The Dark Knight star, Christian Bale, was arrested by London police today after his mother and sister told authorities that the actor assaulted them. Police were actually going to arrest Bale yesterday, but felt doing so during the European premiere of the biggest movie of the year might have been embarrassing. Out of courtesy, the UK police took him into custody for questioning only after the Dark Knight premiered. I think I speak for everyone when I say "What...the...fuck...?" The Sun UK reports:
He is alleged to have lashed out on Sunday night at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel - where he has a suite. Mum Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, who lives in Dorset, went to a police station in Hampshire yesterday to lodge the allegation. The matter was referred to the Met Police. Detectives, well aware of last night's glittering bash, took the decision not to approach Bale yesterday. But they are expected to make attempts to quiz the Wales-born actor today. A source said: "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. "But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened." A Met Police spokesman said: "We can confirm we have received allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London."
Christian Bale was picked up by Scotland Yard this morning after his mother and sister claimed he assaulted them in his London hotel room Sunday night. Police didn't arrest Christian for questioning yesterday because of The Dark Knight premiere. Also, he's not considered a flight risk (Really? Batman?) and the cops don't quite believe the seriousness of the allegations. Little is known about Christian Bale’s character because he makes every attempt to stay out of the spotlight. So, there’s no way to even begin to judge the veracity of this claim. Although, Bale seems like one of the normal actors in Hollywood, so I hope this is just one big misunderstanding. If not, I really hope he used his Batman voice. Girls always get scared when I use that voice. Here is Christian Bale at the London premiere of The Dark Knight last night.

A Metropolitan 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.”
UPDATE: TMZ is reporting the alleged assault was most likely verbal which apparently you can get arrested for in England. Ah, those wacky Brits. Christian Bale has already been released and his reps issued the following statement: "Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, co-operated 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. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."

Christian Charles Philip Bale (also known professionally as Christian Morgan Bale; born January 30, 1974 in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales) is an English actor whose film credits include Empire of the Sun, The Prestige, American Psycho, Equilibrium, 3:10 To Yuma, The Machinist, Batman Begins, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, The Dark Knight and the upcoming film Terminator Salvation, where he will play the role of John Connor. Bale is known for his mastery of accents and harsh regimens of shedding and gaining weight (particularly for The Machinist, Batman Begins and, most recently, Rescue Dawn). Before he found success in playing Batman, he was heavily involved in independent films.
Bale first caught the public eye when he was cast in the starring role of Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun at the age of 13, playing an English boy who becomes separated from his parents and subsequently finds himself lost in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Since then, he has portrayed a wide range of characters. Bale is especially noted for his cult following. The tenth anniversary issue of Entertainment Weekly hailed him as one of the “Top 8 Most Powerful Cult Figures of the Past Decade”, citing his impressive cult status on the Internet. In a 2007 poll of IMDb users, he was voted their favourite actor who is under 40. Entertainment Weekly also called Bale one of the “Most Creative People in Entertainment,” after his dynamic performance in American Psycho. blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com
