Batsuit literally left Bale breathless

London, May 29 : The Batsuit actor Christian Bale wore in the new Batman movie left him breathless - literally.

The star reveals that the new figure-hugging attire made him claustrophobic.

"I was just thinking, 'This isn't going to work. I'm claustrophobic, I can't breathe, I'm getting a headache already and this is all going to go very badly'" The Sun quoted him, as saying.

"I just said to myself, 'Breathe deeply for a few minutes. Try this out. Don't run around yelling... trying to pull the whole thing off'. I wasn't going to get it off by myself. It takes three people."

He was also all praise for his late co-star Heath Ledger, who plays The Joker in the movie.

"He was incredibly intense in his performance, but incredibly mellow and laid-back."
