Well... a man who dresses up as a bat clearly has issues?

"It's official: Christian Bale has some serious anger management issues! Bale went absolutely ballistic on the set of "Terminator Salvation" at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico a few months back. He threatened to stop production after Shane Hurlbut, director of cinematography, accidentally ruined a scene by walking onto the set. Judging by the clip, Bale sounded like he was ready to beat some serious ass. Execs from the movie taped his rant and sent it off to their insurance company just in case Bale bolted on them mid-production." -hollyscoop.com

Don't mistake this so-called outburst for some stuck up Hollywood princess not getting green Jelly Belly's in their luxury trailer. This is clearly a case of someone messing up and being reprimanded for it. Please not, I will try to set my man-crush for Christan Bale aside when analyzing this situation.

Sure, people make mistakes in the workplace. It's easy to accidentally spill a cup of coffee or forget a TPS report is due. By all meand, things like that are easily forgivable and is often resolved with a sincere apology. We've all done it, whether it be intentional or not. But doesn't it piss you off when it KEEPS HAPPENING? Bale points out two things that make his arguement credible and validates a verble beating. One, the guy has done this before. Two, questions the guy's professional integrity. In addition, you're dealing with a person [Bale] who takes their career seriously, where their career calls for wearing emotions on a deeper level than normal.

Sure, Bale could've handled the situation much more calmly. However, I'm sure that guy, and anyone else for that matter, will never make the mistake of messing up any of his scenes again!
