History Creator / GeoffJohns

** ''[[Film/BirdsOfPrey2022 Birds of Prey]]'': executive producer.

* ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'': an Executive producer on the following:
** ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''
** ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}''
** ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}''

** ''[[Film/Shazam2019 SHAZAM!]]''

** ''Film/ShazamFuryOfTheGods''

** ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'': also a co-writer.[[note]]Rewrote the screenplay with Zack Snyder and Chris Terrio at the request of Warner Bros. executives, mostly to lighten up the tone of the film. Johns also had a hand in revising the screenplay for what was proposed as a two-part movie to a movie that would start a potential trilogy, a compromise that Snyder agreed with since most of what was in the first part of the intended two-parter still made it into the revised script. While some of his script revisions are included in the theatrical release, he was not involved with Creator/JossWhedon's rewrites of the film.[[/note]]

Johns is largely considered to be the Mr. Fixit of comics, largely on the back of his restoration of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. His specialty is revamping characters, especially villains, [[VillainDecay who have lost their way]] ([[HarmlessVillain or were always lame]]) into something more compelling. He's also the go-to guy for untangling a ContinuitySnarl, though he sometimes has to take [[{{Retcon}} a sword]] [[CuttingTheGordianKnot to the Gordian Knot]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' and ''ComicBook/ActionComics''
** ''ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}''

** Geoff Johns has had a habit since his days on ''Flash'' of setting Batman up as a punching bag for other heroes, what with the "you only touch me because I let you touch me" speech from ''Flash'' #217, the ''Forever Evil'' "I'm in charge" scene, ''Green Lantern: Rebirth', the "why don't you do more as Bruce Wayne" speech Clark gave him in ''Superman'' #189... Johns has given some comic fans the impression that he is not a Batman fan. However, in ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'', Batman has an important role, being treated seriously and with respect, and ''ComicBook/BatmanThreeJokers'' portrays the Caped Crusader in his traditional role of world's greatest detective without a hint of derision. It seems less that he dislikes Batman as much as he dislikes the idea of Batman being infallible, and likes to have characters put him in his place once in awhile.

** ''ComicBook/TheLightningSaga''

** ''The Lightning Saga''

** ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}''

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: He is on record as stating that the more characters, the better.

** Geoff Johns has had a habit since his days on the Flash of setting Batman up as a punching bag for other heroes when he can, from the "you only touch me because I let you touch me" speech from Flash 217, to the Forever Evil "I'm in charge" scene, to GL: Rebirth, the "why don't you do more as Bruce Wayne" speech Clark gave him in Superman 189, and plenty in between, Johns has given readers of his work the impression that he is not a Batman fan in any way.
*** However, in ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'', Batman has an important role, being treated seriously and with respect, and ultimately - with Alfred - giving [[spoiler: Rorschach II]] a much needed RousingSpeech about hope in issue 12. Half of this may have been enforced in part by Creator/DanDiDio when he tasked Geoff with setting up the ''ComicBook/New52'', which put him on ''ComicBook/JusticeLeague2011'' to reintroduce the characters for the new setting.
* WriterOnBoard: His DC work this, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools for better or worse]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}''

* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern''

--->'''Geoff Johns:''' Let’s say you’ve been given the position of writing Green Arrow from scratch. Clean slate. You might say, 'Okay, I’m going to write this new character,' and when someone says, ‘Well, what about Black Canary,’ you might say...'nope.' That means you completely misunderstand these characters.

Fun fact: he used to be a roommate with Marvel's Creator/KevinFeige. While the irony is not lost on him, the two are still good friends. Also, both have worked one way or another for (and admire) Creator/RichardDonner.
