Like in the leaked version, last night's premiere of
NBC's Constantine featured an Easter Egg that many should have noticed, Doctor
fate's helmet.
Speaking with Buzzfeed DC
Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns reveals that that wasn't just a tease for fans,
and that we likes the idea of using pre-existing shows like Arrow, Flash,
Gotham and so on to launch new characters and new shows.
"We’re trying to utilize as many characters as we
possibly can, but there is a conscious effort to explore the DC universe. Like
on Constantine, we already have Jim Corrigan, we put Dr. Fate’s
helmet in the pilot; that wasn’t just an Easter egg. I like the term
Easter egg, but I prefer all our easter eggs actually lead somewhere, that
they’re foreshadowing. So a lot of the things we’ve planted in these series are
there to lead to and introduce new characters.
One
of the great things about Smallville was that it introduced Green Arrow, so there was
an awareness. And even though Arrow is a totally different character, there was some
pre-awareness for the character that, I think, helped The CW get behind the
show. The more we can get these characters out there, the more people are aware
of them, and become inspired by them. There might be someone out there who sees
Dr. Fate on an episode of Constantine and suddenly they love that character and they
become a creator later on and tell me they have a great take for a Dr. Fate TV
show. That’s what we want to happen. We want to inspire people with this stuff.
And we want to get it out there. Like, I can’t believe Gorilla Grodd’s gonna be
in a Flash TV show. That’s insane. Like, I say it out loud
and I still think it’s insane. But that’s what we want to do; we want to break
new ground. Like, Firestorm [Robbie Amell] is going to be seen in live-action!
We’re going to have a freakin’ Justice League movie! How crazy exciting is that? To see all
this stuff happen, it gets me really, really excited. Who ever thought we’d see
an Ant-Man movie? Like, if you’re a fan of superheroes or
comic books, to see all this stuff coming to life — and done with skill and
talent … we never could have made a Flash show with effects like this a few years ago."
