'Justice League' Promotes Ben Affleck to Executive Producer

Deadline reports that WB has promoted Affleck to executive producer on Justice League, for which he’ll reprise the role of Bruce Wayne / Batman opposite Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and Henry Cavill’s Superman.

In another bit of news that lends credence to the rumors of tension between Zack Snyder and Warner Bros., Ben Affleck has been officially promoted from mere Batman to Executive Producer-Man on Justice League.

Between the solo Batman project and the recent Justice League promotion, it looks as though WB has a little more faith in Affleck than they do in Snyder, whose Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice underperformed at the box office and received largely negative reviews.
