Actor Christian Bale, who plays Batman, in The Dark Knight Rises made a surprise visit with seven patients injured in a mass shooting at the Aurora Theater in Colorado.

Bale and his wife Sandra Blazic spent about two and half hours at the Medical Center of Aurora where he met with five people being treated for their injuries. Two others came from Swedish Medical Center to meet Bale. According to CNN, Bale thanked the staff and took photos with employees and shooting survivors, one of whom posted them on her Facebook page.

Bale then visited the memorial across the street from the movie theater where 12 people were killed and 58 injured during a midnight showing of the movie. James Holmes, 24, is accused of entering through and exit door and shooting the victims.
