Ben Affleck is Helping to Develop Justice League

Hence, the decision to have Affleck serve a larger creative role on Justice League Part One reads as being a good compromise solution to the problem of how to respond to the criticisms of Snyder’s DCEU films (Man of Steel and Batman V Superman) without simply kicking Snyder out of the Justice League director’s chair.

Sites such as Batman-News have recently reported that there have been tensions between Snyder and Warner Bros. Pictures executives over the creative direction on Justice League (following the overall polarizing reception for Batman V Superman), which may explain Affleck being recruited to help out on the film behind the camera.

It’s now being reported that Affleck will be lending Snyder and screenwriter Chris Terrio (who co-penned Batman V Superman) a helping hand behind the camera on the in-production Justice League Part One (in addition to reprising his role as the Caped Crusader), by serving in an executive producer capacity.
