Bale and wife Sibi Blazic also visited with doctors, police officers and other first responders on the scene during Friday's shooting, in which 12 people died and more than 50 were injured after a lone gunman, suspect James Holmes, tossed tear gas into a movie theater during a Dark Knight Rises showing before opening fire.
A rep for Warner Bros. told the paper that Bale went to Aurora of his own volition.
