Bale and his reputation are DONE, professionally
Earning a bit more prestige than he'd like from internet newsies and the national media empire with his less than sunny disposition, rescue for this Batman begins to look like a dawn that will never come. The harsh times began when TMZ leaked audio of thesp Christian Bale giving the verbal shaft to DP Shane Harlbut (photoshopped above) who distracted the actor when he walked into a scene on the set of Terminator Salvation. Bale became an instant IATSE and public enemy when the blogosphere errupted in the DP's defense, raining fire down on Bale's diatribe. The interwebs, being a new world of media, also began introducing mashups and dance remixes of the Dark Knight's outburst, an actor who now, I'm sure, wishes had simply not been there.
Being a bit of an internet newsie myself, I now present to you my choice mashup of Bale's verbal diarrhea, hoping not only to entertain but to help us all realize how important it is to maintain our emotional equilibrium. Especially when a boom mic is over your head.
WARNING, COPIOUS USE OF THE F-BOMB
P.S. Special thanks to UGO for their Christian Bale Soundboard and to Dan Trachtenberg of the Totally Rad Show for setting the record straight that Shane Harlbut is, actually, a very professional guy to work with.
