Have you heard the one about the latest Batman movie foretelling the shooting at the Sandy Hook school? The story has been floating around for at least two weeks now and i’ve been addressing the issue on a number of forums, so i thought i would bring the issue here to iLLumiNuTTi.com.
From our favorite morons over at infowars.com:
Bizarre evidence that the Sandy Hook massacre in Connecticut may have been staged has surfaced in the form of YouTube videos which point out the words “Sandy Hook” were written on a map that appeared in the most recent Dark Knight movie, a startling revelation given the deluge of mysterious coincidences already plaguing the movie.
According to numerous YouTube videos, a scene appears in which Commissioner Gordon points at a Gotham City map and confusingly, directly to the words “Sandy Hook.”
Here is a still shot from the movie The Dark Knight with an explanation below:

The top photo is a still shot from the movie showing the map of Gotham City. Allegedly (i’m not motivated enough to personally verify this ridiculousness) at 1:58:41 into the movie Commissioner Gordon sets his hand down on the map of Gotham City (lower left) on a location called Sandy Hook (lower right) and says, “To mark the truck. Get a GPS on it so we can start to figure out how to bring it down.” Also notice the words “strike zone” are written on the map (lower right). Shiver me timbers.
According to conspiracists, this can only mean one thing: It’s obvious the Sandy Hook shootings were foreseen by the filmmakers behind “The Dark Knight Rises“!!!!
Again from InfoWars.com:
“As more of these ‘strange coincidences’ continue to pop up, it would take a fool not to question the motive behind it all: Is this all part of an evil pre-conditioning program?”
“This definitely begins to tread into Satanic and occult territory, the purpose of which is known to only a select few in tight-knit circles at the very top branches of various secret societies.”
Yes, “evil pre-conditioning programming,” “Satanic and occult territories” and “the very top branches of various secret societies.” Are you scared yet? You shouldn’t be.
According to Batman co-creator Bill Finger, Gotham City is based on New York City:
«Writer Bill Finger, uncredited co-creator, with Bob Kane, of the DC Comics character Batman, on the naming of (Gotham) city and the reason for changing Batman’s locale from New York City to a fictional city said, “Originally I was going to call Gotham City ‘Civic City.’ Then I tried ‘Capital City,’ then ‘Coast City.’ Then I flipped through the New York City phone book and spotted the name ‘Gotham Jewelers’ and said, ‘That’s it,’ Gotham City. We didn’t call it New York because we wanted anybody in any city to identify with it.”
“Gotham” had long been a well-known nickname for New York City even prior to Batman’s 1939 introduction, which explains why “Gotham Jewelers” and many other businesses in New York City have the word “Gotham” in them. The nickname was popularized in the nineteenth century, having been first attached to New York by Washington Irving in the November 11, 1807 edition of his Salmagundi.»[1][2]
Look at a map of New York, there are A LOT of places in and around NY called Sandy Hook – most notably Sandy Hook Bay (only a stones throw away in NJ) and the 10-plus locations surrounding Sandy Hook Bay with “Sandy Hook” in the name.

Gotham City is based on the city of New York. New York is surrounded by many locales with the name Sandy Hook. Why do conspiracists ignore this obvious connection between the map of Gotham and the name Sandy Hook?
Conspiracists engage in confirmation bias to maintain their world of delusions.

Delusion is believing either of these “shooting” stories actually took place. Nobody has died in any “mass” shooting, that is shown on tv and conpiracy sites put on a perpetual loop of brainwashing, ever. People need to shut off their tv’s, and the internet if they believe any of the fake reality they’re fed as real “news”.
I bet you won’t allow this comment either. As usual, a shill site with 5% truth, the rest is garbage.
I don’t have a problem posting your comment. Nobody does a better job of making conspiracists look like fools than the conspiracists themselves. Thank you.
Agreed!!!
What are the mathematical odds of sandy hook appearing on that map, not only of every other name but any fictional name they want like gotham, that’s so close to impossible its astonishing
If only tinfoil hats meant thoughts couldn’t get *out*.
LOL!
Interesting site, but you’re not that smart ;0), we r growing in numbers by what we believe, after all that we have seen and been told, and they (our beliefs), are very much so becoming stronger and are thusfore becoming a reality to fear, bc reality has summoned our beliefs… you can say anything at this point, “they sky is blue”, but, if i believe it is red, then, by God, it “is” red. Good luck with your persuasion and influence… Religously, it truely means rat terds… but i will be dropping by from time to time!
I couldn’t have said it better myself
so confident and at peace i sense…. and strikingly aware….

I think motivition to look at facts is a problem and one reason why this country is whacky.
The reason it’s named on the map is most likely beause the property master who worked on the film (think…props) was from Newtown CT. He died recently in a car accident.
yeah that just makes it more crazy he died and was reported to be in stable condition after the accident. http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Newtown-man-dies-in-Stamford-accident-3465225.php also when I was in college an ex CIA director of operations made many statements about movies relaying political messages. He specifically talked about red dawn made in the 80′s where we were invaded by nicaragua who most people never heard off then a few months later we were at war with them. Oddly Red Dawn has been redone with North Korea being the enemy so let’s see what news we hear about North Korea in the near future now that Kim Jong Ill died.

People do this because they’re programmed to seek meaning in confusing or unrelated events. We do it when we look at random clouds and see bunny rabbits. Our brains just can’t deal with something that doesn’t make sense. Unfortunately, paranoia fed by sensationalist media creeps in, and some people take it to the extreme.
Add that most people are so conditioned to simply take what they’re fed in small digital bites without any real fact-checking, and you get ridiculous stuff like this.
I think there’s probably a lot we don’t know by necessity (i.e. classified defense plans and the like), or simply because we don’t need to. But I doubt very much Hollyweird is in on any of it.
I forget who made the analogy (it was probably Michael Shermer) who said our brain has a built-in balance scale where we weigh cause and effect. If the effect seems to heavily outweigh the cause, the brain wants to ad weight to the cause in an attempt to balance out the scale.
The JFK assassination is a good example. JFK was charismatic, larger than life, an icon, Camelot. He was murdered by a nobody using a $12.78 rifle ordered through the mail ($21.45 with the scope and postage). For some people this put the cause-effect scale out of balance, they needed to add some weight to the cause side of the scale. Presto! We get a heavy conspiracy theory. Something big enough to put the scale back in balance.
9/11: 19 men with box cutters caused such an extreme amount of devastation it threw people’s cause-effect scale completely out of whack. Their minds simply rejected reality, they said, “19 men could not have caused so much devastation” – it just didn’t add up for them – and so conspiracies were created to balance the scale and explain the effect.
And so, in the mind of a conspiracist, the bigger the effect, the bigger the cause (the conspiracy) must be.

The JFK case is very interesting
“The more outre and grotesque an incident is, the more carefully it deserves to be examined.”
“It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.”
“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable”
“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.”
“You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles.”
“When once your point of view is changed, the very thing which was so damning becomes a clue to the truth.”
“What is out of the common is usually a guide rather than a hindrance.”
“We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.”
“Presume nothing.”
