Much of the early commentary on the ‘Black Adam’ movie has been about how he will redefine the balance of power in the DC Universe. But more importantly, I think this upcoming movie will redefine the entire direction of the DC Universe.
Although Wonder Woman, Shazam has its own movie, but the failure of ‘Justice League’, still hangs over the DC universe.
However, Dwayne Johnson starring ‘Black Adam’ is expected to give the DC universe a bright future, because the show from the trailer, he will completely break away from the Justice League organization.
Black Adam has a long history of development in DC. In particular, he was originally set to be in the Shazam movie. Later, Dwayne Johnson convinced DC and the producers that he was ushered into his own solo film for this unique role.
So that leaves the question of who will fill the superhero role in this movie. Obviously, the only logical one is Justice Society of America.
In fact, this is DC’s first real Justice League, from the golden age of DC Comics. After all, there are some very classic characters here: Doctor Fate and Hawkman.
Justice Society of America, is expected to rewrite the audience’s bad impression of Justice League. First of all, Justice Society of America has a long history that can help distract viewers from the initial impression of the DC Universe. In particular, beyond the initial narrow focus on the Justice League.
Moreover, Justice Society of America is expected to replace Justice League and become the protagonist of the future DC universe.
This is why the role of Black Adam is different from many of DC’s current movies. This role, is to stay in the DC universe.
Justice Society of America, has a long history in DC comics. Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’ cut makes a huge contribution to the DC universe.
He shows Darkseid trying to seize the power to stop him, and he fills in the gaps that many Justice League movies initially have. However, he ignores ancient powers, such as Shazam, and the power of Doctor Fate.
So, ‘Black Adam’, the movie, is expected to allow DC’s earliest superhero combinations to correct their mistakes and continue to expand the DC universe. Just like the Eternals of the Marvel Universe, their very existence expands the Marvel Universe.
As mentioned, Justice Society of America can bring a lot of superhero legacy to the DC Universe. Of course, after ‘Black Adam’ ‘The Flash’ is expected to really reboot the entire DC universe.
However, to be able to explore some of the very old heroes of the DC universe, I think it is DC back to one of their most glorious years.
Let ‘Black Adam’ movie, the appearance of this team is a very good practice. Moreover, this approach is not risky, after all, ‘Justice League’ can not be said to be successful, DC can open a new team. Coupled with Dwayne Johnson’s influence, let Justice Society of America from this movie is known to the audience, is undoubtedly a very smart approach.
And considering the fact that Justice Society of America and Justice League have little direct connection, this is a good thing for the DC Universe. Overall, I think the members of the Justice Society of America are expected to become the focus of the DC Universe in the future.
Moreover, the Black Adam movie will also allow Justice Society of America to expand and redefine the DC universe even more.
