  But given in batman begins, Gordon shows the card of joker, which I doubt he would call himself that before the transformation. However, I guess there may still be a few flashback sequence.
  
  Another thing, Robin will be highly unlikely to be any of the new batman series as long as christopher Nolan is directiong, given the fact that that is what went wrong with 'Batman and Robin'
  
  In case some of you didn't see the other topic, the movie title will simply be the dark Knight. Totally without the word 'Batman' in it.
  
  By the way, a link to how bale response to the title..

  by the way, 'The Dark Knight' and 'Batman Begins' are set in a universe totally apart from the original 'Batman' movie we see in 1989, mostly due to the fact that the crappy movie 'batman and robin' is part of that storyline, hence this story is a reset of the batman franchise, not a continuation of the old.

  yes indeed. we should differentiate the 2 apart because the storytelling is different. for instance, in batman 1, the joker was the one who killed batman's parents.
