Christian Bale hasn’t spoken to his family for 18 months.

The actor’s mother Jenny is mystified as to why he has ignored all attempts she has made to make contact since he was arrested on suspicion of assault following a row they had on the evening of the London premiere of his movie ‘The Dark Knight’ in July 2008.

She said: “He’s not talking to us, it’s not the other way round. He has changed his phone numbers, and he ignores the letters, emails and birthday cards I send.

“As awful as that night was, and although I rack my mind every day about what couldhave made him behave like that, I’d happily forget it happened if we could go back to being a family. That’s the most important thing.

“We miss Christian terribly. But it’s been more than 18 months now and it’s hard to see how this will ever end.”

According to Jenny and her daughter Sharon, they are still unsure why Christian – who has a four-year-old daughter Emmeline with wife Sibi Blazic – “exploded with anger” and had them thrown out of his suite at the lavish Dorchester hotel shortly before the premiere.

Jenny, 62, recalled: “He just exploded with anger like I have never seen. He never gave us a chance to find out what it was all about before he frog-marched us out of his suite.”

Sharon added: “He had his face to mine and he was bellowing and swearing about how I never called or emailed. His wife, who I have met a few times and always got on with, was standing across the room. I kept asking her, ‘Why is he doing this?’ but she just shrugged. I was shaking. It was so frightening. It didn’t make any sense.

“It probably went on for about ten minutes before he physically marched us out of the room and into the lift.”

Jenny now relies on the internet for news of her 36-year-old son – who moved to the US when he was 17 with his father David when his parents divorced – and lives in fear of something terrible happening to him.

She told the Mail Online website: “I search for pictures of him on Google just to see how he is. Sometimes he’s pictured with his daughter, and I get to see how she’s growing. If I want to know what’s going on in his life, I have to read the headlines. What if something terrible happens and I have to find out about it in a newspaper? I’m his mum and he’s my little boy.”

It’s coming again in your way, the Warner Bros. are set to come out with their next film on the Batman Series and as usual it will be directed by Memento helmer Chris Nolan.

Deadline’s Nikki Finke reports that Chris Nolan’s Brother Jonathan Nolan and ABC’s Flash Forward’s show runner David Goyer is all set to pen the script for Batman 3. David Goyer has previously scripted Batman Begins along with Jonathan Nolan and also wrote the story for the last Batman film “The Dark Knight”.

Deadline also reports that David Goyer has left the ABC’s Flash Forward to pen down the Batman script. Deadline also quoted a statement from David Goyer stating: “As my feature projects have started ramping up again, I felt I was being pulled in too many directions. I’m proud of ["FlashForward"] and excited about the re-launch. It’s in great hands.”

The Batman series kick started by Nolan earned $US 1.5 Billion in total for the last two movies. The last installment “The Dark Knight” won two academy awards for Best Sound Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger.

Chris Nolan is a busy man this year as his latest flick Inception is all set to release on 16th July and has an electrifying star cast that includes the likes of Leonardo De Caprio, Ken Watanbe, Marion Cotillard , Ellen Page, Tom Berenger and Joseph-Gordon Levitt of 500 Day of Summer fame.

Christian Bale lived in a home where a human body was buried … and he had no idea, cops tell TMZ.

We’ve learned in 2008 while Bale was filming “Terminator: Salvation” in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the body of Michael Snyder lay in the front yard of the home he was renting.

Snyder had been missing for 8 years … buried at the home the entire time. The body was discovered last week after cops received a tip. Snyder’s ex-wife has been arrested and charged with murder.

Bale obviously had no idea the body was in the yard.

The members of BaleHeads.com & I wishes Mr Christian Bale a very happy birthday, hopefully this year will be a good for you & your family.

/Film reader “PWH” attended an early screening for the sports drama David O. Russell’s The Fighter, and says the film will be an awards contender. The film tells the story of Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), a real life boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after a run of drugs and crime.

Shepherded his half-brother “Irish” Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), Dicky had a Rocky-like rise to the world lightweight championship. Ward fought throughout the mid-’80s and ’90s, but he’s best remembered for three battles with Arturo Gotti, two of which went down as the greatest in the history of the sport. Amy Adams plays “a tough, gritty bartender and former college high-jumper” who ends up dating Wahlberg’s character.

The Fighter doesn’t yet have a release date (but is expected to hit theaters in late 2010), so I assume that that it is a very early cut of the film without final cuts, sound mix or score. A lot could change between now and the time of release, they might even do some reshoots. Who knows. Just wanted to add a bit of context. Read the reader test screening review after the jump.

‘The Dark Knight’ has Telegraph’s ‘Top 10 Conservative Movies of the 2000s’.

6. The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan, 2008)
Christopher Nolan’s global mega hit raked in over $1 billion worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why. Featuring some of the most striking set designs since Blade Runner, Nolan’s towering vision of Gotham City looked glorious in IMAX, and was a ground-breaking cinematic achievement. Heath Ledger’s pitch-perfect performance as The Joker deservedly won him a posthumous Best Supporting Actor award. It is though its depiction of Batman’s relentless war against the Joker’s campaign of terror, which marks The Dark Knight as a standout conservative film. The Dark Knight himself, played to perfection by Christian Bale, is unwavering in his determination to defeat his adversary, whatever the cost.
