Through perseverance, Geoff ended up as the assistant to Richard Donner, working on Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4. During that time, he also began his comics career writing Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. and JSA (co-written with David S. Goyer) for DC Comics. He worked with Richard Donner for four years, leaving the company to pursue writing full-time.

His first comics assignments led to a critically acclaimed five-year run on the The Flash. Since then, he has quickly become one of the most popular and prolific comics writers today, working on such titles including a highly successful re-imagining of Green Lantern, Action Comics (co-written with Richard Donner), Teen Titans, Justice Society of America, Infinite Crisis and the experimental breakout hit series 52 for DC with Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid.

Lex Luthor continúa con su tradición diaria de elegir a alguien entre la multitud bajo su torre y brindarle una nueva vida. Elige a Rudy Jones, quien se acerca con entusiasmo. Mientras lo hace, Lex exige una audiencia con Lois Lane para hablar sobre el hombre volador.

Lois y Perry debaten la historia del hombre volador, mientras los demás reporteros observan con interés. Aparecen los matones de Luthor y exigen que Lois los acompañe, y piden que Clark también vaya. Lois accede, dada la oportunidad de interrogar finalmente a Luthor.
