Varietyn mukaan Ben Affleck ei ohjaa tulevaa Warner Brosin Batman-elokuvaa. Mies häärii silti kulisseissa tuottajan roolissa. Toistaiseksi siis raina on vailla vetäjää, mutta Affleck ja Warner Bros ovat jo työn touhussa korvaajan löytämiseksi.
Alta voit lukea Ben Affleckin lausunnon ohjausnakista kieltäytymisestä englanniksi.
"There are certain characters who hold a special place in the hearts of millions. Performing this role demands focus, passion and the very best performance I can give. It has become clear that I cannot do both jobs to the level they require. Together with the studio, I have decided to find a partner in a director who will collaborate with me on this massive film. I am still in this, and we are making it, but we are currently looking for a director. I remain extremely committed to this project, and look forward to bringing this to life for fans around the world".
