DC's next big movie to come out, after "Man of Steel" of course, is suppose to be "Justice League". With that, a director is trying to be sought out for it and many rumors have come up surrounding the film. One of the directors that came up a few weeks ago was Ben Affleck. It turns out though that this was ONLY A RUMOR!
When movies have big titles and a huge fan base such as "Justice League", rumors are definitely going to come up. The one's regarding Affleck weren't true at all; in fact he never was planning on directing the film! Now the rumor mill is spinning even more now with the big question...who will be direct the movie now since Affleck is definitely out? There have been several names popping up in regards to it.

| Guillermo Del Toro |

| Christopher Nolan |
 |
| Andy and Lana Wachowski |
At the moment, there is very little known who will be picked to direct. DC is trying to find a director that they know will bring audience to the theater's, and hopefully match up or blow Marvel's "The Avengers" out of the water (although in my opinion that will be extremely hard to do). Some of the names that have been thrown around are Christopher Nolan, Guillermo Del Toro, and also Zack Snyder. Even though it would be amazing, in my opinion, for Christopher Nolan to direct this anticipated film, it's an extremely slim change it would happen. Nolan is trying to break himself from "Comic" movies and has already said he is uninterested. Out of all those names, Guillermo Del Toro, in my opinion is the best to go with, but I doubt he would unless there were enough monsters in the script. For Zack Snyder, we all have to wait and see how "Man of Steel" does to determine whether or not DC decides to continue to do work with him. Two other names that have also been thrown around are Andy and Lana (formally Larry) Wachowski, who are the directors to "The Matrix" trilogy.
Who would be the best to direct "Justice League"? The answer to that really cannot be answered. Whoever will be picked though will have their work cut out for them. Like "The Avengers", the director will have a lot of characters to work with and will have to try to give screen time to each one. And as ScreenRant has said: "Justice League will need to be much more strategic in its approach to world building if it wants to be successful." If DC really wants to "one-up" Marvel with "Justice League", then the first thing they have to do is get the right direct that will put the time, effort, and care into the production just as Joss Whedon did for "The Avengers".
So what do you think? Should Affleck been picked to direct "Justice League", or are you as happy as me that bigger names that know what they are doing are being considered?
