Police found a Batman mask in the apartment of the Colorado movie theater shooter who killed 12 during a screening of the newest Batman movie last year, according to testimony Wednesday.

FBI agent Leslie Kopper said in a pretrial hearing that police also found a calendar in James Holmes’ apartment marked with a “unique symbol” on the day of the attack, though she did not elaborate on the symbol in the calendar, the Associated Press reports. Aurora, Colo. police Detective Thomas Wilson separately said he found a violent drawing of “some kind of maze involving a serial killer” in a spiral notebook inside a backpack in the apartment.

Holmes’ has admitted being the gunman in the July 2012 attack at a showing of The Dark Knight Rises, in which he killed 12 and wounded 70 others, but he has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
