There are multiple Twitter users raging about the Joker, fearing that the movie might incite violence just because it is sympathetic toward the villain.

That all would be a non-issue if the US army and the FBI didnt feel the need to send out warnings.

Army officials in Oklahoma alerted soldiers about disturbing online chatter of a possible shooting at a movie theatre showing of ‘Joker’.

This online chatter is probably a result of a controversy that started when families of those killed in Aurora while watching a Batman film in 2012 have written to Warner Bros with concerns about the new Joker film because is presents the character as a protagonist with a sympathetic origin story.

Even though the families clarified that they’re not calling for the movie’s ban or boycott, this prompted a heated debate.
