The defendant in the Colorado movie theater shooting had the day of the attack marked ‘with a unique symbol’ on a calendar, a Batman mask and a violent drawing in his apartment, according to testimony Wednesday.
The discoveries were revealed during a pre-trial hearing on whether evidence seized from the apartment after the shooting can be introduced at James Holmes’ trial.
There was no testimony regarding the significance of the items. The Dark Knight Rises, the most recent Batman movie, was showing as 12 people were killed and 70 others were wounded in the July 2012 massacre.

HONKA, FRITZ: Killers: Behind the Myth TV - Criminal Motives online - World’s Most Evil Killers TV -
Hamburg, Germany, the mid-70s: over the last five years four women have gone missing from the Red Light District. Killers: Behind the Myth s1e4: Fritz Honka, BBC 2013

A man well known to the authorities. ibid.

Fritz Honka (1935 – 19 October 1998) was a German serial killer. Between 1970 and 1975 he killed at least four prostitutes from Hamburg’s red light district, keeping the bodies in his flat.
At five foot five, Fritz Honka was extremely sensitive about his height. He liked his women shorter, and he also liked them toothless, to alleviate his fears of mutilation during oral sex. He found relief with aging prostitutes from Hamburg’s red light district, killing at least four of them in his small attic room in the Zeißstraße 74 of Ottensen, Hamburg. Disposal was a problem, given Honka’s size and basic laziness. He kept the bodies in his flat, and fortified himself with alcohol against the stench. When neighbours griped about unpleasant smells, he doused the place with quarts of cheap deodorant.
On July 15th, 1975, the mummified remains were found by firemen after a fire in the house. Honka was not present, being on shift as a night watchman, and was arrested when he returned home. In custody, Honka said he killed the women after they mocked his preference for oral sex over ‘straight’ intercourse. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, the maximum possible under German law.
Fritz Honka was released from prison in 1993 and spent his last years under the name of Peter Jensen in an old people’s home. He died in hospital in Langenhorn, Hamburg on 19 October 1998.
German director Andreas Schnaas has said that his Violent Shit series is very loosely based on the exploits of Fritz Honka. Criminal Motives online article
