Accused ‘Dark Knight’ shooter’s fright gallery

AURORA, Colo. — Accused “Dark Knight” mass murderer James Holmes took pictures on his iPhone to chronicle his preparations for the Colorado movie massacre, even mugging for the camera in an almost devil-like pose before the shooting, prosecutors revealed yesterday.

The twisted photos were shown to a packed courtroom on the third and last day of the preliminary hearing for the suspected Aurora theater shooter.

The images included photos of the Century 16 theater and pictures of Holmes’ apartment featuring a cache of guns, ammo and explosives allegedly used in the July 20 midnight rampage, which killed 12 and wounded 58. A judge will rule tomorrow whether Holmes will stand trial.
