Ben Affleck Says He Wasn't Fired As Director Of Batman- Uh Huh
Ben Affleck says the decision for him to step down as the director for the Batman standalone movie for Warner Bros is mutual.
In a statement Monday, Affleck said it "has become clear that I cannot do both jobs to the level they require" and that he and the studio are looking for a new director.
"There are certain characters who hold a special place in the hearts of millions," Affleck said in the statement. "Performing this role demands focus, passion and the very best performance I can give."
The studio in a statement said that it "fully supports" his decision and "remains committed to working with him to bring a standalone Batman picture to life."
