(Newser) – Two quick fallouts from the Dark Knight shooting in Colorado:

  • Warner Bros. has canceled what was supposed to a gala premiere for the movie tonight in Paris, according to the Hollywood Reporter. It also called off interviews with the stars.
  • NYPD chief Ray Kelly, meanwhile, says police will be a presence at city theaters this weekend to guard against copycats, notes Cinema Blend.
  • TMZ has other developments and video here.

Let this be an end to stupid fanboy leotard fantasies. Where is asshole Frank Miller these days? Isn't it time for him to say something asinine?

I won't feel safe in a theater again until I'm forced to take off my shoes, go through a metal detector & full body scanner, and all the brown people get strip searched. /sarcasm
