Wow, his wife is so boring. plain looking everytime I see her. Same hair, same black dress. She could do better.

# 3

# 4

I agree!!! At least Maggie spiced things up with the orange dress.

# 5

Can’t believe that he signed all those autographs.. and smiled ….
His wife isn’t boring ..Being very pleasant to the audience and smiling..

His daughter reminds me of Violet.. and now that he is finished his
tour.. he is going back to work on The Terminator movie..

So he can have the peace he wants and needs…

Team Bale!!

# 9

His mom and sister are just gold diggers… He should agree to give them both a sack of money and tell them to get lost forever…

they always wear black clothes !they f**k fashion but they’re fine,smilling! after,go back to work on ‘terminator ‘ set and relative tranquility!

He looks great - expect for the hair. *gg*

Except for the hair…he looks awesome!

13th!!!!!That is awesome that this film has earned all the money the exec.’s had predicted plus miliions more. And to Number#9, Christian HAS given his selfish sister and mother money time after time. ( interview in magazine article) They just keep blowing the money as fast as they get it, and he stated ” they have nothing substantial to show for it”. Then they throw his nieces and nephews up in his face to make him feel guilty. The sister needs to get child support from all of her children’s fathers and quit hitting on her brother every day. That was low class to show up on premier night, his biggest of the year, and pull a trashy stunt like that. The bar tender said the mother and sister had been drinking prior to that, and were rude and had been asked to leave twice. And they ” were going to teach Christian a lesson’? They are trash in my book.

he is so cute! and his wife…boring…she looks the same ever ytime…

I’m glad the incident with his relatives isn’t ruining his reputation. Seems like almost everyone understands that he was put upon by the mother and sister and defended his wife from them as well. I completely respect him for not letting them do that to him and his family.

They’re a gorgeous couple.

Nice to see him smiling for once.

Nice to see him smiling for once.
======================

He does look more at ease than he has in recent pics.

He finally smiles :)

And his wife is not boring! She looks very peasant and down to Earth. Only remarks I have are about the black dresses she only wears and the watch. You don’t do diamonds, cocktail dress and a watch honey. No matter if it is Cartier.

i don’t think i’ve seen Sibi in anything but BLACK! wish she’d live on the edge and i dunno, wear dark grey or navy blue!

Hate his wife
She is so average and plain
He could do so much better!

He looks amazing though

Anyone who says they hate his wife is simply jealous that she’s married to him and they are not. Plain and simple.

He’s the coolest guy in Hollywood.

put him on jail away from women

lousy boring actor and he looks so old and a jackass

The Avengers movie starring Brad Pitt,Downey Jr and Ed Norton will tackle down Batman so easily.

Im so over Bale.

I think they both look great - although a little color would be nice - occasionally.

Oh Christian, dump your wife and marry me.

Shia or Bale………..NONE

Oh core!! I hardly recognised Christian Bale with that short hair cut.
He looks so much attractive now, but hotter in the Batman outfit.
Aww i really wish i saw the Dark Night. I’m just still waiting for the day when i could get time to go out and watch it.
Hey i hear C.Bale is british? Does any1 know if that’s true?
And is that woman his GF?

Sibi isn’t a celebrity, she’s just there to support her husband, so I don’t think she feels the need to be fashionable. She wears what she wants, she’s not there for the publicity.

I’m happy for Bale and for Batman. Definitely deserves all the attention it’s getting.

Great photos! Thanks!

If I was married to Christian, I’d have a complex and wear black all the time too (nice & safe)…..it’s a huge responsibility to be married to a man every woman in the world wants…

Nice to see Christian smiling for a change. Sibi is gorgeous and always seems appropriate - even without the help of a stylist. People always pick on her for her teeth etc. but they seem like a really low key couple & don’t need to impress “Hollywood.”

Maggie has been spot-on with her outfits for the premiere tour!

Yay! Nice to see them looking so happy.
@31
Yes, I agree completely. Sibi isn’t there to attract attention or to steal the show, she just wants to support her husband. I think she looks very elegant and they look great together.

The Dark Knight was fantastic. I can’t wait to get it on DVD.

It’s a bit lousy that he gets to take credit for the next biggest box office movie ever WHEN it was really Heath Ledger who’s acting stole the movie…and made it a huge HIT.

he’s on drugs

He and his wife are a beautiful pair, and very down-to-earth. I wish them life-long happiness together, and continued success and more recognition for him! He’s been awesome since “Empire of the Sun”.

anonymous @ 07/28/2008 at 4:09 pm

heath ledger made it completely amazing.

Yes, Heath was good, but even he needed someone as strong as Batman (and CB playing him) to act against, the film would have fallen flat.
It was an ensemble effort and an ensemble success - the actors who’s names appear on the posters, as well as Chris & Jonah Nolan. :D ;)

why so serious? @ 07/28/2008 at 4:38 pm

Bale’s Batman voice sucks. He tackled reporters and fans?

he’s smiling for once! i love that.

