For over 20 years, when a Batman movie was due to hit theaters, everyone knew that it would be event -- and “The Dark Knight Rises” just might have been the most anticipated flick of them all. But after Friday morning’s tragic event in Aurora, Colorado, it seems like a perhaps unshakable black cloud might hang over the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s trilogy.

The alleged masked gunman, 24-year-old James Holmes, killed 12 and injured many more. And as the details continue to unfold, no doubt the film itself will come under considerable scrutiny. One eyewitness on the “Today” show, said that she first thought the shooter was part of the spectacle of Thursday night’s midnight show -- just another guy in a costume, like so many others in the theater.
In an eerie similarity, the “Dark Knight’s” villain Bane leads a gang of bad guys into a football stadium in a bullet and explosive fueled rampage. Chaos ensues in a public space. Not the first time that’s the case in any action movie, let alone one that stars the Caped Crusader.
Warner Bros., the studio behind the summer blockbuster, has canceled tonight’s premiere in Paris. And according to breaking news, they’re considering canceling weekend screenings of the film. The New York Police Department has announced that they’ll be amping up security at theaters showing the “Dark Knight Rises.” And odds are a few moviegoers will be deterred from rushing out to see the film at a cineplex near them any time soon. The pall that this tragedy cast might just spell doom for “The Dark Knight Rises.” What do you think: Will the movie now be cursed?

The worker then said to Obama that it was the flag of the State of Wisconsin - - which was founded in 1848.
This was only reported by a local radio station in Milwaukee (1130AM) and not by the major news networks - - - they didn't want to embarrass this "got no friggin' clue" President!
Since they didn't do their job of reporting on this presidential visit, the only way for the news to get around is by us - on the Internet.
Do your job; I just did mine, so voters will know what really happened here and just HOW BRIGHT THIS PRESIDENT REALLY IS !!!??? NOT!! Had this been a statement from Mitt Romney the Media would have run it 24/7. The media called this murdering gunman/joker a Super Patriot, well the dumb ass that thinks this is a super patriot you just showed us how out of touch and screwed up you are. Those who fought To defend America/World and this dumb jerk reporter are the Super Patriot Hero's not this mentally twisted radical liberal fanatic, the gun is not the issue, it is Hollywood's promotion of violence, lies and how they glorify these creeps. Who Owns our Media networks and news papers, are they owned by normal common sense USA citizens or are they????
The guy shot out on the most public way possible to get mass coverage of what he was doing. You are only giving him what he wants by talking of it incessantly.
It is stories like these that make me wish I was in attendance and packin'. It would have been great see that SOB and put the brakes on his "insanity" with a 40 cal to the head BEFORE he started. :-(
I would seriously like to know what the hell this guy was thinking. Oh my GOD I mean look at his mugshot
He looked like such a creeper with that disgusting smirk on his despicable face. He took the fun of dressing up as the Joker for the premier too far.
No one sane enough would shoot a poor innocent 12 year old girl in cold blood. TWELVE YEARS OLD...She'll never graduate high school, go to college, walk down the aisle, watch her own kids take their first steps...And what about the three month old? The parents that were with that baby devastated probably wishing that they had called for a babysitter. That innocent kid that will never take his first steps or give his parents the joy of listening to his first words.
Times like these make me so angry. It makes my heartache for all those present that night killed, injured, or just lucky to get out alive but sadly scarred with those images of the bleeding victims. It could've happened to any of us, it could easily happen at any moment at any time.
My warm thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected. <3
Live on earth the more we cures our selves, if we only respected the earth like every other
Animal and insect do, we may be living in peace.
