Batman Vs. Momzo the Clown: Your Christian Bale Kin-Assault Round-Up
Posted by Seth at 2:45 AM on July 24, 2008
We return you live to the frontlines of the Dark Knight Dark Publicity™ campaign, where the comely star of the highest-opening movie of all time—we swear we're looking for any photo that registers less than "sweltering" on the Bat-Hunk Meter, and coming up short— is facing down his most formidable foe yet: His professional clown mother, Momzo. Here's all the latest:
· The Daily Mail is reporting that Bale "flew off the handle" when his mother said "some outrageous things" about the actor's wife, makeup artist Sandra "Sibi" Blazic. He responded by calling her some very heated, un-Batmanly-like things, and was charged with Class 5 verbal assault, the least aggravated of all verbal-assault classes. (Class 1 is when you start entering the "You farty nincompoop!!!"-area. Thank god he didn't go there.) [Fox News]
· Other reports have the "lashing out" as being downgraded to a "push," or possibly just a "brush" inflicted on the mother. [THR]
· Bale reportedly lost his temper on the set of Terminator Salvation recently, telling the DP, "I will kick your ass!" in front of hundreds of people after learning a scene would have to be reshot. McWhy?! [TMZ]
· The incident isn't exactly doing any favours for the Burger King Dark Knight tie-in campaign, which encourages Whopper-lovers to "give in to their dark side" We couldn't find the ad online, but we did find a German one. Everything is funnier in German! Hat Batman Angriff seine Mutter und Schwester? Nur der Dark Knight weiß! [YouTube]

This just in- sources from the UK are now reporting that Bale has actually been charged, he will be indicted for two counts of assault and menacing with a loaded Shamwow.

Uh oh, looks like *someone* won't be getting the flattering key light treatment anymore. "Dude, John Connor looks like shit!"

So, maybe next time you'll believe me when I say I have an "inside source" ? The Daily Mail and I must hang out in the same circles.

If this is part of some Bale-family "plot" to create a story requiring the publication of sizzlin' photos that completely deflate the Heath Ledger myth-balloon...it's working for me.

That's three for three with the photos. If you want to down play his looks (WHY????) Start using stills from his work in 'The Machineist" it's the only time I've seen him and haven't wanted to tear his clothes off.

Thank for not choosing an insanely hard to handle (hubba hubba mamma jamma whoot whoot whoot whoot vertvertvert!!!!) Bale photo, and only a moderately hot one. The other threads were taxing on one's sense of public decorum.
I figured he only got shout-y. The man is in the middle of so much important Terminator-themed work, I highly doubt he'd pow! ziff! kapow! his mother and throw away his career.

Furreal, what kind of effed up country arrests people for verbal assault? Can you imagine how much more congested the American justice system would be if you could be arrested and charged for telling your mom not be a ho-bag for insulting your wife?

As mentioned, if I lived in England, I'd be serving a life sentence if I got charged and convicted of assault every time I yelled at someone. What kind of fucked-up law is that, and what kind of suck-ass bitchqueen mother would call the cops on her son for that?

I'm choosing to believe the story that he just said nasty things to his mom in defense of his wife, because that's perfectly fine in my book (apart from his being married to a woman instead of to me, but we'll let that slide. For now.)

i love that this picture (which is hot as fucking blazes, again! mercy buckets, sethy) seems to say, "I'm sorry. I messed up. I'd like to talk to you about what I did wrong. But hold me first."

i lived in the uk (the north of england, near manchester) for 6 years. in all the club fights i saw (i worked at the hacienda for a spell) i never once saw anyone get toted away for swearing at anyone (usually these peeps were drunk as well) when the cops showed up. this must be a very new law OR a very olde one - whatever...both options make it seem scandalous - one might have had an idea of such law then went to create a "situation". i'm just sayin'. money grubbin gypsie trash (gypsies are kind of like trailer park trash)

Yes, an assault in England could in theory be verbal because assault is "committed when a person intentionally or recklessly causes another to apprehend the immediate infliction of unlawful force." ie he was about to lamp his mother.
But on the other hand, we don't execute mentally ill people (or anyone in fact) or hand out semi-automatic weapons to every passing five year old.
Are you sure we're the wackos?

Bah! You just took a perfectly good post about the hotness and angriness of Christian Bale and turned it into some kind of anti-handgun, America-hatin' screed! **fires handgun off into the air, randomly**

@Elsie_Tanner: If you're going to try to make a point, at least try not being a stupid wanker who uses lame conjecture when they does not know the facts. Five year olds do NOT get handed semi-automatic weapons. Seven year olds do. Now you and your fellow binge drinkers have fun being knifed in the Tube!
