How do you feel about Black Adam?
Overview
Black Adam Storyline
In the ancient land of Kahndaq, a slave rises against tyranny after being granted god-like powers by the Council of Wizards. Known as Teth-Adam, he becomes a legend… and a warning. Nearly 5,000 years later, he is awakened into a modern world still plagued by violence and oppression.
Now called Black Adam, his return draws the attention of the Justice Society of America (JSA) — including Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone — who seek to contain his unchecked power. But as dark forces rise in Kahndaq and its people cry out for a protector, Black Adam must choose: will he be the world’s destroyer, or its savior?
This origin story redefines the anti-hero archetype in the DCEU and sets the stage for epic confrontations to come.

Black Adam Review 6/10
We have rated this 6 out of 10. We rated Black Adam a strong 8/10 — a visually intense, action-heavy spectacle that finally brings one of DC’s most powerful anti-heroes to the big screen. Dwayne Johnson commands the role with gravity and physicality, portraying a character torn between vengeance and justice.
The introduction of the Justice Society adds depth and fan service, especially with standout performances by Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate and Aldis Hodge as Hawkman. While the plot follows a familiar path, the sheer energy, intense combat scenes, and darker tone give it a unique flavor in the DCEU.
Some of the humor and supporting character arcs feel underdeveloped, but overall, it delivers exactly what fans were hoping for: power, mythology, and a whole lot of lightning.
Did You Know?
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was attached to play Black Adam for over a decade before the film was finally made.
- The film’s director, Jaume Collet-Serra, previously worked with Johnson on Jungle Cruise.
- Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate uses a combination of CGI and practical costume effects — and his helmet has no eye holes, reflecting the character’s mystical nature.
- The film hints at Intergang, a criminal organization tied to Darkseid in DC Comics.
- The mid-credit scene features a major cameo by Henry Cavill’s Superman, though plans for future confrontations were shelved after the DCEU reboot announcement.
- The Justice Society’s inclusion marks their first live-action film appearance, despite decades of comic book history.
- Kahndaq is a fictional country in the DC Universe, heavily inspired by ancient Egypt and Middle Eastern cultures.
