True that...seemed like a great match though. Johns having the deep comic knowledge and Affleck knowing the "type" of story he wanted to tell.
I've heard (and this is just pure speculation) that Ben's Batman script would have been a little more confined and more of a thriller type style.
With all the uncertainty around DC/WB and the need for this to be the righting of the ship so to speak - I could see the studio pushing for something more bombastic and tentpole(ish) and directing/writing that just wasn't in BA's wheelhouse.
Again - all speculative...but I can see that being a true thing.
