If Black Adam has any issue, it is the pacing. The Justice Society of America is made up of Kent Nelson’s incarnation of Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Maxine Hunkel’s Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), Albert “Al” Rothstein’s Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), and leader Carter Hall’s Hawkman (Aldis Hodge). His release signals Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), and she orders the Justice Society to retrieve and capture him. They are ambushed during the retrieval, and Sarah wakes Teth-Adam, the powerful Champion of Khandaq. Adrianna Tomaz (Sarah Shahi) is a professor of a resistance group who, along with her brother Karim (Mohammed Amer) and others, are attempting to retrieve the crown of Sabbac to prevent its power from going into Intergang’s hands. Modern-day Khandaq is under the control of Intergang, an influential DC comics crime syndicate with New Gods technology. At least, that is the story we’ve been told. It was only a matter of time before he became a fixture of one of the big superhero franchises, but DC got him as the titular Black Adam-a man born a slave who gained the power of the gods to become a champion to the trampled-upon people of Khandaq. Right now, there is likely no more significant action movie star than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
