Tim Burton was a bit overrated (granted Sweeny Todd was awesome, but he hasn't made any other movies that I enjoyed). Christopher Nolan is definatly the better director for the Batman series. He's staying close to the tone, atmosphere, and story of the actual comics. It's much deeper and realistic, while Tim Burton's version was more campy and cartoon-like.
