Ben Affleck has just been announced as director and
co-screenwriter for a future Batman movie, date yet to be determined. Now every
movie fanatic can say they foresaw the future. It was just way too obvious after
Affleck was casted. He was originally offered to direct the Justice League
movie along with the role way before he was ever officially announced as
Batman.
Who could blame WB? His third
directed movie wins the Oscar for Best Picture, after the whole tinsel town
agrees he was snubbed from the Best Director race. And don’t forget he was one
half of the screenwriting duo that brought you Good Will Hunting, required
reading in my college screenwriting class. They get a rising director and a
good-looking chiseled jaw in one package.
I must say I’m much more pleased with
this announcement than his casting in the DC universe. While his acting chops
can range from intriguing to highly questionable at times, his ability to know
what makes a good movie has been evidently proven in GWH and Argo. And maybe we
can finally get Matt Damon as Two-Face like Christopher Nolan originally
dreamed of.
