I was getting all ready for the movie for tonight as some people on here know I cosplay as Joker; now they are banning any costumed looks because of that jerk. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of this tragic and I hope that jacka** gets what he deserves.

Here costumes are ok as long as they don't have masks or weopons. Only thing I noticed security wise was a couple guards hanging out at the bus depot. Otherwise nothing different. My theatre is always extra secure cuz it's across the street from City Hall/Court House.... Plus everyone around here is on extra guard anyways cuz there's an air show this weekend.

Milehighcomics,the largest comic shop retailer in the nation is located just 25 miles away from the shooting. Chuck, the founder and president is offering a 60 percent off code on more than 8 million back issues over the next 7 days and will donate about 20% of it to the victims families. If you have an issue to fill in the next week order from them to help contribute to funds. The codeword is helpheal.

I agree with both of you about dressing up in costumes in public, outside Halloween or Let's Make A Deal!

True. Batman sat next to me during the second half of Batman:The Dark Knight before disappearing. Other than a 20ish guy in a halloween costume based off the film series I did not see anyone else in anything aside from Batman related shirts,myself included.

This is such a terrible tragedy!

I can't believe that some psycho would do this! Those people affected by this are in my prayers!

This situation makes me afraid to go to the movies.

*TurtleTitan97* · 07-21-2012, 08:12 PM

I was so sad to hear about this yesterday. Such a sad thing to hear.

Moonlight1102 · 07-21-2012, 09:50 PM

Such a horrible tragedy. My prayers will go out to the victims.

**Barkworm** · 07-22-2012, 02:18 AM

This is just awful. Unfortunately instead of taking the problem at its root (stricter gun control) this will only lead to short sighted solutions by the film industry like the costume ban and security checks in cinemas or completely non-sensical bullsh*t like WB pulling ads for the Dark Knight Rises.

*BubblyShell22* · 07-22-2012, 08:23 AM

Yeah, seriously. They need to have stricter laws on who can own a gun. The only crime this guy was charged for before this was a lousy speeding ticket. I've heard so many stories about the survivors and victims. There were two people who actually took bullets for their girlfriends. Such brave individuals.

*Guitar_Raph* · 07-22-2012, 11:41 AM

I learned that the killer was dressed as The Joker!

Bet Jack Nicholson is ashamed while Cesar Romero's turning in his grave!

You seriously believe gun control laws prevent things like this from happening? You really need to do more research than watching Jon Stewart.

**Barkworm** · 07-23-2012, 01:57 AM

Once again you have enlightened me, thank you so much.

*BubblyShell22* · 07-23-2012, 08:32 AM

The guy dyed his hair red and claimed he was The Joker when in reality The Joker's hair is green, not red. I guess the guy didn't do his proper research.

Actually, I've heard that after they got into his apartment (after clearing the booby traps) they found a bunch of Batman merch in his room.

....Yeah.

Surprisingly, I agree with this comment. I don't own a gun myself, but the only reason this dude pulled off what he did was because he had zero opposition from the people he was firing on (i.e. no one, to my knowledge, had a concealed weapon to fire back). These people were essentially fish in a bowl, and faced with a small a$$hole behind big guns.

I went to see the movie yesterday. I was expecting a packed house, but judging by the lack of attendance it's clear this idiot has scared folks from going to the theater. Sure what he did scares me, but I'm not going to let it stop me from living my life, and either should you.

There are a number of websites and forums where gun control is discussed, if you want to know more.

**Barkworm** · 07-23-2012, 10:19 AM

Gun control in America is a topic I actually teach about in school so advice from the likes of you doesn't mean that much to me.
