Batman's Ben Affleck Buffing Up In Metro Detroit

ROYAL OAK (WWJ) - Production of Batman Vs. Superman is under way in the Detroit area -- and that means celebrity star sightings.

In this case, WWJ's Zahra Huber spotted the new Batman himself, Ben Affleck, working out on a treadmill at Fitness 19 in Royal Oak.

While he said he couldn't talk about the Batman movie, we were able to approach him walking out of the gym just a few minutes later. He was looking well-worn from the workout, wearing a dark gray shirt, and had salt and pepper hair. Affleck was looking very buff of course, I mean he has to, he's Batman!

Although we couldn't get him to give us an interview, he did stop for pictures.

By the way, Affleck's batmobile of choice was a black Ford Expedition - and of course, he was driving.
