[Bale goes nuts on set](http://indiefilm.movies.yahoo.com/article-3-batman-goes-bale-istic-with-profane-tirade-on-crew/) This part of the article caught my eye: “In it, the actor who portrayed Batman in “The Dark Knight” rails against cinematographer Shane Hurlbut for **apparently walking behind co-star Bryce Dallas Howard and through Bale’s line of sight, considered a film-set foul.** ” I’m trying to wrap my head around this and even taking into account some extremely prima donna behaviors I’ve read about actors, I cant imagine what the “foul” is. I’m envisioning Hurlbut simply walking behind Howard, and then somehow getting into Bale’s field of vision, sorta like a black cat crossing your path. THAT’S a foul??? Is there something I’m not understanding about his behavior? Does he make everyone not walk in front of him or something? 😕 ---
