January 30, 2014: Will Ben Affleck Direct a Justice League Movie?

Superman/Batman Movie An interesting article on Forbes.com collects together all the latest rumors and speculation on the upcoming follow-up to "Man of Steel", and discusses the possibility of Ben Affleck directing a Justice League movie on the back of his role in the Superman/Batman film.

    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?

    This is a project Affleck was previously offered, after all, and he was their top choice at the time. Additionally, the schedule could make it hard for Snyder to helm both films. And a big hint might've come from the news this week that Affleck has pulled out of directing The Middle Man pilot - and if that was merely due to his role in Batman vs. Superman, why did it take this many months for him to withdraw, since shooting for the movie has actually barely been delayed at all (and it still has a shot at starting on time after all, it seems)? Perhaps Affleck's schedule is being rearranged to make room for a Justice League directing job.
