I love how they show Holmes playing Grand Theft Auto 5 and acting violently but in reality he played Warcraft strategy games.
+ another 3000, 300 & 18yrs.. Added
And GTA 5 wasn’t even out yet before he committed the massacre
No came out and year later@@420Henthai69
I wish there was something better than a “like” because it was driving me up a wall that they used this story to push a “violent video game” narrative! He has said on many occasions that he played strategy games. Thank you for your comment lol
Who cares ?
"One similarity between James and the Joker was that Joker always had a smirk. James also sometimes had a smirk" Honestly this is absolutely awful garbage, how hard they are hammering on this 'wannabe Joker' aesthetic that did not exist.
Tell me about it unbelievable
I remember when this happened, so frightening for those people. I pray the families and those in attendance at theater are doing well.
The damn shrink with all the plastic surgery he don't look like his driver's liscence! He is as scary as holmes!
James took great lengths to hide his illness. To that extent, he knew his thinking was way off & wrong.
I think you took a lot of time with your comment too, makes me wonder?
@@johnratlift6205 Is there something wrong with you...?
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge Me? Not.
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge Might be maybe something clicking in your head that's not normal though.
@@johnratlift6205 does your elevator reach the top floor
The guy playing James Holmes is going for a academy award 😂😂😂 what a dork😂😂
He didn't just 'cry for help',--he stood on a roof-top with a flashing neon sign.
Condolences to all that lost their loved one(s), & anyone else that was impacted by this terrible act. We should FEEL - & BE safe in our everyday life-especially when going out to watch a movie.
And was completely ignored. The system failed the victims and James. Don’t get me wrong though, I have no sympathy for him, he deserves to be where he is, but he could have potentially been helped/stopped.
Yes preventable
Students encouraged him to get help. His parents took to counseling, AND, James was competent enough to conceal and prevent others from helping him. The episode blatantly shares how James willingly took himself out of socialization. There is medication for his anxiety, but James did not want it. He wanted to indulge in his concealed voices.
Due why is James laughing in the car and what he did due is a weirdo ok wtf
Man in jail James is going to get beat up they are going to beat him up he is going to be someone girlfriend
Wow, that neighbor dodged death big time. I bet she’ll never try to open a neighbor’s door ever again though.
I was just googling his name to see if there was any recent news about him, and there are several articles claiming the “joker” inspiration was a total rumor, even the DA says nothing indicates it.
The Dark knight was by far the best comic book movie brought to life ever. For all his genius he just shot people.
“get the defendant out of my court room please” that judge is iconic
I remember the night this happened, I was working at a different cinemark theater in a different state and we were all struck by how it could have been any night, anywhere, any premiere.
Did they close the theater down that night.
@@bluefaery1865 the premieres were already showing in their respective theaters and management didn't pass down the information until we were already closing and cleaning up the concession area (where I worked), we didn't close the theater that night but to this day I believe they have strict policies when it comes to face paint / costume masks with most of them being not allowed.
@Kor B I know where I'm at, they've also started checking people's bags at the door. At first, I thought it was to prevent snacks from being snuck in, but then I realized it's only since the shooting. And there's police officers that patrol the theaters here, too.
@@moldyvoldy1231 I didn't think they were allowed to check bags at a movie theater without reason but it's a smart idea. After Columbine, lots of school districts made it so the only acceptable backpack was a clear one so staff could look in. Last time I ever saw a cop at the theaters was for The Grudge 2 and that was just because that particular theater was the one where the high or drunk college kids would go. Distracting but things never got violent. Having to have them because of a massacre in a theater by a deranged person isn't something I thought we'd ever arrive at.
@Modeling STNA Britt yeah. It's pretty crazy. My husband and I have our CCW permits, and I don't think they even allow legal carry in theaters around here anymore (understandably so). But with Covid, no one really goes to the movies anymore anyway, especially since they've been doing the premium access stuff through streaming services. A bunch of them have been permanently closed.
crazy eyes. They always have dead, crazy eyes...
