Batman Begins

When the young Bruce Wayne's parents are killed by a mugger, he sets out on a journey to discover the means to fight injustice. He finds a possible answer through a man named Ra's Al Ghul (Ken Watanabe), the head of the League of shadows. With help from Ghul, and his assistant Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson), he learns the skills he needs to rid Gotham of criminals. On returning to Gotham, he finds the city ruled by crime and corruption.

In order to create this image, Wayne visits his fathers friend, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), who works at Wayne Enterprises developing all the gadgets Batman will use. After this, Wayne takes to the street as Batman, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. He must face his demons, and try to uncover the plans of the mafia boss Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson), the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy), and a mysterious third party...

Question: When training Bruce, why did Ducard say that the deaths of Bruce's parents was actually Thomas' fault? If anyone's to blame it was Joe Chill.

Answer: First, he follows it up by saying it's because Bruce's father failed to act against Joe (to try to stop him), implying that his father was weak and a coward. But overall Ducard's stance was crime cannot be tolerated. "Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding." The League had tried to destroy Gotham before with economics, but men like Thomas Wayne tried to help the poor and he was killed by the same people he tried to help. In Ducard's mind, had Thomas Wayne not tried to help the poor and criminals, he wouldn't have been shot.

Answer: He was trying to get Bruce angry, so he can learn to control it and use it whilst fighting.
