Ben Affleck not working on Justice League

Well, it was a beautiful idea while it lasted.

Ben Affleck has told Canadian press that he is not working on Warner Bros’ upcoming Justice League team-up flick, though he admits it “sounds really exciting.”

“One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that’s how rumours get started.”

Who, us?

From the moment Affleck was suggested as a prospective helmer, conflicting reports emerged as to how deeply involved he actually was.

WB is undeniably still on the hunt for someone to bring Will Beall’s script – in which Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and The Flash join forces – to life.

Discuss: Can you think of any other directors that might be good for the gig?
