Inside the Darkest Batman


To all the Christian Bale fans around the world, the book ‘Inside The Darkest Batman’ has shook the entertainment industry. The author Harrison Cheung spent nearly 10 years as Bale's personal assistant. His honest take on the volatile star is a true insider's view. In his book, Harrison not only relates first person accounts of Bale's notorious temper and intense dislike of publicity, but explains the details behind what shaped the man. From his very first acting experiences as Spielberg’s child star, to the triumphant successes that culminated with Bale becoming Nolan's pick for the darkest of Dark Knight
.

Harrison Cheung, who was by the 38-year-old actor’s side for a decade, writes: Pity the fan who recognized Christian at a restaurant. Christian Bale refused to sign autographs while he was seated. He would lecture little girls about being rude and intrusive until tears streamed down their faces and their parents tugged them away from our table.

Furthermore the book on the other side tells the reader that Bale’s inspiration throughout his life was his father who died because of brain cancer at the age of 62. The current setback he is facing is the relationship between his mother and sister has not turned to be healthy after a clash where he was blamed to hit both of them in a hotel. Bale has not talked to her mother in 4 and half years despite numerous attempts by his mother to reconcile with the super star.
Leornado DiCaprio, another big name in the movie industry is an enemy figure to the British born American Psycho whom he has blamed for thwarting his career plans.

Cheung writes: “DiCaprio. The name burned Christian like a branding iron.
“Over the years, Christian had lost This Boy’s Life and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape to DiCaprio.”

According to Harrison Bale has never cared what people think of him and probably this is the reason why he has able to develop a personality in himself which has made him one of the most successful actors of all time. His performances in The Machinist, American Psycho, The Batman Trilogy, 3:10 to Yuma and the Oscar winning ‘The Fighter’ overshadows all his flaws as a normal person. Some stars are born to perform only and Bale is one of them.
