Just re-read the Origin from Batman 47

[TELLE]

But it hasn't explicity been ruled out or retconned?

(I guess Joe Chill hasn't been mentioned for decades...)

[Richard Grayson]

Jo Chill was a minor figure in that new "Batman Begins" movie.

[Klar Ken T5477]

And forget about Lew Moxon who masterminded the killing.

[TELLE]

It's funny how Batman kept digging up more and more guilty parties.  I'm sure there was someone behind Lew Moxon.  It probably ends with Stalin or someone in the State Dept.

[MichaelBailey]

They threw Lew Moxon back into the Batman books when Ed Brubaker wrote Batman.

And I can't help but love this story as well.  It's one of those primal ideas that works no matter what era you tell it in.  I especially liked the re-telling in Untold Legends of the Batman, a mini-series published in 1981 that I first read when I sent in for the reprints that the Batman cereal offered in 1989.

The cereal sucked, but the series was quite good.
