Geoff Johns is a renowned American comic book and television writer, film and television producer, with a career spanning multiple decades. As the Chief Creative Officer at DC Comics since 2010, he has made a significant impact on the company's creative direction. His notable works in various media platforms have prominently featured iconic DC Comics characters such as Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash, and Superman.
In addition to his comic book work, Johns has also ventured into television, co-writing the story for the Justice League Unlimited episode "Ancient History" in 2006. This episode showcased a talented cast, including Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Vixen, Shadow Thief, and the Green Lantern John Stewart.
Johns has also made a mark in the film industry, serving as a co-producer and creative consultant for the 2011 blockbuster Green Lantern, directed by Martin Campbell and starring Ryan Reynolds. His work on the film helped shape the story and characters, bringing the DC Comics universe to life on the big screen.
In his capacity as an executive producer, Johns was involved in the production of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016),a highly anticipated superhero film directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck.

In June 2018, Johns stepped down as the President and CEO of DC Entertainment, opting to focus more on writing for DC Movies and Comic Books. This decision allowed him to refocus his energy on the creative aspects of the company, rather than the administrative responsibilities of the top role.
Looking ahead, Johns will serve as a writer for the upcoming Green Lantern film, scheduled for release in 2020 as part of the DC Extended Universe. This new project marks an exciting new chapter in Johns' career, as he continues to make his mark on the DC Comics universe.
