Batman Arrested, Beat Up His Mom & Sister? - With Video
Zap! Pow! Biff!
Holy Domestic Violence, Batman. Say you didn’t do it!
Batman star Christian Bale was arrested today by detectives investigating claims he assaulted two family members.
The Hollywood actor was being questioned by police at a central London police station, sources said.
Bale, 34, is alleged to have lashed out at his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, in his suite at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.
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.”
Bale was arrested just hours after he attended the first European screening of the new Batman blockbuster, The Dark Knight.
The actor joined co-stars Sir Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart at the Odeon West End cinema in Leicester Square.
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.
It’s not the only drama to cast its shadow over the premiere.
Peaches Geldof, one of the guests at the screening, was reportedly treated by
paramedics after a suspected drugs overdose at her flat in Islington.
Bale has been married to Sibi Blazic, a former personal assistant to Winona Ryder, for eight years, and they have a three-year-old daughter Emmaline.

Well if he really is guilty of this, there is never any excuse for violence against women; except in a life or death situation.
That being said, “Dark Knight” still kicked ass.
