Christian Bale walked the carpet yesterday in London at the European premiere of The Dark Knight, hot as ever, but with a little more gravitas than usual. Initially thought perhaps he was tired of the dog and pony show, given his penchant for extreme privacy... turns out something more sinister may be at play.

Police will apparently be questioning Christian today on allegations of assault brought forward by his sister and mother. Something went down inside his suite at the Dorchester on Sunday night but authorities chose to wait until after the premiere before approaching as police sources felt “it would have been wrong to wreck the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth”.

Please.... please not him. Please...please let this be lies. He is not like the others. He is gentle and kind. Please Shiloh have mercy.
