, meaning the alleged meeting between Fisher and the investigator would have taken place less than a week later.
On Friday night, Warner Bros. responded to a claim from Fisher made on Twitter earlier in the day, specifically regarding the conduct of the top executive at theirThe WarnerMedia-owned shop flatly denied Fisher’s claims that DC Films chiefattempted to play filmmakers off of one another to assuage the actor’s problems with the representation of his character, Cyborg — who fights alongside Batman, Wonder Woman and others.
The response was sparked by a Friday tweet from Fisher, which involved ongoing accusations he’s made against “Justice League” pinch-hitter director Joss Whedon, and film producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. Earlier this summer, Fisher accused Whedon of emotionally abusive behavior on set. On Friday, he said Hamada attributed this behavior to Whedon and Berg alone.
“After speaking out about Justice League, I received a phone call from the President of DC Films wherein he attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns,” Fisher said. “I will not.”In July, Ray Fisher’s representatives asked DC Films President Walter Hamada to talk to Mr. Fisher about his concerns during the production of “Justice League.” The two had previously spoken when Mr. Hamada asked him to reprise his role as Cyborg in Warner Bros.
While Mr. Fisher never alleged any actionable misconduct against him, WarnerMedia nonetheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he’d raised about his character’s portrayal. Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third party investigator. This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator. Warner Bros.
Pathetic people shilling for Geoff because he wrote a comic book they like. You know why hollywood is a bad workspace. It's because of stupid people like these.
GraceRandolph can you say something or doing a video about this?
Great, Doom Patrol is fucking way better than Fishers version.
I don't really see a problem there. DC is doing multiple versions of their characters at the same time and aiming to create a multiverse narrative, so two Cyborgs it's definitely not a problem 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, who we gonna believe? A dude who's arguably risking his career who doesn't give a fuck about money, but trying to make sure people are held accountable for their actions. Or the multi billion dollar studio that just wants him to shut up and play shinny metal man.
What an odd thing to take offense over. I mean, even if he was being a dick about it, the only way it’d hold any weight is if Fisher expressed interest in playing him in every medium and he was rubbing in his face he wasn’t being cast in Doom Patrol.
RTSnyderCut IStandWithRayFisher as his is risking everything but also has nothing to lose. Gettem’ Ray!

Maybe Ray Fisher should stop posting videos of vague accusations and actually meet with the 3rd party investigator he demanded. ReleaseTheReceipts
I hope Ray Fisher can reconcile with Geoff Johns instead of firing him.
FireGeoffJohns
BoycottGeoffJohns
? This seems like a dick move more than anything else (by Geoff Johns). Warner Bros TV and Warner Bros movies are two different divisions, no? Legally there maybe been requirements for differing actors. Not making much of this.
He’s definitely done as cyborg
The way he goes on you'd think something horribly illegal happened on set, but so far all we've heard is vague nonsense. Gloating? Okay, but what's the context? DC usually has different actors for their tv shows and movies. This is just egos and creative differences.
We been knew about that snake in the grass
Oh wow, so according to Ray, Geoff is a 3rd grader now. He gloats at the other kids when he has a new toy. Did he gloat about taking your Kool-Aid too, Ray?
Oh please. He keeps teasing bombshells and all its's accomplishing is keeping people talking about the Snyder Cut, which is the only hope Fisher has of salvaging his career. Even if his claims about Johns were true (which I doubt) no producer is going to want him after this.
geoffjohns is cancelled. There's no hiding this time. You picked the wrong guy. IStandWithRayFisher
IStandWithRayFisher
For anyone saying there isn't any evidence, or what's been said so far is no big deal and just how things are done... 1) Ray doesn't owe you or anyone in the public sphere info. That's for an independent investigator to handle. 2) Fuck you, refer to point 1.
So he’s mad that GJ is proud of a new Cyborg? 🤣 Cyborg from Doom patrol is way better than this nobody 🤣
I’m starting to understand why all these producers and directors hated this guy. I don’t think this is the path to get more work, my dude.
Not for nothing but they also have a different Batman, Superman, Flash on TV as well. Just saying.
What a mess, WB. IStandWithRayFisher
IStandWithRayFisher
Ya ima jus go ahead and say i liked the snyderverse but rays cyborg was by far the weakest of the JL actors. He is probably right about johns,berg.. but hes Reaching to say hamada is part of some massive conspiracy, without proof. Just recast Cyborg and move on already.
The Good and the savior of DC Comics year ago
IStandWithRayFisher
Can they just recast Cyborg and let's move on?!
