It was very interesting, but the problem is, the original lore behind the death of Bruce Wayne's parents and the Joker's origins was very different.
On the one hand, it makes for great drama in the movie, because it would truly motivate Batman to stop the Joker by any means necessary, particularly because of Jack Napier's role in ruining his life as a kid.
But on the other hand, it causes division in the fandom, because then you've got the hardcore fans who loved the comics before the movie came out, who would be bothered by the story inconsistency between the movie and the comics. And then you've got the fans who loved the movie and want to use that background lore as canon instead.
Thankfully, most people accept that there are many ways to tell a story, and comic books/films are no exception.
