During the Thursday episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Robert Pattinson was asked if he took advice from the previous actors who essayed the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne. To this, the actor shared a funny, yet important piece of advice he received from former Batman Christian Bale. Pattinson said, "I was a bit scared to ask them anything but I bumped into Christian Bale. [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 to figure out a way to pee.'"

Robert added that he took Bale's advice and went to the costume team and said, "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."
