Fire up the Batmobile!

Ben Affleck is set to direct and star in a stand-alone Batman movie, Deadline reports. The hunky actor will team up with DC Comics’ chief creative officer, Geoff Johns, for the new film after his flicks Live By Night and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hit theaters.

The Oscar winner is throwing himself into work in the wake of his split with wife Jennifer Garner. The Boston hunk is scheduled to appear at Comic-Con in San Diego this Saturday to promote his action movie and sign autographs with the rest of the cast.

We can't wait to see him in the bat suit!
