Serious.

The day after the British premeire of The Dark Knight, the cops picked up Christian Bale.  Why?

He allegedly assaulted his 60 year old mother and 40 year old sister.  I’m wondering if this is true at all, though there’s an article about it here.  But seriously, the headline was too good to resist.

UPDATE: According to various news agencies, he’s been released from custody but has an appointment to come back for more questioning…
