Christian Bale, as reported earlier today, was arrested in England for an alleged assault against his mom and sister in their hotel room. Unfortunately for Bale, more and more stories of his short fuse and hot temper are starting to circulate on the net and between those in the film industry.

TMZ is reporting that Christian went Bale-istic (their word) on the set of Terminator 4 last week at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico.

During a scene, Shane Hurlbut (seriously), director of cinematography, screwed up a shot — at least in Christian’s mind. We’re told Bale went ballistic, screaming “I will kick your a–” along with other choice remarks. Several hundred people heard the outburst — including Military Police — which was described as “intense.”

So how do you excuse inexcusable behavior like that? Well you have your publicist release a lame statement like this one:

We’re told Bale was “extremely tired and having a bad day.”

He seems to be having a lot of bad days of late related to his lack of anger management. How tormented is ‘The Dark Knight’?
