The comic-book community, a normally peaceful group with like-minded folks from creators to readers, is reeling today with the news of the movie-theater tragedy in Aurora, Colo.
But Batman isn’t to blame for the incident, says comic-book writer and novelist Brad Meltzer (Justice League of America), “and anyone who says that to me is a little bit insane.
“We can’t possibly say this could be more tragic, but I do think that there’s some twisted irony in the fact that it’s a movie of someone who so many people look up to and a movie that celebrates someone who can stop this kind of violence.”
