Many DC fans swear by Christian Bale's Batman. So when Ben Affleck took over the black cape, it did not go well with Batman followers. Taking cue from the criticism, folks at the Red Nose Day decided to make fun of the situation and introduce Affleck voicing Bale's Batman.

Red Nose Day is a comic relief British charity organised to raise awareness about different issues troubling the world and calling in donations to help people. Organised in a telethon format, celebrities participate in videos to encourage people to donate. Affleck participated in the Batman clip this year, letting a young boy take a dig at him.

The special clip that premiered on NBC on May 25 shows a young Batman fan who wishes to see Affleck recreate the magic of Dark Knight for him. The actor is then seen toning down his voice to his famous Batman voice to articulate, "Your wish is my command." The voice is heard in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and now in Justice League.

But the kid wasn't happy with the new Batman. The boy requests the actor to imitate Christian Bale's Batman. "No! Do it the way Christian Bale does it," he says.

Worried with the request, a stressed Affleck attempts to replicate the legendary Batman's voice. The alteration in his voice doesn't please the child, (many fans weren't happy either) and he exclaims that he would rather have Bale to do it. Ouch!

A visibly pissed Affleck tells the boy, "Well, he's not available so..."

Many fans found themselves saying the same statement as the boy.

Talking about his experience of recreating the Cape Crusader for the special cause, Affleck told People that he had fun doing the short clip. "It's a lot of fun. Batman is such a serious, heavy character; there is the temptation to be funny about it, or at least be self-aware. I really enjoy it. Obviously it is a character that means a lot to a lot of people and I'm having fun playing it," Affleck shared.
