Ben Affleck revealed how much he hated wearing the famous Bat-suit.
In an interview, Affleck opened up about exactly how uncomfortable wearing a suit is. The suits are not made for comfort in mind, instead they are made to look really cool. The biggest issue is that they do not have any way to let heat escape.
“They don’t breathe. They’re made to look the way they want them to look. There’s no thought put into the human being. So what happens is that you just start sweating … So in that thing, you’d just be pouring water, because you have that cowl over it. Like, there’s one thing to wear the suit, but once you cover your head, I guess that’s where all your heat kind of escapes and you feel it.”

‘Instantly Exhausted and Really Sweaty’
Affleck stressed how even the stunt men struggled to wear the suit for long periods due to the heat concerns. This naturally makes affects Ben Affleck and the other performers’ ability to act.
“They could do that for about like 45, 50 minutes and then they’re like gonna get heatstroke. So you had to come out of it. It just made it difficult to make the movie, because you’re so hot. It also does not make you feel very heroic, because you’re instantly exhausted and really sweaty.”
This is hardly the first time an actor has complained about the uncomfortable Bat-suit. Val Kilmer reported how wearing the suit is like being an old person where he can’t hear or breath well, as well as knocking into things.
Thanks for taking one for the team, Ben.
