1. If I was a major violent movie producer I would do the same.

Without knowing who actually created this, I'm unimpressed.

Sure, our hearts break for Aurora.

But I pretty much classify modern batman movies with the Kardashians.

JMHO

2. Batman no match for the Kardashians.

3. I wouldn't know.

I haven't seen a Batman movie.

4. Like it or not, he is a major cultural icon.

This drawing doesn't do much for me but it's the thought that counts.

5. Sounds like you haven't read much Batman or seen the movies.

Leger's performance of the Joker was amazing. His Oscar was well earned. Batman himself is a cultural icon. I said it in another thread, comics are one of the closest things we have to modern day myths.

6. I'm disturbed by the coupling of violent, vigilante, authoritarian characters, and this tragedy

Fuck the Dark Knight!

7. Please.

It's a cartoon.

9. Exactly

Maybe there's a better, more real, way to honor the victims than a fucked-up fantasy figure's fictional empathy.

8. This sounds like those people who blamed Doom for Columbine.

I didn't buy it then and I don't buy it now. I think we have a tendency to try and place too much blame on the media. This guy was mentally disturbed, I doubt he saw Batman and decided to go on a rampage.
