  • Watch Batman And Superman Battle To The Death

    Batman and Superman usually have a healthy respect for one another, but they do occasionally fight. Superman would obviously win in terms of pure brute force, but Batman does sometimes scrape out a win with his superior intellect and tactics.

    Batman’s superior tactics win out once again in the final round of the Injustice: Gods Among Us battle arena. After a month of fights, it came down to the two most iconic characters in the DC Comics universe. The victor was decided by votes, but it was pretty obvious that Batman was going to win anyway.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us has been available since Tuesday, and early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. There seems to be some issues with balance, but that shouldn’t bother hardcore DC fans looking to live out their fantasy of Aquaman becoming the most powerful DC hero.

  • Injustice: Gods Among Us Should Get An Animated Film

    Up until this point, I’ve always thought that Injustice: Gods Among Us looked like a great game. After the reveal of the opening cinematic, I’m convinced that DC needs to make an animated film.

    If you’re unfamiliar with the events leading up to hero vs. hero fights in Injustice, let’s just say that Metropolis is no more and Superman is very angry. You should avoid the video below if you don’t want the opening moments of the game’s story spoiled, but there’s some quality storytelling and acting here. The Joker in particular stands out even though it’s a little sad that Mark Hamill didn’t reprise his role this time around.

    If you don’t like spoilers and just want to watch super heroes beat each other up, you should check out the launch trailer for the game. There’s plenty of combat to go around.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us will launch on April 16 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

  • You Can Play Injustice: Gods Among Us Right Now… On Your iPhone

    Injustice: Gods Among Us, the DC fighter from NetherRealm Studios, isn’t set to launch on consoles until April 26. If you really need your Injustice fix now, however, you might want to try the recently released game for iOS.

    Thankfully, the iOS version of Injustice isn’t a poorly constructed fighting game for mobile platforms. Instead, the team has created a thoughtful title that combines the cinematic fights of its console brother with an accessible collectible card game mechanic that players can use to level up their fighters.

    As an added bonus, Injustice for iOS unlocks exclusive content in the console version of the game. It’s not being said what can be unlocked, but it’s probably a few costumes or other aesthetic rewards. Still, it’s better than nothing.

    You can grab Injustice for iOS here. It’s a free-to-play title supported by microtransactions that aren’t exactly micro. There’s something definitely wrong when an in-game item costs $100, but that debate is for another time.

  • Googlers Turn Sergey Brin’s Tesla into a Pink Batmobile for April Fools

    Googlers Turn Sergey Brin’s Tesla into a Pink Batmobile for April Fools

    Now this is an April Fool’s Day prank on the boss.

    Apparently, some Google execs decided to mess with co-founder Sergey Brin’s car earlier this week. They proceeded to transform his Tesla Model S into a pink batmobile, complete with headlight eyelashes, batwings, and a giant batman logo.

    Awesome.

    Google search quality analyst Nathan Johns posted a photo of the reconfigured Tesla Model S. Barry Schwartz over at Search Engine Roundtable tracked down a thread on the Tesla Motors Club forums that confirms that the pink batmobile Tesla is most likely Brin’s ride.

    This is funny, and it’s made even funnier when you remember all of that “Sergey Brin is Batman” stuff that started flying around Google HQ a couple of years ago surrounding developments in Google X.

  • Batman And Superman Will Face Off In The Injustice Battle Arena Finale

    Batman and Superman – the two characters that pretty much define the DC Universe. The two have come to blows in the past, and they will again in the Injustice: Gods Among Us Battle Arena finale.

    Before we get to that, however, Batman and Superman had to emerge victorious over their opponents in the semi-finals. First up, Batman squared off against The Flash where Batman easily took the win. Of course, some YouTube commenters are not exactly pleased with the outcome – rightly pointing out that The Flash could handily beat Batman in a matter of seconds if the outcome was decided by anything other than voting.

    The other matchup saw Superman taking on Green Lantern. Once again, votes decide the ultimate victor, but this fight is at least a little more balanced. Green Lantern can easily put up a decent fight against Superman, but the combined powers of Superman and Killer Croc were just too much to bear.

