Geoff Johns Is Co-Writing The Batman Alongside Ben Affleck

 

Geoff Johns shed some light on where he fits into the grand scheme of things in regards to both DC’s movie endeavours and other adaptations. He said “My job is to help other Warner Brothers divisions work with DC. I work with Warner TV and producers to get these shows up and running, in particular with The Flash, where I co-created the show, wrote a few episodes, wrote the pilot episode. I work with other people, Ames Kirshen in games, the studios like Rocksteady and Netherrealm, go in there on character choices, story they’re going to do and brainstorm on that, try to keep it true to comics.”

One project which Johns will be very closely involved with is The Batman, the still undated movie which we know is set to be directed by Ben Affleck. The comic book writer went on to confirm that he’s co-writing the movie and expressed his excitement to be working on it saying “I do get to say I’m working on Batman with Ben Affleck. That gets the Thanksgiving table excited, especially my brother.”

Affleck and Johns working together on The Batman is definitely something of a dream team. On the one hand, you have a filmmaker responsible for the likes of Argo and The Town, and on the other, you have a writer who has worked on The Flash TV series and been responsible for amazing runs on titles like Justice League, Green Lantern, and Batman: Earth One.
