The age of the anti-hero has officially hit the DC Extended Universe. Comic books have always embraced the heroes who are a little less black and white than media has often portrayed them, and Black Adam is no different. A villain to some, a hero to others, The Rock will bring to life a character with decades of comic book lore. Plus, we finally get Doctor Fate in live action!

Best fan moment of the year
Simply the fact that the movie was even made. After 15 years of attempting to bring Black Adam to our screens, Dwyane “The Rock“ Johnson and the team behind Black Adam finally made that happen! One of the most iconic villains in comic book history, known for his epic battles with the likes of Shazam, the Justice Society of America, and Superman, finally became a star on the silver screen. It was a testament to the hard work of those behind the scenes and the constant clamoring of the fans who love the character that this film was released.
What we’ll remember about this fandom a decade from now
Optimistically, we will look back on this film as the turning point for DC Studios. A film that will help right the ship as one of the comic book powerhouse finally finds stability in the filmmaking arena. A potential launching pad out of the uncertainty that clouded and ultimately derailed the Snyderverse and into a universe that could see other revered characters finally hit it big. If nothing else, it will be a testament to the power of fans who simply believe —The Rock included.