    The final fight between Superman and Batman will air two weeks from now. Both characters are incredibly popular so it will be interesting to see which hero gets the most votes.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us launches across the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U on April 16.

  • Injustice Battle Arena Quarterfinals End With Few Surprises

    After a week hiatus, the Injustice: Gods Among Us Battle Arena is back. Instead of making us wait four weeks to see each quarterfinal matchup, the Injustice team has dumped all four fights on us at once in preparation for the semi-finals a few weeks from now.

    First up, we have the much anticipated match up between Batman and Wonder Woman. Since the victors are decided by popular vote, it’s pretty obvious that Batman would win this fight. That being said, Wonder Woman puts up a great fight. Her stage is also a thing of beauty.

    In what is possibly the strangest matchup today, The Joker and The Flash face off. I would have figured that The Joker would win the most votes, but The Flash came through to earn himself a spot against Batman in the semi-finals.

    On the other side of the bracket, we first have Aquaman versus Green Lantern. While it was nice to see Aquaman come away with at least one win, he couldn’t stand up to the might of Hal Jordan.

    The final fight is by far the most unfair of the bunch – Superman versus Green Arrow. Green Arrow has some amazing trick arrows, but Superman was guaranteed to win.

    The results of the quarterfinals ensure that we’re in for a treat once the semifinals start up a few weeks from now. I’m especially interested in seeing that Batman versus The Flash fight. It’s sure to be exciting.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us hits Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U on April 26

  • New Batman Mythology is Coming to Comics

    The Associated Press is reporting that Batman will be getting some new backstory in an upcoming story arc to be written by Scott Snyder.

    Though key elements of Bruce Wayne’s past will not be changed (his parents will still have been murdered) the character’s growth from Bruce Wayne to Batman will receive a makeover. The 11-part story will detail Bruce Wayne’s first encounter with a super villain and show him building the bat cave. It will also reveal a new story on how the character eventually donned the now-famous Batman costume. The story arc will be called “The Zero year.”

    Snyder told the AP that he and other DC Comics writers “tried to preserve as much of Batman’s history as we could.” He also mentioned that DC is “not going to take apart ‘Year One,” referring to Frank Miller’s 1987 Batman story that recounts Batman’s early crime fighting. Many of the elements from that story were used by Christopher Nolan in the most recent Batman film adaptations, including Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

    “The Zero Year” will begin as Robin, the Boy Wonder, has been killed off in the comic Batman Incorporated. The most current Robin was the son of Bruce Wayne, suggesting that, perhaps, the introspection of “The Zero Year” will shape Batman as a character going forward.

  • Robin The Boy Wonder Killed: Last Of The Sidekick?

    Spoilers ahead! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    Robin the Boy Wonder is set to be killed off in an upcoming issue of “Batman Incorporated”, and some fans are wondering if this spells out the end of Batman’s sidekick for good.

    This incarnation of Robin was created after the first one–Dick Grayson–moved on and after the death of teenage Robin Jason Todd. In the latest comics, Robin is Damien, the 10-year old son of Bruce Wayne and the daughter of his longtime enemy, Ra’s Al Ghul. After starting his storyline as an ill-tempered, violent brat, Damien eventually rose up to become a respectable member of the Batman universe. It took over six years to achieve, and writer Grant Morrison is proud of the character arc.

    “What we did was turn this little monster into a superhero,” he said. “He’s a little brat, but he’s a super-brat.”

    Though he does admit that Damien is about to meet his end, he doesn’t want to give too much away, saying only, “He saves the world. He does his job as Robin. He dies an absolute hero.”

    There’s no word yet on whether Morrison believes Damien could be resurrected in future issues, like Jason Todd was. However, Morrison did say that Batman will always have a friend at his side.

    “You can never say never in a comic book . . . Batman will ultimately always have a partner,” he said.

  • Superman And Batman Come Together In New Comic Series

    Superman and Batman have an interesting dynamic together that’s been explored numerous times in DC fiction over the years. One of the best examples was when Batman and Superman teamed up in World’s Finest to take down a partnership between The Joker and Lex Luthor. Now DC is bringing them back together for a new series.

