Collider <\/a>spoke with DC’s Chief Creative Officer. You already knew this because you read our post on Geoff’s comments about possibly turning unproduced screenplays into DC Animated movies<\/a>. Now comes the full interview, but to save you time here are the best and relevant bits below. Read as Geoff does his best to dodge questions and give as little information as possible on DC movies, the future for Green Lantern on the big screen, DC’s current slate of tv shows, ending his nine year GL run and more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Johns on when he knew he was leaving Green Lantern<\/em>:<\/p>\n JOHNS: Probably about six months ago.\u00a0 I was working on a storyline where Hal Jordan was going to end up in the Dead Zone, which essentially he was going to end up in the afterlife, and I thought, you know, his big triumphant return from that, like him coming out of that and all these things I wanted to play out with him and Sinestro, it felt like this second rebirth.\u00a0 We\u2019ve started by bringing him back, it just felt very poetic and it just felt right.\u00a0 Something big was going to happen with Sinestro, his own world was destroyed, Hal was dead.\u00a0 All these events kind of culminated in a moment that I thought, this is the exclamation point on my run.\u00a0 From rebirth to rebirth.\u00a0 That\u2019s how I want to end it.\u00a0 So I did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Geoff hints at a big DC announcement at Comic-Con International this summer:<\/p>\n What do you think, or is there discussion with the popularity of Arrow <\/em>in bringing other characters to the small screen?\u00a0 How does it work with the fact that there\u2019s a Justice League <\/em>movie being developed?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JOHNS: One of the things that I thought really worked was that you have Smallville <\/em>on television and Superman Returns<\/em> come out in the theater, and it was fine. Nobody freaked out, nobody thought they were competing. These characters are strong enough to live in video games, animation, television, film, and so Arrow<\/em>, you will see a lot of characters coming in there, you might some see more DC TV shows.\u00a0 Obviously that\u2019s what everybody wants.\u00a0 It\u2019s exciting, I wish we could talk more about plans, but let\u2019s talk about it Comic-Con.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was going to say, I know we\u2019re in May, it\u2019s like once you hit April-May, everyone just gets \u2014 no one wants to talk about it until July.\u00a0 So you\u2019re saying that in July I\u2019m going to know more?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JOHNS: You\u2019ll know a lot more about DC in July at Comic-Con.\u00a0 Across the board.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Geoff teases a future DC Animation project unlike any other:<\/p>\n What about talking to other writers, bringing in new and unexpected voices?\u00a0 To do an animated movie? Is that something\u2013<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JOHNS: Yes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Damn it! I feel like two months too soon!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JOHNS: Sorry, man.\u00a0 There is a really cool one in development right now, that\u2019s not necessarily \u2014 it\u2019s very different from anything they\u2019ve done before.\u00a0 I\u2019m really excited about it.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know when they\u2019ll be talking about that yet, I don\u2019t know when it\u2019ll be ready to talk about. <\/span> And the moment you’ve been waiting for…Johns says there are plans for Green Lantern! Literally.<\/p>\n Plans for Green Lantern <\/em>after the movie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JOHNS: There are plans.\u00a0 There are plans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And so you don’t have read a bunch of quotes here is quick rundown of everything else from the interview. Johns likes digital comics but has no preference for any format as a reader. He just wants you to support comics and that’s the best answer anyone could give. Geoff says chances are “Very, very good” for a Wonder Woman movie and that it is “absolutely” a priority. Former Vibe<\/em> writer and currently producing CW’s “ARROW” Andrew Kriesberg is working on the long developing “BOOSTER GOLD” tv show. Johns says he can’t talk about the Showtime network adaptation of the Vertigo book\u00a0100 Bullets<\/em>. The Robot Chicken DC Special sequel gets started in just two weeks with Johns back on the writing team<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Collider spoke with DC’s Chief Creative Officer.