Wasnt it obvious? What the hell does Cyborg have to do with Doom Patrol? Didnt make sense at the time...now its clear. It also isnt the first time he inserts his personal narratives (or himself) into productions
For those who say this is lame or weaksauce just pretend its Robert Downey jr, Chris Evans, or Ryan Reynolds saying these things...you may care then,.
IStandWithRayFisher
Ruined the DCEU, Justice League & Superman. Made us lose our 1st movie universe black superhero's big moment. Leaked the DCEU plans to Feige. Have us out here begging for the AyerCut & SnyderCut 😐👎 IStandWithRayFisher DCComics WarnerMedia warnerbros ATT
Good for me, Im a Snyder fan, but if all of this tweets, videos and news its because a 'recast' in 2018... Mmm, I mean, the actor of Cyborg in Doom Patrol is good.
Accountability over entertainment IStandWithRayFisher
This is a very stupid point by Ray Fisher because WB does so little planning that there is usually at least three versions of each DC character. How many Bruce Waynes have we had in the past five years? Lois Lanes? Deathstrokes?
Ray has receipts 🧾 shit is about to get real. Every single one of you fuckers attacking Ray, I hope you can look yourself in the mirror and not feel ashamed.
People in Hollywood are strange
Geoff Johns is a duplicitous SNAKE IStandWithRayFisher
I don’t get all this and just don’t care.
dcumoviepage New faces running wbpictures same disgusting antics. WB needs a clear out ATT WarnerMedia Are joss geoffjohns really worth it? They’re bad for the studio! IStandWithRayFisher
Are you telling us about kindergarten playground fights?
geoffjohns
Look I like Geoff and Joss but I'm not opposed to hearing about their faults. But so far Ray's made it sound like his complaints are going to be scandalous, awful, and shocking and so far they've just been kinda lame At the moment I can't see how DC brings him back
This is the tip of ice berg not the main issue. So everyone condemning him just wait and see what comes out
Geoff Johns is the leader of HAMAS secretly.
This ray dweeb should stop whining like a bitchhhhh 🚫🙄🙄
IStandWithRayFisher
Does anyone care?
Don't want to start a controversy here, but honestly Geoff Johns has given me a lot of joys and good times with his work and stories over the years. He may not be a perfect person but his work and influence speak for him. Nothing against Ray Fisher...(1)
Yeah, sounds like the short version is that he listened to what they had to say, said 'right, I'm gonna need legal representation on this', and they turned round and told the world he was 'uncooperative'. Absolute hack-job on their part. Disgraceful. IStandWithRayFisher
It's that time of the year when people who've got nothing to lose are going against the greedy, selfish, powerful people.
IStandWithRayFisher
Pretty convenient how he always stops short whenever he's asked for specific details about his accusations. He demanded the 3rd party investigator, got it, & now won't cooperate or get back to them. There's always an excuse with this guy. Warner Bros. called his bluff, it's over.
More like Cryborg.
So, He is making an excuse for chickening out first time.What about the rest?....This liar is clearly running. 'This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator.'
Now hire an investigator to investigate the investigation.
Where's all the rioters at? WB studios needs a make over...so does geoff johns office.
IStandWithRayFisher ♥️
Warner need to sort this out soon either get rid of take him to court
What happened
I dont get it. Its starting to look like children bickering and fighting instead of people trying to prove their sides which is the important part
wbpictures has a history of lying outright to their fans and paying trades to run hit pieces. I don’t know how investors haven’t fired and blacklisted geoffjohns who is literally leaking to Disney and thejonberg who is enabling bullying, all the while making terrible products.
Warner liars and their spokesperson lied 🤨👎

wbpictures caught lying again. Why you keep doing this to yourself dawg
robertliefeld Meanwhile Geoff Johns last book sold 300,000 copies. He’s full of crap and has been since the getgo. “Upset his script revisions weren’t kept” 😂 its the directors job..
“Claiming”?!! How about the truth.
So Warner Bros are liars...
Ser_Jon_Arryn we'll stand with him for his rights and for the truth to come out. IStandWithRayFisher
IStandWithRayFisher
Now he's the villain? What's the point of the investigation? The focus is not him
...doesn't this confirm what WB is saying? That he's refusing to talk to the investigator?
What a frickin' mess.
He met with the guy, wouldn't talk to him, said they had to reschedule and now won't cooperate at all - whomp whomp
robertliefeld I knew wb were liars when they said zack snyder was the one who asked Joss Whedon to take over justice league
just like we told everyone, WB are liars and are just trying to bury Ray and his career and claims. IStandWithRayFisher
The day of reckoning is here IStandWithRayFisher
So does that mean that WB lied all this time?
Things getting spicy.
