Christopher Nolan responds to Shooting, Fans Express Grief through Art
I would hate to bring up this horrible event once again, but I couldn't help but showcase the great things that people have done in support of those effected by the mass shooting.
Editor’s Note: I know a lot of media outlets and such have been spending the past two days trying to understand the shooter to discover what his motive could have been, which I find rather sad. I get that we feel the need to understand where his head was at but we have to shift that focus towards how we can prevent such a tragedy from happening again. However, before we can do that, we have to take the time to reflect and mourn the loss of those innocent people whose lives were cruelly cut short and offer our condolences to those who knew and loved them.
Director Christopher Nolan
The director of the Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan, has recently written a response in regards to the shootings that occured yesterday during the midnight opening of the film in Aurora, Colorado. He said...
Along with the film's director, many fans have also expressed their greif and sorrow through art and a newly annointed black ribbon symbol in commemoration of the great tragedy.
While nobody may ever know the reasoning behind shooter James Holmes's senseless act of violence, what I do know is this. If he thought he could scare us into abandoning our childhood hero, if he thought that he could terrorize us into stop believing in everything that the Dark Knight has stood for and will continue to stand for in several years to come, he has failed.
If anything, he has only encouraged people stand up for everything that Batman represents, and everything that both fans and the American people have adored about him for so many years.
There might be nay sayers out there who believe that the symbol of Batman has been shamelessly shoehorned as a promotional symbol for this great atrocity, but what I have to say in response to such accusations is this.
Sometimes, we all need a hero. Nothing more, nothing less. And upon looking at those who have risen up in support of the people who were effected by the Colorado shooting, I would say we have several heroes already among us.
I would like give my personal greivances to everyone effected by the shooting and I would like to thank everyone who has helped remind us that through this horrible event, heroes will rise.

A damn shame that 314,000,000 people in America went to bed that night without shooting anyone, and one asshole came along and ruined something like a movie for everyone.

There's been a lot of violence surrounding this last movie that I don't understand. From death threats on movie review websites that needed to be shutdown to this shooting in a theater. People take this movie franchise too seriously. I didn't care for the Dark Knight series of movies and didn't think they were any good, but that's my opinion and people need to realize that, yes, some people don't like this movie and shouldn't take things to extreme.

To my knowledge the shooter's motive hasn't been released but I really doubt it was because he hated the movie. When the cops arrested him he had dyed his hair orange and was saying that he was "The Joker".
