One of the first comments Ben Affleck read in regards to his recent casting as the new Batman was an extended version of the word "no." Fortunately for Affleck, he could care less about what type of feedback he gets from Batman fans.

The 41-year-old actor-director spoke to Jimmy Fallon about the negative feedback he's been receiving last night's "Late Night." What began as a conversation about Affleck's children quickly turned into the much-anticipated Batman subject. 

"[Your kids] have to be psyched, 'cause Daddy's going to be Batman now," Fallon said. Affleck quickly responded by telling the story of how he was first cast as Batman, and admitted that he was skeptical when Warner Bros. first called him up and offered him the role. He's set to star alongside Henry Cavill in the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel, directed by Zack Snyder.

"I thought, 'I'm not 25 man and are you sure about this?' And they said, 'Come down we want to show you what we're doing,' and it was incredible," Affleck said. 

He mentioned that Warner Bros. had prepared him for a negative response and told him that the process can be "trying" and to stay off the Internet.

"I'm a big boy," he said he told the studio. "I handle sh-t. ... I'm very tough. So I saw the announcement and I look on [the Internet]. I look on the first comment. It's like "Ben Affleck is going to be Batman." The first one just goes, "'Nooooooooooooooooo!'" 

The untitled sequel is set to be released sometime in 2015. "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston has also been cast as Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor. 

If I'm being honest, I'm not a Batman superfan and I could care less about who plays the Caped Crusader. Affleck seems like a perfectly fine choice for me, as I enjoyed his performances in both "Argo" and "The Town." ("Pearl Harbor" not so much). While the internet can continue to hate on Affleck as the new Batman, nobody will be able to say anything that's true about his performance until the film is released.
