Has anyone confirmed the "Joker" admission aside from that one cop in New York?

That's the only place I've seen it referenced, and occasionally speculated that he was told this by a cop in Colorado. But has anyone in Colorado confirmed it?

You'd think he would dye his hair green in that case

I'm with you, though... the Joker always had green hair, imho.

I remain unconvinced that the dyed red hair has any connection

Except for a one minute or so scene in TDK. If he was going for a Joker look, you'd think he'd have dyed his hair green.

lots of weapons unnoticed. I have read a half dozen or dozen articles on this tragedy and I still have not heard this question answered.

then went out an exit door to his car, where he suited up, grabbed his guns etc, and went back in through the propped-open exit door.

propped the door open, donned his kevlar, picked up his weapons and came back in.

This from multiple witnesses and the police statements.

11. Thanks Ruby the Liberal. I was hoping no theater employee would be so asleep as not to alert

Ajar and put his gear on outside of the door and came back in. Another reason to put alarms on those doors while movie is showing.