    DC Comics announced this week that it would be starting up a new Batman/Superman comic book series as part of the New 52 reboot that launched last year. The new series will focus on the first meeting between what are arguably DC’s most iconic and popular characters.

    First time DC writer Greg Pak will be in charge of the story with Jae Lee handling the art. Marvel fans will know Pak from his work on Incredible Hullk and War Machine. Jae Lee is also a frequent Marvel artist who has worked on series like Fantastic Four and Young Avengers. This will not be Lee’s first time with DC, however, as he did the art for Before Watchmen: Ozymandias last year.

    So what’s the new series going to be about? Pak isn’t saying much, but he did tell USA Today that the first meeting between the two heroes will probably not be pleasant:

    “What would your reaction be if you saw a guy running around in a bat costume in the dead of night attacking people for the first time? And what would your reaction be if you met an alien who could crush steel in his bare hands for the first time? These guys are going to have very different immediate impressions of each other than we’re used to seeing with these characters.”

    As for the art, check out Lee’s sketch of Batman, courtesy of DC Comics:

  • This Batman Vs. Bane Fight Might Just Sell You On Injustice: Gods Among Us

    Look, I love Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The Dark Knight Rises was probably my favorite movie of 2012, but Nolan’s “realistic” take on Batman meant that the fights couldn’t be as ridiculous as they sometimes are in the comics. That’s where WB Games and NetherRealm’s new fighter – Injustice: Gods Among Us – comes in.

    WB Games have released two new “trailers” for Injustice today that shows a full fight between some of DC’s best. The first is a matchup between Batman and Bane, and the results are glorious. I don’t want to spoil too much, but let’s just say that the Watchtower is going to need some major repair after all of this.

    Next up is a matchup between Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn. This one is a lot more interesting, mostly due to Quinn’s arsenal of guns and toys. The real highlight of this match, however, is when Quinn is knocked into a separate room of Arkham, and accidentally bumps into one of the prison’s more violent inmates.

    These first two fights are part of a larger series of trailers called “Battle Arena” that will presumably be showing off fights between all the characters thus far confirmed for Injustice. I really hope one of these fights will match up Deathstroke and Cyborg.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us launches on April 16 for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

  • Injustice: Gods Among Us Finally Explains Itself… Kind Of

    Beyond a few hints, we still don’t really know why the DC Universe heroes are fighting each other in NetherRealm’s Injustice: Gods Among Us. The latest trailer doesn’t explain everything, but it gives us a few clues.

    The latest trailer – aptly titled “Story Trailer” – seeks to explain a bit of the background behind the world of Injustice. Joker has apparently destroyed Metropolis, Superman and Wonder Woman are subjecting mankind to an iron fist rule ala Red Son, and Batman seems to be the freedom fighter trying to bring order to the chaos. All in all, your typical alternate world DC plot.

    The trailer also gives us our first look at Hawkgirl, who might be a playable character in the game.

    The trailer indicates that the story will please long time DC fans, but will the gameplay satisfy notoriously picky fighting game fans? The studio’s previous title, Mortal Kombat 9, won over critics and players alike. Injustice will do just fine if it retains the same accessible, yet highly tuned, fighting system that its predecessor sported.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us will launch on April 16 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.

  • Injustice: Gods Among Us Gets Even More Mysterious In Latest Trailer

    Injustice: Gods Among Us, the DC fighter coming from the Mortal Kombat team, is still shrouded in relative secrecy. We don’t know exactly why all these heroes and villains are fighting against each other. Director Ed Boon has dropped a few hints here and there, but it’s mostly still a mystery. A new cinematic trailer doesn’t help matters much.

    The latest trailer for Injustice features notable characters from the DC Universe presumably talking about the events that led up to the game. In particular, Superman laments that he couldn’t save everyone this time. It seems that Lex Luthor is also using the events of the game to rid the world of Superman once and for all.

    Beyond the aforementioned characters, we get another good look at The Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman and The Joker. Other confirmed characters for the title that don’t show up in the trailer include Bane, Catwoman, Cyborg, Deathstroke, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn, Nightwing and Solomon Grundy. It’s going to be interesting to see how the writers at DC and NetherRealm Studios bring all these iconic characters together under one title. This latest trailer suggests that the story will at least be flashy and well narrated, even if it makes no sense in the end.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us will launch on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U on April 16.

