Some folks have found some strange connections to the recent mass shootings in the new Batman DKR film.
They say "Batman hints towards Aurora and Sandy Hook shootings"
Make up your own mind...
This is NOT my video, and I am NOT saying the connections are fact. I just have a LOT of questions.

I didn't click, imagining the video is in terrible taste.
DK and DKR were both films that, apparently with great success, dealt with the anxieties of the era.
That's why DK is held up as both a celebration and a condemnation of the Patriot Act. That's why DKR has been seen as a call for revolution and a satire of the Occupy protests. The modern era is filled with a general sense of an evil we can't understand, but dealing with that feeling in a film is not prescient.

The video only shows a building with the word "Aurora" (location where the shootings took place during the DKR opening night), and a prop map on Gordon's desk showing a location called "Sandy Hook" that Gordon then points to. No bad taste footage, or references to victims or motives.

Your comment comes across as a conditioned response. Are you a doctor by chance?

I'm not sure what the point here is. Obviously DK is just a film that was commenting on the general anxieties of the modern era and the role of vigilante violence in society. There are a few coincidences here, which isn't surprising; Aurora is a common name. It's the town in Waynes World, and it's also a town right near me in Canada, plus in at least two other locations in the US, plus it's used in other names (aurora borealis, etc.). What is the implication beyond this? Is he trying to say Chris Nolan set up the shooting and put hints of it in his movie five years ago? Either he is--and he IS nuts--or there isn't much point to posting something like this.

Didn't click the link. No question. No just no.

nope, but when someone tries to argue that Hollywood set up these mass shootings, it is pretty obvious that that someone is a loon.

This is another reason why it should be an obscure local story.
Nobody rakes over and stamps these sort of scenarios over the amount of children killed everyday by cars because people like cars and each death is a local issue.
Have a much smaller number of children killed in one place by an ill person with a gun and it's a media circus that anyone with an internet connection can join in with.

Warb I suggest you get off the internet for a while because you are acting a bit wonky.

I don't think he is saying that "Hollywood set up these mass shootings".
Is there a spirit or "muse" that affects our creativeness, or does it all just come from us? Did the Holy Spirit guide the prophets to write the Bible, or was it just off the cuff? Questions, Questions, Questions

Thank You! Why did I need to be exposed to this news story? If the events or outcome of these shootings would have had anything personally to do with me or my family I would have been contacted in a very personal manner. The way this is playing out in the media smells of mass trauma based mind control tactics. As people are being dragged into these emotional events (that have nothing directly related to them personally) the media is conditioning the viewers with psychological anchors and triggers. They may just be using these events to manufacture consent for an agenda.

People in Canada are affected by this too. It's called empathy. While there are events just as terrible all over the world, the media doesn't report on them. So, because people are aware of this--it affects them. It's not mind control. If you hear about 20 kids gunned down in a school and feel nothing you have no empathy or connection to your fellow human beings, especially if this occured in an area of the world where you live. Mind control? Are you fucking retarded? It's just a bunch of kids that got gunned down. That IS shocking, because in north America that pretty much doesn't happen with victims this young. A friend of mine had to pull over when she heard about this on the radio. She's 29 and has a 9 month old infant, so it hit home. She's not American, nor does she live in America--in fact, she was born and raised in Bulgaria.
What's wrong with people?

That would be an opinion.

Let's talk about nuts...
Libor scandal grows as the fathers of two mass murderers were to testify IN SAME MAJOR BANKING TRIAL!
"In the wake of the mass murders that took place in Newtown, Connecticut on Dec. 14, information on the shooter, and his family, is slowly being discovered by law enforcement other sources. One interesting connection to the tragedy that took place at the Sandy Hook school is that the father of Adam Lanza has a connection to the theater shootings that took place in Aurora earlier this year by James Holmes.
Both fathers of the shooters were allegedly expected to testify in the Libor scandal that rocked the banking world in June.
The father of Newtown Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza is Peter Lanza who is a VP and Tax Director at GE Financial. The father of Aurora Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes is Robert Holmes, the lead scientist for the credit score company FICO. Both men were to testify before the US Sentate in the ongoing LIBOR scandal. The London Interbank Offered Rate, known as Libor, is the average interest rate at which banks can borrow from each other. 16 international banks have been implicated in this ongoing scandal, accused of rigging contracts worth trillions of dollars. HSBC has already been fined $1.9 billion and three of their low level traders arrested.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a motive and a link. This coincidence is impossible to overlook. Two mass shootings connected to LIBOR. "

you are now on my ignore list for using this horrible tragedy as game for your asinine conspiracy theories.
This is why I don't get into discussion about American politics. Americans come across as fucking idiotic maniacs to most Canadians and we're too polite to risk offending our neighbours. The truth is that most of us think you are all psychopaths, for stuff like the shooting in the first place and then reactions like this in the second place. Good luck with your gun-obsessed mess.

I approve of this comment.

I hope I don't come across that way! ;)

A little strong there, Zombie. I get the feeling you were trying to give FF a reality check, but that's a huge generalization and if that's indeed the case it makes me sad that our neighbors that revile us are as close-minded as the worst examples in the United States.

My reaction to the event is to ask what is going on here. The whole story is just too nuts for me to say something like "Oh, a nut shot up a school, and we may never know what the motive is. Now I must return to my shopping and let others deal with it" I have questions about what is driving people to do such horrible things that become volatile debate and potential political and constitutional changes. The whole thing with the bizarre connections with both fathers of the shooters in "Aurora" and Sandy Hook incidents being set to testify in front the US congress in a major banking scandal just makes it so much more questionable to me. But what does Hollywood have to do with the banking industry anyway? *rolls eyes*
