News: 'Dark Knight' Star Christian Bale Arrested In Connection With Assault and Dark Knight Review

Christian Bale turned himself in to London police early Tuesday (July 22), after allegations of assault were made against him.

The "Dark Knight" star, who was in London to promote the film, was allowed to attend the U.K. premiere at a Leicester Square theater Monday night because he made an appointment to turn himself in the following morning. The alleged incident took place on Sunday night at the actor's hotel, the Dorchester on Park Lane, and according to the BBC, involved Bale's mother Jenny and his sister Sharon, who went to the police in Hampshire to make a report.

In addition to this, I think that now would be a good time to quickly let you know how i felt about that little summer blockbuster the Dark Knight.
The new Batman film has not-surprisingly broken record after record since it's release, and while i think all the praise and hoopla surrounding the movie is well deserved, I feel that the title is not.
I don't think it was just me, but Batman: The Joker, seems like it would be more appropriate as a nomimer for the 2008 summer season's biggest blockbuster, because I am fully aware of the fact that as i sat there watching that movie, all i wanted was more joker. As i speak to my friends about it, all i hear is about the joker. There are even comics strips about how Ledger's character far overshadows Bale's title role.
Having said that, I would still like to applaud Bale's overall portrayal of the Batman character. while not exactly failing, Keaton and Kilmer's Batmans were softer, more human in their uniform, while Bale turns the Batman into the feared, strong character that he should be.
The unexpected appearance of Two face at in the 'Dark Night' was a nice treat.
One word of advice: Don't take your kids.
