Warner Bros. Want Ben Affleck To Direct Justice League Film

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Lets not forget he wrote Good Will Hunting

I like his style tho, his movies aren't big explosive blockbusters, they're more low key and id prefer that to something like Avengers.

There is nothing low key about the Justice League though. They assemble to face and defeat major threats to the planet. Unless you want Super powered heroes to battle street criminals, then their powers wouldn't even be properly showcased, which would be a waste of a movie. If you want to see their powers against a viable threat, then there's bound to be plenty of blockbuster effects.

There shouldn't be anything low key about a movie revolving around a team of ridiculously super powered heroes. There was nothing wrong with how Whedon handled Avengers, that shyt was great. And the way Ben shot the chase and shoot out scenes in the town gives me confidence that he'll be able to direct some quality action scenes. But I'll be highly disappointed if he takes a franchise like the the Justice League and turns it into the Good Shepherd.

Affleck Da Gawd?

Exactly. I see no problem with this. I'm more worried about Snyder with the MOS than I would be with Afleck directing a JL movie.

Yeah, Snyder is more of a style over substance type. Only movie I liked from him was the Dawn of The Dead remake.

I have more faith in Affleck for a JL film. I wish him the best of luck though, that movie is gonna be hard to sell.

I'm just saying an Affleck movie would have substance to it. It wouldn't just be a blockbuster with shyt getting blown up, it'd be more like Nolan's Batman movies than it would Avengers.

I'm the same way but there has been movies that flipped that on me. Namely The Raid Redemption and Hard Boiled.

My initial reaction was "Oh HELL nah!!" But like other people have said, he's actually a good director. But I thought I saw somewhere that they wanted him to star in it? That's a no-go.

Gone Baby Gone and the Town are very good movies.

Argo looks like another good one.

Checking these out soon, i never knew Affleck directed a few (good) flicks. This may be a blessing in disguise if so..

Edit: In the process of acquiring these as we speak

Those two are his only full length movies, he wrote and directed both and both were critically acclaimed.

I could only realistically picture him doing Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Even that'd be a bit iffy, but he probably could pull it off. He'd be an upgrade on Ryan Reynolds though, by default.

Actually just watched the Town toward for the second time before news leaked... Good flick. Gone Baby Gone is even better IMO, gotta get that on blu ray and rewatch.

I could see Ben as The Flash
