The script is finished and who could possibly be the director? None other than Ben Affleck of course, who's been given the script by WB to read to potentially direct The Justice League. First of all I never even knew Ben Affleck is a director and second he's a good director? Wow... I never cared for his acting abilities and I know nothing of his directional skills, but if Jon Favreau can go from a failure like Daredevil to a success like Iron Man then maybe there’s a small inkling of hope… who knows. I did hear that Affleck was a choice what is now known as Man of Steel, but I never did read what the source actually said.
