Ben Affleck and his actress wife Jennifer Garner stopped off at Detroit Kid City in Southfield, Michigan, and asked if they and their two-year-old son Samuel could join the fun.

The actor who plays the caped crusader in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film has surprised and delighted a group of children by dropping in on their superhero party.

The Detroit Free Press said the family welcomed the visitors. Affleck is in Detroit for the filming of the Warner Bros movie, set to be released in May 2016.
