Ben Affleck has officially retired as Batman, and the actor confirmed it personally on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Affleck appeared on Jimmy Kimmel last night and Jimmy began by asking him about the reports and announcements that he will no longer be playing Batman, a role he has played since 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

In car form, the Ecto 1 looks incredible, almost to the point of not looking like a Transformer at all. In Ectotron form, he wields a proton pack and the set includes a translucent Slimer.
