LA Times:
Christian Bale, star of the Batman trilogy of movies, paid a surprise visit Tuesday to injured victims of the recent shooting rampage in Aurora, Colo. The shooting occurred during a midnight screening of the latest Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises.”
Twelve people were killed and 58 were injured in the attack early Friday; a suspect was arrested in a nearby parking lot afterward.

Christian Bale took on the role of Batman for three motion picture releases, however it seems the actor wasn't pleased with his performance.
That was a wonderful thing that he did. I know that they appreciated it because he didn't make an issue of it...he just showed up.
What annoys me is how these SHOOTINGS come as a surprise for many Americans, knowing full well their flawed GUN LAWS which inevitably contribute to such violent crimes. Yet, the government don't seem to address it as a major concern.
It boggles my mind in the simplicity of how this shooter purchased such armor and weaponry. Yet all people can do is dwell on the pain and sorrow, with less effort in making those acts for change. There seems to be NO lesson learned.
i thought this was rather neat, he did it on his own and wasn't "invited" or "told" to do it, he just did it. And judging by the pictures he didn't exactly go to pose for the media either.
What a class act. Kind of makes up for the whole Terminator Salvation controversy from a few years ago...
So nice of him to do that.
But I'm a little bit confused though:
Warner Brothers have said he's not there to promote the film at all.... but in the end, he sort of is. He's going to see victims of the "batman shootings", so by that logic, sending the very guy who plays him will attract attention in the news, thus promoting the film unofficially :/
