According to the newest episode of Heroic Insider, hosted by Hollywood producer Daniel Alter (The Apparition, Hitman: Agent 47) and Heroic Hollywood's Umberto  'ElMayimbe' Gonzalez, DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and Oscar winner Ben Affleck will have "complete creative control" over the solo Batman film.  Which logically indicates that Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Charles Roven or any other frequent DCEU overseer has no say on what Johns and Affleck ultimately cook up.  Alter and Gonzalez further report that Affleck is taking the lead and Johns is more of a consultant, providing necessary references to comic book lore and not necessarily shaping the story.  

After months of speculation, WB recently confirmed that Affleck will indeed star, write and direct the solo Batman film.  The film is currently without a release date but Warner Bros. has snagged two dates in 2018 and 2019 for future DCEU installments.  It's probable that one of those dates will be given to the standalone Batman film.

@Superspecialawesomeguy -

Hopefully Johns has learned a lot since his last movie. He was a co-producer on Green Lantern and was blamed for a lot of the movies problems by those who worked on the film.

@Magus - In Ben I trust. SO even with Johns I got a lot of hope.

Geoff johns isn't the best batman writer they could have gotten Scott Snyder or someone who's dabbled in movie script or any medium of things like that to help Ben I would have chosen Paul Dini or Scott Snyder

@SuperbatSpider1003 - I doubt Johns did any actual writing. He most likely just threw out ideas while Ben wrote the script.
