DC's BLACK ADAM Will Introduce the Justice Society of America

As DC’s Black Adam film project is in development and gearing up for production, Dwayne Johnson confirms that the movie will introduce the Justice Society of America! This will mark the live-action feature film debut of the DC superhero organization who made their comic book debut in 1940.

Johnson also joked with Kevin Hart in the interview with ComicBook, saying that he could play the Justice Society’s pet:

“We're also gonna introduce JSA in Black Adam," Johnson said to Hart. "So in JSA maybe there's a (role)...They have an animal, a pet.”

For those of you not familiar with the Justice Society of America, DC has the following description:

“Despite their deeply intertwined origins, the modern incarnations of the JLA and JSA are genuinely quite unique from one another. Sure, they’re both still teams of superheroes and they share the basic functionality and purpose that all superhero teams share, but that’s where the similarities end. The Justice League exists as a team of the best-of-the-best—trained heroes who are brought in at the very top of their game. The Justice Society, however, works as a collective of mentors and trainees spanning across generations and experience levels.”

The Justice Society of America originally featured the Golden Age versions of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and more. After the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" eventd DC changes things up and moved the popular heroes to Justice League. Justice Society then consisted of second-string characters like Hourman, Sandman, and Hawkman. The Flash and Green Lantern were also a part of it.

It was previously rumored that Hawkman, Atom Smasher, and Stargirl might appear in the film, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

It’ll be interesting to see what DC characters will make on The Justice Society of America in the film. Are there any characters you’d like to see?

Black Adam will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and it arrives on December 22, 2021.
