Geoff Johns has been promoted to president and chief creative officer of DC Entertainment.

Early rumors have now been confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, who say he holds these roles at the Warner Bros. division, and answers to Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment, president of Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and president and chief content officer of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Johns was part of a DC Comics executive shuffle back in May, which saw him moved over to co-run a dedicated DC movies division with Jon Berg. THR says Johns received his new title when this promotion happened.

Previously, Johns was CCO of DC Entertainment, where he was involved in the development of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. He has also had stints writing on the Justice League, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Justice Society of America comics.

Currently, Johns is working on Ben Affleck's standalone Batman movie, and it has been revealed he co-wrote the Wonder Woman screenplay.
