So they're keeping with the whole Jack Napier thing? I didn't have a problem with them having Scarecrow be the first villian Batman faces. I did have a little problem with the Ra's Al Guhl instructed Bruce story line. But I was hoping with this film that they would follow the Red Hood story from the Killing Joke. Where did they get on this Jack Napier kick? Who is that? In the comics the Jokers real name is unknown.
