Sandy Hook on Gotham City Map – Plausible Explanation

In relation to the Sandy Hook reference in the latest Batman movie, I wrote:

“The only plausible explanation I can come up with right now to explain this, is that, somehow, someone involved in the production of the movie decided to use the name Sandy Hook because it is the real name of an area close to NYC and Gotham is supposed to be a fictional version of NYC. But it would be useful if someone from the production of the Batman movie could come forward and offer some explanation for what, right now,  seems to be a very bizarre coincidence.”

No one has come forward, but there is now a plausible explanation for why the name Sandy Hook was used on the map of Gotham city.

Scott Getzinger died in a car crash on April 7th 2012. Mr. Getzinger, who was born in Bradford CT. but lived in Newtown CT., worked as a property master in the film and television industry, providing props for more than 25 movies, including “Spider-Man,” “Independence Day,” “The Truman Show” and the upcoming “Men in Black III” and “The Dark Knight Rises.” A property master on a movie is responsible for the props, and it seems possible that given that Mr. Getzinger lived near Sandy Hook CT. he might have been responsible for choosing that name for a location on the Gotham City map in the Batman movie.

FBI and DHS Warned in May of Terrorists Planning to Attack Movie Theaters

The Century 16 movie theater early on Friday morning, July 20, 2012. A 24-year-old man gave himself up to police after telling them he “possibly” had explosives in his home.

Claiming 70 victims, 12 confirmed dead and 58 injured, the mass shooting Friday at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, about 10 miles from Denver, is the worst mass shooting in US history. Cinema goers were 30 minutes into a sold-out midnight screening of the newly-released third installment of the Dark Knight Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, when someone described by witnesses as dressed “entirely in black” in full SWAT/riot gear – including gas mask, ballistic helmet, bullet-proof vest, bullet-proof leggings, throat and groin protection, and black tactical gloves – entered an emergency side exit of the theater.

After releasing cannisters of tear gas into the packed movie theater, he proceeded to calmly shoot members of the audience, picking off anyone who tried to escape along the aisles. Most of the movie-goers were between 15 and 25 years of age. When the gunman decided he was done, he exited the way he came, downed his weapon and gave himself up to police. A law enforcement source told CBS News the suspect was well-equipped, with one rifle, two handguns and a knife. There were also unidentified explosives found in his vehicle. He also informed them about “possible” explosives in his apartment. When Aurora police showed up at the University of Colorado medical campus address, they found his apartment rigged with trip wires, thousands of rounds of ammunition, jars full of highly flammable liquid that would explode on mixing and 30 improvised grenades. Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said “I personally have never seen anything like what the pictures show us is in there.”

There’s more to this story than meets the eye, however. Read more »
