Formerly the assistant of film director [[Superman (film)|Richard Donner]], Geoff Johns broke into comic books in 1999. He worked freelance for about four years before signing an exclusive contract with [[DC Comics]], where he's been ever since. He writes an average of four comics a month, so he's responsible for a large percentage of DC's total monthly output.

* [[Alternate Company Equivalent]] ([[Brian Bendis]])
* [[Author Appeal]]: Johns is a Self-confessed Silver Age Fanboy. Naturally this played a role in his writing of [[Superman]] and the revivals of [[Green Lantern|Hal Jordan]], [[The Flash|Barry Allen]], and [[Aquaman
* [[Arc Welding]]
* [[Armed with Canon]] (The fact remains he has the largest listing on this page for a single creator)
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
** Example, long time fans were scratching their heads when Barry started talking about his father being framed for the murder of his mother as his motivation for becoming a police scientist (as he'd had a good relationship with both of his parents up to the point of his death.) This could have been handwaved as being the byproduct of any of three major cosmic retcons that had taken place since his death but it turned out it was Professor Zoom using [[Time Travel]] to screw up his past.
* [[Crisis Crossover]] (''Day of Judgement'', ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', and ''[[Blackest Night]]''.)

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: A lot of his writing, especially post-[[Infinite Crisis]].
* [[Elephant in the Living Room]]: Subverted, as the usual superhero-comic "Why does everyone ''stay'' in a supervillain-plagued city?" question has been dealt with a few times:
