[Mr. Holmes]

My god I'm freaking sick of this happening.

[Bo-Man]

I agree with you Mr. Holmes ! It is ridiculous!

[Cypher-Z]

Yeah, thats kind of ridiculous.

Guess the little movie shooter wins after all.

[neverender]

All of this because the shooting was at a comic book movie...

Come on DC, no one is blaming you so don't go changin' to try to please me...I love you just the way you are!

[The Animal Man]

Yeah, thats kind of ridiculous.

is society so weak that one man with a gun can make us give up our freedom to enjoy what we want?

[LoneNecromancer]

Oh come on, I didn't mind Batman Inc being delayed but a change like this feels silly.

[Darkspellmaster]

So are they also going to ignore the chance to promote the idea that guns are dangous in the hads of someone young too? Urgh Just urgh! Watch them change hair color and such for any character with red hair and a gun.

Millions of people will see DKR, only one guy (who didn't even see the film I presume) was psycho enough to shoot up a theater. Crazy is going to be crazy no matter what. Changing films, altering the upcoming animated series, all this paranoia is getting ridiculous. Just like Judas Priest didn't make those kids "do it" when they shot themselves in the head, TDKR and other films are not the reason this d-bag hurt and killed all of those people last weekend. He did it because he is a pathetic nutjob piece of turd. This super-sensitive approach does nothing but neuter good entertainment.

[The Animal Man]

if this happened at amazing spider man or avengers do you think marvel would be crippling the spider man franchise or anything to do with the avengers?

[Bedlam66]

I hate it when a company has a reactionary response like this. It just brings everything else down.

[Nite-Wing]

I mean some people really are sensitive to this type of thing. I don't recall anyone being up in arms when after 9/11 shows went out of the way to edit out or just stop airing episodes with the twin towers featured in them.
This is just all about being sensitive to others who may be offended by Batman for a long time considering so many people got hurt or killed because of the movie premiere.

so what? does this mean the death of dark and brooding batman...Rebirth of the campy adam west batman because he doesn't offend anyone?

[white_wolf]

Ugh, this pisses me off. Delaying Inc. 3 is annoying, but understandable. I'm now worried they are going to change the show itself.

[RoughNTumble]

does this mean we're getting lasers in a pulp adventure show?

they might as well cancel it as far as I'm concerned
