Okay but so has Ben Affleck, most often hammered by poor directors (re: Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) or by poor screenplays (re: Paycheck). Really the only bad movies where I think he was a part of the problem were Jersey Girl and Surviving Christmas and the latter has more to do with the genre of movie than anything else.

Since then he's proven himself as a capable director in Gone Baby Gone and Argo and kicked some serious ass in the under appreciated 2010 movie The Town. Before Warner Bros. decided to build up their movieverse in movies, he was suggested as a director for The Justice League, which for all we know could still be the case come 2017 when that movie is set to be released. He's an Academy Award winner and on top of all of that he's already a fan of the source material, which we saw what happened last year with The Avengers.
