   As Jeff and I were coming out of seeing Spiderman tonight, we passed the crowd lined up for the Batman premier.  I've never gone to a midnight showing of a new movie, and am not a devoted follower of these kinds of movies, so I had never seen something like this.  Many people were in costumes, special t-shirts they had made, one guy was wearing a cape.  It's a whole different world to me. 
  Interestingly enough, there were police officers keeping the peace at our theater.  Jeff and I wondered on the way home about how common it was to have police at premiers like this.  The next day I heard what happened in Colorado.  I imagine it will be much more common now.
