Matt Damon Says BOURNE Would Kick The Living S**t Out Of BATMAN

Forget Batman v. Superman, have you considered Jason Bourne vs. the Dark Knight? Matt Damon has once again stated that he believes his Bourne could kick the living s**t out his buddy Ben Affleck's Batman.

It's no secret that Academy Award-winners Matt Damon (The Martian) and Ben Affleck (Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice) have been the best of friends since they were young kids growing up in the great city of Boston, but with both actors gearing up to star in films that feature their most iconic characters to date, it's only right to ask the age-old question: who would kick who's ass? Jason Bourne or the Batman?

Well, according to Damon, his Jason Bourne would have no problem dismantling Affleck's Batman whatsoever. When asked the question at the Toronto International Film Festival, while promoting his upcoming critically acclaimed release The Martian, Damon, with a big smile, replied: "Jason Bourne would kick the s--t out of Batman - absolutely!... Batman's gotta take on Superman first, if he could beat him, then maybe he could take on Jason Bourne." Now, those are some fighting words! To follow up on that, E! Online asked whether Damon had heard Affleck's Batman voice yet? Damon laughed and said: "I haven't been like, 'Come on, dude, just do it once,' I haven't asked him to talk Batman yet, but now maybe I will."

When further inquired about why he, himself, hadn't tackled any comic book superheroes yet, Damon had this to say: "I think they're kind of out of superheroes, Ben's going to be like the sixth or seventh Batman, so I don't think there's really any left. So I'm good. Jason Bourne is my superhero." Now, while we may know that there are still plenty of superheroes that could still be brought to life in the MCU and/or the DCEU, he does make a solid point, especially considering that almost all of the A-list and a good portion of prominent B-list superheroes have already been cast. Plus, with Jason Bourne's illustrious resume and another Bourne trilogy potentially on the horizon, he really doesn't need a superhero to tackle in the near future as like he said, his Bourne is already a superhero for the ages.

So what do you guys think? Bourne or Batman? Sound off with your thoughts below!

xXAVPXx - 9/13/2015, 9:21 AM

Matt Damon for Hush

speedyg33 - 9/13/2015, 9:22 AM

Damon would kick the shit out of affleck too.

MrMartyMarvel - 9/13/2015, 9:26 AM

He better not be able to kick the shit out of Affleck's Batman. I don't know what to expect for BvS, but I do expect one kickass Batman!

NightWatcher - 9/13/2015, 9:39 AM

Bourne: I'd beat the living s**t out of you Batman!

Batman: Pfft, I doubt it. I highly doubt it.

Bourne: Well fight me and let's find out!

Batman: No need.

Bourne: Why?

BigFoster - 9/13/2015, 9:42 AM

So Matt Damon as Hal Jordan

OptimusPrimeTime - 9/13/2015, 9:43 AM

Batman would take Bourne.

I'm [frick]ing Ben Affleck on this one.

marvelstudios - 9/13/2015, 9:44 AM

Anyone could be beat the Batman in the Dark Knight, but Ben Affleck's Batman seems like an entirely different beast.

WOuld be cool to see Matt Damon in a CBM.

BigFoster - 9/13/2015, 9:45 AM

Or perhaps a Batman villain

Two Face?

BlackIceJoe - 9/13/2015, 9:45 AM

I only see him beating Christian Bale's Batman, but comic book Batman would destroy him.

113 - 9/13/2015, 9:45 AM

Agreed Matt Damon, agreed.

Justsomenerd - 9/13/2015, 9:54 AM

haha, no. Batman would mop the floor with Bourne.

Damon is clearly trolling and having a bit of fun with his good friend Affleck. He does have a point that Bourne is essentially a super-hero.

Justsomenerd - 9/13/2015, 9:59 AM

Matt Damon should have been Aquaman. With his sense of humor, his box office appeal and his acting ability Aquaman would have been on solid ground. I am obviously still not sold on Khal Curry aka Aquabiker.

BlackStar25 - 9/13/2015, 9:59 AM

Matt underestimates the power of Prep Time....

Killuminatic - 9/13/2015, 9:59 AM

I wanted him to play Lex...

SimplyAz - 9/13/2015, 10:01 AM

Maybe he can play Tommy Elliot/Hush.

Although my first choice would be Simon Baker.

jj2112 - 9/13/2015, 10:03 AM

He's just joking!! He and Affleck are friends, didn't you see Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? Some people on this site just don't get anything.
