Dark Knight/ Batman/ Kiddie Movies no more

Batman. The inferior to Superman. I read and watched quite a few episodes of Superman, not so much Batman. Batman appears more of a joke, he had a sidekick, called Robin. And had word clouds like bam, wham and pow!, I just could not take him serious. He did have a cool car, and I did watch a few episodes of the Television show, Batman, but not for long. So, when the Dark Knight Rises was release, I did not feel anything. The fact that it was a 2 hours and 44 minutes, was not encouraging for me to revisit, the Batman of old. And than the unthinkable happened...12 people killed. 12 people killed by a person armed to kill at a midnight showing of the Dark Knight Rises. http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-dark-knight-shooting-20120720,0,2147749.story. The killer, a graduate student called himself the Joker was a medical student!http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/20/12850048-man-calling-himself-joker-kills-12-injures-59-at-batman-screening-in-aurora-colorado-authorities-say?lite Sad..no clouds of pow, bam, or wham will ever remove this massacre of the love of violence in the minds of young adults from those who went to see a cartoon character.
