Well, a new promo video for the movie teases a showdown between the two superpowered beings. In the video, Black Adam hilariously sends an SMS to Superman using a green diamond emoji. This alludes to Clark Kent’s weakness which is Kryptonite. In the short video, Black Adam asks Superman if he knows what the green diamond emoji is. The then states that “it’s another rock that can kick your a**!” The video subtly breaks the fourth wall by mentioning “it’s another rock” which alludes to Dwayne Johnson’s pro wrestling moniker.
— DC (@DCComics) October 20, 2022 The exchange ends with Superman stating that they need to talk. Black Adam asks “and why would we need to do that?” The video ends just as Hawkman joins the chatroom.
Black Adam versus Superman
Johnson hasn’t been shy about hyping the impressive powers of his character. The Rock mentioned that pound-for-pound, Black Adam is one of the strongest in the DC Extended Universe. The collision course between the two seems inevitable at this point as Black Adam has been rampaging through the world and killing people. Superman, on the other hand, values life and justice as any superhero would. The conflicting values will surely be used as the trigger for a head-to-head battle. In an interview, Johnson also confirmed that fans want the fight to happen. He has reportedly fought for the return of Henry Cavill as Superman in the movie. If Superman returns, it would not be for a friendly chat with the anti-hero. Superman is not the only character that wants to fight Black Adam as he lives up to his anti-hero role in the movie. He has had run-ins with superheroes in the trailers, specifically Hawk Man and the Justice Society of America. The role of the JSA in the movie is simply to stop the unnecessary violence. One other character who wants to stop Teth-Adam’s rampage is Amanda Waller. We know that Waller is one of the characters in DC Comics that can call in reinforcements such as Superman and the Justice League. She also has the Suicide Squad at her disposal. Johnson also confirmed that he will fight Shazam at some point in the future. So, the list of potential Black Adam fights keeps growing as the DCEU expands.
How soon can we see a Black Adam vs Superman movie
Black Adam versus Superman may be the plot of the sequel. We know that Superman is returning to the DCEU because of Black Adam. The Man of Steel sequel is also reportedly in development. The movie could also be a potential crossover point between the two strongest characters in DC. The two could also appear in a Justice League sequel if ever it comes. There will be a lot of opportunities for Superman and Black Adam to duke it out in the DCEU. Hopefully, we will see it come sooner rather than later. Black Adam is now showing in theaters worldwide.
