Ben Affleck now credited as executive producer for ‘Justice League’ films

Warner Bros. is praying Ben Affleck can save this.

The DC cinematic universe is a mess right now. Directors are dropping out of projects, movies are failing, and Marvel is kicking ass with Captain America: Civil War. One of the few things people actually like about this movie universe is Ben Affleck, so it makes sense when Warner Bros tries to slap his name on as many things as they possibly can.

Deadline has reported that Warner Bros. has made The Dark Knight himself an executive producer on the Justice League films. He will help Zack Snyder and screenwriter Chris Terrio on polishing the script and other behind the scenes stuff.

Ben Affleck has a lot of experience working on films behind the scenes, even getting some award show recognition. He has worked on critically acclaimed films such as Argo and Good Will Hunting. The question is, can Ben Affleck save this franchise or is it too far down the rabbit hole? We will find out when Justice League Part 1 releases November 17th, 2017.
