Unexpected reports earlier this month had suggested that The Town director/actor Ben Affleck was on Warner Bros's radar to helm their long-awaited Justice League big screen treatment. However, it wasn't too long before separate reports claimed that Affleck's camp had declined the studios' offer. And now, while recently chatting with the Canadian press, via 24 Hours, Ben further dismissed his involvement with the DC superhero team-up.

“I'm not working on the Justice League. One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that's how rumours get started. Justice League sounds really exciting, but it's not something I'm working on.”

I hope he's not. A person who was embarrassed to be playing a comic book character, shouldn't direct a movie about a team of them

Why does need to clarify anything, if hes not directing it hes no directing it, dont get back at the media, they half never know what the [frick] theyre talking about anyway.

But as far as the JL, i just hope they dont rush anything just trying to compete, take your time DC. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!

Thank God... I don't know why everybody got so excited about it. I mean, he's a good director, but for JUSTICE LEAGUE? No.
Besides, the Justice League movie is pretty much doomed.. I'm not a Marvelite, I'm just being realistic.

I think either

-JJ ABRAMS
-ZACK SNYDER (if MOS is a success)
-CLINT EASTWOOD (maybe)

would be other good choices.

I pity the idiot who takes the job directing those cheesy collection of old superheroes.

Ya WB could just have Snyder direct it... He showed that he can direct a team up movie with Watchman and large scale shit with Sucker Punch

Hes gonna have MOS under his belt why not invite the rest of the superfriends?

Still Don't get the hype over the town, or gone baby gone

But i think a JL movie would be huge success if put in the right direction and not looked at as just a comic book movie.

What's with the sad Ben picture. You're assuming he's sad. That's how rumors start.

Hopefully this movie will see "JUSTICE" (get it) no, who cares, anyway, anyone who has doubts about this movie, just give it a chance, i mean if MOS makes a shitload of money and good reviews this can really bethe start of something BEAUTIFUL.

Hey now, just because Affleck isn't doing it doesn't mean it's not happening. Have faith. I hope they base it off of Infinite Crisis, but I know that's never going to happen.

Jollem, amen to that. You cant tell me somebody knew who the AVENGERS/IRON MAN/CAPT.AMR/THOR was 5-6 years ago, everyone knows who the JL/SUPERMAN/BATMAN/WW/FLASH is. Hell, even my 2 year-old god brother knows who SUP/BAT is. NO SHADE TO MARVEL
KingG
KingG - 8/24/2012, 8:36 PM
But still the Avengers comments appear. HUH! my life
KingG
KingG - 8/24/2012, 8:51 PM
Jollem, right, thats exactly my point, i dont think JL is better than Avengers, cuz both are great comic books by the way, (just prefer JL/DC) i just think they have more street cred. JL are my idols. So it is what it is.

mawilli4 - 8/24/2012, 8:57 PM
@jollem I may be in the minority. But I've been reading comics since I was 6 (~17 years) and I've always been a Cap fan. Iron Man, Thor? Not so much. But Cap yes. Probably because I used to watch the old movie on TV when I was like 4. my 1st comic was Cap # 287 with Deathlok. still have it. <3

The town was great and I though he was a great Dardevil as well. I think he would do justice to the justice league film lol (Pun intended)

Ive kicked DC's ass plenty of times but i feel theyre trying. And at least were getting a JL movie, i feel spin-offs of the characters will be just as good as a build-up, we already know the JL's origins so why would we need an origin story of characters we've already seen 300,000 times.
KingG
KingG - 8/24/2012, 9:05 PM
SunSp0t, i tried that joke and it didnt even work for me, story of my life.

mawilli4 - 8/24/2012, 9:05 PM
@KingG AGREED! They need to do it like the DCAU and just produce individual stories, don't state if they're in continuity or not. Have the crossovers, etc. It would be fantastic. Keep actors, etc.
