Fair point, however he does play Bruce Wayne/Batman exactly as I believe he should be played. For that he deserves credit.
Actor Bale speaks out over rant
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7875756.stm
Film star Christian Bale has called a US radio station to apologise for a tirade which was leaked onto the internet, calling it "inexcusable".
The actor spoke to Los Angeles-based station KROQ, and admitted that "I acted like a punk".
He added: "I was out of order beyond belief. I make no excuses for it."
Bale, 35, launched into his three-minute rant on the set of his new film Terminator Salvation when a crew member walked into his eye-line during a take.
He was heard screaming threats and swearing at Shane Hurlbut, who was in charge of the film's photography.
'Resolved completely'
Speaking to presenters Kevin Ryder and Gene "Bean" Baxter, an embarrassed Bale admitted he had taken things too far.
He said: "The thing that disturbs me so much is that I've heard a lot of people saying that I seem to think that I'm better than anybody else.
"Nothing could be further from the truth. I am a very lucky and that is why I put so much into what I do, and why I care so much about it and why sometimes my enthusiasm just goes awry."
In the new movie, Bale plays the main character John Connor who is battling to save humans in the future being wiped out by robots.
Bale insisted the scene that was interrupted was key to the story and he was "trying to convey" the madness his character had inherited from his mother, Sarah Connor, from 1991's hit movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
He said: "I completely mixed up fact and fiction, I'm half John Connor, I'm half Christian there."
Bale dismissed his threats of getting Hurlbut fired as "hot air" and told the station that they had reconciled since the showdown.
He said: "I've not only talked with him, we have resolved this completely.
"That very day we kept working for a number of hours. And we worked together for at least a month after that. There is no problem whatsoever.
"I've seen a rough cut of the movie and he has done a wonderful job. It looks fantastic," added the star.
Maybe it was all just a fantastic piece of acting?
I was thinking about that, if not, can he really be called an actor? Seems as he just acts normal in character then. The cool psycho fecker.

Great post. My exact thoughts. He was doing a serious scene and this fella fecked up twice.
9 months to think up that?
Watched Terminator : Salvation last night and big fan of Bale in Batman so there you go.
Ah right.
Bullshit.
He typed 18 words there, and it took 9 months.
By my calculations he has been typing two words a month since the 9th of March, to complete that post.

I was reading Wiki about Bale after watching Batman recently for the 5th time and then Terminator last night so wanted to know what the redcafe people thought of him.
How did you just type almost 30 words so quickly?
It would have taken me months to do that!

Haha.
My words are timeless PJ. Sometimes the gravitas of what I say needs a good 9 months to properly sink in!

Correct.
I still love that song.
McG: We made good adjustments. For real, honestly. I get it. Just walk for five seconds.
Bale: No, I don't need any fecking walking. He needs to stop walking.
that was brilliant.
I like Bale. Seems to be a bit difficult sometimes but at least he's keeping to himself all the time unlike loads of other Hollywood whores.

A woman got pregnant and gave birth to a child in the time it took viva to reply, that's kind of beautiful.
This is someones extract from a blog they have made of their life. They have summarized what has happened since Viva replied, 9 months.
End of March: My darling partner, the Frenchman, is released from house arrest (That's right, house arrest. The caribinieri had arrested him for suspected mafia activity. He was innocent, of course, but the Italian justice system has a nut loose. Poor Frenchman spent two weeks in a prison in Potenza over Christmas and then three months under house arrest in our apartment in Rome. Of course, he wasn't allowed any visitors or telephone calls while under house arrest so all he did all day was work on the computer (which explains why I was rarely able to update this blog...)).
April: The Frenchman's employer informs us that we are moving continents.
April 25: I give birth to a darling baby boy, the Bambino, in April, at home. I feel like a carwreck afterwards but am nonetheless thrilled about my little Bambino.
May and June: With the help of movers, I pack all our belongings. The Frenchman has already left to seek out a new home at our next destination.
End June: We leave Rome and spend two weeks in Paris (France, that is, of course).
Finally, in July, we move to.....
MADAGASCAR.
Her husband was released from house arrest on suspicion of being the mafia, she gave birth to a boy and they move to Madagascar, all in the time it takes viva to write 18 words.
That's kind of beautiful too.
