    Absolutely not. It's the most iconic origin out there...

    And people have tried messing with it before, the key word there being MESS.

    No, it's one of the best IMO. I found Batman: Earth One interesting to read, but I still much prefer the normal origin!

    Definitely not the part involving his parents. The only aspect of Batman's origin I would want changed/expanded upon is his time training to become Batman. I'm sure there are plenty of stories to be told there involving his world travels.

    No Way its iconic. The only other origin stories that are even close to as iconic as batman's is superman's and spidey's origins

    Only in an Elseworlds kind of way. I wouldn't change it in the main continuity. I would be killed. But in an Elseworlds? I'd have him turn to black magic to try and bring his parents back, mastering that in addition to his martial arts. Think Batman with the powers of Spawn.

    he should be bit by a radioactive bat and stumble across a walking stick that when struck on the ground will give him powers of a nordic god , later it turns out he was sent here from a dying planet as part of a agreement of a space god who bestowed upon the power cosmic in which case he later on becomes sorcerer supreme
