    Interesting story. Glad to know Bale does more than yell at people ruining his 'scene' ;)

    The actor hoped to raise awareness of the Chinese civil rights movement and Chen himself
    Looks like he succeeded there.

    Christian Bale is too intense. If I were CNN I'd go with another actor like Rob Schneider or Adam Sandler. The Chinese government would never see that coming.

    "The physical scuffle eventually turned to a high-speed car chase, where Bale and the crew were chased down country roads for nearly 40 minutes that ended with a broken car and damaged camera."

    The reality of the situation is probably not nearly as intense as it sounds, but I'm going to pretend anyway.

    What they didn't tell you is that Bale beat up 3 of those chinese guys wives.

    I mentioned this headline to my wife last night, astonished and intrigued she asked for details. I told her I hadn't read them because I knew I would be underwhelmed and I was.

    I was kind of hoping the guy had robbed a bank of narrowly missed destroying communism single handedly. While the story is actually quite interesting on its own merits, "Batman Chased Down By Chinese Authorities, Gets Away" seems to warrant something much more dramatic.

    Did he have to kidnap the CEO of that chinese compagny as well?

    Sure he was a mob accountant, but that was a bit too much
    Has to remember his suggestion for the traitor game

    I wonder if Bale used his scary/raspy "Batman voice" as he was being shoved, to intimidate the plain-clothes cops?

    I'll bet good money China will be making their own cheap knock-off Christian Bale after this incident!!!
