Ben Affleck confirmed as director of solo Batman movie

Everybody probably expected it but it's good to finally have a confirmation. Also it's awesome to see all the DC directors assemble in Hall H, now we just need an announcement for the Cyborg, Shazam, GL and MoS 2.

Bump

Pretty damn cool.

This was confirmed quite awhile ago. I know I'm excited.

Can we PLEASE get Shazam news?!

RIP DCEU

This... this sooo much....

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's like they let twitter pick this line up.

@petey_is_spidey: I get they're focusing on JL, but damn, we have gotten NOTHING since the Rock blabbed about his role.

This is old news. We knew this before the panel.

Lmao what?

Wasn't this confirmed months ago? And when are we going to get some GL and Shazam news?

Fantastic.

@the_stegman: The Rock has been in talks to play Black Adam since like 2006. I'd be surprised to see any Shazam news.

I shouldn't be hyped but I am. For all the faults of DC's movies, Batman has been a saving grace. Well, a saving grace sometimes ;).

Wasnt this pretty obvious and didnt Afflek confirm this months ago? What about Shazam or GL?

i want John Stewart as Green Lantern for Justice League.

And let me just say about that news...

@jumpstart55: @king_nomarch: @darthaznable: @Flickerblink: He was confirmed as the writer of the movie but he was never confirmed as the director of the movie iirc although yeah this isn't a surprise but it's nice to have a official confirmation.

?????????

Agreed.

It's been confirmed and alluded to for months now.

It was alluded but never blatantly confirmed I think. I checked before making this thread and everyone was running this story as the official confirmation,
