Ben Affleck Responds To BOURNE v BATMAN Talk; "Matt Can't Even Beat Me Up, Never Mind Batman!"
You may recall that last year, Matt Damon said "Jason Bourne would kick the s–t out of Batman." Well, Ben Affleck has finally responded, and he's now laid down the challenge to his real life best bud.
Way back in September, Matt Damon said in an interview that, "Jason Bourne would kick the s–t out of Batman — absolutely. Batman’s gotta take on Superman first. If he could beat him then maybe he could take on Jason Bourne." Despite being made in jest, those comments got people talking, and when E! Online recently caught up with Ben Affleck at the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice junket, you can bet your life that the actor had a response to that: "Matt is going around saying this all over the place but not to my face. But Matt can’t even beat me up, never mind Batman. You know what I’m saying? He has a long way to go…They’re just finishing the Bourne movie now when we have our premiere over in London. I’ll see Matt and he can take me up on it." So, who do you think wins?
