in fairness... in fairness, which "great" films are we talking about on this side of the "stan war?"Realized how silly these stan wars are in the middle of a conversation yesterday and just stopped responding. Got people arguing over and nitpicking great films like we ain't came from some real garbage from the 80's and 90's on both sides as far as comic movies go.

DC fukking up like usual.
You have a Shazaam propery, start off with Shazaam, incorporate Black Adamn into the story, IF, BIG IF, popular, now you have an additional movie with Black Adam to go into his back story and world build, but as usual DC putting all their eggs in one basket praying for a hit and leaving themselves outthere.

And bump it, let all these characters get some run as far as I'm concerned. Get the right producers and directors and it will be straight. Folks were skeptical of Antman and they did their thing with it. I'm sure there were only a handful of people saying "I'm telling you, Star Lord can carry a movie" before Guardians, now that joint about to be a franchise and probably a trilogy. Hopefully this leads to some lower tier character getting a shot like Static.

The Rock has star power.. he been cast as Black Adam even before WB cast him as Black Adam.. they have no Billy, no Captain Marvel..
it probably came down to the Rock is popular enough ..let's make something before we loose the rights..
By doing Black Adam first .. it gives us a back story and gives the studio an extra 2 years to find a Billy and shazam

yeah. black adam deserves his own solo flick. but not sure how you start with black adam. you almost need him to pop up in a flick and show you just how completely badass, unhinged and evil he can be. so that when you explain why later the theater is full of
's and 
's. not a character i would put in a sympathetic light off the bat.

This could go down as one of the great comic book flicks. If they dont harbor on his hero days for too long and let him be a villain for more than half the movie. Just hope they dont change his story too much to make him too sympathetic. Need a real ass comic book villain that gives no fukks
this should read "leave a little money for the rest of em." how much has this dude banked in the past few years? He's gotta be worth a quarter bil at this point.This thread already

I guessing this will be back when Adam was a hero and his first heel turn
Rock aint playing no villain. He has a brand to maintain.
This will be Hercules 2.0.

This could be really good. Black Adam was great under Geoff Johns' JSA run. A Black Adam origin movie + Shazam sequel where he's the villain would be
