Before the Dark Knight movie was even released it claimed it’s first victim, Heath Ledger, who played the maniacal Joker. He died of a drug overdose that Mary-Kate Olsen doesn’t want to discuss with the Feds. Then, a week after the blockbuster movie hit the screen, the other star of the movie playing Batman, Christian Bale, was arrested on claims that he beat his sister and mother. Now today, there’s news that Morgan Freeman, cast as Lucius Fox (think the Batman version of James Bond’s Q) in the same movie, was seriously injured in a car crash with rescue crews breaking out the jaws of life to pry him and a female passenger out of the car. Despite being battered and bruised, the actor told a citizen paparazzi “no freebies, no freebies” when that person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone cam. Aaron Eckhart better watch his ass (we’re not worried about Maggie Gyllenhaal, only meaningful actors have been marred thus far).
