Christian Bale Visited Shooting Victims in Colorado

Warner Brothers didn't put him up to it, either.  They issued a statement saying, quote, "Mr. Bale is there as himself, not representing us."

One of the victims, Carey Rottman, posted a picture of himself and Bale on Facebook.  He was shot in the leg.  (--Check it out, along with a few other photos, here.)  (Extra, Denver Post, E!Online, FoxNews)

Bale spent over two hours visiting seven patients who were still being treated for their wounds.  A hospital administrator says, quote, "The patients were really happy to meet Bale.  "They are obviously big fans of his movies.  They wanted to see Batman and were really pleased to see Bale."  Bale and his wife also visited a memorial for the victims and joined a prayer circle.  They didn't announce or call attention to themselves, and Bale refused to give an interview to a TV news crew that happened to be there.
