Some actors may be considered lucky for being able to use cool gadgets and props when they are working on movies. However, Ben Affleck, who will debut as Bruce Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, decided that he should bring home one of the Caped Crusader's Batarangs to impress his son!

Affleck recently spoke to Premiere, where he revealed that he got sticky fingers with Batman's throwing weapons.

"I straight up stole a Batarang," Affleck admitted, explaining how he got away with petty theft.

"I put it in my pocket, thinking I had earned it," he said, adding that he actually did get caught.

"The props guy came to come get it and I said no," Affleck said. "I thought I had a kind of 'movie star pass' for that kind of thing. I stayed strong and flew off to LA [with the Batarang]!"

Needless to say, the props guy who caught him wasn't pleased with the theft.

"The guy was super pissed, 'F--k that Ben Affleck, who stole my Batarang!' I never returned it," he concluded.

The Batarang wasn't the only thing that Affleck went home with that came from the Batman v Superman set. He also revealed that director Zack Snyder also gave him another cool prop.

"At the end of filming, Zack gave me an awesome gift: Batman's grappling hook," Affleck shared. "I was like a little kid."

Owning a bunch of Batman goodies has proven to be quite impressive to Affleck's 4-year-old, who now believes that his father is the real Dark Knight.

"My son really thinks I am Batman," he admitted, adding that his son also thinks that the poor delivery guy is the bad guy.

"I don't know if it's the colors, but he is sure that the FedEx guy is the Joker," Affleck said. "Every time a package comes, 'Dad, the Joker's outside!'"

Catch Affleck in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which premieres on March 25.
