not a prequil? Then why did they mention the joker? He was in the first movie, a coincidence?

because the joker is in the comic books...its not a prequel.

the movie is about how he became batman.


all the characters are in the comics, joker is the first villain?



Dude, you say you're a fan but you don't have a stinkin' clue!!! How old are you, 12?

The movie Batman Begins was heavily influenced by the graphic novel Batman: Year One. There were, of course, some obvious differences - the addition of Scarecrow and Ra's al Ghul, etc.

This movie has nothing to do with Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, or Batman & Robin. It's a totally new take on the character. Did you ask where Adam West was when you saw Tim Burton's Batman? Of course not, because it was a totally different film series. Joe Chill killed Bruce Wayne's parents, not the Joker. The Joker will be in the next film, and hopefully they will be similarly loyal to the Joker's origins in "The Killing Joke", in which Batman was present at his creation but not as directly responsible as in Burton's film.

Joker is not the first villian in the Batman comics. The first recurring villain in Detective Comics (hopefully you know what that is :roll: ) was Doctor Death.
