Another picture of the Welsh actor, who was wearing a black T-shirt, was posted on Twitter by elated medical staff saying: "What a surprise! 19 Swedish staff members met actor Christian Bale today @ TMCA! More details soon."
Bale also visited a makeshift memorial to the victims near the cinema. He walked past the 12 crosses erected for each of the slain victims, with many people there not realising who he was.
Bill Voloch, interim president of the hospital, said: "The patients were really happy to meet Bale. They are obviously big fans of his movies. They wanted to see Batman.
"It was good for the patients. We hope it was therapeutic for them, and all the staff really appreciated him coming."
Mr Voloch said Bale had wanted to keep the visit private and media were not notified, but word quickly spread.
The actor released a statement last week offering his condolences to those affected by the shooting.
"Words cannot express the horror that I feel," he said. "I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them."
James Holmes, 24, is accused of shooting 12 people dead and wounding 58 more at the cinema outside Denver during the first midnight screening of latest Batman film The Dark Knight Rises.
