Name really one great movie recently where he was the only writer on that was good.
Last one was Blade 2 which was is close to 15 years old.
He isn't the only writers on those movies.

Join us next week as we announce Taylor Lautner as Billy Batson.
Goyer is a good writer for ideas. At least I trust him to crank out a decent story. I just want someone else to add a bit of flair to his dialogue. The only fault I can attribute to MoS is that the dialogue is too dry. BvS was a dramatic improvement in that department and I'm willing to bet that was Terrio's contribution.

Snyder and Goyer must perform some sort of chaos magic and have WB under a strong spell.
HOW!?
HOW!?
Oh man, I'd mark out if Guy's crew in that film was the fucking JLI goons. Ice and Fire and Kyle is all 'the fuck is wrong with his face' re: Captain Atom.

Yikes... forgot he had credit on BVS
I love how I know that's fucking Bendis immediately, even though I've never read that comic.

I don't see this as a problem. Blade 1 and 2 are great. As long as he sticks to writing, and doesn't ham it up, I'm in.

I'm actually kind of surprised to see he got a writing credit instead of just a story credit, unless that's not a thing and I'm just making it up. Leading up to release, Affleck definitely talked about BvS like it was a one man job, giving Terrio all the "credit".
That dialogue is the least Doctor Strange dialogue ever. It's like he's some English teacher students aren't paying attention to.

Though this I learned Goyer and this Justin Rhodes fella are writing the script for Guillermo del Toro's Fantastic Voyage remake.
Hypothetically if they can get a director like del Toro on it to manage the material of this Green Lantern Corps movie, there could be something there. But at the same time, if del Toro was willing to direct a DC movie, he shouldn't stayed on Justice League Dark/Dark Universe. And Doug Liman would've been a better fit for Green Lantern Corps if he had to direct a DC movie.
His credit on BvS is mostly a political thing. But there are leftovers from his script in the final movie, like the whole Knightmare bit.

No slant of theatrics at all, so weird. He turned into Reed for a hot minute.
Bendis really has one voice. His.

David "the Martian manhunter is lame" Goyer will be a perfect fit to make cosmic DC movies

As long as they play up John's background as an architect and don't make him the black best friend, I'll be happy.
Also Blade 2 had Guillermo del Toro and this movie does not, so there is no point in bringing up Blade. Unless you're talking about the television show.

2017, blade 1 and 2 shouldn't be a measure stick. They are products of their time

Of the two, John should really be the main character, and the one who gets in crossovers (and Hal should be killed off and replaced with Kyle in the sequels).
Agreed 100%. Goyer's always been kind of crappy on his own, but he can put out great work with a partner. And I think Johns is the perfect guy to pair him with. They did such great things together on JSA back in the day, so they should already have solid rapport.
Right? If you're gonna do a Corps movie and not a solo, Kyle and Guy are just so much better.
Space bros.
I'm not going for the John Stewart disrespect.
also Guy and John are the best duo

He's not gonna rest until he's in every franchise.
That would be the cherry on top

If he's John Stewart... fuck it, Josh Dushamel as Hal Jordan. You need two guys equal on the bland Hollywood level.

Goyer is abysmal, I have 0 hope for Green Lantern Corps. now. I love Geoff Johns, but he can't save it from Goyer's terrible writing/story structure.

Goyer? This probably won't be worse than the 2011 film, but if that's the goal, they're off to a great start.

Hard to know where this is going yet. Dude is garbage when writing alone but with a cowriter I've liked a few of his movies
The lethal weapon/48hrs style concept makes me really wish they got shane black to help out a bit.

He's being credited for story so he already is helping.
Brilliant. Made my day, haha.
