Say it isn’t so Batman! Sadly yes, actor Christian Bale is facing allegations that he assaulted his mother and one of older sisters in a posh west London hotel on Sunday just before the European premiere of "The Dark Knight".Reports say authorities wanted to question the Welsh-born actor on Monday but the questioning was postponed. Apparently authorities did not want to interfere with the premiere of the new "Batman" film franchise installment.
Representatives for Mr. Bale were unreachable but I'm not surprised: what can they say to spin this story? You can't be accused of beating your Momma and Big Sis and look good in the public eye. I don’t care if you had a $155.8MM dollar weekend or not, you just can't do that.
I hope things are cleared up – we just don’t need any more drama like this. Besides we have “Terminator Salvation” coming in summer 2009 – we need John Connor free so he can finish the movie!
Increase the peace Batman!
UPDATE: Bale was arrested and released after turning himself in for questioning. He is due back for further questioning in September.

just wanted to make the distinction between "assault" and "battery." if bale had been accused of beating the good for nothing ingrates, he prolly woulda been arrested for battery. assault, although serious, usually just consists of shouting, yelling threats and invectives, and/or making threatening gestures. chances are that no blows were thrown. . . but i bet mom and sis won't be getting any extravagant christmas presents this year!
