Christian Bale hits back at critics who want the latest movie in the Batman series to be banned

‘I know there are a lot of people out there who don’t think this movie should be shown,’ 34-year-old Christian says. ‘But I think that’s insane. It’s an insult to Heath and everything he stood for.’

Fans say the scene in which Heath’s character The Joker is carried into the street in a body bag should be removed.

‘I don’t think anything should be cut – it’s the movie he wanted to make,’ he tells Live magazine.

‘The guy was brilliant. He was a fantastic actor and he put everything into this part. I absolutely know without question that he would have wanted everyone to see it.

The Dark Knight is released on 25 July.
