IMO this Aurora massacre was probably inspired by the norwegian massmurderer/terrorist Anders Behring Breivik.
And I see it as the same type of terrorist attack as Anders Behring Breivik commited.
James Holmes's aganda was probably not the same as Anders Behring Breivik's, however it is as if JH used Breivik's deeds as a recipe for his own horrible deed.
There are SO many similarities:
Both targeted a location with potential young people-victims.
Both choose to kill as many people as possible.
Both had parallel second crime scen/location involving bomb/bombs.
Both used timer mechanisms
ABB: for the car bomb in Oslo city
JH: to stop the techno music playing in his apartment at precisley 1AM.
Both used several simelar weapons, example; both had 2 Glocks each.
Both pretened to be somthing they were not:
ABB: a policeman
JH: a moviegoer
Both used more than one outfits throughout their crime.
Both wore bullitsafe west and helmets.
Both wore a specific black outfit:
ABB: Black ballistic outfits.
JH: Black police outfits
Both had a fantasy identity:
ABB: belive he is "knight Justiciar grand master" of a Templarorganisation
JH: The Joker (villain in the Batman saga).
Both used Hyundai cars, different types but both Hyundai brands,
ABB: possibly grey
JH: white .
Both took drugs in the hours before the attack.
ABB: steroid ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin before his rampage
JH : reports that JH had taken 100mg of Vicodin about two and half hours before the shooting.
Some have stated that it in fact was 100 mg of hydrocodone, the actual narcotic in Vicodin. Time will tell I guess.
Both used music as a part of their crimes.
Both used long time planing the crimes.
Both highly intelligent.
Both was "under the radar", neither had criminal records.
Both surrended calmly, willingly.
Both massacre commited in July:
ABB: Jul 22, 2011
JH: Jul 20, 2012,
JH: massacre was 2 days short of ABB's 1 year anniversery.
Both had high numbers of victims:
ABB: victims all together 102, 77 died, 25 wounded
JH: victims all together 71, 12 died, 59 wounded.
However JH probably inteded to kill many more but his amo round jamed, which saved lots of lives.
Additinal info of interest concerning this theorie:

Breivik had referred to other “cells” outside Norway that were ready to follow his example.
“He says there are two cells in Norway and others from the Western world,” Mr Lippestad said at a press conference in Oslo.
It's going to be interesting to know what JH's motive/inspiration was.
Personaly I do belive that, one way or the other, some kind of manifesto/explanation from James Holmes, will appear soon.
It might even already be out there somwere, its possible that it has just not been found yet...time will tell I hope...
