I don't think the issue was whether it was true or not, but I feel like Johns is getting singled out for something more common in casting for these properties.
Which I guess is still a conversation that is necessary to have, but I don't think it's a means of convicting Johns.
AKA all Geoff Johns characters...? Considering it would include women and POC, some in high profile DC projects, I kind of doubt it.
Unless it's just wishful thinking .
ugh. Glad this news is getting out
The J-man
Yeah they’re going to kill off Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz, Barry Allen, Clark Kent, Hal Jordan, Bruce Wayne, Arthur Curry, Stargirl, Michael Holt Mr. Terrific, the JSA, the Legion of Superheroes, the Justice League, Seven Soldiers, Shazam and all of his adopted siblings, Cyborg, and everyone else that Johns has either created or had a major impact on which comes out to 90% of the DCU when it’s all said and done.
The whole goddamn reason Hamada wanted Ray to stop going after Johns was Johns has literally had a major impact on pretty much EVERY corner of the DCU and now DC is in a tight spot. He’s the one who has created a lot of the PoC characters, they’re drawing heavily on his work for their movies and TV shows, they can’t really cut him off. At best they might cancel that Stargirl one shot and remove him from their TV stuff, but Johns was already “demoted” and WB is in no hurry to give Ray any more clout than what he already has. This idea that they’re going to murder and erase everything Johns did is crazy talk.

Wait... what?
That's pretty much the definition of directing. "Cut, Let's try it again with more emotion" Is literally giving an actor a hard time over their acting abilities. The only one I remember doing everything in one take because it was 'perfect' was Ed Wood and he's one of the worst directors of all time.
I'm sure there's a good way and a bad way to do it... but if the actor can't take direction... then what do you think the Director is even there for? He's also not the first director who wanted the lines spoken the way he wrote them. Sometimes actor input is great... sometimes not, but that's usually a personality thing. Lucas was famous for that. No improve, just do it as it was written. Whedon has a specific 'voice' to his lines... i can see him trying to preserve that.
Heck... as much cgi as is used now days, 'director' may not even be a thing in the future... The movie can be made by the special effects and editing.

Honestly, it's looking like the only way to make this go away is to fire Johns and Hamada and hire new people who still won't hire Snyder to make a DC film. Either Fisher stops complaining (except when he won't be cast by them again, of course) or he finds some way to connect these new people to his same complaints and it becomes blatantly obvious to everybody that it wasn't a principled stand.

If they fired Hamada & Johns but didn’t bring Fisher back it would look like they’re admitting he was correct but still punishing him for speaking out. So I’m betting they’re just going to bunker down and ignore the drama on social media. The hashtags won’t go away but the fools made their bed when they greenlit the SC in the first place.
