Black Adam Takes on the Justice Society in New Trailer

We may only be getting on DC movie this year, and it’s going to be the Rock’s passion project Black Adam. The film is set to come out next month, and we have a new trailer giving us a better look at Adam’s backstory as well as the Justice Society of America.

Check this out:

While the Adam’s story has been pretty much explained in previous trailers, here we get a lot more of the JSA, which looks to be a fully-functioning superhero group, complete with a fancy headquarters and high-tech jet.

I guess it’s also a new revelation that the JSA is working with Amanda Waller. Though Waller has been known to pull strings for Task Force X, I can imagine that she’s also fine with sending ‘heroes’ to do work that is less morally gray—and Adam is pretty much characterized as being inbetween.

So far, the film looks pretty impressive, and it should be an interesting expansion of the DCEU. The franchise may have been gutted after the Discovery merger, but we’ll see where it goes.

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam was bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Black Adam. Nearly 5,000 years have passed and Black Adam has gone from man, to myth, to legend. Now released, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone.

Black Adam is set to fly into theaters this Oct. 21.
