“I spoke with Ben for 10 or 15 minutes and he was very pleased with the facility. He was very interested in getting a Detroit Kid City out in L.A.,” he said. “He said they had a blast and will definitely be in contact with us.”

It was almost perfect karma that Affleck, who plays Batman in the upcoming Warner Bros. movie, showed up. The kids' party he crashed had a Superman theme.

Parents, this begs the question:

  • Where else in southeast Michigan should the celebrity couple take Samuel while they’re in town?
