Geoff Johns wants to write DC Movies...

Geoff Johns says “I would love a crack at Superman or the Flash for a feature”
i say let him. he's a proven comic writer, and you know he's not going to take two years to write a script given his amazing ability to write several comics per month... that does leave the question of where he'd get the time, but i'm sure he'd make it...
warner brothers need to wake up, imo...

Maybe he & Mark Millar could armwrestle for the right to work on Superman. 😄
It's still no guarantee of quality. James Robinson does some great comic work, but he also wrote the movie adaptation of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. 😘
And it's not like they needed Frank Miller or Jeph Loeb to finally get Batman right on the big screen.

Writing movies are for "real" men, there I said itIn all seriousness he should stick to what he does best which is comics. Sure he is a greater writer but dam some of these folks want to get their hands on everything.
"Still waiting for a Flash movie -.-"
They tried that and DC screen writers cant make a great Comic movie that is true to its source. The exception is Batman. Let some who has a history at writing great comics take a stab at movies.
The only examples we have are Superman Returns, V For Vendetta and Batman Begins/The Dark Knight. I don't count Catwoman because that was a clear money grab that had nothing to do with the comic outside of it's title.
The problem with Warner Bros isn't quality but the fact that they can't seem to get their projects off the ground.

But money wise in general marvel/dc movies seem to bring lots of cash in the box office and some of those movies are pretty shit.
I don't know about you guys but when they make serious changes from comic to movie it's makes me mad ( 😠 )
like FF 2
Roy Thomas was the definite Conan comic writer for decades. When he and fellow Conan scribe Gerry Conway got to work on the second Conan film, the result was a ludicrous mess compared to the first film.
Todd McFarlane took charge of everything in making the Spawn movie. That didn't work out too well (still waiting for that follow up film.)
Frank Miller's first opportunity to write movies were Robocop 2 & 3. 😘
It's a medium with a different skill set, where not everything you put on the page will get to the big screen. I think it's valuable when the comic creators are consultants on films like Iron Man & Watchmen, but just because you are good in one medium doesn't mean you can succeed in another. There are good novelists who aren't good at screenwriting.
