On Saturday, July 21st, the day after the shooting, Don and I returned to another Aurora-area theater to finish watching The Dark Knight Rises. While we experienced some very difficult, tense moments during the showing, we made it through together. In order to move forward, we needed to experience watching the movie again. Adding to our sense of safety was a very visible and active uniformed police presence at the theater; every time an officer stepped in to check on the house, we both breathed a sigh of relief.

These two survived the ‘Dark Knight’ shooting in Aurora, Colorado and actually went back to finish the film the next day. They didn’t want the gunman to win.

The first photos are coming out of the Colorado courtroom where ‘Dark Knight’ shooting suspect James Holmes appeared before a judge this morning. His hair was orange, he was wearing a jump suit, and he appeared dazed.

“Holmes is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder, and he could also face additional counts of aggravated assault and weapons violations.”

on suspicion

he did it, just say it, he did it.

He appears dazed, does he? Some sympathetic language for a mass murderer! Have ANY of you managed such sympathy for nonwhite killers?

Whoa, relax. That the killer appeared “dazed” is simply fact here. How in the world does this become a racial/media issue in reporting that?! Let’s not do that. This case is already too much to handle as it stands. Also, “on suspicion” is necessary. That whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing is a pretty important piece of our democracy, no matter who’s in the courtroom.

People have been creating and sharing some really touching ‘Dark Knight’-related tribute art for the victims of the Aurora shooting.

Celeb Boutique went there.

Update! They said sorry.

Here’s video of two eyewitnesses detailing the events inside the theater and immediate aftermath. Seems like they’re talking to a TV reporter.

Here’s our story of tweets from the ‘Dark Knight’ shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

The shooter in Aurora, Colorado has been identified as one James Holmes—but not this James Holmes.

Wish Aurora had a real-life Batman last night.
