Chief executive Kevin Tsujihara confirmed they were moving forward with Affleck in the director's chair at CinemaCon, an annual gathering of theatre owners in Las Vegas.
The stand-alone Batman feature is part of Warner Bros' plans for an expanded DC Comics cinematic universe, similar to that of the Disney and Marvel collaboration.
