ThoughBen Affleckmaintains he wasn’t approached aboutJustice League, speaking toAin’t It Cool News, he said he would love to direct a superhero movie:

I wasn’t approached about JUSTICE LEAGUE, although I do think the SUPERMAN teaser looked badass. I think it’s really the right tone. I think it looked great. I would love to do a movie like that of some kind. I’d love to play with all of the toys that you get when you get to spend that kind of money to build images of that scale. One of my favorite filmmakers is Ridley Scott–ALIEN, BLADE RUNNER–that kind of thing where you’re taking a look and you’re building a world and you’re also combining it with a very grounded story. That’s very appealing to me, so I don’t know. If you guys have any 3D epics, let me know.
