“It was good for the patients. We hope it was therapeutic for them, and all the staff really appreciated him coming.”
Warner Bros said the actor was their of his own accord, and was not representing the studio.
“Words cannot express the horror that I feel,” Bale said via a statement on the weekend.. “I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them.”
