Playing the Batman can't be easy. I's a tough enough role as it is, but add to that the pressure of knowing how passionate the fans are about the character, and the fact that a lot of fans have been outspoken about their opinion on whether you should have got the gig, it actually seems like a bit of a nightmare.
So what more could you ask for than the guy who just handed over the reigns to reassure you with some stellar advice on playing the character. Well that's exactly what happened when Ben Affleck ran into Christian Bale at a Los Angeles costume shop.
Speaking at the Dawn of Justice Comic Con Panel, Affleck said the former and future Bruce Waynes were wandering around the shop with their kids before bumping into each other, in the batman section of the store funnily enough, before they got chatting.
Not one to let the opportunity to pick Bale's brain for tips pass him by, Affleck pushed for some advice before getting a gem from the Welshman. "Make sure you can piss in that suit". Solid advice if ever I've heard some, and director Zack Snyder was quick to point out that the did install a zipper in both of the leads' suits, so obviously the tip didn't fall on deaf ears.
Affleck, who will star and direct in his own Batman film after Dawn of Justice, was joined at the Comic Con panel by co-stars Henry Cavill, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, and Jesse Eisenberg. If you have a spare twenty minutes, you might as well have a watch.
