Christian Bale Becomes New Superhero: Bailman Method acting must be great - it provides a surefire way of behaving like something of an idiot in polite society. That is, unless you decide to go home and assault your mum and sister, as it was alleged Christian Bale had gone and done yesterday. That takes things a bit far, away from the Pacino not talking to people unless they address his character 'slight mentalness' and well into the zone of 'whoops he may well just be a bit odd in the head'. But rejoice! For the Baler has bailed out of the cop shop pending further questioning! Though that does mean he may go and strike again, if he did do anything in the first place. God knows the tabloids warn us of these repeat offenders in Gordon Brown's Britain.
