Pattinson explained that though he was quite nervous asking them about anything coincidentally, he ended up running intoChristian Bale, who portrayed Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s version of theDark Knighttrilogy.
“I was a bit scared to ask them anything but I bumped into Christian Bale,”Robert Pattinson said.“[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 bat suit is figure out a way to pee.'”He added, “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.”
Bale, ended up giving theHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fireactor suggestions about modifications he could make to the suit while the two were in the restroom. He told Pattinson that the first thing he should do is find a better way to use the bathroom when he is in the bat suit during filming. Pattinson ended up approaching the costume department and made them figure out a solution for this problem.

Superhero suits are very intricate, delicate, and expensive. They have the months to be made and are very well thought out. Despite this, many actors who play superheroes have discussed the chore that is using the restroom within their superhero suits.Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man, has also talked about this.
“It looks amazing, [but it] feels terrible… going to the bathroom is a mission. You have to plan 45 minutes in advance,”he said.
TheSpider-Man: No Way Homestar mentioned that even though the suit looks very cool, being in it is quite a nightmare. He stated that the process of him using the restroom is quite a long one. The entire process is quite long, and tedious, and requires planning of almost an hour, which can be quite a hassle. Maybe Holland needs to get in touch with the Batman actors as well.
