The DC film universe had a rough start with the release of Batman v Superman and it’s failure critically but also hitting the domestic goals set by Warner Bros. After the failure, Warner Bros began to make changes to their heir arch. One of those was bring Geoff Johns to assist on all DCEU films. With that being said , news broke that in addition to his role as CCO Johns had also promoted to President of DC Entertainment as well.
Bleeding Cool reports that the promotion happened quite a while ago, but it was just now beginning to circulate outside of DC:
“Apparently, this promotion happened a few months ago when his responsibilities were extended to co-running the DC film slate with Warner Bros studio’s Jon Berg, during the Batman V Superman fallout.
They just didn’t think to tell anyone. He’s still listed as Chief Creative Officer on DC Comics’ indicia, including comic books out tomorrow. You can see the current movie direction for Justice League and Wonder Woman as seen at San Diego Comic-Con as directly down to Geoff Johns, and his promotion from a mere CCO to P&CCO reflects this.”
