The decision has been made by the actor and the studio, Warner Bros. 

According to a report filed by Variety, Affleck believes that the role of a superhero in the film requires more focus. The search for a director is currently on as multi-tasking as an actor and director simultaneously doesn’t sound very feasible. “Performing this role demands focus and passion. It has become clear that I cannot do both jobs to the level they require. Together with the studio, I have decided to find a partner in a director who will collaborate with me on this massive film. I am still in this, and we are making it, but we are currently looking for a director.”

The report quoted a close source saying that the decision is not made in the wake of actor’s latest disappointment Live by Night as a director but on what’s best for the project.

The 44-year old actor who first appeared as the superhero in last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, will now be seen portraying the caped crusader in Justice League.
