So, What Exactly Does Geoff Johns Do At DC Comics?

The Wall Street Journal broke the story on the new Justice League movie as well as the likes of Shazam, 100 Bullets, Fables and Metal Men in production. Bleeding Cool covered the movie stuff last night.

But it's also checking on what the Warners' plans for DC Comics are. And how things are a little more centralised now.

Last year, soon after Mr. Tsujihara's promotion, Ms. Nelson began reporting to the CEO for the first time in DC's history.

"Kevin came into a political, complicated company and made clear DC is a priority, and I expect everyone to figure this out together," said Ms. Nelson.

They are not the only folk who get namechecked however.

DC's chief content officer, Geoff Johns, is tasked with keeping track of it all. A fan-favorite comic-book writer who is the T-shirt wearing geek to Ms. Nelson's polished corporate player, Mr. Johns consults on scripts, visual designs and even titles across the company.

Colleagues say his approach is less nitpicky than his predecessors', with one recalling the time when DC staffers in New York asked an animation executive to change a script because the villain Man-Bat wouldn't be physically strong enough to carry the Penguin (the Batman foe) on his back.

Though, remember, he's still only allowed to write two comics a month…
