Here is an update on one star of the movie. So those that haven't seen it yet can know some more info about one fine man and his mother and sister.

Report: 'Batman' accused of assaulting mom, sisterBy Associated Press
2 hours, 28 minutes ago: Report: 'Batman' accused of assaulting mom, sister - omg! news on Yahoo!

celebs: Christian Baletopics: HottiesLondonLegal WoesAssociated Press LONDON - Batman star Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday over allegations of assaulting his mother and sister, police and British media said.

British media had reported that Bale's mother and sister complained they were assaulted by the 34-year-old actor at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Sunday night, a day before the European premiere of his latest film, "The Dark Knight."

The women made the allegation at a local police station in southern England on Monday, Britain's Press Association news agency said.

Asked whether Bale had been arrested, a police spokesman did not refer to him by name but said: "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault." He said the man was still in custody but gave no further details.

The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity because force policy did not authorize him to be identified. British police do not name suspects before they are formally charged.

U.S.-based representatives for Bale didn't immediately return messages seeking comment. Repeated phone calls to Bale's London representative went unanswered.

The Sun newspaper said police didn't question the actor Monday because they didn't want to interfere with the premiere of the movie.

Wales-born Bale first made a splash as the child star of Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" in 1987. His screen credits also include "American Psycho," "The Machinist" and "Batman Begins."

In "The Dark Knight," Bale reprises the role of wealthy playboy Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego Batman, a brooding vigilante superhero still scarred by the murder of his parents.

The film, which stars the late Heath Ledger as Batman's nemesis The Joker, took in a record $158.4 million at the box office in its opening weekend in the U.S. last week.

One star dies of an "accidental" overdose, the other assaults his family. It's not as if either of those things take away from the strength of the movie.

But since you mentioned it, Bale's performance wasn't one anyone was writing home about. His freaky growl/speaking voice wasn't terribly convincing...

We have no idea about what happened. So I wouldn't speculate. There are as many wacky parents in tinseltown as actors. He might have thrown a pillow in a drunken rage. And then had an altercation with the officer. (there I go Speculating) There may be a billion answers.

Me need a boy friend, no thanks Miriya. I'm tolerable but I am as straight one guy can be. I believe in FREE WILL OF CHOICE and that the choices we make will one day be the cause of our judgement. I don't judge others and I am a sinner! I don't condone it but also don't judge those that do. Thats why I get along with many that are open about it.
So I have enough on my plate to worry about.

Now if anyone makes more out of this than what I said you got a battle on your hands and I'm going to be the winner, period! I already know what I will do.
