Ben Affleck didn’t let Lego Batman steal his thunder at Comic-Con – he dropped in for a surprise appearance.
The Hollywood heartthrob played the superhero in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice and will be back in the batsuit in Justice League. He is also set to both direct and star in a standalone Batman movie.
The thousands of fans at the event in San Diego were stunned when Ben appeared at Warner Bros’ star-studded panel, alongside fellow directors including David Ayer and Zack Snyder.
The actor seemed to be overcome as he snapped a few pictures of the crowd for himself and told the audience: “This is kind of nerdy, but this is a big deal in my life. This is never going to happen again.”
Host Conan O’Brien joked: “I think this may happen for you again.”
Ben later returned to the stage in his actor role, alongside his Justice League co-stars.
The Lego Batman movie, featuring Will Arnett as the Caped Crusader, was among the other films to make a big splash at Comic-Con.
