BLACK ADAM Concept Art Promo Reveals The Anti-Hero's Origin Story; Justice Society Of America Roster Teased

During the brief DC FanDome panel for Black Adam, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had plenty to say about his long overdue DC Comics movie. However, things kicked off with an awesome little teaser featuring concept art by the team of Jim Lee and BossLogic recalling the anti-hero's origin story.

In the video, we see Black Adam's early days as a slave, as well as some cool shots of him both sitting on his throne and fighting The Wizard (who we obviously met in Shazam! last year).

Noah Centineo also made a surprise appearance to hype up his role as Atom-Smasher, a character Johnson described as being "big and badass" when he stands alongside Black Adam at his full height. The actor also talked about training for the role, and he clearly hopes to give his co-star a run for his money.

Of course, that character will be part of the Justice Society of America, and we also learned during the panel that the team will consist of Hawkman, Dr. Fate, and their new recruits Cyclone and Atom Smasher. That's a pretty small team, and there are some noteable absences, but Johnson did point out that he didn't want to give away too much at such an early stage.

Regardless, you can also check them out below!

The Rock played that up closer to the Black Adam character than I thought he would. Thought he’d just make him this big badass action hero but there seems to be more nuance than that.

@Origame - I know you're being sarcastic but... This would actually work, IMO. If they didn't use Kent, but took a less human, more Nabu-controlled wearer of the helmet. She's a great actress and can do terrifying, other-worldly characters as well as more likable human parts.

@MyCoolYoung - Why do they say that? We are looking for an Allison Brie type.

Why not just cast Allison Brie.

@BlackBeltJones - Say what you will about wrestling and wrestlers, but the 90s WWF/WCW/ECW era created a pack of people that are amazing at working crowds.

Rock, Austin, Hogan: They talk and you simply react.

Hopefully this is more like Black Adam VS JSA, not just the JSA crammed into a few minutes of the movie to set up possible spin offs like most of the Justice League were in BVS

@dracula - I wouldn't mind it if this started as Black Adam being an antagonist fighting the JSA, and later on Shazam. And both of them join the JSA later on.

@kider - Really what I would want is a 5 part story told over 2 Shazam films and 2 Black Adam films and a Shazam vs Black Adam films.
Two Shazam films showing Billy's rise to being a true hero
Two Black Adam film set in the past showing him being a hero and his fall from grace, ending with him being sealed away.
Leading to their showdown

All these other panels make me sooo much more excited for the future of DC than anything that ZS showed today.

Black Adam, WW, SS, and even the Flash panels were fun and got me hyped. The ZS trailer just reminded me how not fun his films are.
