But Batman Seemed So Peaceful...

Before all this business with assaulting his mom and sister, Christian Bale seemed like a pretty peaceful guy. 

Like in December, when he was mauled by fans and paparazzi during a visit to Santa Monica.  Homeboy stayed calm, joked around, signed autographs for about three hundred fans, and patiently walked through crowds before meeting up with his wife Sibi Blazic.  Check it out above.

Okay, so he jokingly call the paparazzi 'assholes.'  But still, he seems pretty effing patient.

Was Sunday's 'incident' a vast understanding between him and the fam, or is Christian some sort of real-life American psycho???
