Christian Bale Visits Aurora, Colo., Shooting Victims
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertai...oting-victims/
Sheila Marikar By Sheila Marikar @SheilaYM Follow on Twitter Jul 24, 2012 5:02pm Christian Bale Visits Aurora, Colo., Shooting Victims Email 16 Smaller Font Text Larger Text | Print gty christian bale kb 120724 wblog Christian Bale Visits Aurora, Colo., Shooting Victims Credit: Dave J Hogan/Getty Images Christian Bale, who plays the hero, Batman, in “The Dark Knight Rises,” today visited victims of a massacre that occurred early Friday at a screening of the film, allegedly by a man who fashioned himself as Batman’s comic book arch-enemy, the Joker. Bale spent about two-and-a-half hours at the Medical Center of Aurora, Bill Voloch, the interim president of the facility, told the Denver Post, adding that he met with five people being treated there and two others brought in from another hospital. “It was good for the patients,” Voloch told the Post. “We hope it was therapeutic for them, and all the staff really appreciated him coming.” Petitions asking the actor to visit Aurora were posted on Change.org following Friday’s shooting. Over the weekend, Bale released a statement regarding the massacre, saying “Words cannot express the horror that I feel. I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them.” RELATED: ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Dominates Box Office Christopher Nolan, who directed Bale in the latest Batman trilogy, released a statement Friday expressing his “profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy” that happened in Aurora. Anne Hathaway, who stars alongside Bale in “The Dark Knight Rises,” echoed their sentiments, saying, “My heart aches and breaks for the lives taken and altered by this unfathomably senseless act.” |

a really nice thing to do; anything that can be done to help the survivors and their families should be done.

That is beyond awesome! I'm sure it made him feel a lot better to visit the victims too. Even though it wasn't his fault this horrible tragedy happened, I'm sure he felt some connection to the victims since they were watching a movie that he starred in. I have a new respect for him as well and I'm sure that a lot of other people will too.
