>The movie begins in the 1940’s, with Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson) killing the Council of Wizards and unleashing the Seven Deadly Sins. The wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou) recruits the Justice Society of America – Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Flash, Green Lantern and Doctor Fate – to stop him. They defeat Black Adam and lock him up in a magic tomb.
>On present day, Black Adam escapes and sets out to conquer the world. Doctor Fate, who is immortal, and Hawkman & Hawkgirl, who have been reborn, must assemble a new team to stop him, recruiting two young meta-human vigilantes, Cyclone and Atom-Smasher. They are later joined by Black Adam’s immortal lover, Isis, who is living among humans under the identity of “Adrianna Tomaz”.
>Isis might actually get to be Isis Neat. The one on LoT is a qt, but it's weird putting a character in there that was cockblocked by movie shit from the start.
Lincoln Carter
>the Rock Black Adam being a villain
Haha no he already said he wouldn't do the part if Black Adam was going to be a villain
Kayden Gray
No, he didn't.
Kayden Richardson
Wait, I thought Black Adam was from way ancient times of Pharaohs and shit
Nathan Fisher
>Adrianna Tomaz Is this why they changed Zari and Behrad's last name in LoT
Cooper Butler
I never understood The Rock playing Black Adam thing. Black Adam (at least the version from the 00s, when The Rock was first mentioned as an idea) is always very serious and stoic...something none of The Rock's characters are. Is it just his connection from the Mummy?
Jaxon Murphy
She's not being called Isis, they're calling her Adriana
Jordan Martinez
In the mid 2000s, before he blew up to become what he is today, he looked remarkably like Black Adam and he was playing more serious roles (Walking Tall, Southland Tales, The Rundown).
I think the Rock can still be a serious actor if he wants to be.
Logan Gutierrez
This Whats your source you possibly fat liar?
Juan Williams
The source is in the link
Austin Allen
This may be a line form the movie given the fact parts of the script have leaked
>"You are persistent." >"I'm Middle Eastern, we persist or die."
I like that they are playing up he's Arab, but I can already picture people getting their panties in a twist that Dwayne isn't actually Middle Eastern
Pic related is a description of the tone of the movie
user. No one believes these fake rumors about this movie. This is just WB PR floating bullshit in an attempt to keep THE ROCK on board with this fuck up of a movie univers.
They know that marvel/disney has the rights to make a namor movie now and the rock can put asses in the seats and that marvel/disney is DESPERATE for a leading man to replace the charm drain and tom holland, rdj's personal twink, and thor are nothing.
Connor White
I think they have details wrong cause that really doesn't make that much sense at all.
Black Adam is from ancient Khandaq times. He shouldn't be killing the Council in the 40's.
My guess has been that "present day" for the movie is the 1940's and that the JSA we see is really a proto-team. Alan and Jay get added as a result of the movies plot maybe.
The Hawks being reincarnated can still make sense if they know of him from ancient times when they ruled Egypt.
Jacob Ortiz
Why isn't that a bad thing? You can't be silly and kidfriendly while going for the tone of MoS and BvS. BvS worked because it was serious, gritty and dark as shit, Shazam half-worked because it didn't know how to balance the corny with the serious (but it was still good) but it wasn't BvS serious. BvS's seriousness is a critique on the socio-politics of our earth, it's a critique on the government, a critique on xenophobia. You can mix it with Shazam's heartwarming's seriousness
Ryan Miller
>This is just WB PR floating bullshit in an attempt to keep THE ROCK on board with this fuck up of a movie univers. I guess rock is also in on this PR conspiracy as he has a director, script, a production crew, is currently casting, a start date, and is posting about it constantly on instagram.
Dylan Nguyen
Dude, it said in between, not some of both.
And BvS didn't work well at all, in any aspect. >BvS's seriousness is a critique on the socio-politics of our earth
Landon Perez
Guardians and Ragnorak made it work. I don't have faith in WB to pull it off but it can work.
Connor Thompson
>BvS's seriousness is a critique on the socio-politics of our earth, it's a critique on the government, a critique on xenophobia. it was a terrible convoluted movie to get Batman and Superman to fight one another only so they can team up and fight orc later.
Movies such as WW or Aquaman is in between tonal wise of Shazam and BvS
Michael King
>Guardians and Ragnarok made it work Guadians and Ragnarok are the proof it doesn't work >Dude, it said in between, not some of both. the point still stands >And BvS didn't work well at all, in any aspect. I said it worked in-universe >it was a terrible convoluted movie to get Batman and Superman to fight one another only so they can team up and fight orc later. Not my point, the point is that it works in-universe >Movies such as WW or Aquaman is in between tonal wise of Shazam and BvS Because they all got a not-serious like BvS tone but a different kind of serious. WW's seriousness isn't in the slightiest like BvS's seriousness
Hunter Rodriguez
>WW's seriousness isn't in the slightiest like BvS's seriousness Do you know what what the word "in between" means and do you think you're either Saving Private Ryan or Dora the Explorer?
Colton Lewis
>movie based on a Shazam villain >not using Fawcett comics superheroes Wasted opportunity
>Guardians and Ragnarok are the proof it doesn't work We're done here then. The general public thinks they worked more than any DCEU films to date which is what we should be talking about in this context.
Jack Cooper
>The general public I'm talking about from a critical standpoint
Xavier Parker
I recognize all these heroes except Mr Scarlet
Ian Thompson
The beginning part sounds awful, and makes no sense considering the timeline
Jason Evans
Critics also preferred laughing at raccoon jokes over BvS
Hudson Roberts
>The beginning part sounds Why? >and makes no sense considering the timeline Who cares?
Alexander Collins
Because the raccoon jokes were better than BVS. Cope.
Jaxon Sullivan
Two Versions Of The Justice Society of America and the two versions don’t have Power Girl, now I am definitely done with DCEU! They never try to do anything original or different from MCU
Because from what Shazam established Black Adams fall from Grace happened in the time of Ancient Egypt, which means that either Black Adam was running rampant until the 1940s or the JSA has been around before america even existed it just doesn’t work, what would be better is just use Egyptian Doctor Fate and Metamorpho and og Katar and Shiara
David Davis
Hawkman is to complicated to be adapted
Nolan Hall
just make him a man with hawkwings, he doesn't need 50 conflicting origins
Henry Ross
Space Alien comes to Ancient Egypt becomes the Pharoh and gets murdered with his lady love and now they are trapped in a cycle of reincarnation, it’s not that complicated
Blake Adams
if it was that simple
Angel Watson
Which is a shame since a bunch of goat fuckers ruined the name and there are people retarded enough to claim that Isis the character is ISIS the terrorist organization.
Owen Thompson
It literally is
Lincoln Peterson
God damn it now I desperately want to write a Spy Smashers book about Alan in his prime but rebooted to modern day
Jose Reyes
Zari hasn't really been Isis since season 3.
Dominic Scott
There's no need for him to be an alien. It hasn't been relevant to the character for years.
Noah Rivera
Writers having autism does not means Hawkman is not simple
Easton Wilson
>Introducing a clone of Supergirl before Supergirl herself
Colton Reyes
Thanagar is cool though
Ayden Rivera
Superman is kind of the only Kryptonian right now
Lincoln Thompson
again?
Connor Edwards
Stop my invincible son, if people witness a super powered hero, then society will collapse and there will be chaos!!! Wait, the JSA were a thing in this universe? Clark help me! CLAAAAAA-
