Henri Ducard and R'as Al Ghul were never the same person.

And heck, you had a lot of people who still questioned Heath Ledger's portrayal of Joker, hating Katie Holmes/Maggie Gyllenhaal's involvement, yadda yadda. You have people who hate the fact that Samuel L. Jackson is portraying Nick Fury and that they changed Nick Fury's skin colour in both the comics and the movies. In Iron Man, Iron Man's origin had been updated to reflect the modern political climate. People will be more sensitive to change if the movie itself is lacking. This is what I've found to be consistent.

Truest words in the entire thread.
