Geoff Johns Quotes

I read The Flash. I read Green Lantern. I loved Batman.

I love other movies that have been made since, but I think more than any comic book movie, 'Superman' just totally seemed to capture superheroes in ways that others have not.

I didn't know the Green Lantern comics at all. I was a Superman reader.

I grew up with Batman and Superman but definitely in a cartoon and a movie kind of way. I was familiar with DC superheroes. I didn't know much about The Flash or anything about Iris West!

As it turned out, if you look at the history, everything in superhero comic books pretty much lies between Superman and Batman: Superman being the greatest superhero there is, and Batman being the one of the few superheroes who has no superpowers and is, in fact, not a superhero.

I was a huge fan of the Justice League growing up. I watched all of the cartoons, all of the animated series, all of the movies, superhero related, since my personal beginning.

Batman and Superman are probably my favorite superheroes - apart from Constantine.

It's just nerve-wracking in general to write 'Superman,' right? I'm a life-long superhero fan, and he is the character that kicked off the entire genre.

I thought, 'I loved Batman, I loved Spider-Man, I love all these characters, but Catwoman is really different from any other one.'

When I was approached by Warner Bros. and DC about the possibility of directing 'The Flash,' I was excited about the opportunity to enter this amazing world of characters that I loved growing up, and still do to this day.

It's just that... working on 'Green Lantern,' I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly - that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with.

Superman has been my favorite character since I was six years old, and I have more comics featuring Superman than any other single character.

Everyone knows Spiderman is my favorite superhero of all time. My favorite supervillain? George W. Bush.

I really liked the design of Batman. I liked the concept. There's a lot more you can do with Batman than most other superheroes.

I know, who doesn't want to play a superhero, right? And everyone wants to play Superman or Batman. Everyone wants to play a superhero.

I like the superhero comic books, and I like to see what the actors do creatively with the characters and how they bring these superheroes to life in the movies.

'The New 52,' I was really excited that new people got to jump in on books. In particular, on 'Aqua Man.'

Everything I've done is an old Marvel comic in its' own way.

I love cartoons, I love comic books and graphic novels. 'Batman: The Animated Series' was a huge influence on me when I was younger.

Superhero stories are kind of in my DNA from childhood on, so I think I'm genetically drawn to playing in the genre when the opportunity presents itself.

Comic book fans have loved Wolverine, and all the 'X-Men' characters, for more than the action. I think that's what set it apart from many of the other comic books. In the case of Wolverine, when he appeared, he was a revolution really. He was the first anti-hero.

That's one of the things that I've loved about 'Spider-Man' and Marvel in general. The characters all have dimension.

I grew up loving X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman.

I guess a lot of comic-book adaptations strive for realism. Christopher Nolan is making Batman seem very real and very serious.

I love working on 'Superman' and 'Batman' dearly.