  • The Dark Knight Works Well as a Rom-Com

    “Any psychotic ex-boyfriends I should be aware of?”

    “You have no idea.”

    And with that, The Dark Knight as a romantic comedy concept plays out beautifully. One of my favorite YouTube video genres is the re-edited movie trailer, as it proves that with the right cuts and the proper soundtrack, you can make any movie into anything you want it to be – and this one doesn’t disappoint.

    I mean, I’d watch it.

  • Injustice: Gods Among Us Pits Batman Against Superman In April

    One of the big surprises out of E3 this year was WB’s DC fighter – Injustice: Gods Among Us. The fighter, which is being developed by the Mortal Kombat team at NetherRealm, pits the best DC heroes and villains against each other in a brutal fight to the death. WB and NetherRealm are attending Tokyo Game Show this week and decided to show off another trailer.

    If you recall, the last trailer we saw had Batman running over Harley Quinn in the Batmobile. It was pretty hilarious, but it also set up what to expect from the fighter. These are heroes without their powers in check. They can do whatever they want as long as they don’t rip spines out of each other. Unfortunately, DC Comics is pretty strict over how badly Batman can beat up Superman.

    Such restrictions may seem like a bad thing, but Injustice is amazingly brutal. You’d be surprised how much pain each of these heroes inflict upon each other. Just watch the trailer and try not to cringe when Batman’s neck cracks on the pavement.

    It was announced at the show that Injustice will be launching on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U in April of next year. For now, the game is already looking pretty amazing. It will hopefully wash out the bad taste left over from Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The Joker might even get to kill somebody this time.

  • Robocop Remake: Fans Find Robo’s Suit A Little Too Batman-Like

    New set photos from the Robocop remake have emerged, showing off the titular character’s new suit. Fans have obviously taken to Twitter to share their reactions, and from what I’ve seen, they tend to lean toward the negative, or at least skeptical.

    Many are finding a striking similarity to Batman’s suit from the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight films. That may have been fine for Batman, but I don’t get the impression that everybody’s sold on such a look for their favorite crime fighting cyborg.

    Here’s a sampling of what the Twitterverse has to offer on the subject:

    Not everybody thinks Robocop looks like Batman, however:

  • Arkham City Armored Edition Catwoman Revealed

    Today Warner Bros and DC released the first look at the new armored suit that Catwoman will wear in Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition. The suit is part of the Battle Armoured Tech (B.A.T.) mode included with the Wii U version of the game. Batman will also be getting a B.A.T. suit. Warner Bros has stated that the suits will allow players to build “kinetic energy” during combat, and then activate B.A.T. mode to raise their damage output.

    While these B.A.T. suits sound like a nice addition for Nintendo fans who may have missed Arkham City when it was released for other consoles, I can’t help but think there may be another reason for the new look. Catwoman’s new B.A.T. suit covers her entire body, similar to the Catwoman revealed recently for Injustice: Gods Among Us. This summer’s blockbuster, The Dark Knight Rises, also did a thorough job of covering Anne Hathaway’s body , even making her less of an overtly sexual character than Julie Newmar’s Catwoman. In the original version of Arkham City, however, Catwoman has incredibly unrealistic cleavage and wears her suit unzipped practically to her navel. It is possible that with the B.A.T suits Warner Bros and DC are responding to the charges of sexism that were thrown their way when Arkham City was released last fall.

    Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition will be released for the Wii U sometime this winter. It will feature all of the content from the original Arkham City and include all available downloadable content (DLC) for the game. The Wii U GamePad will be used to give players instant access to their Batcomputer to select objectives, choose gadgets, and upgrade their character.

  • Colorado Shooting: Copycat Fears Cause Panic at Theaters

    The shooting which took place at a midnight screening of Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” in Colorado last week was front and center in my mind during my recent screening. Although the movie itself has done nothing wrong, it’s still kind of hard to watch the film without thinking about all of those people who were attempting to enjoy the same thing when James Holmes stormed the theater. My eyes kept wandering towards the emergency exits, my mind surveying the other people in attendance. None of this was done consciously, and I was a little surprised by how much the events affected my overall experience.

