By now I'm sure many of you have heard about the shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Colorado. I've gathered a bit of information on the subject. It's funny how multiple sites are reporting slightly different information. Makes you wonder what is actually factual.
Basic information about the incident reporting 12 dead and 38 injured.
Warner Bros won't be releasing weekend sales for the movie out of respect for the families that lost loved ones until Monday anyway...
Christopher Nolan comments on the incident
Some networks are removing The Dark Knight Rises commercials, and costumes are banned from theatres
More on removing commercials, also editing the trailer to remove all guns
President Obama comments on the incident
Despite all this, The Dark Knight Rises still opened with the second highest midnight showing
Gangster Squad trailer removed from The Dark Knight Rises previews

I'm wondering, is it too soon to quote The Joker?
