Geoff Johns Exits DC Entertainment for Writing and Producing Deal (Exclusive)

DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns � who went from authoring comic books to having a major hand in the making of movies and television shows based on famous heroes � is stepping down from his executive post and entering into an exclusive writer-producer deal with Warner Bros. and DC, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Johns is launching Mad Ghost Productions, a new banner that will see him work on content for films, television and comic books, and have his hand in current DC properties as well as new and reimagined creations.

At the same time, current DC Entertainment publisher Jim Lee will assume the chief creative officer position, taking on the duties while continuing to act as publisher with Dan DiDio. The two have jointly held the post since 2010.

The moves come in the wake of last week�s exit of Diane Nelson, DC Entertainment�s president, to whom Johns reported, and occurs the day before a judge�s decision will be announced in the high-profile anti-trust trial between the U.S. Department of Justice and AT&T, which is seeking to merge with Time Warner, the parent company of both Warner Bros. and DC.

And it takes place as Warners� movie division is in the midst of a transition as Walter Hamada, who was installed as president of DC-based films at the studio by pictures group chairman Toby Emmerich, in January, begins to shape the superhero slate in the post-Justice League era.

Johns now goes from the executive ranks back to the creative world, a world which he never truly left. Even as he was promoted to DC Entertainment president in 2016, and retained the title of chief creative officer, which he had held since 2010, he continued to pen some of DC�s biggest books. And, more impactfullly, he was key in launching the TV empire based on DC�s heroes, co-developing The CW�s most successful superhero show, The Flash, and with Peter Roth and WBTV, launching Supergirl and Black Lightning, and many others.

The move in essense unshackles him from the boardroom and positions him to be a major force and supplier of content just as Warners' need and audience demand for that sort of material rises like a mercury on steroids.

�I took on a role at DCE because I love the characters and this universe more than anything. But, I want to spend my days writing and on set. I�m thrilled to get back to a more hands-on creative role. It�s a dream job on dream projects, reaching even deeper into DC�s vast pantheon of characters,� said Johns in a statement.

One of John�s first projects will be Green Lantern Corps, based on DC�s intergalactic police heroes which Johns is already very familiar with, having spent nine years writing Green Lantern comics and its spin-offs and publishing events. Johns will write the screenplay and act as one of the producers on the feature film. Johns is already writing and producing Wonder Woman 2 and will have a co-writing and executive producing credit on Aquaman, this year's only DC offering that opens in December.

�Geoff is a super talented writer and truly embedded in the DC Universe and its characters,� stated Emmerich. �We�re thrilled that he�s returning to his passion and his roots as a writer and producer. And, it�s even better that he�s staying in our Warner Bros. family. We look forward to working with him on �Green Lantern� and other projects going forward.�

On the television side, Johns co-developed and is executive producing (alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Jeremy Carver) and writing on the first original series for the upcoming DC Universe digital service, Titans. Johns also wrote the Titans episode �Doom Patrol� that it is spinning out into its own 13-episode original series for the digital service.

On the publishing side, Johns will write and curate a DC pop-up label under the moniker The Killing Zone, focusing on new and lesser known or dormant DC characters and titles. He will also write a new Shazam comic series scheduled to hit this fall as well as a comic titled Three Jokers, drawn by Jason Fabok. The latter was a project sidelined as Johns� time was taken up by executive and screen commitments.

�Geoff is one of DC Comics� most prolific writers, and we can�t wait to see what he does next now that he will be dedicating 100 percent of his time to telling the best DC stories possible across all media," stated DiDio and Lee.

So everything is being restructured in a way to probably surgically remove the MoS WB/DCCU execs to have Time Warner still be an attractive offer to ATT, and keep people involved in making the decent CW shows still around. I seriously hope the ATT merger does not happen, they're back to being insanely bloated like Ma Bell used to be. This would mean, ATT would essentially have a monopoly over telecom, content providers, AND how people view it. I.e. DirectTV Now(formerlly ATT U-Verse), Direct Tv, HBOGo, HBO Now. And I'm pretty sure I didn't even name all of them. :psyboom:

Is this according to anything? Johns and Lee had the same titles during the launch of both initiatives, and New 52 literally grew out of a Justice League book co-created by Johns and Lee.

Bendis will be reintroducing the Question in Action Comics #1005. That just makes good sense, because he loves writing journalists and street-level vigilantes.

As for Johns, I loved his Flash, JSA, and Booster Gold runs. Those were great. And I'm not sure what he brought to 52 as opposed to what Morrison, Rucka, and Waid brought, but the whole thing was a masterwork.

I don't buy into the theory of there being a big Didio+Lee Vs Johns war over DC, but I'm guessing it's...
Johns' Flashpoint not originally being planned to usher in a new universe and his GL being one of the two things more or less allowed to continue it's continuity, versus Johns having a completely active role in starting Rebirth.

It's strange looking back now on how big a deal Black Adam was for a few years immediately before and after Infinite Crisis and it's almost entirely thanks to Johns.

JSA was my first favourite DC comic but looking back on it, it's not as good after the post-Infinite Crisis relaunch and it was at its best when Johns was co-writing with Goyer.

Could have been worse. At least it opened with Hal saying how awesome Kyle was for "being a Green Lantern when no one else could" and shaking his hand when they had a second and treating him as an equal. John's could have just straight up iced Kyle like a punk rear end bitch and brought Hal back and been like "what's up? gently caress you!" like what often happens in these sort of things.

You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Also creating the emotional spectrum and attendant other six Lantern Corps was a tremendous kick in the pants to the entire franchise and opened up new story avenues that every GL writer since has been taking advantage of, and that's not a small thing. It's why I'll still go to bat for the Parallax thing as my favorite retcon of all time; taking a bunch of disconnected story elements that were created by different writers over the course of 40 years that all lacked an explanation and going "okay but what if this" and stringing them all together in a way that turned Green Lantern from a C-list name struggling to support a solo title to a franchise with multiple books, overnight, is an astounding achievement.

Pretty much EVERYTHING people like about Green Lantern nowadays really came from Johns. Like, I think people forget how big Green Lantern was between 2004 to 2010. People were memorizing lantern codes, people were excited about every reveal, people were theorizing what each lantern corp could be, I was -- a guy who barely read any comics and only started buying trades because an internet critic convinced me to buy all the trades for 52 (well, my brother had 1 and then I HAD to buy the rest) -- buying the trades for Green Lantern like crazy and was super hyped for blackest night.

Sure, Blackest Night is kind of meh in hindsight, but it was loving awesome at the time. Sure, Blackest Night kind of killed things and Brightest Day didn't help, but six years of top of chart releases is enough. That's a loving good run.
