Christian Bale is no superhero in real life
July 23rd, 2008
Holy woman beater Batman! Seems the Caped Crusader himself got into a bit of trouble. Or more like a crap pile of trouble. Reports are coming out of the UK that Christian Bale has been detained and questioned about allegedly assaulting his 61 year old mother and 40 year old sister this past Sunday night at the Dorchester Hotel in London where he was staying. Mom, Jenny and sister, Sharon reported the assault to the cops in Hampshire where they live and the case was quickly referred to the Metropolitan police. According to a source, an argument about a long standing family matter took place Sunday night and Bale lashed out at his mother and sister, pushing one of them.
But it seems that the police have a soft spot for the Batman star as he was allowed to attend the European premiere of The Dark Knight and four press events preceding the premiere before being asked to come in for questioning. Why did they let him canoodle all over London when there was a warrant out for his arrest? Well, they didn’t think the star was a flight risk, what, with the millions he’s worth and all. Also, they didn’t want to ruin the premiere. Britain’s The Sun was told by a police source that, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.”
Uh huh. I wonder how his mum and sis feel about this. Oh, so he smacked you around a bit? Sure we’ll question him. Just as soon as he’s done promoting his movie. About being a superhero and protector. You understand, right?
Everyone involved is being super tightlipped about the incident, with Bale’s rep denying the charges (of course) and the police and family members involved refusing to comment.
