Why not? Affleck has made a name for himself as a quality director at the very least.

Daredevil was a long time ago.

Lord - does DC & Warner Bros. feel the need to try & out-scoop Marvel & Disney at every turn? Just because it got announced Joss Whedon has signed on to do Avengers 2, they just have to put out a news release about YET ANOTHER director interview for a JL movie(that could happen...someday)

🙄

Jealousy...it looks a lot like Lex Luthor.

I don't know if Ben Affleck is the right choice to direct a JL movie - though we should at least count on him never returning for another Daredevil. 😛 Which is fine by me. But it does demonstrate Warner Bros. strange obsession with only working with in-house directors (Christopher Nolan, Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck etc.), moving them around like pieces to match with projects. The fact Ben Affleck has a new film about to be released by Warner Bros...just a coincidence?

I mean, whatever happened to turning the JL project over to David Yates and the Harry Potter production crew, to finally get the wheels creaking?
That was news...for a minute, anyway.

Yeah, because Marvel never try to do the exact same thing when it comes to comics... Oh.

Ouch. 😛

Relax, it's not even confirmed yet. And there are a few directors you can say that with Marvel, but it worked out in the end. A script is already in the bag, all WB needs is a director. Ben would be a good fit.

well i just can;t see Affleck be the Flash or god forbid Bruce Wayb]ne/Batman, maybe John Jonzz and yeah he has been a pretty good director but this has major flop written all over it because I don;t think Affleck can handle $300 million dollars for a budget .. I might be wrong but this the way I feel right now

There is nothing confirmed that he will be a hero or even directing it. He's just going in for a talk and don't mention Daredevil, because he didn't direct that movie.

Ben Affleck is an actor/director, taking the lead role in films he directs; just like Clint Eastwood. So if he does this, who would he play...? 😖hifty:

He does it sometimes. If he does, I would be a little worried. He's not a bad actor, but I don't want him as a super hero. Director only. If he does play a super hero, he can be water boy.

yeah it certainly might be all talk at this point however if he is hired.. he will ruin it, IMO, I can't see him as Barry Allen/Flash, and please god no Bruce Wayne/Batman either.. the only role I could see him as would John Jonzz

He's just the director at this point. No acting. And if he is the director, this is what WB needs. He's solid and most of his movies have been a critical success.

yeah this is way bigger than his previous films if he gets it .. he'll be given $300 million to work with, he may not be able to handle it

You could have said the same thing about Brannag or Favreau, and look what they did?

Yeah, I would have never imagined Favreau directing any super hero movie, but he pulled it off very well. Ben Affleck is a better director than even Favreau. And I like Favreau a lot, especially his earlier movies, which are hilarious.

If I got to pick, after hearing Nolan say no, I think I'd approach JJ Abrams.

Peter Jackson being another option. The man knows how to handle a big cast and has an eye for making things feel epic. I just don't know if he'd translate well from complete fantasy to a more modern day story.

Not sure I'd trust Abrams, tbh.

Peter Jackson would knock it out of the park.

Why is that?

I thought he did well in Star Trek - especially in that he was essentially building a team like he'd have to do with Justice League.

If you want the movie to be popular, sure, I just worry that he'll be more flash than substance.
