00:04Hi everyone, I'm Brian Corsetti for ENTV, and Variety.com has all the details.

00:11Ben Affleck hit up Jimmy Fallon Monday night and talked for the first time about landing

00:15the role of Batman in the Man of Steel sequel.

00:18It called me up and said, do you want to do this?

00:20And I thought, well, you know, I'm like 25, man, are you sure about this?

00:25I said, come down, I want to show you what we're doing.

00:26Turns out, the studio warned him about the backlash he might get after the announcement,

00:31but Ben wasn't worried.

00:33I don't, this is not, I handle f**k.

00:37Apparently, the Oscar winner's ego wasn't as tough as he thought.

00:40I saw the announcement, I looked at this thing, I looked at the first comment, it's like Ben

00:44Affleck's gonna be Batman.

00:45The first video just goes, no.

00:48Get off the internet, alright?

00:54Affleck's biggest critic may just be his daughter, who questioned his popularity during a recent

00:59conversation they had.

01:01She was like, Dad, what is this?

01:03I was like, that's actually a wax dummy of me, and she was like, really?

01:08Why would anyone care enough about you to make a wax dummy?

01:12New reports have emerged that Affleck will also play Batman in future films in the franchise.