Black contacts
This forensic psychologist is way too dramatic for my liking.
Yes. Agree.
@@masked_being I googled him cause I wanted to know what the J in his name stands for, with no results. He’s actually very accomplished and now works for the NYPD. His dramatic pauses really bother me
Well that’s too bad man. Sorry to hear that ;(
Lol indeed
@@alisonp3398 dudes. Imagine working with him in the field 😂. All his coworkers and colleagues must hate him so much. Like oh great we have to talk to him and deal with his weird ass dramatic talking againnnn
It quite literally was almost possibly my cousin. He had planned on going to that exact showing of that exact movie at the theater in Aurora, CO on that exact day! I'm soooo thankful he changed his mind. So incredibly tragic and this just shows how much more mental health NEEDS to be addressed! He was telling others he wants to kill people! Hello!!
That was a very sad day for many Coloradoan I remember when the news broke on it, and the sadness I felt for each family.
He is a disturbed monster, but he isn't insane.. he knew exactly what he was doing..
You're ignorant. You have no idea about his sanity unless you're a licensed pshrink & have studied him.
Thank lord he told police about the booby traps
Someone can know what they are doing and still be mentally ill you idiot
1st Batman best . With Jack Nicholson. Had it all .
You're absolutely right. He knew. He is undoubtedly clinically insane, but not insane by the legal definition of the term. He knew what he was doing, and that it was wrong. That is evident by fact that he hid his plans and preparations so carefully.
What a heartbreaking crime.. RIP victims💐
This show, "Copycat Killers", reaches waaaaaay too far for its content. I feel like these crimes are sensational all on their own, there's no reason to compare them to films. Especially the "Saw" episode.
Okay thank you. This one did not sit right with me. I just commented as well.
Right?!
That saw one was so bad of a reach. Lmao. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.
Agreed. There's only a couple of them that I've seen where they present proof (either in video format or writing) that the killers were inspired by movies. The rest of them, I'm just like... this show should be called killer comparison because thats all these people are doing, and most of them are poorly done. They're not copycats.
@@andrebrown10101 You’re definitely not alone.
True, if Holmes had watched Sesame Street, he would still be crazy. All the movie did was give him a different persona. They should be glad he didn't snap watching Sesame Street... he might have dressed as Cookie Monster & gone to an elementary school.
That neighbour dodged a mile wide hole in the ground & saved probably thousands of lives. She needs to buy a lotto ticket because she is the luckiest person around. Giant kudos to her ❤️🙏
I remember this like it was yesterday. I remember seeing a young boy dressed as Batman with his dad. I had an unbelievable case of PPD with my last son. I hysterically cried off and on for about 3 days after hearing/seeing this tragedy. May all the victims RIP and their families and friends find solace and peace 🕊
Jnjokookokonookoo
Why didn’t he pull this on the 2nd 1 which has his idol TheJoker why’d he pull it on the 3Rd 1
20:47-20:46 Fun Fact: The 3Rd 1s not only my all time favorite Outa the trilogy but it’s my all time favorite Outa every any superhero movie
Ahh
Ahh
3,318 years without parole. Now that's funny.
He’s not even going to be alive by those many years anymore
He makes it to 3,319 years lol
How did he afford to buy his arsenal of weapons? How did he afford his rent?
he was a student; student loans
Probably mommy dearest was taking care of her baby.
He had like 10k in the bank.
The world is full of so much hate and rage and resentment 🥺 that’s why literally just saying hello to someone that nobody else ever even notices can literally save lives I’m not saying it’s anybody else’s fault it’s not I’m just saying we need to find a way to start paying attention more
Dude must have been clever asf though, managed to play GTA 5 years before any of us or even Rockstar..
Exactly what I was thinking
That school pic of him smiling looks slightly creepy.
Every pic of him is creepy. His cold empty eyes
@@rivera42johnsonwhat do you expect he’s a psychopath!
