Christian Bale Visits Shooting Victims: Real-Life Superhero, or the Least He Could Do?

maybe you are, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to grasp that he was doing it out of respect. actors are still people , they feel. i know i would be there if i was him.

Leave nr alone TROLL. GEEZZ Screwball. My opinion stands. Leave me alone

GEEZZ??? shows your intelligence, haha. who the fark is nr. at least this screwball can finish a sentence. but what can i expect from someone that puts GEEZZ in their response.

Your wetarded. Lol understand that. Geeeez

I highly doubt that his visit can prevent any more monetary loss to the movie. Think about it: people who aren't going are doing it either because they're scared of a copycat criminal or they are not going as their way of showing respect to the victims. All things considered, his visit would not change either of the two mindsets which are causing the movie to lose some money.

Get a life. Go answer someone elses response. Many people think like I do. I understand you are new. If you wish to continue on the same rant find someone who cares. Scroll down and blow to someone else.

I'm new? Erm... can you define the word "new", because I don't think we agree on the same meaning, here. I've been a member of this site since '09. If you can't handle someone responding to your opinion, don't post it. I made a single response of a paragraph length: that is hardly "continuing on the same rant".

Why are stocking me? My answer is valid. It has nothing to do how I feel about the destruction of innocent lives you left wing half brained idiot. Omg het a life. Hahaha. Uneducated imbecile go answer someones question who cares goof ball.

He didn't have to, it's not his fault, but he did it anyway..

God Bless him for taking the time out of his busy schedule to visit those survivors and their families, one can only imagine how he feels..Thank you Christian!!

He was in no way responsible for the shootings. But, he did what he could to make things a little better for those effected. Nice job.

I wouldn't say superhero but I have respect for him doing that.

Not a superhero, but that was really rather nice of him.

Super classy.

He did not commit the crime. Bless him for caring.

That's amazing :D
Now I have so much respect for him...

Now that is a class act. Kudos to Christian Bale for stepping up.

I wouldn't call him a superhero but it is pretty awesome that he did this.

By all accounts he's not that nice a guy...

The actress Melissa Leo worked with him in the movie "The Fighter" for which they both won Academy Awards. She says he is a great guy! Listen to those who know him best!

the problem with most people is they listen to much to what others say, they all say he is great, so, well, he must be. (but really he is a prick) they say he is a prick(chances are he is an ok guy) to many too quick to judge even if they have never met this person.

Very cool.

i would of done the same thing but thats just who i am

so would many others. he did because thats who he is. he didnt let the press know for publicity, he dont it off his own back, he had no need to but he did.

thats my point i believe he really did do it to show what a kindhearted gentlemen he is

, i think he done it out of care and respect. for the victims and their families. not to prove anything to anyone though.

me niether

Its the least he could do? He made millions doing this movie, while those in the hospital are going to have to pony up some money for medical bills for getting shot watching a movie, so he isn't a super hero, super hero's right wrongs, lets see the Studio and Bale pay those medical bills, that in my opinion is the least he could do.

Why? It's not his fault in any way that those people got attacked. I'd be definitely impressed if he did choose to pay for their medical bills, but there's not a single cast member of the Dark Knight Rises whose responsible for the massacre.

I didn't say they are responsible but these are just everyday folks, most if not all don't have a lot of money, while the studio and Bale made 100's of millions of dollars, these are the type of people who made them rich and famous, this is something that Hollywood supposedly thrives on helping others, so let them help these people, that is the least they can do.

So the fact that they have more to give and are so rich they are expected to pay? The only one who should pay is the shooter. If I go to my dentist's and get shot up in his waiting room by some lunatic should I expect "the least he can do" is to pay my medical expenses? His patients pays for his success just as fans pay for Christian Bale's.

Doctor's provide a needed service that is called a "need" going to the movies is not a need, my point is, Hollywood can help these people just like they help others in need, I don't expect him to do anything, Hollywood is shallow and full of itself but it would nice if Hollywood would step up to the plate and help these people out, their is nothing wrong with that, please comparing a Doctor to a Hollywood actor is ludicrous, Doctor's provide a Service that is required, going to a Movie like I said is not a requirement nor is it needed.

The fact that going to a movie is more frivolous than going to the doctor is irrelevant to my argument and it's obvious. OK lets say I go into a comic book store which is not a service that is required and some might think is frivolous like going to the movies and get shot. Should the store owner or marvel comics should pay my bills? No one would have that expectation of that store owner to pay anyone's medical bill's. You have a different standard to which you hold Christian Bale expecting him to pay people's medical bill's yet you slander his profession as being a Hollywood type who is shallow and full of it's self.

Like I said I don't expect him to do anything, Hollywood Types are self serving and arrogant, I only say this because Hollywood prides its self importance on helping others, in other countries, here is an opportunity for Hollywood to give back to people in their own Country and help some of these if not all of these victims, instead of the victims going to court and wasting millions of taxpayer money, Hollywood as an extraordinary opportunity here to help but they won't, you are right it wasn't his fault nor was its Hollywood, they will not help, instead they will take the next flight to the Sudan and say to those bloated belly children, HI, I'm George Clooney now that you have seen how great I am, don't you feel better already.

If you don't expect him to do anything then what does "lets see the Studio and Bale pay those medical bills, that in my opinion is the least he could do." mean?

Oh I didn't know we were talking about George Clooney. I didn't know if someone shared the same profession they acquire all the bad attributes of the other.

Didn't know he did any of this. Yeah he sounds like a total douche how dare he try to help people in Sudan. Your essentially blaming him for his celebrity. If a celebrity wants to donate to a cause the media is going to be all over it. Blame the media and the people who consume it and sensationalize it if you don't like it don't blame him for doing a good deed.

George Clooney is a attention Whore and is only doing it for his benefit, Hey Look at me, I'm George Clooney and I am going to save the world, I don't know how but I will!!! LMAO, spare me your stupid celebrity worship!!

He can do what ever the hell he want's with his money and time. Self serving or not I really don't care as long as it doesn't cause problems for other people. You seem to care more about him and what he does with his money than me. And how does this relate to christian Bale visiting people in a hospital? Is he also a self serving ass for doing that? Please enlightenment me on how bad these people are and the suffering and pain they cause others.

our road taxes have made the government millions, do you think they will pay medical bills for road accident victims. shouldnt they seeing as we are everyday people, and they made millions of us?
