For those not in the know, Geoff Johns has been one of the key architects behind the DC comics universe in the 21st century, writing acclaimed runs with major players like Green Lantern, Superman, The Flash and, er, Hawkman. Put simply, he knows what he's doing when it comes to superheroes, and he's a well-trusted presence to the majority of the fanbase.

He's also a writer and producer on the current Flash TV series, which is a breezy, enjoyable superhero romp that doesn't suffer from the same dour angst as the DC cinematic universe.

Hopefully Johns and co-writer Allan Heinberg will be able to inject some of that fun and energy into Diana's story and take us away from the misery model that Snyder and Ayer's films have perpetuated.
