The cultural impact of Conor McGregor has now stretched into the world of silver screen superheroes.

That revelation came after new Batman, Ben Affleck, said that McGregor’s style influenced his take on the Caped Crusader.

What makes Affleck’s Batman more notorious than previous incarnations is his fighting style, with the actor telling Reuters, “He’s a bit more of a brawler, more physical.

“You get a feeling of a physical, visceral, slugger thing.

“The fights are a little more like smashmouth, UFC-influenced, Conor McGregor style.”

Whether Affleck has the UFC skills to back up his McGregor comparison will be seen when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is released this Friday.
