One must realize that DC comics have very little to say about what Warner Brothers does to the movie franchises.
From what I've heard in the past. DC is wholly owned by Warner Brothers but as far as bookeeping goes it is its own entity and must make its own money. Warner Brothers pays DC for the license to use their characters (from one pocket to another), but then Warner's controls what happens from there on during the individual project.
DC folks might be given some 'advisory' roles or act as another superfluous producer, but make no mistake, they have little or nothing to say as to how the movie will be made or turn out.
Unfortunate, but true.
Tank (who has seen Affleck is a few good roles but doesn't see him as someone 'tough enough' or cerebral enough to be Batman)
