...Geoff Johns?

Why?

The link from Game Informer. I don't know why I saw it there...

Johns is notoriously bad at writing Batman. If anything Scott Snyder would have been an amazing choice. Or maybe Morrison...

Still, could be worse. It could be Frank Miller.

Eh... there needs to be a really, really good Beyond template for them to use, first. TAS BB was only good because it took place in the DCAU, where pretty much everything is fantastic. But I don't think it would work well on the big screen.

Jacob Potila was actually a Jacob Flotilla of lies.- WarTurkey
Hasn't Afflex proved to actually be a very competent writer and director?

Absolutely, I'm really excited to see what he'll do. Especially since he'll be playing Batman, so I'm sure he'll push the envelope a little bit there.

I'm more confused as to why Johns is co-writing, though. Like I said, he's pretty bad at writing for Batman. My guess is that he's gotten really popular over the last couple of years, and became a higher-up at DC. He probably got first dibs.

Rocksteady got his input for the character of Arkham Knight, so... take that as you will.

I was really hoping that you were going to say Matt Damon.

Good Bat Hunting.
