There is no concrete knowledge as to why James Holmes spawned a murderous frenzy; moreover, modern detective work has not luminously enlightened the American People as to what truly happened. Nevertheless, I have come to a solid conclusion about his delusional behavior; specifically, Mr. James Holmes was a quasi-intellectual, being not only a scholar, but also wielding the weirdness of being a Super Hero or Villain fan. And that's what I think this was all about.
If you look at shows like The Big Bang Theory you witness an affection for fantasy. Verily, nerd-types are EVERLOST within the fake realm of role-playing games and comic books. Truly, they want to shake off their awkward physiology, and reveal that big "S" underneath their clothing. But maybe James Holmes didn't want to be Batman or Superman--maybe he had a more diabolical infatuation. He wanted to be the Joker. He wanted to bring madness and mayhem to the place of Colorado, just as had the Joker wanted to torture and destroy the inhabitants of Gotham. Holmes wanted to live out his nefarious fantasy, going down in American History as a genuine goblin--a real live Super Villain. And I don't believe he wanted to have a sincere, suicidal-like culmination to his cruel killing spree; alas, he surrendered, I believe, after that terrible incident within the confines of that now historical movie theater. That's the reason for the explosives in his apartment as well as the numerous amounts of left over ammo. He wanted to further the violence, letting it resonate terribly until the State of Colorado was on their innocent knees, begging him for the elation of mercy; however, Holmes was not a fighter. More like a coward, submitting to the police without a firefight, losing his macho coolness, displaying for all of us that he didn't have the internal steel to be a true villain; indeed, Holmes could not be the villain he wanted to, transforming back into a dreamer, such as if a pulsating poltroon, though dreamy in intent. But this is all just my perspective. I totally believe him to have been fixated upon being a true villain, to impress girls, loser types, and most of all, himself.
May we all lower our heads, invoking our God or gods, and send love and sublimity to those innocent lambs who wanted nothing more, but to just enjoy an evening in this God-Blessed America.
