Matt Damon: ‘Jason Bourne would kick the s–t out of Batman’ – true?

2015 Toronto International Film Festival - "The Martian" Premiere
Matt Damon is at TIFF looking hotter than ever and promoting The Martian, which opens October 2. I really cannot wait for this film. Advance reviews are overwhelming positive and it should kill at the box office. (Plus Chiwetel Ejiofor is in it.) Damon’s wife, Luciana, looks incredible too. Do you think she got bolt ons (probably not, she’s always had great boobs) or does she just have some good lifts in there? I don’t have an ID on her dress but it’s possibly Naeem Khan as they’re close with the designer and she often wears his gowns at premieres.

One of the best quotes from Damon at TIFF came from his interview with E!, who asked him if Jason Bourne would be able to beat Batman in a fight. Damon says that Bourne would win easily.

Matt Damon thinks his alter-ego would have no problem taking down his best friend Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusader.

“Jason Bourne would kick the s–t out of Batman—absolutely!” Damon said with a big smile when I caught up with him at Toronto International Film Festival, where he was promoting The Martian (in theaters Oct. 2).

“Batman’s gotta take on Superman first,” he added. “If he could beat him then maybe he could take on Jason Bourne.”
Has Damon heard Affleck’s Batman voice?

“I haven’t been like, ‘Come on, dude, just do it once,'” Damon said with a laugh. “I haven’t asked him to talk Batman yet, but now maybe I will.”

Damon has never played a comic superhero, but he’s OK with that.

“I think they’re kind of out of superheroes,” Damon said. “Ben’s going to be like the sixth or seventh Batman, so I don’t think there’s really any left. So I’m good. Jason Bourne is my superhero.”

[From E! Online]

I have to agree with this. Batman has no specific powers and has to rely on gadgets while Bourne is a trained killing machine with an incredible amount of ingenuity. Team Bourne. I’m just waiting for Affleck to trash talk back, but you know he won’t. He’s too caught up in his media blitz to tweet smack to Damon.

Do you guys know that awesome YouTube channel Epic Rap Battles of History? My kid loves to watch it, and while I realize it’s wildly inappropriate, it has encouraged him to learn so much about pop culture and historical figures. (Much like Assassin’s Creed.) That’s what I was reminded of when I heard Matt Damon trashing Batman. We need an epic rap battle featuring Jason Bourne vs. Batman. Or Bourne vs. anyone really, screw Batman. (There’s already Batman vs. Sherlock Holmes nsfw and two of my other favorites are Steven Spielberg vs. Alfred Hitchcock nsfw and Bruce Lee vs. Clint Eastwood nsfw.)

Here’s Damon at a photocall with his costars Kate Mara and Jessica Chastain. He’s said that he really didn’t work closely with the other actors on The Martian (probably because most of his scenes were solo) except for Jessica in a few scenes. That could explain why they don’t look super chummy here. Jessica is in Lanvin while Kate’s jumpsuit is A.L.C. Jessica’s dress looks oddly furry to me but Kate is killing it in that jumpsuit with the little cutouts. I would wear that.

Also here’s that shirtless photo of Damon on the Bourne set again. This movie needs to be finished already.

    Obviously.

  2. aims says:

    Yeah I agree. Bourne is trained to do his thing, but batman relays on his gadgets.

    • Liv says:

      But Batman went through hard training too, didn’t he? I probably would go for Bourne too though! 🙂

  3. snakecharmer says:

    batman is hot when its like christian bale or val kilmer in the “olden days”…ben afflek? who cares… his bestie matt on the otherhand as jason borne is super hot

  4. Jayna says:

    Bourne doesn’t have the Batmobile, so no.

  5. smcollins says:

    #TeamBourne the whole way!

  6. Alex says:

    Yea I agree. Team Bourne. And Matt please never change.

  7. j.eyre says:

    Like a fine wine, Mr. D just gets better with age. Luciana looks beautiful in that pic.

  8. lower-case deb says:

    Jason Bourne would wipe the floor with Batman, but Alfred will take Bourne to the cleaners for harming his baby boy, and still be home in time to catch the latest episode of Midsomer Murders.

  9. Christine says:

    Batman is basically a genius who has excellent detective skills. He’s also incredibly strong and trained in martial arts, plus there’s the whole he’s a billionaire thing. His toys are pretty dang impressive (hello, Batmobile!), he has Robin, Batgirl, and Gotham PD to work with…

    Bourne would give him a run for his money, but ultimately I’m Team Batman.

  10. hellena says:

    Y’All obviously don’t have a clue about Batman, but since this is gossip blog, I’ll let you guys have a pass…;)

  11. mia girl says:

    “You wanna get nuts Bourne??
    LET’S GET NUTS!!”

  12. sassy says:

    oh Matt i so would……cute and funny my Kryptonite……and yah Bourne > Batman anyday

  13. Ankhel says:

    Um, no! I love you Matt, but you’re being ridiculous.

    Bourne’s strength is training and experience, but even he wouldn’t be prepared for a costumed guy sailing down from rooftops. Too much crazy to handle.

  14. Biqa says:

    The way the skin looks on the right boob makes me think boltons. Just me.

    Also, bourne trumps batfleck.

    • Camilla L-M says:

      +1 They look totally fake

    • KB says:

      I think it may actually be a really bad bronzing job. Look at the left side (her right) you can see where makeup appears to curve at the bottom above where her breast actually curves. It’s like they didn’t get it low enough.

  15. Abbott says:

    Bolt ons. You can see what appears to be a scar.

    • KB says:

      I don’t think that’s a scar, I think that’s where her breast is sagging, below the bronzer that makes it look like her breast curves where it actually doesn’t. Not sure since this is the only photo though.

    • Sarah says:

      They do the incision right under the boob so you’d never see it unless she were topless and holding them up

  16. Trovel says:

    Bourne would shoot Batman from a mile away and move on to the next town.

  17. serena says:

    Team Bourne! Mostly because I’m just so sick of superheroes movies, I can’t watch anymore.. ENOUGH! Especially if it’s with Ben Affleck.. ugh.. dude lost all his sex-appeal to me.

  18. The other paige says:

    Women come and go but The BROMANCE lives on….

  19. Janet says:

    Lucy’s dress is by Michael Costello (Project Runway alum).

  20. danielle says:

    Batman > Bourne.

  21. Maria A. says:

    I don’t know. Batman has all his gadgets, but all Bourne needs is a rolled up magazine.

  22. Jess says:

    Please, please do a post on Damonsplaining tomorrow. Damon has finally dug himself into a hole and I’m now more disgusted by him then by Ben.