It is sooo good to see Mr. Bale so happy! He deserves it. Yay Victoria. I & many others agree with you. How insulting for his mom & sister to try to hit him up for $ on Christian’s big night-shows where their heart is.
I think HE should be nominated for an academy award…do not understand why he has not been to date.
GO TEAM BALE!!!

Vivienne hale @ 07/28/2008 at 11:38 pm

He is so handsome! And I admire the way the Sibi always looks so pulled together and gorgeous, the way that she dresses is quite chic. I am so glad that Bale is getting the recognition he deserves -even if he doesn’t always want it!

jealous of his wife but they seem very happy to be together. im glad they’re moving on from the so called assault case. it was over exagerrated and ridiculous. loved the dark knight and he was great in it.

#40! I think his voice is really cool as Batman kinda electric machine like cos uh hes got a metal wired Batsuit on. Try thinking about it. Just a bit. Sibi really looks like Karen Carpenter here.

Christian is a Gay really. A Batty man. He just pretends to love her in their marriage to stay popular.
Without being publicly ‘Straight’ he just wouldn’t be as popular but he is privately a Homosexual Man.
This is why he is such a great actor as he has to hide his unfortunate mournings for Camp people and culture.
He has indeed got to ease these tensions big time with his smiles and fake ‘Happy’ typically heterosexual male Pitt / Cruise / Spielberg / Knoxville / Beckham accents.

Christian Bale is Welsh. The man can do any accent, he’s a chameleon. His wife looks like a nice girl but she really needs to fix her teeth, maybe after the Batman movie they’ll be able to swing the orthodontia payments…The Batman movie was good, not excellent, but it was really a collaboration…Heath Ledger was good, but not incredible…

TMZ is reporting he travelled coach class today and pushed his own suitcase trolley. That’s so cool.

I guess the common folk were too scared to approach him or pester him incase he went ‘Jack Nicholson’ on them.

I like his Style

BaleFemme @ 08/14/2008 at 3:27 am

Christian Bale is the greatest actor of his generation. He is exceptionally talented and has looks and a body to die for. He is really dedicated to is craft, as what he did in the making of “The Machinist”. He shuns the limelight and has fiercely guarded his privacy over the years. He is underrated and really deserves mor recognition. As for his wife, I don’t know her, what I d know is that millions would want to be in her shoes. But she could use some oomph in her appearance, though. For Pete’s sake she’s married to the sexiest guy on earth! You can imagine a vixen for Christian’s wife but she’s his choice, just shows he’s down-to-earth , simple and un-Hollywood-like.

They’re not simple country ******* bumpkins and never were. You could see him with a vixen but you can tell he doesn’t like the trouble. He feeds off her stability and pa skills and has transformed the dating game into a quicker faster paced and more fictional version of Happy Families. This will lead to a more reliable film scene in future years. Y’see with him it’s all about Socialite tactics. You can see this in the Casting to his movies and how theyre done and from all elements of his films which is what his real love is for. Being a BIG BadASS Film STAR

ILoveVelvetGoldmine @ 08/19/2008 at 3:24 pm

I empathise with Christian Bale and always check for his films and appearances. I love Wales but like I got 3 sisters and so has he and we got both got daughters so I just feel that naturally we got a lot in common. Me and my brother really liked him when we were young when he played Jim Hawkins in Treasure Island with Heston, Reed and Postlethwaite. Its a good book aswell. My brother had a copy. By the time American Psycho came out I remembered him so well that the movie really scared me cos he was like the good guy before as Hawkins and the cute kid in Empire of the Sun which I heard about and seen somewhere but I was young. So a few years after that in my Early twenties I found about from the net about The Machinist and Midsummer’s Nights Dream which i’ve seen and later on saw Shaft and Equilibrium found at Blockbuster luckily cos its one of his best but waaaaaay underrated. And like this year watched ‘All The Little Animals’ even though it was made in ‘98 on DVD and it was on TV so I watched it then. Its an enchanting story and now check for John Hurt like the old geezer. Just seen Captain Corelli’s Mandolin where Bale has a really good accent and of course been watching Batman Begins for a while now but had to lend it out by demand cos I’ve told people about it and they seem ‘real keen’ cos it’s Batman not for the quality of the film, director cast or anything like that etc. By then I started to like a lot of the other actors more for featuring with CB like Katie Holmes, Taye Diggs etc .Oh yeah and Velvet Goldmine is on of my favourites seen it about 10 times. My favourite line is him as Bateman to Evelyn(Witherspoon)’I am in touch with humanity’.
Penelope Cruz is Bullshit.

Good luck to you. I hope you *** the President too.

To me Christian Bale’s Image and images of him are representations of confidence.
