Christian Bale should be enjoying the record-breaking success of Batman, but instead he is being questioned by the Scotland Yard for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister according to Sky News.
Bale, 34, is alleged to have lashed out at the two family members in his suite at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.
The British actor, who plays the Caped Crusader, is being questioned at a central London police station, sources added.
The two women, who live in Dorset, went to a Hampshire police station yesterday to make a formal allegation.
The complaint about the actor was then passed to the Metropolitan Police for further investigation.
A police spokeswoman said: "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment.
"He was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody."
Maybe because I have been watching Cristian Bale movies since he was a kid, there is something about this that just seems off. Why attack his mother and sister during what should have been the best weekend of his life. But then again, you just never know. I am sure more will come out as the day goes on.
What a way of focusing the spotlight off of Heath Ledger and on to someone else who is the movie.
Terminator 4 or Terminator Salvation is not out until next summer, but by looking at the trailer it looks like Christian Bale will also have next summer’s biggest movie like he will this summer with The Dark Knight!
Hopefully soon he will get an Oscar because he sincerely has sone such an amzing job at whatever type of role he is given like in Newsies, American Psycho, Little Woman and Batman.
Ryan Philippe, star of the upcoming Flags of Our Fathers, told IGN that rumors of his playing Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face, in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins sequel, Dark Knight, are not true. "Chris Nolan is great and I thought the first one was amazing," Philippe said during an interview for Flags. "But it is just a rumor at this point; I don’t know if they even have a script. But who knows at this point." Philippe also noted that he is amused by the preponderance of rumors surrounding his career, most of which are news to him. "It’s funny – I always wonder how things like that kind of start," Philippe said. "It’s interesting, [because] I’m working down in Austin right now shooting a movie and on the radio it will come on, ‘Ryan Philippe is playing this person.’ And I’m like, ‘Really? That’s the first I’ve heard.’"
Now that the role of Joker is unofficially in the hands of Heath Ledger, rumors are heating up regarding the other major baddie in Christopher Nolan’s Untitled Batman Begins Sequel. Harvey Dent, Gotham’s young assistant D.A. ultimately transforms into one of Batman’s greatest villains — Two Face. Word is Dent will not become Two Face until the third film, making it so whoever signs up for the role must do so for at least two films.So far, a ton of names have been mentioned: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Josh Lucas and Jake Gyllenhaal, to name a few. Personally, I think it would be hilarious if Gyllenhaal nabbed the role — Brokeback Batman, anyone? The latest name being circulated around the Bat-cave is that of Crash star and Mr. Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe. Ugh. Actually, make that a double ugh.