    Apparently there’s good reason to keep an eye on your fellow moviegoers during showings of the latest Batman feature. No less than three individuals have been arrested for acting up during the movie, which has understandably caused people to be a little on edge. My biggest fear is that theaters will start patting down patrons on their way in, especially considering how many individuals continue to act a fool while Batman is trying to save Gotham City.

    A drunk and disorderly fellow started causing a commotion during a showing in Sierra Visa, Arizona, forcing over 50 patrons to flee in panic. The Cochise County Sheriff’s office described the public’s reaction to the man’s behavior as “mass hysteria”.

    In Maine, police discovered an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns, ammunition, and several news clippings about the Colorado shooting after pulling Timothy Courtois over for speeding. According to reports, the man was on his way to murder his former boss a day after viewing “The Dark Knight Rises”. My mind is completely boggled by this.

    In Southern California, 52-year-old Clark Tabor became a little agitated when the showing of the latest Batman flick didn’t start on time. “I should go off like in Colorado,” Tabor shouted. “Does anybody have a gun?” Police were immediately called to the scene, though a search of the man’s backpack revealed he wasn’t carrying any firearms.

    Since the film made $160 million over the weekend, it would seem that most individuals are okay with heading out for viewing of “The Dark Knight Rises”. It’s an incredible movie, and I highly recommend it to fans of the franchise. However, don’t be overly alarmed if you find yourself eyeballing the exit doors, as well as your fellow moviegoers. Considering how unstable people seem to be these days, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

  • Petra Anderson Survives Colorado Shooting Thanks to Rare Brain Defect

    Petra Anderson Survives Colorado Shooting Thanks to Rare Brain Defect

    Petra Anderson was like everyone else at the midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colorado: She just wanted to see the latest Batman movie. What nobody anticipated was that masked gunman James Holmes would burst into the theater shortly into the feature and begin shooting people at random. One of his many victims was 22-year-old Petra Anderson, a recent graduate of University of the Pacific’s Stockton Campus who planned to pursue her master’s degree at the University of Maryland this fall. Sadly, her dreams were put on hold after being shot four times by the lunatic, one of which hit her in the head.

    However, as tragic as her story may be, there is a bit of a silver lining. According to doctors, Anderson suffers from a rare brain defect which ultimately saved her life. Petra’s pastor, Brad Strait, explained that the girl’s condition created a small river of fluid which runs from the front of her brain to the back. When the shotgun pellet found its way into her skull, it connected with this liquid, allowing it completely bypass her brain matter.

    “The shotgun buck shot, maybe even the size used for deer hunting, enters her brain from the exact point of this defect,” Pastor Strait explained in a recent blog post. “Like a marble through a small tube, the defect channels the bullet from Petra’s nose through her brain. It turns slightly several times, and comes to rest at the rear of her brain. And in the process, the bullet misses all the vital areas of the brain.”

    Although the bullet remains lodged inside Anderson’s cranium, doctors anticipate that she will make a complete recovery. Sadly, the medical bills for Petra’s treatment and surgery, as well as the expenses associated with her mother’s breast cancer, have taken a financial toll on the family. An Indiegogo account has been set up to help the family weather this very stressful and unfortunate storm. Check out the video for #readytobelieve4petra below.

    Everyone at WebProNews wishes Petra Anderson and her mother a speedy recovery.

  • Second Person of Interest Investigated by Colorado Police

    A second person of interest is currently being investigated by Colorado police. Although details about the individual and his involvement in last week’s deadly shooting have not been officially released, witnesses have reported seeing SWAT personnel and police officers at this mysterious person’s place of residence.

    According to FOX 31 Denver, sources told one of their reporters that a second “person of interest” was being investigated by Colorado authorities. However, officials have recently stated this is not the case. “An associate of Holmes was interviewed this evening (Saturday),” explained spokeswoman Sgt. Cassidee Carlson. “There is no reason to believe that he is involved. Further details of this investigation will not be released at this time.”

