Geoff Johns Now Says That The DC Films Universe Is "100% Connected"

Confused yet? DC Films boss Geoff Johns has taken to social media to clarify his recent comments about whether or not the movies take place within a shared universe and you can find that after the jump.

In a recent interview, Geoff Johns revealed that Warner Bros. is moving away from the need to make every one of their movies feel connected after Justice League. He was basically talking about them being like Wonder Woman in the respect that they take place in the same world but are mostly standalone adventures which don't necessarily set up what's going to happen in subsequent releases. 

Many fans weren't happy with that and a lot of sites misunderstood his comments as they assumed Johns meant that the concept of a shared film universe was being ditched altogether. That's not the case, though, and he's taken to Twitter to make it clear these heroes will remain in the same world. 

Warner Bros. is working on a series of totally standalone movies but it seems we can expect the Justice League characters to remain part of the same universe even if they don't always cross paths in their solo outings. In recent years, Marvel Studios has very much gone for team-up stories with Thor and Hulk paired up in Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-Man and Iron Man together in Spider-Man: Homecoming

That's not something we should expect from the DC Films Universe, so how does that make you feel?

@Equivocal - Joker movie is Elseworld aka Multiverse. How hard is that to understand?

@bangarangrufio - They haven't officially established a multiverse, let alone a proper Elseworld universe yet, within their films. So far, we've only seen somewhat of an alternate future. Hopefully JL and Flashpoint will remedy that and explore more of those concepts, or at least allude further toward those things.

However, don't expect the new standalone Joker movie, or any movie from the new label to exist within the multiverse, or even be in continuity within the preexisting, mainstream, and unified DCF/CU. They're part of a brand new label for a reason. It'll allow more creative input from the filmmakers who'd probably want to take much more liberties from the source and put their own spin on these characters and worlds.

So, in essence they could be considered as "Elseworld" stories, however they won't officially be tied to anything of that sort.
