12 killed in Colorado shooting at Dark Knight Rises premiere - Part 2

Someone on TDKR's Facebook Page proposed the idea of Christian Bale dressed as Batman for visit all the kids ho have been injured during the event. To let them know that bad guys will not get away with it.

 

personally I am interested in what flipped the switch inside of his head it is not normal for
someone of his status to drop his whole life in short notice after withdrawing from one of
the top programs that you can get into and one of the hardest classes to get in also being a part of programs-classes that more than likely specialized in mind control and emotions. If there was some planning in this the theatre was not it I think as he did not even try to take people's lifes as a normal person would have in his situation inc his own

 

No. This is a terrible idea.

 

Kevin Smith's show Spoilers had a touching tribute to the Aurora shooting. It's worth checking out.

 

That is one of the most horrible ideas I've ever heard. Listen, I'm all for Ron Perlman fulfilling some dying kids wishes, but the scale of this tragedy is so much greater. For Bale to show up prancing around in a Batsuit just really trivializes it in my eyes. If Christian Bale, the actor, wants to visit them in private without cameras everywhere, then great. But let's not treat this like it's Comic-con.

 

We've been over this. Nice thought, bad idea.

 

No, actually it's a bad thought AND a bad idea.

Warner Bros. & DC have already lost significant sales at the Box office over this. They are NOT going to march their film's poster boy into the thick of the situation and further marry themselves to the problem.

 

I know, I was just letting him down easy.

 

Yeah... it'll be nice when people stop thinking that is a good idea and spreading it around.

 

...definitely NO on having Bale dress as Batman and visit the victims of this tragedy.

 

Perhaps we need to travel to the Bat-boards and strike at the source of this bad idea. It keeps coming back up in this conversation like the gift that keeps on giving. LOL

 

Good god the bat voice plus the flashbacks would be horrible for those kids. Someone should dress as the joker. I kid i kid.

Poor kids will probably be traumatized by anything batman or theater related for a while.

 

That's one of the biggest bummers. Something that should fill these people with joy, something that brightens peoples days is turned into a trauma. That madman took that from them.

 

Yeah, I mentioned over the weekend I hope these little kids are not scarred for life and associate Batman with this. They're still real impressionable and unfortunately that may very well happen.

 

Batman has always been my favorite hero and as a child he was the hero so i can imagine what i would feel like have had that stolen from me. ****ing bastard! Im not religious but if there is a hell may the devil find him.

 

It's awful. This was supposed to be fun.

I can't imagine that theater was any different than ours was on Thursday night. It was so much fun being there, it never even entered my mind that something like that could happen. I can't imagine how terrible it was for them.

 

I want to go back and see the film again (it was amazing) but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a tad bit concerned about the idea of a copycat trying something here.

 

I really hope this POS doesn't get off due to insanity.

 

Worry not, X Knight. He will be executed. And no amount of pursed, poked out lips, forlorn facial expressions and Ronald McDonald hair will prevent that.

 

^ I hope so.

this guy is a monster.

 

If we continue to see what we saw today, and if his lawyers continue to make the mistakes they did today......he will be seen as competent to stand trial, and the insanity plea will not work.

 

Lets be honest, any competent lawyer is going to get the death penalty off the table in exchange for a guilty plea. If I was appointed his public defender, it's what I would do. As of right now I haven't seen anything to justify an insanity defense.

 

This is good to hear.

Now that's classy.

I wonder if Nolan and the others feel somewhat responsible or guilty that their darker interpretation of Batman inspired this violence? Clearly the Bane character development in this film was a factor in shaping James Holmes' approach with this massacre.
