There’s a big rumor about the villain that will unite DC’s biggest heroes in a Justice League movie. According to Latino Review Warner Brothers will have Darkseid as the villain for the big screen battle.
Darkseid is a God-like being from a dark dimension, rules planet Apokalips and armies of evil warriors (Parademons, Female Furies, Kalibak, Desaad.)
Darkseid was the first villain to The New 52 Justice League fought and his invasion was the key that united the heroes.

I still think the smarter, cooler direction is to have a Superman/Batman team-up against Lex Luthor and Ra’s Al Ghul as the super villains try to tap into The Source of extradimensional power. Diana (not Wonder Woman yet) is a warrior woman trying to warn the outside world of the invading force (Darkseid) that is a legend among the Amazons. Bruce, Clark, and Diana fail. Lex and Ra’s unleash Darkseid.
The Superman/Batman team-up movie leads into the Justice League’s big showdown against Darkseid and his invading forces.
I’m also a big fan of Maxwell Lord from The Omac Project but I guess if you’re competing with a Titan (Thanos in The Avengers sequel) you have to go big with your biggest villains – you don’t get bigger than Darkseid!
Update: Representatives for the actor/director have denied reports that Ben Affleck will direct the Justice League movie according to Deadline.
Original Story:
The man who played Marvel’s Daredevil may be directing DC’s Justice League movie. Ben Affleck has been approached by Warner Brothers to helm the big screen film starring DC’s biggest heroes according to Variety.
The writer/director/star of The Town and upcoming Argo is the only director who’s seen the script by Will Beall and is meeting the studio’s top brass this week according to the story.
Is this a smart move? Marvel tapped comedy actor/director Jon Favreau for the first Iron Man and the rest is pop culture history.
Ben Affleck is the lead in all the films he directed so would be play a member of the Justice League? Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash? The man has the build and face of a superhero. Affleck played George Reeves (the first actor to play Superman on television) in Hollywoodland.

I’d love to see Afflect portray supervillain Maxwell Lord. I don’t know if he’s the foe in the script but that’s the character that jumped to my mind when I saw Affleck’s potential involvement.
Greg Rucka’s OMAC Project, a prelude to the Infinite Crisis event, is a gripping story that demonstrating why Max Lord is a perfect villain. This story dramatically changed the relationships between Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. This epic with just DC’s Big Three would make a powerhouse movie.
Who is Maxwell Lord? A human entrepreneur who created the Justice League that he ran like a company. Later Lord developed mind control abilities and joined the covert espionage agency Checkmate. All that time working as an ally of the JL Lord was gathering information (weaknesses) on the world’s heroes in a plot to wipe them off the planet. Imagine Superman under the control of a warped criminal mind? The Man of Steel actually was compelled to beat Batman to death until…well just read the Omac Project!
