Christian Bale The Inside Story of the Darkest Batman by Harriso

The darkest Batman is unmasked.

During the London press junket for The Dark Knight in
the summer of 2008, Christian Bale was infamously
accused of assaulting his mother and sister at the five
star Dorchester Hotel. Six months later, a recording of
Bale’s rant on the set of Terminator Salvation was
leaked, and the star’s anger began to define him.

But beyond his notorious temper, Bale, an Academy
Award-winning actor for his role in The Fighter, is
known for his ability to physically transform himself
for roles in American Psycho, The Machinist, and as
one of Hollywood’s most revered and bankable
characters—Batman.

In Christian Bale: The Inside Story of the Darkest
Batman, Best Biography winner in the 2013 Indie
Excellence Awards and finalist in the 2013 Indie
Book Awards, Bale’s former publicist and assistant
Harrison Cheung—his real-life Alfred—shares an
inside look into the little-known personal life of the
intensely private and reclusive actor. In the first
biography of the Batman star, Cheung, who lived
and worked with Christian and his father for 10
years, shares firsthand accounts of the Bales’
familial dysfunction, Christian’s morbid
fascinations and dark humor, and his extreme
dedication to his craft.

Aware that Bale hated his traditional publicity duties,
Cheung launched an extensive Internet marketing
campaign for the actor, built the first official actor
website for him, and cultivated the Baleheads, an
online fan community that was used to garner
editorial coverage and ultimately help Bale secure
the role of the Caped Crusader.

Written with veteran Hollywood and entertainment
reporter Nicola Pittam, Christian Bale: The Inside Story
of the Darkest Batman uncovers Bale’s transformation
from shy, English child actor to Internet sensation to
Hollywood bad boy.
