The U.S. military has warned service members about the potential for a mass shooter at screenings of the Warner Bros. film Joker, which has sparked wide concerns from, among others, the families of those killed during the 2012 mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

If youre looking to dress up as your favorite Batman villain next weekend, you may need to double-check which theater youre going to. Landmark Theatres has confirmed they are banning costumes, face painting and masks when the new Joker movie hits screens.

One military division has already warned law enforcement about the potential for violence during the screenings of Joker after extremists posts were apparently sent through social media.

Eh after Aurora you can't really blame any theater. Copy cats exist. A former gamefaqs user attempted to be one as a matter of fact

No. Something might happen because all it takes is a little push.

yea and the push is from the media. not the movie. the media is putting ideas in killer's heads. the articles saying "someone might shoot up a Joker screening" is what will make them do it. not the movie

Why this movie specifically vs all the other movies it could have happened in? Do mass shooters like Jared Leto that much?

yeah the media is somewhat responsible but at this point the US military is warning about it so it's not just the media anymore
