THE DARK KNIGHT RISES: Warner Bros. Cancel Future Cast Appearances In Mexico And Japan

Really sad, especially considering this was a very, very good movie.

RIP Batfans.

I really hope that asshole pays for this horrific act.

Not sabotaging, I think they don't want to promote the movie knowing what happen while people were watching their film.

this is very sad how one sick person effects everything

Honestly the movie will be fine. It will make loads of money because of this. They will re-release it "in memory of the aurora victims". Terrible that someone would do something like that. The death penalty would be too easy for this character. He wants to be the Joker? Take some razor blades to his face.

The film has practically promoted itself. I see nothing wrong with bringing it down a notch for a while out of respect.

Its still playing worldwide well maybe not in some countries though

"I have felt sick to my stomach all day thinking about the terrible "Movie Massacre," as they're calling it. It is incredibly hard for me to imagine how someone could do something so horrible. There have been so many valid theories as to what might have influenced this young man and his actions. While I believe many of these, there is one influence I cannot seem to ignore. Like so many voices I heard today on the news, I do place some blame on the media. There are too many video games, movies, and TV shows that glorify violence, making it seem fun, cool, easy, justified, and a game. Well I'm sure those poor victims and their families know better than anyone that violence is not cool, is not justified, and is most definitely not a game. It is easy to watch what is on a screen and forget the world around you, becoming unaware of the line between reality and fantasy. Many people have been hurt in the past from this lack of distinction, and I have a strange feeling this problem also influenced the 24 year-old graduate student last night. Whether we notice or not, we are constantly being influenced by the media we are pumping and pumping into our lives. Please be careful, please be smart, and please don't be afraid to limit yourself to what you do or do not watch, listen to, or play. The media is a powerful tool. Use it to influence you and the world for the better, not to tear it apart. My heart, prayers, and so much love goes out to those who were affected by this tragedy. Please know we are all with you and love you." - My friend

My own words:

This horrible event has made me think about film, violence, and man's hatred toward each other. We so easily gravitate towards violence as entertainment. We glorify killing. We praise action and superiority of one strong or cunning man over the other. Often times I feel that we tend to forget the real message behind the heroes that we praise on screen or on the comic book page. It is the selfless acts of the hero to protect the helplesss and the innocent that we should be praising, not the violence. We should remember more about the senseless tragedies that begat heroes like Batman, Spider-Man, and so on, not the tales of vengeance or the "epic deaths" of villains.

Beyond film and comics, we've become a society full of hatred and divisions among ourselves. Racism, partisanship, rivalries, fanboy divisions. We abandon our civility at the drop of a hat. We quickly separate ourselves into "us vs them."

Rather than dividing ourselves by differences, we should be uniting together through common grounds, finding compassion for one another through similarities. We are all part of one family. We are ONE race, the human race. We all struggle through this life of strife and survival together. If we all looked upon those that suffer with compassion, life for all would improve. Compassion overcomes evil at every turn. Tragedy can beget frustration, anger, panic, and hatred, or it can beget love, renewal of morality, and inspiration toward a better world.

No amount of government policies, organized religions, or media inspirations can bring these changes about. They must be individual and personal. Change must start from our own free will and hearts first. The world changes one person at a time.

They're definitely better off not going to Mexico.

@cipher I'm simply saying that though attending premiers is of course not important now, I think they should hit the head on evil with head on good.
But only with the families approval should they get that involved.

The should do what they can to take the attention away from that coward because that was part of what he wanted and the media fixating on him shows other potential coward shooters what they can achieve.

I know the President spoke out yesterday and I wish he would call out the media for sensationalizing this and condemn them for it and embarrass them.

CNN and FOX tried their best to attach flashy titles to the shootings as they have done with so many other horrific events.

The guys face is held up on their sites just as he would want. So he got his wish. He got to murder people and get his face and name known to us all.

I agree with Pendaghast. What makes these 12 deaths so much more newsworthy than the thousands that die every day?

But of course by asserting this, people naturally think your cynical

you have to look at it from nolan and the casts point of view, they know if they turn up all the media in the world will decend on them and they will not ask questions about the movie, they are most prob affected just like we all are about what happened.

Especially now that the media are using links to the comics books, l mean sky news here in the UK are using the joker scene from the dark knight where he blows up 2 bombs at the same time as the link, l mean wtf!

Out of respect they are staying away, l think after that sad frick reveals why he did it cos we all know he did it for a sick reason not because of the movie or being the joker then slowly nolan and the crew will turn up.

l'm watching the movie tommorow, looking forward to it but in a weird way.

@Pendaghast I'm not sure where you live but yes there is shock. Not surprise that it's possible no. And there is a feeling of sadness and sympathy for all the victims and families.

And from the outside you may think that citizens of this country are delighted with our Government but I don't know a single person, nor have I ever who approves of our Government. Country-yes. The Politicians who run it-NO!

The fact that the shooter was able to walk into Gun Shops WITH PINK HAIR-3 weeks ago, not speak to people and appear to be drugged up, and get his assault weapon modified is totally ridiculous. But it happened.

And now he's practically a celebrity. And the media have a story for their ratings.

I can almost guarantee that the shooter's gun was either bought illegally or modified illegally as assault rifles are illegal for private ownership in the U.S. As for Warner Bros. cancelling their press events I believe the words of Harvey Dent suffice: "You can't give in!" Go see.the movie. Do not let fear dictate your actions.

It's a sign of respect, I'd think Marvel would do the same.

They should come- to show support!!!!

NO.
