Geoff Johns and Jon Berg Talk Justice League… by filmjunkee
After confirming Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke in the DCEU, Geoff Johns talked about the Justice League tone and how Batman’s killing actions will be addressed in Justice League. Not that it has to be addressed. These are fictional characters people. No one really dies.
Mistakenly in the past I think the studio has said, ‘Oh, DC films are gritty and dark and that’s what makes them different.’ That couldn’t be more wrong. It’s a hopeful and optimistic view of life. Even Batman has a glimmer of that in him. If he didn’t think he’d make tomorrow better, he’d stop.
We’re trying to take a really hard look at everything to make sure we stay true to the characters and tell stories that celebrate them.
Jon Berg also chimed in:
