Batman star Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday over allegations of assaulting his mother and sister, police and British media said.
British media had reported that Bale’s mother and sister complained they were assaulted by the 34-year-old actor at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Sunday night, a day before the European premiere of his latest film, “The Dark Knight.”
Probably jealous of Heath Ledger.
UPDATE: Per Karl, it might have been a *gathp* verbal assault. He must have used unreasonable force.

They must have made him really mad I guess.

There are reports circulating that Christian Bale was arrested for verbal assault, and one of Bale’s reps is echoing that.

Sticks and stones may break my bones.
Words, too.

Oh. I’m never going to England I don’t think. It just seems wise to give that wacky little island a wide berth. Also it’s expensive and they have all that faggy royalty.

It could be that Bale spoke to them in his scary, Batman-as-Cookie-Monster voice.

OTOH, had he used them to do the pencil trick, he shouldn’t have even be out on bail.

That’s a beautiful song by Loreena McKennitt, that title. Except she spells night different. She didn’t write it though. St. John of the Cross did. No idea.

Plus, when I saw the story, I momentarily thought, “He clocked Gloria Steinem?” But she’s only his wicked step-mother.

Much better, Dan. Feel free to delete this and #7. Or not.

I’m done for a while, BTW.

My Dark Knight certainly could have done NO SUCH THING.

What’s the world coming to when you can’t tell your family to f- off once in a while?

Thank you, General Washington, for seeing to it that we can tell the Brits to kindly fuck off with their silly speech laws.
Why do I get the feeling that these verbal assault laws and their bastard offspring, ‘hate speech’, are only applied selectively in Britain? I’ll bet calling male christian heterosexuals hateful names is completely acceptable.

Indeed. I’d be doing multiple life terms.

My guess is mama Bale is a bit like Marshal Mathers’s mom. She just needs a little attention, and possibly $$$.

Patrick Bateman’s mom got off easy. Just think if Huey Lewis and the News would have been pumping through his earbuds.
