The 38-year-old was doing a dress rehearsal for the Batman trilogy - &#39;The Dark Knight Rises&#39; - when he thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown. <img alt="Christian Bale in Batman" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/Batman.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 371px; " /> &quot;I think the very first time I put on the suit, it was at the audition. It was Val Kilmer&#39;s (outfit from 1995&#39;s &#39;Batman Forever&#39;) so it didn&#39;t fit very well and the claustrophobia was just unbelievable. I stood there and I thought, &#39;I can&#39;t breathe. I can&#39;t think. This is too tight, this is squeezing my head. I&#39;m about to have a nervous breakdown. I&#39;m about to have a panic attack,&#39;&quot; he told USmagazine. &quot;I asked for 20 minutes by myself... and I stood there and thought, &#39;I&#39;d really like to make this movie.I have to get through this moment&#39;,&quot; he added.
