Christian Bale's beautiful face graces the cover of the latest issue of Details magazine, but the real charm lies inside the pages.
Christian explained that he had doubts the first time he tried on the suit to play Batman — turns out he's claustrophobic and the costume gave him a headache and breathing troubles.
I just said to myself, 'Breathe deeply for a few minutes. Try this out. Don't run around yelling and making an ass of yourself trying to pull the whole thing off.' I wasn't going to get it off by myself. It takes three people. I just had flashes of what an asshole I would feel like saying 'Well, I wasn't able to play that character, because I panicked every time I got in the suit.'
So are we all in agreement that it was worth working past the claustrophobia issues?

Yes yes yes!!!
BALE!
he looked damn good in that suit, i'll tell you what.
He should've just gone naked and solved all problems.
I even liked him as a twelve year old POW in Empire of the Sun. God I'm going to hell for that one.
BALE!!!!
YES! He's my favorite actor, I totally can't wait for TDK and this new issue of Details :D
I saw the preview for TDK when I went to see Indy this weekend, and it looks awesome. Of course, a lot of people will go because of the Ledger factor, but when it comes down to it, the only thing I care about is Bale and his complete and utter hotness.
I'm with Kitch…they could have airbrushed a "suit" on him. Make everyone happy…
Thanks Whitney for the Bale! Personally I liked him in American Psycho. Whats worse? Be Adequite liking him in his Empire of the Sun days? Or me getting hot for him as a grusome serial killer rapist? Mhmmm. I'd take bale eithier way!
pancake: Finding him hot in The Machinist. That's worse.
