“The Dark Knight” franchise was used as inspiration for the “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” production, according to Ben Affleck.

Affleck stopped by MTV News recently to speak about his upcoming film “Gone Girl,” set to debut in theaters Oct. 3. However, it didn’t stop the outlet from attempting to probe Affleck regarding his Batman role.

Though Affleck refused to give up details about “Batman vs. Superman,” the actor did admit director Zack Snyder’s vision was influenced by Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Night” trilogy.

“I will say that I think Zack was heavily influenced by that ['Dark Knight Returns'],” Affleck told MTV. “I think everyone’s heavily influenced by that. It’s the seminal work, right? I don’t think there’s any of these [Batman movies] that have been made without drawing from that book because it’s so good. And I think if you’re smart, you steal from the best.”

The world might be interested in Affleck’s Batman portrayal, but his three children could care less about him donning the Batsuit.

Affleck also stopped by “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, where he explained to the show how little his two daughters and son care about his DC role.

"If I was doing the sequel to 'Frozen,' I would be a hero. My two older daughters could give a s--t about Batman,” Affleck said.

"They love 'Frozen.' And the indignity is so great that they have now passed that affection onto my [son Samuel, 2]. He's like, 'Papa, can I watch "Frozen"?' and I'm like, 'No, dude! It's not on again!' So, I've been looking for different versions, like littler, compressed 'Frozen.'”
