Although the internet is littered with news and updates about the new Batman, there hasn't been a lot of footage of Ben Affleck in action. The trailer for the highly anticipated DC flick 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' only shows a glimpse of the Caped Crusader mouthing off with the flying Kryptonian.
The clip shows Ben Affleck asking Henry Cavill's Superman, "Tell me, do you bleed?" in the somber tone associated with the Dark Knight.
Fans may now hear Ben Affleck say one of Batman's most iconic lines in an unexpected place: An Instagram video.
Young actor Seth Lee, who is currently working with Affleck on the action thriller 'The Accountant,' posted a video of himself and Bruce Wayne himself goofing off. The caption reads, "Because, he is batman #batman #benaffleck #theaccountant"

Affleck will play Batman in several upcoming films. In addition to starring in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,' the actor may also appear in the David Ayers film 'Suicide Squad' opposite Jared Leto's Joker. He will then go on to star in the superhero's solo film, tentatively called 'The Batman.'
He may not just play Bruce Wayne as well. There have been several speculations that Ben Affleck will also direct 'The Batman,' which is scheduled for release in 2018.
Before the world sees Affleck as the Dark Knight, he will first appear as a mild-mannered accountant with a dark secret in his upcoming film with Seth Lee.
'The Accountant' also stars Jon Bernthal, who was recently joined the cast of the Netflix series 'Daredevil.' Bernthal will play Frank Castle, better known as The Punisher, in the show's upcoming second season. Interestingly, Affleck has previously played Matt Murdoch in the 2003 'Daredevil' film.
'The Accountant' is directed by Gavin O'Connor and also features Anna Kendrick, J.K Simmons, Jeffrey Tambor and John Lithgow. The film is scheduled for release on January 29, 2016.
