Batman actor Christian Bale comforts Colorado shooting victims

“ChristianBale meeting with #Aurora #theatershooting victim Carey Rottman,” read one tweet above a photo of Bale,crouched next to the young man with his arm resting on his chair as the two smiled for the camera.

Rottman posted two photos of himself with Bale — who won a best supporting actor Oscar in 2011 for his work in “The Fighter” — on his Facebook page.

The 27-year-old Rottman said he suffered a gunshot wound to the leg in Friday’s attack.

“What a surprise! 19 Swedish staff members met actor Christian Bale today @ TMCA! More details soon,” read another tweet from the Swedish Medical Center with a photo of Bale wearing a black T-Shirt and posing with medical personnel.

On Saturday,Bale said through his publicist: “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.”

Another of the film’s stars,Anne Hathaway,said Sunday: “My heart aches and breaks for the lives taken and altered by this unfathomably senseless act. I am at a loss for words how to express my sorrow.”

James Holmes,24,is accused of shooting 12 people dead and wounding 58 more at a cinema in Aurora,outside Denver,as young moviegoers packed the first midnight screening of the latest Batman film,”The Dark Knight Rises.”

In the film,Bale plays Bruce Wayne — who dons his cape and mask to become the Caped Crusader — and Hathaway plays Selina Kyle,whose alter ego is Catwoman.
