"I hated the Batsuits. The Batsuits are horrendous to wear," Affleck said. "They're hot for one thing. They don't breathe," the actor from Gone Girl stated. 

He also mentioned that the suits are made to look the way they must be and that no thoughts are put into the human side of the outfit. 

"What happens is that you just start sweating. I'm already — I sweat, you know what I mean? So in that thing, you'd just be pouring water," Ben Affleck detailed his time being the Batman.

The Dazed and Confused actor also mentioned that it was difficult to film scenes in the suit, as it made him so hot and didn't make him feel heroic. "You're instantly exhausted and really sweaty," Ben Affleck added, while also joking about Christian Bale or Rob Pattinson, stating that they might have been better at the job.