    KDVR reports that someone using this second person of interest’s phone sent threatening messages to Colorado police, stating that more violence would ensue if suspect James Holmes was not released from jail. The person, who allegedly has a master’s degree in bio-medical science, is rumored to have attended the same collegiate program as Holmes. Beyond this, details have been very sketchy at-best.

    Additionally, police have completed their search of the college campus, though they have not made their findings public as of this writing. And while speculation about this second individual’s role in the shooting continues, police have not yet arrested him in connection with anything related to the case.

  • Dark Knight Rises Brings in an Estimated $160 Million in Ticket Sales

    “Dark Knight Rises”, the last installment of director Christopher Nolan’s epic big-budget trilogy, reportedly enjoyed more than $160 million in ticket sales over the weekend. As a result, the film is now considered to have the third highest-grossing debut ever, falling behind Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers” and the last entry in the “Harry Potter” series. What’s particularly cool about this feat is that it was accomplished without the assistance of 3D ticket prices, proving once again that movie-goers don’t need expensive gimmicks to get them into theaters.

    The previous entry in the series, 2008’s “The Dark Knight”, opened with $158 million in domestic ticket sales, which helped it to become one of the few films in existence to cross the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. “Batman Begins”, meanwhile, opened with almost $50 million when it arrived in theaters back in 2005.

    Of course, the $160 million is considered an estimate, since Warner Bros. and other major Hollywood studios have not yet released box office figures in consideration of last week’s shooting in Aurora, Colorado. According to the Los Angeles Times, these numbers come from anonymous industry insiders, and should not be considered fact until the company has confirmed the results. That being said, I’m sure the number isn’t too far off the mark.

    Despite the tragedy at the midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises”, people still turned out in droves to check out the flick. Kristina Hershey, manager of Entertainment Cinema in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, said attendance has been surprisingly brisk. “We’ve had a handful of customers ask if we’re checking the emergency doors,” she explained. “I don’t think it’s hindering a lot of people here from going to the movies.”

    Overseas, business has been good, as well. The film enjoyed $80 million in ticket sales from 17 foreign markets, including the United Kingdom, Spain, and Australia. Next week, the movie will expand to 57 different territories, though Italy and China will have to wait a little longer for their opportunity to screen Batman’s latest adventure.

    Paul Glantz, the chairman of Emagine Entertainment, seemed to think that most customers believe the Colorado shooting to be an isolated incident. “I think there was a perception among our guests that they weren’t going to allow the horrific act of one deranged individual stop them from living their lives.”

  • Colorado Shooting: Movie Industry Responds, 911 Calls Released

    Colorado shooting: As police continue to investigate the tragedy that took place at a Colorado movie theater during a midnight screening of Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises”, the movie industry has begun issuing statements regarding the incident. Additionally, officials have released the 911 calls, which, I might add, are not for those with weak stomachs. Hearing the panic and fear in these callers’ voices is nothing short of heart-wrenching.

    Warner Bros., the studio who bankrolled and released latest Batman endeavor, has issued a statement regarding the shooting. “Warner Bros. and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident,” the company wrote. “We extend our prayers and deepest sympathies to the victims, their loved ones and those affected by this tragedy.”

    Dan Fellman, head of distribution for the studio, said, “Everybody is very saddened by the event. We were obviously looking for a very happy occasion for us. It’s a difficult way to begin. We’re just more concerned now with the well-being of those that were injured, of course.”

    Neither Christopher Nolan nor the film’s stars have been reached for comment. However, I suspect that some sort of joint statement will be issued before too long.

    Cinemark, the company which owns the theater where the shooting took place, said, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and loved ones, our employees, and the Aurora community. We are grateful for the quick and professional reaction of all local law enforcement and emergency responders. Cinemark is working closely with the Aurora Police Department and local law enforcement.”

    The killing spree perpetrated by suspect James Holmes has shocked the entire nation; even those with no personal ties to the incident have felt the emotional impact of this impossibly unfortunate scenario. All these peopled wanted to do was sit down and watch a movie, an event that is usually associated with happiness. That’s something we can all relate to, I think.

    If you’re curious to hear some snippets from the 911 calls, the video is embedded below. Again, WebProNews offers its condolences to the victims and their families.
