Across the country, comic book fans are expected to flock to movie theaters this weekend to see the new film, ‘Joker’. The movie depicts the origins of one of Batman’s most famed villains, The Joker. While many are excited to see the movie, there has been nationwide concern that the film may incite violence.
Dozens of people purchased tickets to see one of the first screenings at the AMC theater in Pineville Thursday night. A young man who spoke to WBTV after seeing the film had rave reviews.
“It was haunting. It was really, really good,” said the man.
However, he admitted he was concerned about safety after learning of potential threats surrounding the movie.
“I was a little shaken going in there and I was a little cautious and in the theater I was like where can we get out or where can we go if something did happen,” said the man.
