The Joker Begins
Spinless:
Oh right, I misunderstood your post. I thought you were criticising the two decisions about the characters you mentioned. It would seem we are in total agreement! How about that?
öde:
Woo, Christian Bale is still hot.
Ozymandias:
...I don't get why making the Joker a psychopath who puts on makeup to look like a clown is any more complicated than the Joker being a psychopath whose skin was illogically bleached into the colors of a clown.
0bsessions:
It removes the uniqueness of the character. Any dumb fuck can put on makeup and rob banks. He's just some everyday kook if he's putting on makeup. Plus, a big part of what drove him insane in almost every prior origin was the disfigurement.
By that argument, why even bother having a batcave? They could've saved a lot of time by just having him store his shit in a hidden room in the manor, but it's a big part of the mythos that most people on the streets know about. Changing the Joker like that will just confuse the average moviegoer who has a passing knowledge of Batman (Which is the vast majority of people who will go to see it).

You can just assume he has a daughter and uses the lazarus pits off camera. Most importantly, he LOOKED like Ra's Al Ghul and played a good character on the screen. He was one of the good parts of that movie.

I agree, although they mispronounced "Ra's" the entire movie and it bugged me so much. It's "Raish" not "Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas".
That's a tad off topic though.
