MTV Geek has gathered the latest news out of the world of Batman - from "The Dark Knight Rises," to the DC comics, to the tragic real-life events and more.
FROM MTV SPLASH PAGE: "The Dark Knight Rises" novelization teases The Joker's whereabouts:
FROM THR: Was "Batman Inc #3" delayed because of an image of a teacher pulling a gun on her classroom?
The comic's scene-in-question, posted on TMZ, features the pistol-wielding teacher brandishing the weapon at the terrified teens, saying: "Everything you've been taught is a lie. You're being groomed as slaves, while the rich mock you with the eternal promise of a success you'll never achieve."
She adds: "Today we're all going to learn something new."
FROM MTV GEEK: The new Batman novel "Wayne of Gotham" contains scenes that eerily echo the Aurora shooting tragedy:
It was impossible for me to read the final chapters of this novel without being reminded of the recent shootings at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises." The last ultra-violent scenes in the book take place in, and immediately next to, a movie theater, in which there is a lot of shooting and blood. Also, the villain of the piece, Disciple, can't help but echo conspiracy theories bandied about in the more "fringe" areas of the Internet regarding real-life shooter James Holmes, with wild rumors of a "Jason Bourne"-type laboratory-created killer and a sudden personality alteration.

FROM NEXTMOVIE: The gang from MTV News and Next Movie discuss the ending of "The Dark Knight Rises"
FROM NY DAILY NEWS: Aurora shooting suspect James Holmes' claims of amnesia and "belly" aches:
“He claims he doesn’t know why he’s in jail,” the worker said Thursday. “He asked, ‘Why am I here?’”
Holmes, 24, who is charged with shooting a dozen people to death and wounding 58 more at a screening of the new Batman movie, was also complaining of a stomach ache caused by lousy jail food after his sixth day at the Arapahoe County Detention Center, the worker said.
“He’s claiming his belly hurts him,” the worker said. “He complained once that he didn’t like the food . . . The guy killed 12 people, and he’s upset that he’s not getting a four-star meal?

FROM MTV SPLASH PAGE: Will Joseph Gordon-Levitt take on a Batman follow-up?
"That's not for me to say," Joseph Gordon-Levitt said regarding a possible follow-up. "I think if you see the movie, it's very clear, it's conclusive and it's a great ending. It's not one of those movies that's just like, 'Well, we didn't quite know how to end it.' 'Cause those happen. They call it a trilogy, but it's not really a trilogy. It's just another movie to make more money. This is a trilogy, and this is the end of it."
