WB yanked Snyder as creative director of the film franchise and named Johns and Berg as the co-heads after BvS abymal ratings.

I don't know much about Berg but I don't think Johns is a good choice either. Despite relaunching a lot of great titles in the early 00s, for the last several years, his run on a lot of titles has been lukewarm at best horrible at worst. Also, he had a pretty big hand in the turd that was the first Green Lantern film - which derailed Wb's plan for an expanded universe by 5 years. So WB's move to name Johns and Berg doesn't fill me which a whole lot of confidence.

Thots?

I called that Synder would get fired from this after seeing BvS.

As far as how it shakes out, I will wait and see.

Good choice axing Synder though.

The TV universe is excellent (keeping in mind where they are airing it) and that fills me with some confidence is Johns played a decent roll in it.

I can't believe they kept Snyder on for BvS. Did Man of Steel do that well?

I understand why they hired him in the first place though; they wanted a solid action film hit to kick off a DC film universe.
