10 Things You Can Expect From Ben Affleck's Batman Movie

10. A Film Driven By Performance

Like so many of the great actors-turned-directors, as an actor himself Ben Affleck knows how to get great performances when he's wielding the megaphone. The proof so far has been in the pudding: across his first three films as a filmmaker, Affleck has directed three separate actors to (deserved) Oscar nominations. A director's talent for getting the best out of the actors is something The Batman could presumably use after Batman V Superman, which will no doubt - as a Zack Snyder film, following his own action-heavy Man Of Steel - be driven by effects and set-pieces rather than performance. Not that anyone should expect a Batman movie to be light on action and heavy on acting displays. Rather, a Batman movie directed by Ben Affleck should regard the acting as important as everything else, and not as what occasionally seems like an afterthought. Ben Affleck's The Batman would see the acting complement the plot and the action, rather than just operate as the boring bit in between all the explosions.
