Batman and that guy who sometimes acts in movies with Ben Affleck (incidentally, also a Batman) have made a car movie together.

Ford v Ferrari, starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon, is the perfect film for people who like fast cars and some healthy business rivalry.

Historically, films about cars aren’t always of the highest quality. I’m looking pointedly in the direction of the Fast And The Furious franchise.

According to WIRED, this film looks like it might be different.

Starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, it follows Ford’s attempt to break Ferrari’s dominance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most prestigious race in the sport, during the 1960s. Being the 60s, racing and developing cars was hugely dangerous and the rivalry between the two companies was especially bitter after Enzo Ferrari killed a proposed takeover of Ferrari by Ford at the last minute.

Roll film.

A definite tick for choosing the Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter for the soundtrack.

Ford v Ferrari hits cinemas November 15.
