My husband Doug and I were across the street from the Chinese Theatre for the premiere today (April 12) and stood against a barricade for five-plus hours straight. (Worth every minute!)
After he arrived, Bale signed autographs for a while for a big group fans behind a barricade next to the start of the red carpet. All of us across the street were chanting his name: "Christian! Christian!" He then walked back on the red carpet toward the photographers/interviewers but stopped short, looked across the street and pointed over at us. He, his wife, publicist, security, etc., then crossed the street and headed directly toward us. He shook our hand and signed his autograph for us and signed as many autographs as he could for the fans and professional autograph hunters.
It was all very chaotic and exciting at the same time. He was wonderful and generous to take the time and make the effort to do this, even though he had yet to walk the red carpet and do his interviews before the movie was to start.
Needless to say, we were absolutely thrilled!!!

It was a surreal experience, so much fun!! I'm not on Instagram but I am on Twitter, same name as here. My husband took a couple of short videos and a pic but they didn't turn out very well. It was very difficult with everyone pushing and shoving around us their posters and pictures to be signed. Can we/how do we post pics on here? I'm on mobile.

Clearly it was indeed somewhat chaotic - as always in these things, probably.

sourceManny interviewing CB: Btw, it was notable that the lead of the movie was not at this premiere, and apparently not doing the junket interviews when others were. Obviously very unusual. Anyone know why?

NB: I edited a post of mine above to add the interviewer's (Manny's) comment. Posting his comment to industry mentions as well.
