FROM JAIL TO RED CARPET - Christian Bale Attends Dark Knight Premiere in Spain

Christian Bale was said to have signed hundreds of autographs

From AP - Christian Bale swept into Barcelona on Wednesday night to attend a glittering Spanish premiere of “The Dark Knight,” appearing calm as he greeted fans a day after reports surfaced that his mother and sister had accused him of assault.

A 15-car motorcade delivered Bale and his co-stars to the red carpet, where the 34-year-old actor greeted hundreds of fans outside the city’s Coliseum Theater. Bale spent half an hour signing autographs, looking relaxed in a tailored dark blue suit and asking each autograph seeker’s name.

About 25 camera crews waited outside the theater. Bale did not speak to reporters and made no comment about the allegations that he assaulted his mother and one of his three sisters at a London hotel on Sunday.

The actor’s wife, Sibi, smiling broadly, and actress Maggie Gyllenhaal stood by Bale as he attended to fans. Then the Welsh-born actor, who plays millionaire recluse Bruce Wayne and his bat winged alter-ego, entered the theater to watch the film.

“We expected some excitement but have truly been taken aback by all the media attention,” Warner Bros. representative Gernot Dudda said.
