Batman Scaredy-Bat? Ben Affleck Pranked By Wonder Woman On 'Ellen' [VIDEO]
The DC film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will pit two superheroes against each other for the first time on the silver screen, but the trailers make it quite clear that the Dark Knight is not afraid of the Man of Steel. However, Ellen DeGeneres has just confirmed that Ben Affleck is clearly terrified of one particular superheroine: Wonder Woman!
Affleck was recently a guest on Ellen, where he was asked whether Gal Gadot's Diana Prince will be a love interest for Bruce Wayne. The Gone Girl star was quick to explain that Wonder Woman will be starring in her own standalone movie after Batman v Superman and also praised Gadot for her performance as the Amazonian princess. However, it was also clear that he is deathly afraid of Wonder Woman.
Needless to say, a bearded Wonder Woman jumping out of a table in the middle of a serious conversation would terrify anyone but Affleck's reaction was still hilarious.
Affleck may only play the fearless Caped Crusader onscreen, yet there is one person who believes he truly is Batman: his 4-year-old son. The Argo star had previously admitted that he had taken home a few props from BvS, including a batarang and a grappling hook. All the swag has now convinced Affleck's son that his father is the real Batman and that the delivery guy is his arch nemesis.
"My son really thinks I am Batman," he told Premiere. "And I don't know if it's the colors, but he is sure that the FedEx guy is the Joker. Every time a package comes, 'Dad, the Joker's outside!'"
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is directed by Zack Snyder and also stars Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams, Holly Hunter, Laurence Fishburne and Jeremy Irons. The film will hit theaters on March 25.
