Christian Bale

Actor Christian Bale, who plays Batman in “The Dark Knight Rises,” expressed “there are no words to describe the horror” and grief for the victims of Friday’s shooting spree that left 12 dead in a Colorado theater at a midnight showing of his new movie. Twelve people have died and another 59 people were injured as they tried to watch the midnight showing of Dark Knight Rises. As Batman, Bale’s statement was essential. During a brief interview, the actor said he feels bad towards the loss of 12 lives in the Aurora Theater. Hours after the shootings, it remained unclear what drove the suspect, identified as 24-year-old James Holmes, to fire round after round at the unsuspecting audience watching “The Dark Knight Rises.” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said Holmes used a military-style semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a pistol that he had bought at local gun stores within the last two months. Every event regarding the film, including the promotion of the final chapter of the saga in France, Japan and Mexico were suspended.