Yes
The fact that he could’ve left is scary to me imagine the more damage he could’ve done
Too bad James just didn't put himself out of misery.
Exactly!
Yea shame he failed
Thought this said pull at first. Wish there was help for everyone out there
@@SuperBakersk8er I think you auto-corrector bungled your comment. Could you try it again? I'd like to understand what you have to say.
@@theunspokentruth5987the therapy didn’t work out for him so that failed too
Close up of him with the gun grinning from ear to ear tells it all those figgin black demonic looking eyes shows his true colors may everyone there alive or deceased be Blessed and hopefully find some kind of healing and peace after this horrific tragedy of an evening that will never be forgotten my prayers are with u all
Demonic is exactly right!
@@lg9373 alright cause on the upper right corner the words "actual photo" came to mind he is not human but a demonic monster 😈😈
Scared the daylights out of me .
Those are contact lenses. He was high as a kite on Scopolomine ... he didn't remember any of that. As years go by they just build the story as it is.
Dr J Buzz Von Ornsteiner looks like a true life joker 🃏
i just said the same thing
He gives me the creeps.
Always pisses me off, these people are always cowards. They look for a place that's crowded where people wouldn't be nearly defenseless like sitting ducks. And instead of just going and killing himself, which is technically what he wanted to do, it seems like he wanted to go kill a bunch of innocent people.

They are blaming society for not accepting them or understanding them.. so anything infront of them is calamity to happen.. why cant the physiatrists go to police citing potential danger .. why no one called back from crisis care number .. he wanted help but physiatrists could not ..
There's no similarities between the joker and him, the joker is a fictional character and James took it unscripted it and scripted it into his own psyche then blamed it on this idea. It was all incumbency, is it all about their mental health or is it also about the notoriety it will bring too. Severe social anxiety but put yourself in a situation were everyone is going to be concentrating on you? He had a brilliant mind that couldn't adapt to society or our definition of normality. I feel he's just bone chillingly evil
Great production.
💯👍
Thanks
Gotta love how this show blame the movies when almost all of the people who killed had mental issues and so on. I guess it is much easier to blame movies and games instead of working to build up more help for mental issues and bullying.
so blame the mental issues and bullying?
This documentary states James "binge watched" the dark Knight and became obsessed. Yet the shooting happened at the premiere (The first showing in cinemas) .
Yes it happened at the premiere of The Dark knight Rises (the THIRD in the series.)
@@Yuilhan35Umm no it didn't
@@erinlorca1240yes it did 2012 was Dark Knight rises the dark knight was 2008. If you actually watched the documentary it literally says it was at Dark Knight rises premiere dumbo
@erinlorca1240 yes it did. The shooting happened July 20th 2012, The Dark Knight Rises released July 20th 2012.
I grew up where this happened. That judge rules!
"At least he did something in a movie theatre that people will remember".
i can’t imagine how that neighbour must feel knowing how close she came to death
Aurora is part of Denver and no where near a small town.
Said this before I’ll say it again I love this show.
The movie theater is the last place where one would expect a shooting ..
Terrifying.
Why did he warn the authorities about the explosives?
I wonder the same thing... It's really confusing, if he wanted to cause as much havoc as possible.. why warn them? I remember when this happened, reading all the conspiracy theories on it. Some of them stuck with me I guess.
@@Aschuu I was confused by it too. What are those theories, i'm curious.
He was hoping to blow up a bunch of cops including the massive amount of people living close enough by.
@@deezildee4556just like terrorism
I would assume joker ultimatum. Like they’re playing a game and times running out
When going to the movies, always choose a seat close to the exit.
There was no escape
No one was next to the exit, I think
What about his therapist? When did he receive the diary and torn up notes?
Dr. Buzz Von Osterizer is a Shatner clone with no genuine insight. Pretty much the norm with the 'experts' features in programs of this genre.
Academic achievement it seems can be very dangerous because it often covers more serious personal issues they may be experiencing in life.This coupled with social anxiety makes it something extremely dangerous,condolences to all envolved.
