JSA Movie Reportedly Being Considered At Warner Bros.; May Be Dependent On BLACK ADAM's Reception

Members of the Justice Society of America are expected to make their big-screen debuts in Black Adam, and if that movie is a success, the studio is said to have tentative plans for a JSA spinoff...

Could we see the Justice Society of America suit-up in their own movie? If Black Adam is a success, it might just happen.

According to The Illuminderdi, there are tentative plans in place for a JSA spinoff, but Warner Bros. will be waiting to gauge the reaction to Dwayne Johnson's antihero adventure before fully committing to the project. For this reason, it would be a stretch to say that the film was actually in development, but it only makes for the studio to keep its options open.

Although they still haven't been officially confirmed to appear, Black Adam is expected to feature the big-screen introductions of Atom Smasher, Cyclone, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Dr. Fate. Other members of the team could show up, but they're the only ones we know about based on some leaked script details.

Different incarnations of the JSA have appeared on the small screen in the likes of Smallville and Legends of Tomorrow (an all-new version will receive a chunk of the spotlight in Stargirl), but Black Adam will mark the team's feature debut.

If a JSA movie does happen, it could effectively serve as a Justice League reboot of sorts, with the likes of Wonder Woman and Aquaman joining the roster. That's pure speculation, of course, but you have to believe WB is weighing up all possibilities.

What do you guys think about the prospect of a JSA spinoff? Let us know in the comments.

Seems doubtful. Wonder who they do cast for the JSA for Black Adam; unknowns or well known actors

Cool and all but how about a MoS sequel and a Green Lantern movie first.

@Nemesis17then - batman v Superman was the man of steel sequel. Also I don't see Henry coming back to dc, continuing the Witcher is far a priority for him now.

@JustALurker - I agree I mean a standalone Superman movie sequel

@Nemesis17then -
*MoS2 starts*
General Audience: why didn't the AveNgeRs show up to help him?!

@JustALurker - *MoS starts*
General Audience: where is Nolan's batman or John Blake (aka Robbin 🤦🤦)?

Aren't they already on Stargirl? They've been in a few DC shows before, not sure they're popular enough for a movie though

@Nightwing1015 - The Stargirl lineup doesn't have the heavy hitters like Hawkman, Dr. Fate, etc;

@BlackBeltJones - According to these scoop sites every single A-Z list Marvel and DC character has films/tv shows in development

@tmp3 - Yes, but this one makes sense. It's all but confirmed the JSA will have a big role in Black Adam. It would be a surprise if they WEREN'T prepping a potential spin-off.

I mean...the source is...whatever but hopefully, we'll get there.
You know, eventually.

In a perfect world, Black Adam would just be in a Shazam movie and a JSA movie would be made based on the strength of the source material alone.

I don't think that aside from Snyder's Justice League we won't be seeing the Justice League for a while, so I don't mind seeing the Justice Society instead. They can easily add Wonder Woman, Shazam, the original Black Canary, Flash and Green Lantern to the team

JSA getting a lot of deserved attention now. Stargirl and Black Adam.

Here we go again. After 10 years of developing Black Adam they'll see if it deserves a sequel and a team spin-off. Then they'll spend 4 years developing that. Then when it gets mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes they'll frantically edit every other DC movie in response, then hit pause on all production until they can determine what people want. Meanwhile Marvel moves on to Phase 8 and makes billions more by having an actual plan and trusting the creativity of the artists.

Whatever happened to New Gods? I haven’t heard a peep about that film in like a year.

If this report is to be believed it just illustrates a problem I have with WB. As much as I would love to see a Justice Society movie, Hawkman leading a team of Hawkgirl, Stargirl, Mister Terrific, etc is a dream come true, but why does it hinge on the reception of them in Black Adam? So it’ll take an additional 2 or 3 years after Black Adam comes out for them to get a movie, while they are far less hot? And do they not have confidence that the movie they are making will be well received? Why are they making it if they have no confidence?

I'd love to see a JSA movie... as long as they kept close to the comic's tone, and lose the DARK.

I want a JSA movie so bad. Hopefully, it will happen.

I'm totally fine with this happening. I'm looking forward to seeing how the movie will handle Dr. Fate and Jakeem Thunder.
