Ben Affleck may have hung up the cape in Hollywood — but he’s still Batman in his son’s eyes.
The actor turned Easter Sunday into a heroic father-son outing with 13-year-old Samuel, his son with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The duo was spotted shopping around Los Angeles, making stops at World Market and the popular collectibles store BAIT, where Ben was seen loading a pricey DC Batman Hush BE@RBRICK figure (valued at over $400) into his ride.
Affleck Channels Batman — Minus the Batsuit Sweat
Though Affleck has previously said he “hated every second” of wearing the hot, claustrophobic Batsuit during his time in the Justice League films, he clearly doesn’t mind revisiting the Bat-legacy for his son’s sake. And this time, no heat exhaustion necessary.
Photos show the Oscar winner juggling shopping bags like a pro, soaking up the sun, and sharing smiles with Samuel — clearly embracing his true superpower: being a devoted dad.
A Heroic Easter, Affleck Style
While Ben may not be keen on ever stepping back into Gotham’s shadow for another Batman role, he’s clearly not letting that stop him from keeping the superhero dream alive for Samuel. From toy hauls to quality bonding time, Affleck proves that fatherhood is his most rewarding role yet.
