While filming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Ben Affleck visited The University of Michigan’s football complex this week, Michigan Live reported. After working out in the Michigan State Spartans’ weight room for more than an hour (because he’s Batman), Affleck surprised the team by making an announcement during their practice.

Addressing the players on the practice field, Affleck pronounced, “I’m Batman.” Affleck delivered a brief speech afterward, telling the Spartans to “take care of business” at their football game against Indiana this weekend.

Good luck, Indiana. You’re going to need it against a Batman-backed football team.
