DC's "Black Adam" (Oct. 21, 2022)

[Jello Biafra]

I'm not that knowledgeable on the comics. does Black Adam deserve its own stand alone movie? @Ed MOTHERfukkING G

Black Adam was the first agent of The Wizard Shazam back in the ancient Egypt days. He was a hero until he fell in love with and got corrupted by The Wizard Shazam's evil daughter. Adam turned on The Wizard, killed the rulers of Kahdaq (his home country) becoming the new Pharoah and tried to take The Wizard's power for his own because he felt he would put those powers to better use as the ruler of the world. Ultimately, Adam was defeated by the Wizard and imprisoned for centuries.

Adam's whole story of a hero's downfall is perfect for a movie and allows for him to be built up as a major multi-faceted character.

If Dwayne manages to score DC/Warners that unanimous hit...

If they come with a 'Gods Of Egypt' type cast for this...

fukk with khandaq or Isis and this happens

Btw I don't know what the fukk they edited the captions to

If any villian can do it, he can.

He has a tragic back story which made him UNSPEAKABLY vengeful. He is like Dr doom in the sense that his allegiance is to his nation, fukk everyone else...And when he raged out

World War III

He made the entire world bow down for a week...Probably the biggest non cosmic threat in dc history

I don't know if I like Shazam being broken in two films but it does mean DC will push him in comics I hope. The tone for Shazam can be light hearted and childish fun, because that's what Shazam is, and black Adam can be badassery.

I hope it works, they're both top 3 villians and heroes ever to me.

The first movie shows Adam's rise and fall that ends with an epilogue of The Wizard Shazam in the Rock of Eternity reaching out to try and make contact with Billy Batson.
The second movie shows Billy meeting The Wizard and getting his powers; Sivana unleashing Black Adam from his captivity and Shazam vs Black Adam as the major battle.

basically DC /WarnerBros thinks Dwayne"the rock' Johnson can do a better superman like character then Henry Cavill

Black Adam is one of DC's best "complicated villain/sometimes anti-hero" characters.
Dude takes over whole countries and kills their leaders on live TV. But he can fly and has super-strength so he's another Superman.

DC and WB continue to prove they are just not good at this. ... but marveltard and whatnot, etc and so on.

Not trying to start an argument but exactly how is giving an actual box office star a solo movie a bad thing?

I'd rather The Rock kayfabe acquire superpowers, then tangle with Superfag. Then WWE would be part of the DC Universe

Taker vs Supes

Anti hero if you must. I don't support this bruh. Black Adam is very strong but I don't see the need for a solo movie. This is just another Dwayne Johnson vehicle. As long as he doesn't join JL 2 I'm fine.

what are you talking about. shyt isn't even a WB movie and how does announcing a movie prove they aren't good at this?

that seems to be their strategy. there's zero reason for a friggin Deadshot movie either. This wouldn't be bad if they weren't doing the "universe" approach, it's not gonna work. Shazam was scheduled for 2020 or some shyt, and there was zero buzz for it. What the hell is the point of announcing a split now? They're trying way too hard to do the Marvel schedule, but everyone is down on them now. Drop a few actually good movies first, whet people's appetite, THEN start adding movies to the docket. they have zero patience.

I'm with Conz here. Because you're supposed to focus on the main heroes before these side projects. Like why do we need a deadshot film? Black Adam? Marvel focused on their main heros first and there's not quiksilver movie or whatever either. Do one thing at a time.

does Warner Brothers not own DC?

see my other post. their growth isn't organic. they haven't even earned the right to ask people to get excited about random characters like this when they can't even get their core fukkin characters right first.

It's a New Line film, not WB and aren't we getting Batman, WW, JL, Aquaman, Flash, GL before these movies? You guys think these movies are coming out next year, Rock is shooting like 5 different movies outside of this, shyt isn't happening right away. The article said there's no script or director for BA, same with Deadshot
