I haven't read Superman secret origin yet, so I'm going to choose Green Lantern.
It was the first Geoff Johns story I read, and I enjoyed it a lot. I loved Hal, Sinestro, Carol, Atrocitus, and Abin Sur, even though he died pretty early.
I also really enjoyed the subplot involving Hal and his brothers.
But that's just my opinion, what about you?
​
And are then caught by Johnathan and Martha. 😆
I really liked Conner and Cassie as a couple. Johns run made me fall in love with them. 🥰
A very controversial topic for readers is how Johns characterized Tim, Conner, Cassie, and Bart. While some believe that their characterization was natural, others believe that Johns ruined how they were portrayed in David's Young Justice.
​
Personally, as someone that never read YJ, I really liked their personalities in TT. With Tim struggling with being Robin, and afraid he might never get out of the hero life, Conner wrestling with the fact that he's half Clark, half Luthor, Cassie struggling with being bullied at school for having powers, and being considered "not normal", and Bart's insecurities about people, even Wally, doubting him for being immature.
​
I felt that was very compelling to read. But that's just me. What do you think?

Before the project fell apart thanks to the poor reception of Batman v Superman and the DCEU Justice League, as well as Affleck's personal struggles, he was set to direct a Batman movie that he was co-writing, alongside Chris Terrio and Geoff Johns. Matt Reeves came in, discarded the script and decided to do his own thing (which, ironically, took inspiration from Johns' own Earth One comic).
The script, unfortunately, never leaked. However, a recent report by Slash Film compiled some stuff about the movie. And it looked very promising!
Here's what the movie could've been:
-> Deathstroke, played by Joe Manganiello, was going to be the main villain.
-> Slade wanted revenge against Affleck's Batman because of the death of his son. Jesse Einsenberg's Lex Luthor revealed to him that Batman was Bruce Way in Zack Snyder's Justice League, so Deathstroke would use this knowledge to ruin Bruce's life, Knightfall-style.
-> Manganiello compared the script with David Fincher's 1997 movie The Game. The movie tells the story of a financier who gets everything taken from him. Like that movie, Deathstroke would have "systematically [dismantled] Bruce's life and murdering all the people in it, and [destroy] his finances and just basically [paint] him into a corner".
-> Veteran cinematographer Robert Richardson (who shot Affleck's Live By Night and Air, as well as movies for Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino) was picked by Affleck for The Batman.
-> Richardson said the movie would've been set at least partially in Arkham Asylum. It would've explored Batman's "insanity aspects" and "darker side".
-> When discussing the script in a podcast, Matt Reeves described it as "action-driven", "filled with a lot of set pieces" and like a James Bond movie.
-> Reeves also said, to Esquire, that Affleck's "Batman" script "was very deeply connected to the DCEU, with other major characters from other movies and other comics popping up."
-> Jay Oliva, director for DC Animated movies, told Inverse that Affleck's "The Batman" would've pulled together 80 years of Batman comic stories.
-> Speaking of comic accuracy, there were rumors that the Gotham City from Affleck's movie would be the most comic accurate of all Batman movies so far: dark, brooding, but also filled with eccentric supervillains.
TLDR: The Batman, as conceived by Affleck, Geoff Johns and Chris Terrio, would've been about Deathstroke learning from Luthor Batman's secret identity to get revenge on him for the death of his son. Deathstroke would've dismantled Bruce's life, and he'd have to fight back. It was a very action-packed movie, almost like James Bond, and it was at least partially set in Arkham Asylum, where Bruce would be confronted with his own insanity. Many other characters from the DCEU and the comics were set to appear, and it was supposed to be the most comic accurate Batman movie ever produced, taking inspiration from 8 decades of comics history.
