Rumor: Warner Bros. wanted BEN AFFLECK to play Batman in ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ flick. No, just no.

Hayyy! I’m totally Team Ben Affleck Is Talented, and this news still makes my skin crawl. The Dark Lords that Be at Warner Bros. didn’t just want Ben Affleck to direct the Justice League flick. Oh no. They also wanted him to play Batman. You can be surprised at the miscasting, or you can remember that these fucking mongoloids thought Ryan Reynolds would be a great Green Lantern. The choice is yours.

Nothing has done more for Ben Affleck‘s acting career in the post-Gigli era than his transformation into a respected filmmaker. Case in point: After the failure of Daredevil, it seemed unthinkable that Affleck could ever tackle a major superhero movie again. Now, however, a rumor indicates that Warner Bros. not only wanted him to directJustice League, it also wanted him to star in the role of Batman. Hit the jump to keep reading.

Latino Review revealed the factoid in a tweet.

El Mayimbe doesn’t say where he got the intel, and the almost-casting hasn’t officially been confirmed by anyone. That said, Latino Review has been solid with their Justice League scoops — remember, they were the first to reveal the villain and the superhero lineup — so I’m inclined to trust them.
