At least 12 people were killed and 50 injured when someone went into an Aurora, Colorado movie theater during a midnight screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises' Friday morning, fired a smoke grenade and began shooting.
‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ tickets went on sale earlier this week and the first midnight showings promptly sold out in just minutes. Now, tickets to the midnight IMAX screenings are popping up on eBay and Craigslist for over $100; at times an almost 80% markup. Boy, we’ve heard about a ticket prices going up, but this is ridiculous.
Batman is one of the oldest comic book creations of our time. We’ve seen everything from the campy Batman from the original television series to Christopher Nolan’s gritty Caped Crusader in ‘The Dark Knight.’ Nolan’s Batman wasn’t fun, never smiled and underwent a throat-wrenching voice change every time Bruce Wayne put on the Batsuit.
So not the kind of Batman kids would like at a birthday party.
