...put all the Wayne family stuff in there, including the death of mama and papa Wayne while young Brucie watches. I mean, is Todd Philips so out of touch that he has not heard the repeated criticism of every movie including the Waynes being killed (even including mama Wayne's pearls dropping to the ground)? At this point, if you include that scene without having it really, really be an important part of your movie, you are raising your middle finger at the audience and daring them to hate you for it. And that scene had zero to do with the Joker or his development or anything else about him. It is like Philips included it for "fan service" only but instead of "fan service" it was a "fan F-you."
