Christian Bale Arrested. Builds Own Jail Out of Batman Dollars

Posted on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 by Hunter Stephenson

UPDATE: Apparently raising your voice against your mum in the UK is against the law. The charge was “verbal assault.”

Yes, he’s already out on b-a-i-l. Earlier today, London police arrested Christian Bale, not to be confused with Adam West, and held him for questioning after his mum and one of his elder sisters made allegations of assault. The charges hit news outlets yesterday, but police apparently backed off and let Bale attend last night’s London premiere of his film, The Dark Knight.

The case will resume in September, unless charges escalate. Bale denies all charges. If R. Kelly can get off using the Little Man defense, we think Bale will be fine, but domestic charges like these are nothing to jest about. The actor has not released a public statement. More as it develops.

Discuss: Be nice to your mum.

/Film reader, Bob Dance, has offered up his mom to Bale. Classy.

I wonder how close they all really are? This could be them just trying to get money and fame.

"we think Bale will be fine, but domestic charges like these are nothing to jest about."

Sure they are. Where do you think I've gotten my kicks from all morning. :)

sorry... computer glich

If Christian Bale hit my mom or sister I wouldn't call the cops. I'd be honored that Patrick Bateman was in my home in the first place.

Aqualeo, have you ever considered that he didn't know them well and they were just trying to get fame and money?

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

Everytime I see clips from tdk of Bale beating down criminals I'm going to see elderly Welsh woman in the their place. KA-PLOW!

i think this is the first time i've ever heard a negative thing about bale (in fact i don't know that i've ever heard anything at all). there's gotta be more to it, especially since he's denying it.

I think Bale's just mad because worm food is stealing all of his Oscar buzz.

"i think this is the first time iâ€™ve ever heard a negative thing about bale (in fact i donâ€™t know that iâ€™ve ever heard anything at all). thereâ€™s gotta be more to it, especially since heâ€™s denying it."

Yeah, it's called..............he's lying.

I heard that Scotland Yard tricked him into turning himself in to their station by shining the batlight.

Nah there has to be more to this story!!!

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

So, should we start calling him Christian Bail now?

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

"Nah there has to be more to this story!!!"

Irony time. Isn'tt heir a part where bm and all are complaining that after they do all of the hard work of capturing criminals, the law just sets them free again on bail? lol

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

Hide your mothers, everyone. "I'm gonna beat yo momma with a" bat man is back on the loose!

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

I also heard a rumor that after Terminator, Bale is set to return to the comic genre with the highly anticipated "Ike Man" movie.

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

And that will be quickly followed with a remake of "Throw Momma From the Train".

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

And at leas tnow we know why he turned down that role in Mama Mia. :(

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

Gosh, this is so much fun. Die, fanboys, die. >)

Screw you guys! You know he's taking the fall for Harvey!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

go christian! this is awesome

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

Not to self: next time I commit a crime, make sure I have movie premiere to attend so police won't immediately arrest me.

moseth

looks like bale has another hit on his hands....too soon?

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

go christian! this is awesome"

You're a sicko, sir. The guy struck elderly women. Seriously, he's a douche of the highest order.

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

hmmmmmmmmmm, this has me wondering......... where was Bale six months ago when Ledger, his costar who everyone admitted stole the show during filming, 'accidently' overdosed?????? :0

Hitting old ladies and killing Australians? one or the other, okay. But BOTH! That's unforgivable!

jimbo stewart

Hmmm... I hate to joke about this, but he really should have called Robin for an assist.

Two against one is no fair!

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

I'm going to go torrent tdk right now, just so that I can laugh whenever bale expresses his hatred for criminals and the failure of the legal system at keeping them behind bars. LOL

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

At least all of the fans who went to tdk multiple times know that their money is going to defend a woman beater and help him beat the rap and get back out on the streets. Great job, guys! :)

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

Anyone else think Bale looks like a pedophile?

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

I'm happy that Heath is dead and didn't live to see this sad, sad turn of events.

ANGRY BROOMSTICK!!!!!!!!!!

this is really strange. Ive never heard anything bad about Christian Bale and he's been acting for a LONG time.

I wonder if it;s a publicity stunt or if his fam is tryin 2 get money off him. who knows?

@ Jerry Crack Corn

Either lay off the Adderall/crack or I'm putting you in the SPAM file for the rest of the day. Thanks.

Jerry crack corn and I don't c

tis cool. I'm already finished. Just wanted to squeeze in a days worth of posts here early so i could hit the golf course early. Chow.

i wonder if he threatend her with his "batman voice" before he allegedly hit her. lol.

I dont think he is that angry about the movie though, his part really wasnt that big compared to the others. most of the time he was doing action sequences-its pretty tough to deliver hard hitting dialogue while hanging for dear life on the back of the batpod. so he couldnt have been expecting a horde of buzz around him. Even though he was great.

Teresa

For the record, in the UK, you are arrested first and then questioned. Just if an allegation has been made. Even if it's only on someone's word and there is no shred of evidence.

And secondly, the term for assault is quite vague over there. If you yell obscenities or say words with the intent to harm or cause alarm you can be charged with "assault".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault#Assault_in...

I love me some Bale and he has no history of a bad temper before this incident. Plus, family brings the worst out of you, so we have no idea what really went on. I'm hoping it's just an argument that got a tad outta control.

Peter Simpson

HAHA! Is funny because is assault. Assault of old womans. Haha!

Let's save the terrible insinuations/accusatory remarks for later - or the /film boys'll get the jail for perjury/libel/SLAGGING OFF BATMAN!

The Dude

You dont even have to touch someone for it to be considered assault...
"threatening gestures that would alarm any reasonable person can constitute an assault."

I assault my family every Christmas.

Its not like he was charged with Battery...

sp

I don't know if anybody can really believe anything on TMZ, but they're saying that he was arrested for a VERBAL assault, ie. he yelled at them. it's a crime in the UK!

Chump Force 1

He's looking at some serious jail time under Britain's harsh "1,000 strikes law".

This was on IMDb

"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," the star's lawyers said in the 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."

Sounds just fine to me.

@hunter

thanks!!!!!

Justin S.

I always knew batman had family issues.

Rockme

LETS NOT FORGET THAT THIS STORY IS ORIGINALLY FROM "THE SUN", they get sued constantly for making up fake stories.

It's the TABLOID paper of the U.K.

Captain Awesome

Sounds like a family he doesn't like and or get along with and they wanna squeeze some $'s out of him.

Thanks Hunter. Jerry needs those internet-baby nuts of his tied with a rubber band.

A Better Class of Criminal

I would make a joke about this story in relation to The Dark Knight, but that would be incredibly distasteful and irreverent to the situation............................................................................................................

Swear to Me! (Pow!) Your not the Devil, You're practice! (Bam!)

I kill myself...

b-nasty

perfect timing for this story to break

nick

which movie studio paid his mum and sis to cry wolf?

Pentarix

It's from the SUN, it's all "alleged" as a VERBAL assault and in fact he wasn't even charged. It's bullshit. The tabloids are just looking for more fodder for you to buy.
