Ben Affleck verkar vackla fram och tillbaka en hel del när det kommer till hans roll som Batman i DC:s filmuniversum, vare sig det handlar om bakom eller framför kameran. Nu har han dock uttalat sig i en intervju med Dailysabah om att han faktiskt är intresserad av att regissera en Batman-film, bara det att han inte fått ett tillräckligt bra manus ännu. Han pratar även om karaktären generellt i filmuniversumet och hur han ser på Batmans framtid:
"I like this version of Batman a lot. It was a lot to carry around the danger of being angry and resentful of Superman the whole time, which led to a darker tone. And with this one, Batman is not a Joker and is not as funny, but is hilarious, as the straight man to Flash and other people. That's a nice dynamic to get to play off of somebody and have a little bit more irony and have a little bit more self-awareness, a little bit more fun with the movie. That was great."
"For me, it's interesting, and I always evaluate this stuff on the merit of the material. I want to direct a Batman movie, and I never got a script that I was happy with, so they are starting over and writing another script. And right now, I think a lot of different possibilities I think for the way the DC Universe could go, and I will just follow my interests in pursing that. And I know that I love working with this group of people, and it was a real joy for me to make this movie."
