James Gunn is a super nerd and heтАЩs super creative. HeтАЩs both the writer and director of the Superman movie, and heтАЩs sort of the creative force behind all of thisтАж and he reached out to a group of screenwriters and myself, fantastic, amazing whose names heтАЩs put out there, and to work on making these movies and tv shows as good as they can be.


And it was his way of saying, you know, we need nerds in the room we need writers and that this sort of DC renaissance, this DC revolution, is going to be very much a storytelling, itтАЩs story first, we want to tell fantastic stories. That is where we are starting, stopping.
