I know the pointed ears and widow's peak haircut aren't appropriate to the character from a regional perspective, but would it have been so much to ask for the Rock to actually play Black Adam and not himself? The VFX look good, but there's too much of them… I know that is a hypocritical complaint, but the trailers lack a certain physicality because everything is computer generated. I rue the day that Iron Man got a helmet that materializes from nowhere. I don't think Brosnan is actually carrying a real helmet when you see him in civilian clothes, supposedly holding it. There's no reason not to use a prop helmet in that case. As much as I want to complain about the JSA being backdoored into a Black Adam, I have to admit they're not well known enough to carry their own film without some introduction.Otherwise - looks good. Maybe James Gunn could had taken a crack at it.

Word on the street is that Superman will be in this film. I think this film is going to be big.

It's official. Black Adam is about to become more culturally relevant than Superman.
As much as I like the idea of the two characters facing off against each other in a showdown, it does cheapen Superman to reduced him to cameo fodder. The NEW word on the street is that Henry Cavill will appear in the Flash --- for a cameo.
Cavill should just make a sign. "Will Cameo For 'Riods."
At this rate, the DCEU will never die, and it needs to. It desperately needs to be rebooted. Holding out hope for hardcore fans is cruel and unusual punishment for their loyalty. If Discovery intends to sell WB, none of this will lead to anything.

It doesn't even have a story anymore… "The DCEU is strange… and I like it."

You have to admire a profession in which there is zero consequences for spouting off bullshit most of the time. Guess he'll fight everyone except the wizards's champion. Shazam!

Johnson was asked if he’d like to see a “Black Adam vs. Superman” film, he tells Cinema Blend that’s basically the whole reason he’s done this:
“Absolutely. That is the whole point of this man … I have been saying for some time, there’s a new era in the DC Universe that’s about to begin. And what I meant by that was introducing a brand new character. It’s not a sequel, not an existing IP. It was…you know, Black Adam!”
Two years ago the world had no idea who he was. We did, but not, you know, the rest of the mass out there. Introducing the JSA, introducing that new era of the DC universe.”
Going further into that talk of a “new era in the DC Universe,” he says a big part of that is listening to fan feedback and course correcting where needed:
“What I really meant by, ‘This is a new era in the DC Universe,’ is listening to the fans. Listening to the fans. And doing our best to give the fans what they want.
And maybe, sometime down the road – and I went through this in pro wrestling – is you can’t always give them what you want. But you’ll always know that we’re listening.
And in this case, with what you and I are talking about, I have been listening and I’ve been wanting to address fans for years. Because I’ve been waiting for someone to step up and address the fans and say, ‘Hey, we hear you.’
So finally, after many months turned into many years, we ended up with what we ended up at. And the whole goal and intention now is to this new era, new time. Now let’s build out.”

With Cavill's return, this will be a home run for DC. Looks really good.

Wow - a word to the wise - Twitter has MAJOR Black Adam spoilers. I got spoiled rotten. Still going to see the movie, but there's no longer any need for me to rush out on opening night. You've been warned.

You've been warned. Apparently Halloween Ends has suffered a similar fate. I’ve tried to avoid any spoilers but it’s football season and I like to use Twitter to find out how angry fans are.

You've been warned. Spoiler culture is dead. Though I think most people guessed the biggest bombshell a while ago.

Though it’s rated PG-13, producer Hiram Garcia confirms to Collider that the sheer amount of slaughter in the narrative had the movie sporting a R-rating for much of its production time:
“We really wanted to make sure that we honored the character of Black Adam. One of the things he’s known for is his aggression and violence, and to do a Black Adam movie that didn’t have that just wouldn’t have been authentic. So we always went into this knowing that we were going to push it as far as we did.”

Producer Beau Flynn added that it took “four rounds” with the MPAA to get the movie to a PG-13 which it only received around a month ago. In terms of what had to be edited out, the film reportedly had almost twice as many scenes with Johnson brutally killing an enemy:
“We did have to make a lot of edits, actually… But we never compromised, we never had to cut a scene… You can’t play it safe, and you have to go for it. And I think we have four or five of those [memorable moments]. At one point we had about ten, and we were able to find some compromise with the MPAA on that.”
