Christian Bale has not seen The Dark Knight Rises since the Aurora shooting

January 4, 2018 by Jordan Jones

Christian Bale has been pretty vocal over the last week, from admitting that he hasn’t seen Ben Affleck’s Batman, to revealing that he was initially in talks for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Now, talking with MTV’s Happy Sad Confused Podcast, the Oscar-winning actor reveals that he has not seen The Dark Knight Rises since 2012’s tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado:

“Very sadly, I have not been able to watch that film since because of the whole tragedy of Aurora. I have not been able to sit down and see it without thinking of that. I’d love to be able to, one day.”

In case you are unaware: In 2012, during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises, 24 year old James Holmes set off tear-gas grenades, and opened fire on the crowd. 12 were killed, with 70 injured. The tragic event left a dark cloud over the opening of the film, and it’s more than understandable that Christian Bale would find the movie hard to watch.

…You can find Jordan on Twitter, and Facebook.
