We all know that Ben Afleck turned down the Justice League project before Zack Snyder and David Goyer had a new vision on how the DC Cinematic Universe should pan out, hence Warner's shelving Will Beall screenplay

Ben Affleck has already bought his own writers on board and now Forbes writer Mark Hughes has his own speculation that our new Batman will be given the roles to direct WB biggest tent pole movie, the Justice league movie.
'Having Ben Affleck aboard was doubly valuable, not only for his acting skills and popularity but also for his writing and directing abilities. As an Oscar-winning screenwriter and producer, and someone widely acknowledged as having been snubbed for a Best Director Oscar nomination (for Argo, and I also personally think he should’ve also been nominated for Gone Baby Gone), he is one of the finest directors in cinema today.
So, the question is, with Snyder directing Batman vs. Superman, will he be able to do months of post-production on that film and still get started on a Justice League movie in time for it to get finished and released within a year of Batman vs. Superman? Or should we start discussing the possibility that Warner might be negotiating with Ben Affleck to direct Justice League'

So what do you think, Do you want Ben Afleck to direct the Justice League movie?

HUH! Duh!!!!!! We all knew this was going to happen, and this is the reason for the delay of the release date.

Although I would love for this to be true I just dont see it happening. I think if they shoot back to back it will be Snyders baby. Big Ben will most likely direct the batman movies

@ MexicanSuperman

I actually see Ben Affleck doing the JL and Snyder overseeing the whole DCCU and doing MOS and maybe another character in my opinion. If this turns out to be true and I hope it is, it is only good news. It is good news because that means they can bring in other talented directors and writers etc......

Ideally I would like to see him or David Yates direct Justice League. Don't need more quantity over quality.

@ SuperCat

What I am personally hoping and of course I know this is a pipe dream, but a Snyder/Aflec directed JL movie!!!!!!

I could live with that combo!

@ GlodenOne

Huh! Were you not trolling on other articles saying that Ben was going to be replaced or he was quitting?

@GoldenOne: No one said straight up that Snyder was directing Justice League. It was just assumed, especially if rumors are to be believed and they are shooting BVS and JL back to back.

I would love Afleck to direct the JL and solo Batman movies.

I approve!! Just don't let Snyder and Goyer near it. Affleck has proven himself to be a great director.

I really don't want Snyder directing the Justice League. Let somemone else do it.

BlackIceJoe - 1/31/2014, 8:48 AM
I see him doing the solo Batman movie more. The reason why if B/S and JL are being filmed back to back it would be a pain to switch directors for the next film.

I want Affleck directing, Cavill writing it, Gadot editing, Momoa behind the camera, Whoever they cas as Green Lantern making the music, Whoever they cast as Flash doing the CGI.

That would be a real Justice league movie.

@niklander you could have Affleck writing & Snyder directing... Zack is way better when he has a good script in his hands.

Storywize, i have no problem with Affleck. But can he handle the action and effect that is a must for a movie like Justice Leauge?

Very good news. He'll bring some good drama to the movie.

With Zack Snyder's action. This should be an awesome flick.

im sure between all these guys Snyder Affleck goyer terrio (who ever else Affleck gets) has some big stuff planned it will take a lot of time though
(warners isn't a comic book movie studio) like marvel

staypuffed - 1/31/2014, 1:29 PM
I'd love him to direct Justice League. More so than Snyder, who I still really like.

Over Zack Snyder's dead body. Affleck might write it though and get Goyer over to Wonder Woman to keep him distracted on his own project. I just don't see Snyder handing over the key to the city after building it from scratch.
