'Joker' film has families of Aurora theater shooting victims on edge. Warner Bros. responds

. It was sent Tuesday to Warner Bros.’ new CEO, Ann Sarnoff, and was signed by several family members.

“At the same time, Warner Bros. believes that one of the functions of storytelling is to provoke difficult conversations around complex issues,” the statement read. “Make no mistake: neither the fictional character Joker, nor the film, is an endorsement of real-world violence of any kind. It is not the intention of the film, the filmmakers or the studio to hold this character up as a hero.”

Tuesday that the Aurora theater where the mass shooting happened will not be showing the film, citing a theater employee.

I’m scared to sit in a movie theater no matter what the movie is. I’m far more concerned that there’s no bag checks or metal detectors at the movies than I am about what’s on the screen, js.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that shootings have more to do with the U.S. having no control over lunatics getting guns than with any movie.

The new iPhone has people on edge. How is an expected emotional state newsworthy?

Stupid people just have armed citizens at the entrances. No costumes allowed

Who wants to see a deranged mentally ill person out of control? We’ve had enough of this in real life.

😂😂😂😂 lame... why we can’t have nice things

What a joke. It's a movie, not a documentary.

Triggered BanMovies BanHollywood Nobody ever thought about the how the hundreds of war movies might possibly trigger veterans with PTSD? PS: Every work of art IS SUPPOSED to trigger emotions. That’s the whole point.

Can't we all just pretend like everything is fine?

I miss the days when he was a funny, stupid criminal. lol

I really have zero interest in watching this film nor getting mowed down in a theater by some edgelord prick

Climate change scares me more

Better cancel and delete all batman movies.

I bet. But this kind of notion never stops them from making that garbage.

Makes sense.
