All of these writers were hired last year before GL flopped. The JL, Flash, WW writers, all of them.
Which is why all the excitement seems weird to me. A Variety writer recently found out who they hired a year ago and yet these news snippets are being treated as current developments.
I'm sure some sort of DC team-up flick will happen after Avengers but it won't involve anyone who worked on Green Lantern except maybe Johns.
So it sounds like this whole thing is just PR spin from WB. They pretty much got their asses handed to them on a silver platter for the mishandling of their properties (other than Batman), and now that Avengers is a huge success they're trying to spin it like they're back on track.
Honestly WB is not much different than Fox, i.e. a bunch of bureaucrats running a movie studio. The big difference is Warner had some good franchises in Potter, the Nolan films, but now that's all dried up and they are realizing they have virtually no bankable properties going forward.
