Ben Affleck Set to Direct the Next Batman Movie

It´s official comic-book fans everywhere: The first Batman movie since Chris Nolan´s trilogy will feature Ben Affleck as a co-writer and director. 

Good news is, Affleck will be aided by co-writer Geoff Johns,  a DC's chief creative who has been involved in DC´s comic books before such as Justice League, The Flahs and Batman.

Rumour has it that the plot of the film will pick up after the events happening in Batman vs Superman and the upcoming Justice League movies. So expect it sometime after 2017.

In the meantime, do you guys think Affleck will be a good choice?
