Batman will not face charges in relation to the "verbal abuse" incident that took place last month, say UK officials. Christian's mother and sister had reported him to police after he reportedly verbally abused them in a London hotel.

Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to afford a "realistic prospect of conviction," and ordered police not to take any further action.

If this were a physical abuse case, I'd be all like "WTF???" but I still can't really figure out what "verbal abuse" is, at least in a criminal sense, because if my little sister went running to the cops every time I called her an ass, they'd have no time to do important things like arrest celebrities for DUIs. So thank goodness the U.S. doesn't operate that way.
