I am a Joker fan… Probably, I’m am one of the most fervent (and craziest) Joker fan in the world since I have created this site dedicated just to him, uand what happened in Aurora Colorado during the midnight view of the Dark Knight Rises has me outraged and I could not keep shut.
How in the world, James Holmes dares call himself “the Joker” and do this abominable act of violence? I find out that impossible to comprehend and I don’t have a bit of respect for this nut case. There is no excuse to hurt people. My dislike for him, has escalated to undescribable levels and his actions leaves me with a heavy weight on my soul.
WE, Joker fans are spread through out the world. We encompass every race, every creed, sexual orientation, every walk of life. We work with our communities, we might be the nurse or doctor who cares for you in the hospital, or the teacher who teaches in you school, maybe the father (or mother) that cares of her loving family, even your best friend, but you will NEVER SEE ANY OF US shooting innocent people or blowing up places, because we know what is rigth and what is wrong and above the difference between reality and fantasy.
And I want the world to understand…just because we like a character like the Joker does not make us psychos.
We understand this is a fictional character, nothing more and also understand many of the things he does are not right, but we are not any different from those fans of Voldemort or Snape from Harry Potter, Darth Vader from Star Wars, Hannibal Lecter, even Twighlight’s Edward or Hello Kitty. There are just some things about him that appeal to some of us but that does not make us bad people. And just so you know…
James Holmes IS NOT A JOKER FAN.
He is a very disturbed individual, a sociopath with no sense of apathy for his fellow men. I feel somewhat sorry for his family, for they will carry the stigma of what he did, but also ask myself…didn’t anybody saw signs of what this man was capable of doing? These guys have a great deal of difficulty dealing with the world around them. They are very angry and I can infer in Mr. Holmes’ case, he’s also hurting….from reasons I might never know and decided that others needed to hurt as much he is. And he didn’t care who it was hurting as long as they hurt too. They wanted the others to see his pain and he chose a very violent way of doing it.This does not excuse his actions, which should be punished according to law, but there should be also a lesson that this man might have been asking to be heard, long before he went as far as killing fellow people.
He is not the rule of the fandom, he is an exception.
And Finally,
The JOKER’S LAIR wants to emphasize that this place exists only the purpose of entertain, the Joker being the focus of our fandom, but in a non violent atmosphere. We do not condone violence in any way or directed to any life forms and we condemn any act of violence, especially this one that should have been avoided. The LAIR is saddened by the loss of 12 innocent lives. I, Jokerlady , moderator of this site want to say that my heart goes to the victims (fellow Batfans and maybe Jokerfans too) and their families and I really lament that a night of fun and adventure, turn into a nightmare for the acts of a disturbed individual like James Holmes. I understand your peain, and I offer you my heart in this sad moment to try and ease your pain.
To those gone, you will not be forgotten and to those that survived but were touched closely by this tragedy, receive my love and my extended hand in friendship. My thoughts are with you all in this sad moment.
Joker: (Hamill’s Voice) “Where’s the heck was that? Seriously you can’t just go on killing people at random, there has to be kink to the situation, that’s how people get the joke. What’s so possibly funny about killing people who wanted to see a movie that involves me?
Bane: U’m…excuse me?!
James Holmes…Your not funny! Your not Funny At all.
Man! And they say I’m the crazy one.”
Me: Sorry I just had to type this. I wanted to make a Joker reaction to this situation.
People who do this in the name of a fictional character make the Joker cry. :c
But seriously now – JokerLady is right. This man is not a Joker fan. He is a man who took a character concept too far and used it as a cry for help. Unfortunately, help came too late and 12 Bat-fans were killed. More were injured. All because they went to go see a film they had been anticipating for months, maybe years. There may have been and probably were some Joker fans in that audience that perished that night, and that thought most of all is what saddens me about this. People I have some sort of common thread with, though I may not have known them personally, were killed. Bat-fans were killed. Joker fans died. This is why the Bat-fandom at large is grieving, and why Joker fans are grieving. This was a tragedy, and it was a tragedy of extreme caliber for a fandom surrounding the exploits and adventures of a superhero who lost his parents to gunfire and who is a symbol of determination. It is even more of a tragedy for Joker fans to see our character abused in this way, and to know that some of our fellow Joker fans gunned down like animals.
All of the victims of this tragedy should know this – the Bat-fandom grieves with you, the Joker fans grieve with you, and I grieve with you. You have our thoughts, our prayers, our condolences, and our sympathy. God Bless.
You could not have said it better my friend. We are all saddened by what happened, and what to share our love and care to those affected by this tragedy. REAL Joker fans should unite and support those that have been touched by this monstruous act.
