The story Bruce circulated was based on the truth, that Jason was visiting his newly discovered birth mother (who was an aid worker doctor) and was murdered by the Joker as an incidental casualty.
Given his proximity to the bomb and the fire, there would probably be little clothing actually left. the green undershirt would be fair enough, the matching green undies would just be underwear, the rest would be shredded or burned. It's not like anyone was expecting to find robin there,
Really? I don't remember anyone ever mentioning the Joker directly; even Superman just says that he heard Jason was killed in an Ethiopean warehouse fire.
I considered that most of Jason's clothing would probably be destroyed by the bomb, but then you've got Sheila who looks almost completely unscathed with even her perfect 40's coif still intact. I guess it's just another case of the art failing to match the story.
I don't have my copy of ADitF immediately to hand, but Sheila tells Batman that Jason's last act was to try and shield her from the blast by putting himself between the bomb and her, so her being a little less damaged, and him being a lot MORE damaged ties in with that.
I don't think the Joker's involvement in the explosion was ever a secret, and it was mentioned (again IIRC) in the Gotham Knights story about Jason's death.
