Well, my personal opinion of Christian Bale has sure been enhanced after today.
Reports the Denver Post:
Christian Bale, star of the Batman films, met at the Medical Center of Aurora on Tuesday afternoon with seven patients injured in the mass shooting that occurred during a midnight showing of his new film.
Bill Voloch, interim president of Medical Center of Aurora, said Bale spent about 2½ hours at the hospital, where he met with five people still being treated for their injuries. Two others came from Swedish Medical Center to meet Bale, who stars at Batman in “The Dark Knight Rises.
Bale and his wife, Sibi Blazic, also met with a number of doctors, Aurora police officers and emergency medicial technicians who were first reponders when James Eagan Holmes allegedly killed 12 people and injured 58 others at Century Aurora 16 theater early Friday morning. Bale spent about 10 minutes with each person.
Good on you, Bale. Good on you.

Nicely done, Bale.
He’s pretty swell.
And the crush that began with Little Women continues.
thats nice
My favorite part about this is that it seems the only reason we even know about this is because people posted to social media not some douchey PR lackey.
No press releases or anything. He seems like a pretty nice guy.
This is the example that other actors and people of power and influence should follow. This is perhaps the best thing Bale could have done and I have mad respect for this man now. I applaud his generosity and kindness- these people deserved it. Not only are you a good “Batman” but Christian, you are THE MAN! Way to go!
