VIDEO : Jay Olivia Calls Ben Affleck's 'The Batman' Script The Best He's Ever Read

If one popular narrative of DC's movie universe has so far been that of unrealized potential, then apparently that story will continue for now, as one of Zack Snyder's insiders has nothing but high praise for Ben Affleck's The Batman script which fans will likely never see. That would be Jay Oliva, who worked on storyboard art for Snyder and has a long history with DC animated projects, including Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. That turned out to be the case, but after Batman v Superman stumbled with critics, Affleck pulled out of directing The Batman in favor of Planet of the Apes veteran Matt Reeves.
