The Manipulator tends to have roots that go right back to the hero's origin and before. That's why movie retcons have but Osborn indutries experiements behind Parker's radioactive spider, why the Joker killed Batman's parents etc.
I hate that they had the Joker kill Batman's parents in the first movie. It turned the entire thing into a revenge picture. Hollywood does love their revenge pictures, to the point where I think they get confused trying to understand any other motive for acting beyond self interests.

I agree. That was one of the most contrived and nonsensical plot developments in any movie I've ever seen. And while the rest of the movie was enjoyable, that was a twist I'd expect from Joel Schumacher.
