"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=\"James Holmes\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/07/20/0720-james-holmes-3.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Colorado movie theater shooter&lt;strong&gt; James Holmes&lt;/strong&gt; was sporting red hair and told people he was \"The Joker\" when he was apprehended by police Friday morning ... this according to NYC Police&amp;#160;Commissioner&amp;#160;Ray Kelly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a news conference this afternoon, Kelly said, \"We have some information, most of it is public. It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He had his hair painted red, he said he was &amp;#8216;The Joker,&amp;#8217; obviously the enemy of Batman.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://twitter.com/ABC/status/226365875245178880\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABC News&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is reporting Holmes made the Joker remark to police, not during the shooting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's likely Kelly obtained the information from Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates -- according to reports, the two are good friends. In fact, Oates was a member of the NYPD for 21 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holmes may have been trying to recreate a scene from the 2008 movie, \"The Dark Knight\" ... which features a scene where The Joker, played by Heath Ledger, wears a red wig while destroying a hospital. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/pfmkRi_tr9c\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
