Warner Bros has released a statement on the controversy regarding ‘JOKER’:

“Neither the fictional character, nor the film, is an endorsement of real-world violence of any kind. It is not the intention of the film, filmmakers or the studio to hold this character up as a hero.” pic.twitter.com/LBEYZvv3jI

isn't the families of the victims of the Aurora shooting's main complaint is that WB puts money into the NRA? if that's the case they should make that a priority if they're so concerned with better gun control laws.

True and most producers of WB films are MAGA old men... So this is just damage control, I doubt they care about any of this.

It is and I feel like a lot of people are intentionally being obtuse about what the concerns actually are.

They did. They asked the studio end contributions to candidates who support the NRA and who vote against gun reform. They didn't ask the studio to pull the movie or for anyone to boycott it, they just requested that Warner Bros to use their platform to lobby for gun reform.
