Maybe, we’ll see. A comic book is one thing, but the level of preparation Holmes put into this is something else entirely. He didn’t just read a graphic novel, grab a gun, and run to a theater.

A big bomb intended to take out a lot of people, followed right away by a shooting attack with military-style equipment, in a crowded place difficult to escape from. These descriptions fit the attack in Norway and the attack in Aurora.

If he wasn’t influenced by Breivik at all, so be it; but there’s no denying an eerie similarity in these events.
