Costumes Banned at AMC After Dark Knight Shooting

From Eonline:

Warner Bros. isn't pulling Dark Knight Rises from theaters, but there are significant changes going into effect following the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.

After one law-enforcement official noted that James Holmes, the 24-year-old grad student suspected of murdering 12 and leaving 58 others injured during a midnight screening, "had his hair painted red...he was the Joker," AMC Theatres has banned moviegoers from coming to screenings in disguise. The chain won't allow "costumes that make other guests feel uncomfortable" and "will not permit face-covering masks or fake weapons inside our buildings."

In addition to the costume ban, several networks are pulling Dark Knight Rises TV ads from the airways.

A source confirms to E! News that NBC, CBS and ESPN were removing advertising for the would-be blockbuster from their airwaves. Although Warner Bros. has not asked for the ads to be pulled, but "fully supports any media partners who have decided to pull them."

This is such bullshit. The shooting had nothing to do with TDKR and that movie is being punished for it. FUCK this ticks me off
