Ben Affleck’s Directing Journey Faces Setbacks with DC Universe Commitments

Los Angeles, California – Ben Affleck‘s directing career has mainly focused on crime and thriller genres. However, he has missed opportunities to explore different styles in filmmaking.

Affleck was once set to direct a film in the DC Extended Universe. He cast as Batman, decided to step away from directing duties to concentrate on his role as the superhero caped crusader. This commitment meant he could not take on other projects, including an adaptation of a popular novel.

Affleck’s choices left fans wondering about what could have been, as they anticipate his next steps in both acting and directing.
