Geoff Johns is the new co-chief of DC's Superhero Movies division, in a move that has nearly everyone feeling optimistic following some maybe not so optimistic feelings after Batman v Superman.

Johns' co-chief in replacing Zack Snyder at the top of DC films' totem pole will be Warner Bros. VP Jon Berg.

First off, Johns is a Michigan native. He's a Michigan State University alumnus and has written some of the most successful, transcendent and critically acclaimed comic books in the modern age.

Don't believe me? Read Green Lantern: Rebirth, Flash: Rebirth, Flashpoint, Justice Society of America 5-77, the list goes on and on. You see his name on the cover, and that's a book that I'll recommend wholeheartedly.

He's had his hands on Smallville, Arrow and The Flash in the TV universe and owns the retailer, Earth-2 Comics in California. He also loves Bulldogs, if you follow his Instagram.

He has served as DC's Chief Creative Officer since 2010, in which some of the most fantastic books in the 21st century have been published under his leadership. I'm not going to go into a list, but the rebirths of Hal Jordan and Barry Allen, in addition to the amazing Batman New 52, yeah.

We're optimistic, but you know what else is really important?

So is Geoff.
