"Batman star in holy dust-up?" What a lame headliner, honestly, is "Holy Domestic Disturbance, Batman!" so hard?

Anyhoo, if this is the least bit true, Bale's timing is impeccable. You can take the Welshman out of Wales, but you can't take the Wales out of the Welshman.

Thank god they brought up, in an article about Christian Bale having an assault charge leveled against him, that Heath Ledger died (sarcasm). In fact, Heath Ledger's death should, ideally, be brought up in every article in the news. For example, one of today's CNN headline is "Zimbabwe rivals sign deal on talks". What it really should say is "Zimbabwe rivals sign deal on talks, and Heath Ledger's dead." Apparently, that's the only way to publish any news article for the next month or so.

A source said: “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.

"A Source said" is often tabloid code for "we think", and that source couldn't even admit to anything solid! Also, "wrecked" is a rather sensationalist word for a sombre source.

Oh, and re the Heath mention, many online journalists are now being encouraged to use vaguley relevant buzzwords that appear on popular searches such as "heath", "ledger" and "dead". It generates traffic to the story.

It's The motherfucking Sun. Seriously people, as far as grains of salt go, this is one giant motherfucker that deserves a hefty pinch.

It's not even that! It's "we need to fill this article and make it seem like we spoke to someone in the know", nearly every article has "a source" or "an insider" and it's absolute rubbish, it's not the paper thinking anything, it's just recycling the words we've already read.

Though I do find it amusing that even Americans spit on UK tabloids.

(*Grabs chon by the lapels*) I don't.fucking.care. And I get it, it's not like I don't - everyone said that the re-worshipping at the tombstone of Heath would kick into high gear once The Dark Knight was released, and they were sure enough right. But if I have to listen to the whole Heath Re-Grief-Fest all over again for the rest of the fucking summer, I'm gonna have to slap a bitch.

This just in from USA Today's front page:

(I kid, I kid... just mocking my own tantrum, folks.)

Back on topic - yeah, it's The Sun. I'm not too concerned that Bale actually did anything unless it's on something like CNN. Let a legitmate news source report it, and then we'll talk.

Even if christian Bale did attack his mother, I don't care. He is the world's greatest movie star and the star of my favorite 10/10 Batman movie. He can do no wrong Equilibrium was snubbed at the oscars.

There are too many unanswered questions at this point for us to judge the situation, like whether he used his growly voice when assaulting them.

I'm sure all of his will turn out to be nothing, and Bale will be exonerated.

Don't you understand, Tati? Domestic violence is funny, as long as you can manage a Chappelle callback when talking about it. It's known in some circles as the Rick James Defense.

Actually, bud, if I hadn't just put up Matchstick's quote as my new sig just yesterday, this would be golden. I'd absolutely quote it. I'm so sick of hearing about it that this is pretty hilarious.

Edit: Screw it. No law that says I can't have two great quotes up as my sig line.

But to answer her question, no, he didn't have to slap her. He didn't have to save her either. So the allegations could have been far, far worse.

Eh, Bale probably partied a bit too much the night before, had ahangover, and spazzed out a bit. I'm guessing since I haven't heard of him pulling anything like this before, it was just the result of a bad night. Dude's no Russel Crowe, y'know.

If, however, I'm mistaken and it turns out there's a history of Bale slugging women (unless they came at him with weapons or something) then he's a dolt and needs to get his act together. Shit, Batman doesn't even beat up Catwoman, so...

It's true, if he'd been legally allowed a gun he could have shut those bitches up properly.

Am I too late to say that maybe Bale has been using too many Joker products?

Or maybe he's been using... Brand X!

This is really disturbing, why does it matter what Batman does? You do know that Batman doesn't exist right? This guy is just an actor, you are aware of that right?

You do know that being held on assault means he acted in a threatening manner and/or shouted a bit. I think if he had actually hit them it would be classified as something else.

Uh, yeah, I know, Cap. I was merely comparing Bale to the character he plays, who to my knowledge never slugged a woman.

My post was giving Bale the benefit of the doubt. Crowe's had a history of picking fights, throwing phones, etc. This is the first I've ever heard of Bale acting up.

Again, if it does turn out that Bale has a history of being an asshole, then yes, he should be called out on it and take whatever punishment comes.

Tried to lighten the mood, failed. Regardless, YES, it's wrong to hit a woman.

That's in the headline of the Sun article.

Thanks for quoting my blanket dismissal of the UK press (which I still stand by), Bees. I can't stand those rags. They're among the yellowest journalism the free world has to offer.
