The worldwide success of The Dark Knight as a blockbuster is being overshadowed (or possibly enhanced?) by breaking news that lead actor Christian Bale was arrested for suspicious of assault.
Bale’s own mother Jenny and sister Sharon claimed the actor assaulted them on Sunday July 19. The London police interrogated Bale for 4 hours but released him on bail, with no charges filed. They even allowed Christian Bale to attend the European premiere in London’s Leicester Square on Monday.
Christian Bale denied the allegations. His mother and sister at first denied the incident but ‘fessed up after, only to say “there was a family situation… the police are handling the matter… we didn’t call the police to the scene…”
The press is definitely having a field day of it. UK’s GMTV thought Christian Bale looked on edge in this interview, the NY Post described it as “What a joker!”. He does look tense at the London red carpet, which was a huge difference when Bale appeared for The Dark Knight premiere in New York. Christian Bale plays Batman/Bruce Wayne in the darker interpretation by Christopher Nolan of the Batman story.
Bale seems too in-control of himself and too smart to ever physically go after anyone