Marcus Weaver seems like a beautiful person inside and out!
"Buzz" is a suitable name for a 2 bit ham wannabe actor.
Side Note; All the jokers have GREEN HAIR... Not orange.. All the Jokers Dress with class in a suite,. Not Riot Gear.. James was his own type of killer. So it's not really a copycat..
I hate to say it but i had court the same day he did at arapahoe court house. I believe it was his first court date. There were so many news vans and there were actually snipers on the roof. It also delayed our court hearings haha
I wonder how the movie industry is reacting on the fact that their movies are being used to compare or even explain the actions of a wack job?
That nosy old Karen neighbour nearly got ka-boomed !
And l am very sorry for the people who lost their lives sorry for the families.
Dr. Buzz is a great choice for these spine chilling videos.!!
He sucks bullets. He's nothing but a money grubbing wannabe psychologist. Pffftt.
I don't think you can classify James Holmes as a human being, not with what he's done. He's a deeply disturbed monster who can't distinguish or understand the diffrence between fantasy and reality and it cost the lives of so many people. His parents tried to get him help and he didn't accept it. He's insane but not incompetent so he is guilty.
G's partner here...The signs were there long before this tragedy. I have a mental illness, which includes social anxiety etc...so I don't believe that or his past is an excuse, video games, or movies etc. He's just evil. My opinion only. My heartfelt thoughts go to the victims, families and friends.
Went to high school with him, would have never expected it.
How was he in school?
I remember when I saw the Dark Knight in 2008 I thought that at least one person in the world is going to copycat the Joker character in a bad way.Films and Entertainment have the ability to influence minds sometimes in a very bad way.Never confuse art and entertainment with reality.
He was MK Ultra'd.
Thank you! Yes guy.
The saddest thing to me was Mark Hamill's reaction to it all. For those of you who aren't aware, good ol Luke was the voice of The Joker from BTAS and to a lot of fans quintessential clown prince of crime.
A perfect blend of a clown and the killer. Mark was devastated by what had happened, even going so far as to blame himself at one point.
If Mark is blaming himself, he’s an idiot.
Rest In Peace Heath, absolute acting legend 🤘
Legend is a stretch but he was good
Yet another case of a kid who comes from a well to to do family with parents that are really intelligent and they have these kids who are just weird and grow up to be mass killers or slaughter there own families. And they talk about children of poor families. And you hear about cases like this all the time allover the place. And a great many of them come from these well to do over achiever families.
For example?
Yeah can we have some examples to see that this is a common occurrence? Because I believe there is alot more evidence of children coming from poverty stricken backgrounds, with parents who are not as educated, then the child grows up and joins a gang or feels unwanted and in turn, murders... Alot more documented cases of that...
I agree these silver spoon fed kids have way to much privilege and believe they can do whatever they please without consequences like the school shootings in Colorado
I think we're giving this kid a little too much credit. The joker was planned to a much more sophisticated degree. Plus, the comparison is all this evil kid wanted. Let's not give him that satisfaction.
Weird..description of a grown man
@@_glockboy_ I have a hard time looking at him and saying “grown man,” but I get what you’re saying.
One of these presenters give me Herman Monster vibes from the 80’s tv show.
hahahaha right?!
The Joker is Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk’s love child.
People have made a massive thing about James and the Batman films. But one of the main reasons he chose that film screening was because it was on late at night, and there was less chance of any children there, because its alleged he said he didn't want to shoot any kids.
It shows how calculated he thinks. Weird.
Wasn’t it just a midnight premiere release? By happenstance.
On a more brighter sidestory: As many of you would've read or heard, Christian Bale, who played Batman and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne in the Dark Knight trilogy, and his wife made an amazingly surprising, yet emotion, visit to Aurora several days after the massacre, where they layed flowers at the memorial for the victims outside the Century 16 theater and met the wounded survivors in the hospital.
The doctor in these videos makes them almost intoxicating.
