AURORA, Colorado (WXOW/AP/ABC NEWS) -- Batman star Christian Bale is in Colorado visiting the victims of last Friday's shooting at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."

A Warner Bros. spokeswoman told The Denver Post Tuesday that Bale was representing himself, not the movie studio.

Wisconsin native Carey Rottman of Mequon, one of the 58 people injured in Friday's shooting, posted two photos of himself with Bale on his Facebook page.
 
Bale visited with six other victims of the shooting along with hospital staff.

There's been an online campaign urging Bale to visit the victims of the shooting, which also killed 12 people.

Rottman, a football player at Winona State University, also has had visits by members of the Denver Broncos as well as a phone call from Peyton Manning.  Colorado's governor John Hickenlooper visited with Rottman.
