It's been over a month since Black Adam arrived in theaters, bringing some delightful and long-awaited elements of DC lore onto the big screen. One of the most highly-anticipated components of the film was the theatrical introduction of the Justice Society, the first superhero ensemble in the pages of mainstream comics.
"Now we will build out the Black Adam brand, and we'll build out the JSA. Doctor Fate, Cyclone, Hawkman, Atom-Smasher," Johnson revealed in the video, which you can check out below."And keep in mind, for those of you who don't know — and all you comic book fans, you guys know this — there are so many cool, badass superheroes and supervillains in the bible, in the pantheon of the DC universe. Just right there. So, we're gonna dig into all that.
Who could appear in a Justice Society spinoff?While Black Adam leaves a lot of stones unturned regarding the Justice Society's onscreen past, there's almost a beauty in that. Based on the film, we do know that Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Al Pratt / The Atom all served on the team in its original heyday, and that Cyclone's grandmother, Ma Hunkel / Red Tornado, also exists in the universe in some capacity.
Additionally, it's clear that the Justice Society are still going strong after the events of Black Adam, outside of Doctor Fate sacrificing himself to save everyone during the film's third act. The quartet we saw onscreen clearly thrived as a multigenerational group with shared experiences and dynamics, and it would be wonderful to see that further explored onscreen.
