The 38-year-old actor, co-star Anne Hathaway and Christopher Nolan, who directed the Batman movie, had previously issued a statement expressing their condolences in wake of the tragedy, which claimed the lives of 12 people and injured at least 58 others.

Christian Bale told OnTheRedCarpet.com that he was surprised by the societal relevancy in "Dark Knight Rises," and the parallels between the movie and the Occupy movement.

Anne Hathaway, who stars in "The Dark Knight Rises" as Selina Kyle / Catwoman, released a statement on Sunday, July 22, about the shooting at a Friday screening of the film in Aurora, Colorado, where a gunman killed 12 people and left 59 people injured.

The 29-year-old said in her statement obtained by OnTheRedCarpet.com's parent company KABC Television, "My heart aches and breaks for the lives taken and altered by this unfathomably senseless act. I am at a loss for words how to express my sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."

Warner Bros. Pictures has yanked its trailer for the new Ryan Gosling film "Gangster Squad," which contains a movie theater shooting scene, hours after a gunman killed at least 12 people at a midnight screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises' in Colorado.

The clip was released online in May and had already been played at theaters for several weeks. Warner Bros. Pictures is the distributor of both "The Dark Knight Rises," director Christopher Nolan's third Batman film that opened at more than 3,700 venues across the United States early on Friday morning, and "Gangster Squad," which is set for release in September.

The Paris red carpet premiere of the new Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises," has been canceled following a deadly shooting during the midnight showing of the film at a movie theater near Denver, Colo. on Friday.

At least 12 people were killed and dozens were injured when a gunman, 24-year-old James Holmes, opened fire inside a packed mall theater in Aurora around 12:30 a.m. CT, police said, according to KABC-TV, OnTheRedCarpet.com's parent company.

Popular film website Rotten Tomatoes has temporarily disabled comments on pages containing reviews of "The Dark Knight Rises" due to an extraordinary number of hateful messages and even death threats posted in response to negative reviews of the anticipated blockbuster.

The site is operated by Flixster.com, a Warner Bros. company. The firm's studio is the distributor of "The Dark Knight Rises" - the third Batman flick in Christopher Nolan's trilogy, which stars Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway and is set to hit theaters on Friday, July 20.

Christian Bale said that his daughter cared more about Anne Hathaway's dog, a chocolate Labrador named Esmeralda, than the filming on the set of his newest movie, "Dark Knight Rises."

"She would be down all the time [and spent time with Anne Hathaway] - she loved her dog," Bale told the Associated Press at the film's New York premiere on July 16, 2012. "My daughter's not really interested in the filming - she comes along and is for any pets that happen to be around and for the food as well. She finds the filming very boring."

David Letterman shocked Anne Hathaway and enraged fans after revealing a "spoiler" from the upcoming film, "Dark Knight Rises" on "The Late Show" on Thursday night.

Hathaway was on-hand, promoting the third film in the Batman trilogy, when Letterman dropped a whopper of a plot point, which the gracious actress refused to confirm or deny (Spoiler Alert).

New promotional posters for the highly anticipated summer film "The Dark Knight Rises" were released this week including character posters featuring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy as well as banner posters showing some friction between Batman (Bale) and the film's villain Bane (Hardy).

The images can be seen below and the posters were initially featured on the movie's Facebook page. Hathaway is featured in a black skin-tight catsuit to play Selina Kyle, Catwoman's alter ego. Viewers also get more detailed shots of Batman's costume update and a closer look at Hardy's look as Bane.

A new trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises," the third Batman film by Christopher Nolan and the trilogy's "epic conclusion," has been released.

"The Dark Knight Rises" is set for release on July 20, 2012. Check out the new trailer.

Christian Bale says that "The Dark Knight Rises" will be his and director Christopher Nolan's final Batman film.

"I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I'm taking that cowl [hood] off. I believe that the whole production wrapped yesterday, so it's all done." Bale told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. "Everything's finished. It's me and Chris - that will be the end of that Batman era."

Anne Hathaway, who showcased her melodic singing skills as she co-hosted the 2011 Academy Awards earlier this year, appears to have embraced hip hop as well.

The 28-year-old actress recently performed a rap in what she called "the style of Lil Wayne" on the TBS late-night talk show "Conan," during an interview aimed at promoting her upcoming film, "One Day."

The first image of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in the upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises," has been released.

From the photo, it appears that Hathaway's Catwoman costume will be more functional than seductive and instead of a cat-like mask, Hathaway dons goggles for the role.
