University City authorities arrested a 48-year-old man dressed as Batman villian The Joker after he shared plans on killing random people in a live-stream on Facebook.

Missouri resident Jeremy Garnier was charged with felony first-degree for making a terrorist threat on Tuesday. He was held without bail after a judge ruled him a 'danger to the community.'

Court records did not list an attorney. 

The charging documents do not indicate if he had any explosives or ammunition. 

Law enforcement officers drove to the Blueberry Hill restaurant and music club after receiving a call about an active shooter. 

Garnier posted an hourlong Livestream where he was seen dressing up as the Batman villain. He's later seen driving to a shopping mall in Richmond Heights where he was stopped and asked to leave.

He was seen getting questioned and handcuffed by the authorities during the Livestream.

Doing It For Attention

In the video, Jeremy admitted he was doing the stunt for attention and says he is seeking to 'take over the world.' 

Garnier said he will 'start killing people' until he reaches a thousand viewers. He then shared his plans to go out in public to kill more once he reaches his target views. 

"We're not going to go to any movie theaters. We're going to go totally unarmed because we don't want to alert the authorities into thinking we might be on an actual rampage."

He later tells a bartender not to give him alcohol as he plans to kill "a bunch of people" that night. 

The 48-year-old self-proclaimed performance artist also said he was just trying to raise awareness about the opioid crisis.

Garnier's supporters rallied behind the man saying he was only playing a role and never planned on harming anyone. His Livestream, which has been viewed more than 55,000 times, was flooded with comments urging local authorities to free the 'artist.'

Jeremy Garnier previously had multiple convictions for burglary as well as a 2000 conviction for robbing a credit union. He was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for the latter.

Garnier's Joker imagery reminded people of the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado which killed 12 people in July 2012.

Holmes attended a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" at the Century aurora 16 Multiplex Theater on July 19. 

Authorities said he threw two tear gas canisters into the theater shortly after midnight. He began firing at the ceiling and then the crowd after the canisters exploded. 

Local police say Holmes was armed with an AR-15 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a .40-caliber handgun---all of which he bought from two sporting goods stores.

Holmes, who was dressed in protective gear, surrendered to the authorities after the massacre. 

Law enforcement agents discovered and disarmed 30 homemade grenades and 10 gallons of gasoline in the suspect's home.

James Holmes was arrested for the murder of the 12 victims. He was also responsible for wounding 70 more. 

He was charged with 165 counts for first-degree murder, attempted murder, and possession of an explosive.

James Holmes is serving a life sentence in prison.
