Christian Bale may have passed on the Batman torch however that doesn't mean he is all out of advice for the next caped crusader, Ben Affleck. Recent reports from Warner Bros. confirmed that Affleck would be the next Hollywood actor to don the Batsuit, Affleck will replace Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne alongside Henry Cavill as Superman in the Zack Snyder directed sequel of "Man of Steel." The "Argo" director will be the eight actor to play Batman, however most fans agree that Bale was the best at portraying the iconic comic book character. So after taking on the Joker, the Penguin and Ra's al Ghul, what advice did Bale give to Affleck? The iconic actor admitted that the most difficult aspect of the role is having to go to the bathroom!

"The only thing I said to him was to make sure to [be able to] take a piss without having anyone help him, because it's a little bit humiliating," Bale told Access Hollywood during promotional duties for his new film Out of the Furnace. "You have to have someone ... help you out of the costume in order to be able to do that. So that was my main piece of advice for him."

While Bale didn't much else in terms of advice, he did provide fans with an interesting tidbit regarding the infamous Batman voice. Bale apparently invented the deep-throated growl while auditioning for the role for Christopher Nolan's first "Dark Knight" production. "They put me in Val Kilmer's suit," said the Oscar-winner of his audition. "It didn't even fit properly, and I stood in it and I went 'I feel like an idiot'. What kind of guy walks around, dressed like a bat? And is then going to go 'Hello, how are you? Just ignore that I'm dressed as a bat.' Of course, he's meant to be doing this. If you look at the history of the guy and the pain that he went through. I went 'I can't do this in a normal voice. I have to become a beast in order to sell this to myself.'"
