When the new Joker movie opens nationwide on Oct. 4, at least one theater wont be screening it: Century Aurora and XD, formerly Aurora Century 16, in Aurora, Colorado.

In 2012, a gunman opened fire at the Century 16 during the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, which, like Joker, is part of the Batman franchise. The shooter murdered 12 people and injured 70 more.

Even though early rumors that the gunman identified himself as the Joker turned out to be completely unfounded , the concern that screening a film featuring the character might invite more violence kept it off the screen there.
