NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES - Police in major U.S. cities were on alert on Thursday as “Joker” opened in movie theaters after weeks of publicity surrounding its disturbing portrait of a bullied loner raised fears it might spark violence.
The DC Comics character is associated with a 2012 mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a screening of a different Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises.” Families of some of the victims expressed concern about the new film and it will not be shown in the Aurora multiplex. Hollywood website Deadline cited an unnamed New York law enforcement official as saying that plainclothes officers would be stationed inside some movie theaters in the city. The NYPD could not confirm the report.“I don’t think there’s any fear at all. I think it’s the exact opposite - people wanting to go out and show that this movie can be just that - just a movie,” the podcast host and producer said as he bought a ticket for “Joker” near New York’s Times Square.
Movie studio Warner Bros. said last week that the film was not an endorsement of real-world violence.
