In Black Adam, we're introduced to the DC Extended Universe's Justice Society of America. The team is comprised of Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Pierce Brosnan's Dr. Fate, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone, and Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher.
The latter embarks on his first adventure here and clearly has big shoes to fill. On his way to Carter Hall's mansion, he catches up with his uncle by video chat, but Uncle Al - the first Atom Smasher - has a familiar face. Did you recognise him?
It's Hollywood legend Henry Winkler, who is perhaps most famous for playing the Fonz in Happy Days.
Of course, he's taken on plenty of other noteworthy roles over the years, including Arrested Development, Barry, and The French Dispatch. It's an unexpected, somewhat strange cameo, though the Black Adam team clearly wanted to surprise moviegoers with a well-known, likeable actor for this comedic exchange.
This is a departure from the comic books where Al Pratt, or "Uncle Al" in the DCEU, is actually Al Rothstein's godfather rather than his uncle.
It's established that Al is wearing his uncle's suit for this team-up with the JSA, so this is a nice nod to this shared world's history and the fact superheroes have existed for a long time. That does slightly contradict what we saw in movies like Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but this society of superheroes has clearly been around for a while.
Whereas Zack Snyder appeared to view Superman as the world's first superhero, this new era of storytelling looks to be creating a similar reality to the comic books where heroes and villains have spent decades battling each other. What's most confusing, though, is why Amanda Waller appears so heavily involved with the team after the events of Peacemaker.
