Despite receiving acclaim for his portrayal of Batman and Bruce Wayne, the films Ben Affleck starred in didn’t receive much praise. Many issues stemmed from corporate interference on most DC projects he was involved with. For instance, Suicide Squad underwent significant edits during post-production, according to director David Ayer; the released version wasn’t his original cut. The Flash suffered due to changes in leadership at the studio who wanted something different from the movie. Justice League, on the other hand, has a well-known story of Joss Whedon reshooting large parts of Zack Snyder’s film after he left production. Initially, Affleck had plans for his own Batman movie, but these fell apart as he stepped away from the DC universe.
