While Ben Affleck graces movie theaters nationwide in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Auburn's coaching staff has imagined a new identity for the Dark Knight.
Patrick Suddes, Auburn's new director of player personnel, sent a recruiting graphic to K.J. Britt on Friday depicting the Oxford linebacker as Batman with the tagline "Do you bleed?"
"Pat was like, 'You ready for some fire?'" Britt told AL.com "I was like, 'Yeah.' Then he texted it to me and I was like, 'Dang, bro. That's sweet.'"
Batman v. Superman received mostly negative reviews, but Britt enjoyed the flick, which has earned $835 million worldwide.
"I didn't see anything wrong with it," said the 6-foot-1, 217-pounder.
Britt, who plans to make his commitment in August, said Auburn remains his leader. The three-star prospect is ranked as the No. 24 inside linebacker in the 247Sports Composite.
This isn't the first time Auburn has referenced a popular movie in an attempt to recruit a prospect. The Tigers created a "Step Brothers" image featuring grad transfer Tyler Catalina and offensive line coach Herb Hand in February.
"Auburn sends me some crazy ones all the time," said Britt.
