This is how Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns are working together on a Batman script

Warner Bros.

Last year news broke that Ben Affleck and DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns were working on a Batman script together. Then Affleck confirmed it. So what’s the collaboration process like on a big script like this? Kevin Smith spent a lot of time with Geoff Johns recently for the “Dawn of the Justice League” special they hosted, and revealed what Johns told him about the script.

“He’s been working on a solo script with Geoff Johns as well. Last conversation I had with Geoff Johns I was like are you working on it? And he said ‘yeah’. I said what’s it like man, how do you co-write with someone? And he’s going we just break it up, he takes halves and I take halves and then we write, and then we switch material, and then he goes over mine and I go over his.”

Let’s not forget, Ben Affleck is an Oscar-winning screenwriter. And with someone like Geoff Johns in his corner for a Batman movie, it should be something really special!

Warner Bros. revealed two mystery dates for untitled DC Comics movies earlier this week. One of them has to be Ben Affleck’s Batman movie. Stay tuned to Batman News for all the latest on that project!