I never cared for the direction they took the character of Batman, probably for the same reason James was drawn to it.
"Now he wants the glory and recognition" let's not give it to these people. It's rewarding bad behavior.
He’s crazy wish he would have got help instead of killing 😢😢
My parents were due to go to that filming and theater but decided not to as my mother did not feel well.. Erie my maiden name is Egan.. WOW..
We have him, among others here at a prison in Tucson AZ> Stop by for a visit, bring Dr. Buzz.
Therapists aren’t worth a dollar!!
Even by his own account he wasn't trying or idolized to be the joker.
Does anyone know if that theater is still in business? Because I could see some people being uncomfortable there after all of that. Oh, and R.I.P. to all of the victims that didn't survive.
It was remodeled, renamed and reopened 6 months after the incident. There was a remembrance ceremony as well.
@@istateyourname4710 Thx. Always wondered what happened to the theater. That's great. Glad they were able to survive that.
My Ex lived 3 blocks away from him and her son went to that theater all the time, he wasn’t there that night, but after it happened he never went back.
It was remodeled and the theatre that the attack happened in is now an IMAX style theatre
Did i hear, 27 life sentences!! Well now, it's about time.
He was just deadset crazy lol
I don't know why Americans keep saying "no one was expecting something like this". You've got guns up to your eyebrows, yet you're surprised when people use them?
The boobytrapped apartment potentially killing hundreds in a mile wide blast was a stretch. that dude looks and talks like a super villain.
maybe would have taken out the apartment building if even that but a mile radius? LOL. He didnt have a little boy in his room
He's a diabolical madman.
I had nightmares about that bloody Joker it seems funny looking back on it as I was only a young teen but even now at 28 he still gives me the creeps.
By reason of insanity….there’s no excuse to kill people!
I can't stand seeing these pics of actors in place lol it always makes me laugh
I am really getting into Copy cat killers.
Epic gamer moment. We live in a society
The bloke in the suit is way too intense and should prolly stop with the Botox.😳
The fact that he could order everything on line within months says it all! 🙈🙉🙊
Did he really have to say everyone was blown away in the audience. One minute in. Really?
Whats the deal with the nintendo sounds on the gta5 game he was playing?
I am so sorry that juror didn't go to see the movie
7:00 He didn't even play GTA, he played Warcraft 3 (and, correct, he was one of the best players at one point)
The video game music is hilarious
Heath Ledgers last ACTUAL role before death was in The Imaginarium of Dr Parnosuss. Horrible movie,, but THAT was his actual last movie. He passed away before Batman was released
Guess he didn’t like the last instalment in the trilogy
Anyone else noticed the second mass murderer in that video?
"Some men.... just wanna watch the world burn"
I was their that day! Got super lucky cause I went to the showing b4 it all happen, I remember seeing him in the lobby when I was leaving... That hair really stands out,. Crazy $hit
Just took my two little girls to the Taylor Swift premier of her Eras tour movie on Friday October 13th 2023. As a mother I sat there and couldn’t help but think of this case, it didn’t cross my mind until I kept hearing popping sounds behind me as all the little girls danced and sang to the music, I heard popping sounds two different times and couldn’t enjoy the movie because I sat there continuously scanning the theater for anyone suspicious or acting out of the ordinary, cases like this truly have an effect on everyone for decades to come😭😓 I am a staunch supporter of the 2A and wished I was able to conceal carry just in case of something like this happening, I wouldn’t have been as on edge if that were the case but sadly it’s not...the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun period..
He looks like Mark Zuckerberg with his hair grown out.
Zuckerberg is way more responsible for way more misery than this James guy. Zuckerberg is a monster.
I've been to this very theater, in the same auditorium it happened in...And they've got the cheapest movie tickets at $4.00 a piece. This was 10 years ago, so idk now, but it was eerie being in thst exact same theater. I kept looking over my shoulder. 👀
Crime tourism.
Like Whitechapel in London.
