By now most everyone has probably heard about Christian Bale’s rage explosion while filming Terminator: Salvation last month. (Verbal Abuse Wayne was set off when the director of photography wandered into a scene they were filming, forcing them to cut) The audio recording surfaced on the internet a couple days ago and already has a techno remix. (WARNING – Of course this stuff is NSFW)
To be honest, I think I would prefer a loud, profane Batman as opposed to the hoarse whisperer from The Dark Knight. In the newest installment of the DC super-hero franchise, Batman will battle Crewman, who wanders around Gotham City kinda getting in the way of stuff. The climax of the movie is a foul-mouthed battle scene so unjustifiably brutal it inspires Robin to say, “Holy anger batmanagement Batman!” It gets even worse in the movie after that, when Batman goes after Rodney Kingpin.
****UPDATE 2/4/09 – Forget Obama, Christian Bale is going to reinvigorate the American work ethic! First there was the techno remix and now we have a Bill O’Reilly/Christian Bale rage match and a revamped Newsies trailer! I never thought in my life I would type the words “revamped Newsies trailer.” Yes we can!

Superb! Hahahaha.
The director of photography got what he deserved. You don’t walk onto the set when the actors are doing their job. And by the sound of the original recording, Bale told the DP multiple times to stop screwing around while they’re filming.
I fully embrace Bale’s tantrum. He’s an actor. He’s trying to pour his soul into a scene (this was during what is supposedly the emotional climax of the movie) and somebody is in the background screwing with the lights and walking on set. Bale was in the right.
yeah this is definitely one of my favorite starcasm drawings ever… mainly cause its batman and its beautiful. i woulda loved to hear batman curse a lot vs the frog thing too. maybe john connor will represent.
hahah. i lol’d. the batman was drawn really awesome too.
