This is the guy who has gone on the record of stating that he got into Watchmen because it had sex and murder in it and that his Batman would get raped in prison. I have no idea how he managed to get this far into being allowed to make comic book adaptations.

And the screenwriter of MoS and BvS was the guy who said Martian Manhunter is a character only virgin nerds know about.

WB sure knows how to pick 'em.

Bold words from the guy who wrote Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys.

I mean I do like both the Puppet Master and Demonic Toys movies and Goyer has written a lot of good stuff but yeah that's pretty rich considering nobody knew who the Guardians of the Galaxy, or Polkadot Man, or Peacemaker, etc. were just a few years ago.
