With all the recent train-based violence, broadcasting a movie with a pivotal train murder scene was already dicey, but a person actually dressed as the Joker seemed to be the final nail in the coffin. On Aug 6, there was a multiple stabbing on a train in Tokyo. The source singles out the scene in which Phoenix’s character murders three people on a train as the reason. In addition to the Halloween attack, there has been a series of recent incidents on trains in Japan including an arson attempt on a shinkansen line on Nov 8 and an assault on another shinkansen line on Nov 9.
