While there are a lot of questions about the DC Comics television and film universes as a whole, there are a few certainties that fans are looking forward to–the largest being Black Adam. This film has been years in the making, and by all accounts, it’s going to be something very different in the world of heroes. This origin story is going to have a very different cast of characters overall as the Justice Society of America will be in it from the get go.
Why is that so different? Think about it–when showing the origins of a character, a team-up is teased after they get their powers and hit their stride. Here, Black Adam is awakening after centuries of being sealed away, and he wakes up to a world that does have protectors–but ones that don’t exactly meet his standards in terms of getting things done.
The star of the film, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has touted the JSA since it was revealed they’d be in the movie, and many pieces of art have highlighted just how intertwined they’re going to be portrayed, With a new poster, seen above, further highlighting this fact.
In the trailer that was released for the movie, we see them try to guide Adam on his path to victory for his home nation–but again, he has a very different definition of justice.
Hopefully we’ll get another good look at the film before too long, as it’s set to arrive in theaters on October 21.
