Geoff Johns Quotes

I’ve been writing ‘Green Lantern’ for a long time, and one of the reasons I’ve enjoyed it is because the depth of stories you can tell is pretty endless with space and everything Picture Quote #1

Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg are fantastic producers and showrunners, and they lead a very, very positive, fun, creative environment to work in and to work with Picture Quote #1

Evil is relative - and what I mean by that is that our villains are as complex, as deep and as compelling as any of our heroes. Every antagonist in the DC Universe has a unique darkness, desire and drive. And the reason for being of ‘Forever Evil’ is to explore that darkness Picture Quote #1

Aquaman is one of the greatest characters at DC Comics and one of my favorites Picture Quote #1

As long as Green Lantern is still dealing with fear, it’s going to be relevant. ‘Rebirth’ really grew out of 9/11. 9/11 happened, and then two years later, I was writing about fear. It was obviously connected Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to take the DC universe, put it in a box, shake the box and pour it out. I wanted to take the major characters and show what they could be like if they were put on a different path Picture Quote #1

Every villain in the DC Universe wants something different, and not all of them want to rule the world. Or at least, not all of them want to rule the world in the way the Crime Syndicate do Picture Quote #1

Clearly, Simon Baz brings such a different viewpoint to ‘Green Lantern.’ The very nature of the corps concept of overcoming fear, I felt Simon was a great character to explore, while getting a different viewpoint on things Picture Quote #1

The idea of introducing the Seven Seas is absolutely to challenge Aquaman on an emotional and personal level. His responsibility is unification of the world, and that just became a lot more complex when he learns about the fall of Atlantis and the splintering of the kingdoms Picture Quote #1

It might sound goofy, but I do believe that emotions have power. We’re all driven by something, and most of that is emotional reaction Picture Quote #1

I put my comics that are really valuable into regular mylar because I like to look at them. Once they’re in those clam shell boxes, they’re impossible to open up Picture Quote #1

Forever Evil’ is my love letter to DC super villains. It’s my chance to take all of the villains I’ve worked with and all the ones I’ve never worked with and put them into one gigantic, epic story that will bring together the bads of the DC Universe Picture Quote #1

Overcoming fear doesn’t have to be skydiving, if you’re afraid of heights. Overcoming fear is an everyday thing. We do it all day long Picture Quote #1

We are finding new areas in the ocean every day. It’s as alien as going to outer space Picture Quote #1

I don’t know who made the first Aquaman joke. I’m sure it was comics readers; maybe we all did. But it’s the idea that the perpetuated story of Aquaman is that he only has powers in water, and he talks to fish. I think it’s the idea of him in the middle of a city just doesn’t make a lot of sense to people. It’s just the character itself Picture Quote #1

My sister was the inspiration for the character, the good qualities instilled in the character. The initial inspiration was there, but Stargirl has taken on a life of her own. She’s her own character now Picture Quote #1

The thing about Green Lantern rings is they pick whoever has potential to overcome great fear Picture Quote #1

Flashpoint’ is a showcase to demonstrate why the Flash is a major character, just like how we’ve done with Green Lantern. It’s important that the Flash can hold his own Picture Quote #1

The ocean is 90% unexplored. It’s a great canvas to paint Aquaman stories across, just like Green Lantern has space. It’s more organic, which makes it different and interesting. It’s alien, but it’s terrestrial Picture Quote #1

I’m really proud of all the stuff we’ve built with Green Lantern - from Larfleeze to the different corps. The universe has expanded and will live well past my run. It was more than just telling another story, but really giving back to the character by expanding and adding to their mythology Picture Quote #1

The truth is, we’re all cyborgs with cell phones and online identities Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I want to do character driven epic storylines with Throne of Atlantis kicking off Picture Quote #1

We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Aquaman has the ability to be a huge character, and I think we really brought him to a new level in comic books, and I’m hoping that new level continues to everything that is DC Entertainment. Certainly, that’s the goal. He’s one of our most recognizable and most important characters, and it’s going to continue to stay that way Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The Green Lanterns are very forward and very courageous, very forceful. The Red Lanterns are out of control, and they’re not in their right mind because when we’re angry or in rage, we say things and we do things we wouldn’t normally do Picture Quote #1

I really explored self-awareness and emotions through ‘Green Lantern.’ It might sound goofy, but I do believe that emotions have power. We’re all driven by something, and most of that is emotional reaction. For me, it was about recognizing my self-awareness Picture Quote #1

There’s a famous tension between Green Lantern and Green Arrow in the comic books. Those guys have always been friends. They started off as not on the same page, and then they quickly became best friends Picture Quote #1
