Geoff Johns Quotes

I don’t care how people read their comics, I want them to read comics. I don’t care if they read them on an iPad or a phone or in store, I just want them to read comics.

We always knew that we wanted to keep Atlantis off for a while and when it did show up, to make it a big story. The goal for Aquaman was to position him as an A-list character; position him as an important member of the Justice League.

We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist.

I want to do character driven epic storylines with Throne of Atlantis kicking off.

The best thing about my job is that I work with the best creative people in the business in their fields.

I like collecting comics, I like buying comics, I like looking at comics, but I also read comics on digital readers.

I may not be smart enough to do everything, but I am dumb enough to try anything.

Re-introducing Aquaman and getting him to a place like that and then ultimately having him headline a Justice League storyline that crosses over between his book and Justice League really is the culmination of where we’ve been going with the character since the beginning. His role in this will change the Justice League storyline, it will change him, and it will send them both in new directions.

Aquamen is unique in the sense that he does it without ego. He doesn’t always have to be right. He’s made a lot of mistakes, and he really takes those to heart.

Were really trying to make Crisis as accessible as possible, which is extremely difficult to do because it involves so many characters. But, again, you dont need to know all the details. Obviously the mainstays are there Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and heavily focused on. There are a ton of great characters, and a lot happens to them over the course of Infinite Crisis . Some change and evolve, others fall, but it really is about trying to bring everybody on stage. We probably have 90 percent of the DCU showing up, if not more but without losing focus on what the story is.

My favorite thing to do is action-driven, emotionally-charged scenes. If it’s not just two people talking in a room, but it’s on the move and things are happening and it’s chaotic, and emotion comes from the characters and from the action, and the fall-out ultimately changes the character relationships, that exactly the kind of stuff I like writing.

You’re always learning about yourself, if you’re honest with yourself. It’s very tough to be honest with yourself. We all are dishonest with ourselves, a lot of the time. We don’t want to deal with something, so we compartmentalize it.
