Ben Affleck, who has recently been cast as Batman in the upcoming 'Batman vs Superman', admitted that he has been tough while facing negative comments on the internet.

The 'Gone Baby Gone' star told Jimmy Fallon that though he is a "big boy," he was warned about the negative comments the fans would make over his casting, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Affleck revealed that he was told to not use the internet for a couple of days, but he did as soon as the cast was announced.

Affleck, who is married to Jennifer Garner, said that he doesn't understand how people can be so harsh without having seen the final piece, as he believes that judgement should be hold until the film comes out.

He added that the opinions matter only when one has seen the movie.
