One of the burning questions of Batman v Superman: will they shove the “I’m Batman” line into the film and continue to bludgeon its mangled corpse with an iron bat-fist until we all just plain can’t listen to it anymore? We’ve still got a bit of a wait to find out, but hopefully this Instagram video is evidence that Batfleck needed a different way to get it out of his system before the movie.

Maybe that’s a bit overdramatic, but so is Batman v Superman they really should let that line go unless they want to really commit to homage and camp. In the context of Batman’s current film outing, which decidedly won’t go that direction, it’s better left to an Instagram video from Affleck’s co-star in his upcoming film The Accountant, Seth Lee.
