So it's happened: Zack Snyder, perhaps best known for his movies 300 and the recent Superman reboot Man of Steel, has been officially confirmed as the director of an upcoming Justice League movie, a project he'll reportedly embark on as he sets about filming Batman Vs. Superman (you know, for time and budgetary reasons). This news, of course, isn't exactly unexpected - given the fact that Snyder helmed Man of Steel last year and was then hired to director Batman Vs. Superman, it only seemed inevitable that he'd be left in control of the third chapter in the saga. Thing is, just because Snyder directed Man of Steel and is going to direct Batman Vs. Superman, too, does it really mean he's the best choice for a Justice League movie? Granted, it makes sense from a continuity point of view, but has Snyder proved he has the chops to deliver on such a long-awaited project? After all, Man of Steel emerged as a relative disappointment, and Snyder's body of work isn't exactly consistent: has he ever made a truly brilliant film? Is there somebody else out there who could bring justice to a Justice League movie way better than Zack Snyder? Call us crazy, but our pick for a Justice League director would have been Batman himself. That's right: Ben Affleck, who has proved himself as a more than capable director over the past few years, and even took home an Oscar for doing so with his brilliant Argo in 2012. Affleck's obvious skills with both action, drama and ensemble casts show him as somebody primed to deliver on what will surely be such an extensive and complex film. And given that he would be in the movie, too, playing everyone's favourite superhero... well, that's just the icing on the cake, really. Who do you think would have made a better director for a Justice League movie? Let us know in the comments section below.
