If “Batman” actor Christian Bale, who’s in Tokyo promoting blockbuster “The Dark Knight”, was hoping for a reprieve from being dogged by assault allegations made by his mother and sister, he came to the wrong place.
Since making a public appearance in the Japanese capital on Monday, the 34-year-old Welsh-born performer has been asked by reporters about the allegations, which he has already denied after spending several hours at a London police station last week before being released without charge.
“It’s a private matter,” he said at a red carpet event for the Batman movie which has smashed box office records in North America. And even though reporters had been told to focus their questions on the movie by the organisers of a Tokyo press conference, a nervous looking Bale still got queried by a Japanese journalist who wanted to know if Bale was ”okay” following the allegations.
“It’s a private matter,” he said again. Maybe this time people will believe him.

it really is too bad that people keep bothering him about these rumors, he seems like a solid guy in general
- Posted by patrickhe succeeds in these psychologically complex roles because he’s obviously a bit of a dark character himself, he probably had some kind of outburst, it probably was personal and not horrifically criminal. but the secret-secret no talky thing really doesn’t work, it just fuels public appetite and the knives sharpen.

- Posted by ivyWow. I didn’t think these websites would publish comments like the one above, purportedly making a statement of truth about someone (which isn’t true), in order to advertise another website ostensibly called Mixedmate.com! If I were a moderator, I’d delete that ad. Mainly because, it’s a lie but also because it’s free advertising at the expense of this website.
- Posted by HelSuch a shame when family turns on you sounds like a clear cut case of extortion to me.
- Posted by jackieIt’s too bad for Christian Bale that The Americans kill all the useless alien actors they use after they’re finished with them. It’s their hemisphere and they play all the spy games they feel like. When they’re through with him, him and his family will end up just like all the other alien Jokers.
- Posted by My_TelescopeIf a mother and a sister would attempt to manipulate their son and brother by filing an assault charge on the eve of such a high profile public event of which he was one of the highest honored or highest paid, they were probably misbehaving in some way before they took this nasty step. It shows a lack of love and respect. Family matters usually involve money in some way and that kind of issue was not appropriate when they were a guest in his hotel accommodations. Calm and level headedness will clear this situation up but there is the possible effect of the violence of the characters in this movie on the characters in real life. Is Batman really worth any degrading of any part of a person? I think Batman really needs to give it a rest. Give violence a rest. Promoting violence in this movie is a disgrace to the human race.

Those are pretty strong words to throw around, coming from someone who doesn’t sound like they have any idea of what they’re talking about.
So, I sincerely hope you’re kidding, My_Telescope– as your claim is unfounded, ignorant, and utterly insulting.
Jeopardizing ‘alien’ stars wouldn’t serve any purpose at all. Media is one of the most pervasive and brilliant American exports at present. It doesn’t make economic sense to kill or endanger anyone involved, and– additionally and obviously it is completely, utterly, and totally immoral.

What a joke, leave the poor guy alone! what a stupid thing to say! Tisk!
