The Dark Knight is set to get recycled, and will be re-released to cinemas across the globe in January 2009… just in time to be noticed (again) for the start of the Oscars voting season.

According to reports, an insider from the Warner Bros. studio said: “It’s just a matter of brining it back as a reminder for people.”

In other words, the execs just want to “remind” those doing the Oscars voting that actor Heath Ledger is still dead, and still deserving of a post-humus gong.

Personally, I’d like to see another film snatch whatever awards this Batman sequel gets nominated in. It’s kind of tacky to re-release a film JUST to get Oscars votes.

In between promoting his new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, Christian Bale is accused of taking time out to belt the crap out of his mother and sister.

Bale’s 61 year old mother, Jenny and 40 year old sister, Sharon claim that Bale lashed out at them at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday night. The pair then filed a Police complaint on Monday.

Here comes the kicker though, the Police chose not to confront Bale with the allegations on Monday, as he was promoting the movie in London and it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere.

I can’t see how speaking with him over the allegations would have wrecked the premiere, it is not as if they would have locked him up on the spot. Just another example of how being a Hollywood movie star gives you rights that no one else in the community enjoys.

Maybe it’s the rubber suit.
