Update: Fox News now has a "photo essay" up on this story.

This is a very strange story from the entertainment world.

Batman star Christian Bale was to be questioned by police over allegations he assaulted his mother and sister the night before the European premiere of his film, "The Dark Knight," British media reported Tuesday.

His mother and sister reportedly complained that the 34-year-old actor assaulted them at a west London hotel on Sunday.

PEP, I like this story. It's good stuff. Crap, I just posted mine, sorry, I'll take mine down.:0)

Certainly, the Dark Knight taking his role a tad too far when he starts punching out his own Mom and Sis. To be a fly on the wall for that one. One wonders if he was in his Batman costume when arrested.

Certainly if these charges stick, it will not bode too well for it’s Dark Knight Star.
