Christian Bale AKA Batman raised quite a stir with news reports that he was arrested for abusing his mamma. Contrary to popular notions, it has nothing to do with fame or money.
It has everything to do with method acting.
Heath Ledger lost his life trying to become the Joker, even though Jack Nicholson warned him:
Heath Ledger thought landing the demanding role of the Joker was a dream come true - but now some think it was a nightmare that led to his tragic death. Jack Nicholson, who played the Joker in 1989 - and who was furious he wasn’t consulted about the creepy role - offered a cryptic comment when told Ledger was dead.
“Well,” Nicholson told reporters in London early Wednesday, “I warned him.”
What does this have to do with Christian Bale?
Everything.
Bruce Wayne is an orphan.
Christian Bale got so wrapped up in his character, he subconsciously is trying to become one.
I’d like to retract my earlier statement. I don’t blame method acting.
I blame Adam West.
Where was he when Christian Bale needed him the most?
