Batkid – The Best Batman Ever Is Not Christian Bale Or Ben Affleck; ‘The Dark Knight’ Actor Shares Sagely Advice To ‘Argo’ Director

The touching story that's blazing the internet has reached the parties of probable concern. Batkid has reached the Batman's radar. Two of them, past and future.

A five-year old boy who has leukemia was given a chance to don the Caped Crusader's cowl for a day, and roam the streets of San Francisco to solve "crimes." This event was sponsored by the Make A Wish Foundation.

The next Batman, actor and award winning director Ben Affleck, has tweeted his salutations:

Meanwhile, Christian Bale shared his exhilaration with Access Hollywood:

"I just think it's great. It's a great day for the little guy. I just think Make-A-Wish and San Francisco did such an amazing thing to organize that. You just think of the delight in that little fella's heart, running around doing that. Then also as someone who has played Batman, it's great to see that the symbol of Batman is so much bigger than any one person, than any film, than any comic book, any TV series, that's really what it's all about. It's irrelevant which actor is playing it, we're irrelevant in that sense. But for little Miles to have such a great day is just delightful."

In a separate interview with Vulture, he laments how different he is from Batman. This news has made the rounds before he got wind of it-something Bruce Wayne would "I'm so far behind the times when it comes to things like that. I'm a dinosaur. I've never been on Twitter, but how great a thing that it can create something like that! I mean, wonderful. This little kid, oh my God - what a wonderful day for the little fella! It's just fantastic, seeing all those people who were out there to support it."

In the same Access Hollywood interview, he shares the most essential advice to Ben Affleck. Something all actors who have donned the iconic suit can relate to.

"The only thing I said to him is just make sure he can take a piss without anyone having to help him. Because it's a little bit humiliating, at least what I went through, when you have to have someone help you out of the costume. That was my main piece of advice for him."
