Why so serious? Christian Bale was arrested in London today after assault charges were brought against him by his mother and sister on Sunday, the night before the European premiere of his film, The Dark Knight. The incident occurred at The Dorchester Hotel. Today Bale handed himself over to police voluntarily and is currently still in custody at the Belgravia police station. Police would not identify him, but rather said, "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody."

We’re coming off the high of seeing The Dark Knight and are really bummed out at this news. Does this change your opinion of Christian Bale or would it prevent you from seeing the movie? [NY Daily News

    We all make mistakes. We think that just because he is a movie star he should act all perfect. But he is just like us but with more money. He probably f-s up more than the avreage person does, and you don't hear about it. I ain't gonna judge him cause I don't know all the facts and we don't know his life. Just what the press tells us. It might not even be true half the stuff they say. But he's fine, and I don't care about all that crap I got my own crap to deal with. I can't be judging people I don't know.

    They let him go. No charges filed. His own sister and mom wouldn't press charges, so I'm sure it was all a misunderstanding.

    He is not a god among men.

    He's an actor; an actor...not an saint...far from being an angel.

    So...give it a rest.

    There is no way in heck, heaven, and earth that he did this. I don't believe it.

    I've heard that he's not even that close to his sister and his mother and that someone else in the hotel called the cops. Wonder if there's some extortion involved.
