Circling back to Robert Pattinson’s Batman suit, according to Insider, the actor while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, revealed that he asked his costume team to get a pee flap for his outfit. The actor also spilled the beans that it was Christian Bale’s useful advice that made him take the step. When asked if he reached out to any of the previous Batman actors to get advice, Pattinson shared, “I was a bit scared to ask them anything but I bumped into Christian Bale” adding, “[I was] next to him in a urinal and I guess it kind of inspired him to say, ‘The first thing you need to do in the batsuit is figure out a way to pee.’” Pattinson further shared, “So when I went to the costume department I was like, ‘First things first. I need a patch. I need a flap on the back.’ Easy access… I pee sitting down.’”

The Batman director Matt Reeves further mentioned the same when he appeared at the virtual DC FanDome convention. At the time, he shared that the Twilight star and Christian Bale spoke to one another prior to filming.
Reeves shared, “Rob actually talked to Christian Bale, and Christian Bale was like, ‘Just make sure you’re gonna be able to relieve yourself,’” adding, “Like okay, he needs to be able to put it on. He also needs to be able to live as a human being.”
Interestingly, Christian Bale passed on the same advice to Ben Affleck when the latter was cast in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. “The only thing I said to him is to make sure he can take a piss without anyone having to help him,” said Bale in 2014, adding, “It’s a little bit humiliating, at least what I went through, when you have to have someone help you out of the costume in order to do that. That was my main piece of advice for him.”
