Absolute Justice

January 13, 2010: Geoff Johns Talks "Smallville: Absolute Justice"

ComicBookResources.com caught up with Geoff Johns and, amongst other things, asked him about the up-coming two hour "Smallville: Absolute Justice" tele-movie. Here's a portion of the interview...

    Can you share any other details about the upcoming two-hour episode of "Smallville" you scripted?

    The whole experience was great. The producers asked me if I had any interest in coming back after working on the Legion of Super-Heroes episode last season, and part of the appeal was, of course, getting to introduce a version of the JSA to the "Smallville" mythos in much the same way. I thought getting to introduce the first live-action version of the Justice Society of America would be a great challenge and something really fun to try and do.

    It's great that we've had Superman and Batman all over the place, but I'm a pretty big advocate of the other DC superheroes and villains and everything that we have and the potential to translate them to TV, and film, and video games, etc., I think often Superman and Batman are always the focus for that, and I hope to see that change. That's why I'm doing a little bit of what I can to introduce the other characters to the public at large. I think even on a slow night, "Smallville" hits about three million people, so you'll have three million people that night meet the Justice Society of America for the first time and find out what they're all about, and even if a fraction of those start to become more interested in the characters, that would double, triple or even quadruple the number of people who are interested in the JSA now.
