James Holmes, the man accused of going on a deadly shooting spree inside a Colorado movie theater last week during a midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises,” wants to know how the movie played out.

Did you see the movie?” a creepy-sounding Holmes asked a stunned jail worker during a bizarre exchange Tuesday.

“How does it end?”

Holmes, his eyes glazed and his voice flat, repeated the question when the worker ignored him, according to another jail employee who witnessed the incident in the infirmary.

Holmes, a 24-year-old ex-honor student, “was trying to look like he was sincerely curious,” the witness recounted to the Daily News.

“Like he had no idea why there was anything wrong with what he was saying. It was sick ... I think he’s trying real hard to act crazy.”

Holmes bought a ticket to the movie and watched the first half-hour before allegedly slipping outside to his car — and returning in full body armor to open fire on the unsuspecting moviegoers.

That's extremely f*cked up.

In better news, Christian Bale yesterday made a surprise visit to those injured in the shooting.
