It seems like the Dark Knight just got a whole lot darker.

TMZ is reporting that Christian Bale has been arrested on allegations of assaulting his mom and sister on Sunday, the night before The Dark Knight opened in London

So if it’s true that this Bruce Wayne/Batman is a bit more like Two-Face, he wouldn’t be the first Caped Crusader to face embarrassing controversy.

Adam West, the ‘60s-era TV Batman, was accused of turning the show into a wild sex party, and that accusation came from Burt Ward in his 1995 tell-all memoir, Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights.

“Thousands” of women waited on line outside the superheroes trailer, hoping to get into West’s Bat skivvies. And Ward recalls West shouting to his groupies, “On your knees, and wait in line!”

And then, of course, 1997 Batman George Clooney nearly killed the franchise when director Joel Schumacher costumed him in a nipple-enhancing costume with enough fake muscle to make Barry Bonds envious.
