Geoff Johns No longer Directly involved with DC Films

LOL! Wasn't this guy supposed to be their would-be "Kevin Feige"? Wow...

Will WB EVER take the hint that the soup's been p!ssed in and can't be salvaged? They need to dump the soup and start a fresh batch. Enough of these attempts to mask it.

It's like my soiled linen analogy I've been using since BVS days: when someone sh!ts the bed do you change the bedding or just throw fresh linen on top of the soiled linen? Who wants to sleep in that?

This DCCU has NO stable foundation--NO legs to stand on. It's been fvcked since Day 1 (Man of Steel) and they have only been compounding the problem ever since. When Man of Steel proved to be massive divisive they should have stopped and started over RIGHT THEN. Instead, they just keep throwing linen on top of linen on top of linen on top of linen hoping ONE of them will be fresh and good enough to make people forget about the stinking, festering sh!t underneath.

This DCCU has been tainted. A do-over is the only way to even ATTEMPT to fix it.

However, they're at a bad point now--a point where even starting over won't pull them from this completely. Why? Because a series of VERY bad decisions has put a taint not only the DCCU but now onto DC and WB themselves. Now, any time people see that DC logo and WB attached to it they're going to remember all these DCCU turds so even a full-on reboot can't necessarily save them. Still, a full do-over is the best place to start. They need to earn audience trust back. They can keep making all these Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash films all they want but the soiled linen is still there and people will never forget that. A do-over is the best way to go. Sure, the do-over won't net them much money but they could build up from there.

It's over. The poor box office of Justice League should have proven that by now: people just aren't invested in these characters, nor do they want to be. We need a new iteration.

But, judging by DC's upcoming slate they still aren't learning from their mistakes

In wish i would have still be Geoff John in the lead. Horror films aren't like Superhero films.

If tyrue, I have no problem with Johns being out. I loved this guys early work (Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. and JSA particularly) but as his fame grew, two things became evident to me:

1) He really didn't know how to end stories. It was like he had a series of splash pages in his head and then wrote a story around them and then didn't know how to wrap things up.

2) He really really wanted his Super-Friends. One of the things I liked in the 90's in DC was that there was a real sense of...progression. Heroes were killed and replaced or retire and replaced (not all, but there were some big names there like GL or Flash). Johns went out of his way once he was a big deal to dismantle all that so he could have HIS heroes back. Now, I've was reading these books before him and they were MY heroes to....but it totally took away the stakes when Hal Jordan and Barry Allen came back.
