"If it doesn’t come together in a way I think is really great I’m not going to do it."

Geoff Johns sucks at life and can't write. Is the reason.

I hope you included that in your video essay.

@crawley - "If the script isn't where I want it I'm not going to direct it" -Affleck

"Chris Terrio had been hired to rewrite the script"

"Ben Affleck drops out as director"

I'm guessing a lot of it was on WB but at the same time Ben was dragging his feet on this for a while.
