Christian Bale struggles to communicate when he is in costume as Batman and resorts to using hand signals as the superhero mask hampers his hearing.
The British actor is currently filming his third appearance as the Caped Crusader in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises alongside Tom Hardy as evil villain Bane.
