He's a long-time comic book fan.

And Jon Hamm says he's interested in filling the cape of one of comics' most iconic characters: Batman.

The 47-year-old actor told In Depth on Wednesday that his involvement 'depends on the script'; as The Hollywood Reporter announced former Batman Ben Affleck was 'on the way out' of the role.

Pick me: Jon Hamm says he's interested in filling the cape of one of comics' most iconic characters: Batman

When asked about his interest in the genre, the Mad Men star told host Graham Bensinger, 'I am a huge comic book fan, always have been.'

'And I'm pretty knowledgeable about a lot of them.'

'And I like the genre, and I like when they're done well.'

The Baby Driver actor continued: 'I'd probably fit the suit. I'd have to work out a lot, which I don't love.

'But, I am sure there's an interesting version of that being out there.'

'And if they wanted to tap me on the shoulder and ask me to do it, why not?'

Hamm admitted he'd heard 'rumors' about himself filling the role 'since probably season one of Mad Men,' but that he's never actually been offered the part.

But one major road block to getting the job may have been removed with reports that a 'shake-up' at Warner Bros might see more than one superhero role recast.

THR reported on Wednesday that Ben Affleck, 46, is unlikely to return to the role he's filled in three movies now.

The Gone Girl star 'isn't expected to reprise his role for director Matt Reeves' forthcoming Batman stand-alone film' according to the publication.
