Aurora Update: Superman Killer

The killer called himself "Sun."

The second gunman to cause multiple fatalies in Aurora, Colorado in seven months has been identified by neighbors as 33-year-old Sonny Archuleta. Aurora is also the location of the The Dark Knight Rises shootings on July 20, 2012.

The surname Archuleta is a family name which was originated in the Basque Country of Spain. Archuleta is of Castillian derivation of Basque Aretxuloeta, which ultimately comes from the place name Arechavaleta (Basque: Aretxabaleta). The placename uses the Basque words "(h)aritz" (oak tree), "zabal" (wide) and "eta" (indicating plurality), with the combined meaning of "wide place where oak trees grow." 

The surname Archuleta as shown in the Diccionârio Onomastico y Heraldico Vasco (Basque heraldry dictionary) means oak grove.

Thus one way to interpret his name is as "sunny oak grove." (It will be recalled that Wade Michael Page, a man with many tattoos, including one of 9/11, killed six at a Sikh gurdwara on Sunday, August 5, 2012, in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.)

Man of Steel is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Zack Snyder, produced by Christopher Nolan (the director of the Dark Knight films) and scripted by David S. Goyer. It opens June 14th. Flag Day. Should we be worried?

Please note that in back of Archuleta are photographs of the skyline and the Flatiron Building of New York City. New York City is the model for Gotham City in the Dark Knight/Batman mythos, and for Metropolis in the Superman stories.

Aferrismoon notes that "Aurora police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson spoke to the press at this incident, and also attended the search of James Holmes flat back in July."

Sonny Archuleta's victims have been identified as Archuleta’s sister-in-law, Stacie Philbrook and her boyfriend, Chris Ratliffe; and Archuleta’s father-in-law, Anthony Ticali.
On September 5, 2012, Archuleta tweeted about the murder of his brother, Pat, who was shot and killed at a local restaurant in Denver on September 3, 2012.

It is mind-blowing that the alleged gunman in the first high profile mass shooting in Aurora Colorado since the Batman shooting resonates strongly with another DC Comics hero: Superman. In addition to having the Superman symbol tattooed on his chest, Archuleta used the name "The 5uper" on his Myspace page (where he posted the result of his "Which Superhero am I" quiz: "You are Superman.") According to his Twitter, he was "working and spreading the Word" at the fortreSS of Sol!tude Upper Art Stud!o.

I am guessing, given Archuleta's obvious fascination with Superman, that the tattoo on his upper arm (which I at first thought might be a poorly executed depiction of Elvis) is the face of Superman. The heavily cratered planet, with what appears to be a rocket taking off from its surface, is likely Superman's home planet Krypton, from which the infant Superman escaped in a spaceship.
Solar syncs abound in this case. Superman gets his super powers from earth's sun, and the name Sonny (Sunny) resonates with this. The shooting took place at 16005 Ithaca Place. Homer described Ithaca in the Odyssey:

“Many islandslie around it, very close to each other,Doulichion, Same, and wooded Zacynthos--but low-lying Ithaca is farthest out to sea,towards the sunset, and the others are apart, towards the dawn and sun.”

Of course, the appearance of sunlight is reflected in the name of the city – Aurora means dawn. A photo behind Archuleta shows a city (New York, I believe) experiencing a red sunset or a red dawn.
An anagram provides synchromystic confirmation of the solar connection. The letters in the name “Sonny S. Archuleta” can be rearranged into the phrase “Unearth a Sol sync.”
