Speaking of inhuman monsters that come out of darkness, the despicable murderer who killed at least 12 people early this morning at a showing of The Dark Knight Rises seems to qualify. My hunch is that James Holmes is "criminally insane", but we'll see.

A senseless, brutal act possibly carried out by a narcissistic and cold-blooded maniac. Thankfully, the police have got him behind bars. Psychotic killers tend not to break out quite as often in real life as you might see in Gotham's Arkham Asylum.
