A dark night....


I was really disappointed to hear this. Maybe success has gotten to Batman star, Christian Bale (or to his family)?

Actor Christian Bale, star of the Batman blockbuster movie "The Dark Knight" on Tuesday denied allegations of assault made by his mother and sister after he was questioned by London police.

The 34-year-old spent several hours at a London police station before being released without charge, his Los Angeles-based spokeswoman, Jennifer Allen said.

"Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister," Allen said in a statement.

"Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, cooperated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police."

She confirmed separately that the allegation was of assault.

When asked if Bale had been arrested and released on bail, a police spokeswoman said: "A 34-year-old man has been bailed to return to a police station on a date in September."

The wording is the usual tangential way British police confirm news about well-known personalities.

A spokeswoman for the studio behind the film, Warner Bros. Pictures, which is part of Time Warner Inc., declined immediate comment on the situation.

British media reports said the arrest of Bale followed allegations of assault made by Bale's mother and sister in relation to an incident at his London hotel suite late on Sunday.

You had to post the 'wife beater' photo...

Today, The Toronto Star has posted updates to the story stating that there was no physical assault and instead he was angry at his mom and sister cornering him and saying very degrading an inappropriate remarks about him and his wife. He out of anger yelled back but did not physically assault them - he had now where to go to cool off (press and fans surrounding the hotel) and just lashed out. He's been in bad mood lately while filming Terminator 4 and also with his co-star's death being rekindled around Dark Knight opening.

Not saying its right, but too often the media and people in general jump to conclusions BEFORE learning the details behind a given event.
