A Fox news affiliate in Kansas City reported that police were upset about a recent "publicity stunt" at the opening of Iron Man 3 in a movie theater in Jefferson City.  The stunt seemed to involve a person in an Iron Man costume fending off several intruders brandishing fake weapons.  Jeff City's police captain Doug Shoemaker told WDAF television that the idea of gunmen dressed in all black walking into a movie theater was clearly inappropriate given the recent movie theater shootings in Aurora, ColoradoThe story has been picked up byGawkerand a local ABC affiliate
