A few updates on the “Did Batman beat his momma?” drama.
Bale is trying to get out in front of the story by having a “source close to the actor” relay his version of what happened over the weekend.
(1) Bale, who has already denied assaulting his mother and sister, does admit to getting angry with his family and blames his mother for his outburst. The anonymous Bale-friendly “source” with knowledge of the situation spoke to Mail Online, claiming:
“Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him, and his wife.”
The same source also claims that Bale’s temper owes in part to a deep depression he’s been feeling over the death of his friend Heath Ledger.
(2) But TMZ is also reporting that Bale’s fiery disposition was in full force last week as well. On the set of Terminator 4, TMZ’s spies claim that the 34 year old actor blew up at the film’s director of photography, screaming: “I will kick your ass” along with some “other choice remarks.”
(3) Today’s NYPost digs up a quote from Bale where he once told E! Online: “If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn’t be so adored in the slightest.”
(Conclusion) From where I stand it seems like, when the cameras are off, Christian Bale is just a miserable guy with a bad temper. I have no doubt that he blew up at his family this weekend and I wouldn’t even be surprised to find out that he did put his hands on them.
But what’s most interesting about this story is: how did the police get involved? Bale’s family is trying to tamp down the story, and they are expressing curiosity as to who notified the authorities.
Let’s say Bale did get rough with his mom. Shameful thing to do. But does mom then call the police on her son, knowing what it might do to his career?

It was so sad to hear that even when he was safe, and he knew he was safe, with the police around him, he still couldn’t feel safe. This time we opted for the police instead of Bale’s. It wasn’t until after Batman star Christian Bale came down that The same source I was watching the story in could be re-developed from the situation.

Bale seems too in-control of himself and too smart to ever physically go after anyone
