I have to laugh at stuff like this. Let’s just hope that this doesn’t turn into some twisted trend. The movie had some pretty violent themes in it, and hopefully no one takes it to that level. –Head Jundi

Spencer Taylor of Three Rivers, dressed as the “Joker” after his arrest for attempting to steal movie memorabilia.”The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules!” stated the Joker from this summer’s blockbuster, ‘The Dark Knight,’ and apparently at least one person in the audience took this to heart. Spencer Taylor, dressed in full Joker regalia, stumbled down his path of anarchy.
July 28, 2008: Kalamazoo Gazette: An overzealous Joker fan was taken into custody Sunday morning after attempting to steal movie posters and other items, police said.
Spencer Taylor, 20, of Three Rivers, was arrested on felony larceny and malicious destruction of property charges after trying to steal memorabilia of the new Batman movie “The Dark Knight” at the Three Rivers 6 theater.
