A while ago, Matt Damon, who plays Jason Bourne, had claimed that Bourne would easily taken Batman down in a duel.

Damon is also set to play the lead in the upcoming Bourne film and his good friend Ben Affleck is set to play the part of Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Damon had challenged his good friend's character in an interview with E! News last year. "Jason Bourne would kick the s--t out of Batman-absolutely!" he said. "Batman's gotta take on Superman first. If he could beat him then maybe he could take on Jason Bourne."

Recently, E! News finally found the opportunity to get Affleck's response to this.

"Matt is going around saying this all over the place but not to my face," Affleck said. "But Matt can't even beat me up, never mind Batman. You know what I'm saying? He has a long way to go."

In an recent interview with Entertainment Weekly last month, Damon talked about working on Jason Bourne and dished a bit about where fans will find his character at the start of the film.

Talking to EW, Damon revealed that Jason will obviously be dealing with some conflict which causes him to come back, and this time around he remembers everything and who he is, but that doesn't spell resolution.

"Well I don't know how much I should say. [Laughs] We talked a lot about what state he should be in, and where we came to was that if you found him fat and happy and content, you don't really have a movie. So we talked about how at the end ofBourne Ultimatum, he gets his memory back and it kind of completed that identity journey for him," he said. "But does that complete things for the character or not? And the conclusion we came to is no - we find him in a very dark and tortured place. He's living with the same things as he was before, and then he goes to find Julia Stiles' character, who basically says, "Just because you remember everything, doesn't mean you know everything." So you find him in a place that's dark and unresolved."

Jason Bourne will release on July 29, 2016.
