DC 2022 Teaser Reveals ‘Black Adam’: Who are the new heroes

There is less than a month until the premiere of this year’s first DC movie. “Batman” promises to be an absolute hit, which is confirmed by the recently published clip of three minutes showing the scene of the funeral. However, the competition with Marvel will not end only with the production dedicated to the Dark Knight. DC will also release the films “Black Adam”, “Flash” and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” in the coming months. All four titles were presented in the teaser of “The World Needs Heroes”.

The material lasts exactly one minute, but even in such a short time you can see a number of previously unrevealed shots. First of all, from productions whose premiere will take place closer to the end of 2022. It is shown, among others. The Flash’s new costume, Aquaman on the throne of Atlantis, and members of the superhero group Justice Society of America. It was characters such as Doctor Fate, Hawkman, and Atom Smasher that caused the greatest stir on the Internet. It is a very interesting group that the viewers have been waiting for for a long time.

DC films for 2022 – who do we see in the new trailer?

Available on YouTube and on social media, the teaser (as the name suggests) focuses on heroes, so we will not experience such classic villains. Instead, there are Catwoman, Batman, Flash, Aquaman, and Black Adam, Doktor Fate, Atom Smasher, Cyclone, and Hawkman. A group of characters from “Black Adama”, announced on July 27, arouses the greatest emotions and discussions. The title character of the production in comics is not entirely an unequivocal character. Originally, he often appeared there as an opponent of heroes such as Shazam and Superman. In the 90s, his character and motivations were slightly reworked. Since then, he has been a former superhero who protected ancient Egypt for years but then fell into corruption.

It is not known exactly what motives will drive Black Adam in the new film, but fate will surely put him in front of the Justice Society of America. We are talking about the first DC supergroup, which made its comic debut in the early 1940s on the pages of “All Star Comics”. The original JSA line-up included Doctor Fate, Hour-Man, Specter, Sandman, Atom, Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman. Popular heroes who had their own series were excluded from participation in “All Star Comics”.

That’s why Batman and Superman were introduced as “honorary members”, Wonder Woman acted as secretary (!), And Flash and Green Lantern soon left the ranks of the team. Importantly, they were not the same versions of the two characters that we see on the big screen today. If this all sounds a bit complicated, don’t worry. In the world of comics, a lot has changed since the 1940s.

Who are Dr. Fate, Hawkman and the other heroes from scenes in “Black Adam”?

In an extremely nutshell, one could say that Doctor Fate is Doctor Strange from DC. Such a term, however, would be unfair to this hero. Firstly, because it debuted much earlier and it was Marvel who copied DC’s idea. Secondly, because he is an extremely interesting and ambiguous character. Kent Nelson is a respected archaeologist who, during an excavation in the Valley of Ur, discovers the tomb of Nabu and finds Fate’s Helm there. Thanks to him, he gains access to great wisdom and a range of magical powers. Interestingly, the leader of JSA, i.e. Hawkman, has a similar origin story . He also worked as an archaeologist in the modern world, but is in fact the reincarnation of an Egyptian prince who can fly thanks to his metallic wings.

Cyclone is the granddaughter of the popular DC hero called Red Tornado. She made her official debut in 2006 as one of the members of the new Justice League of Society. Like her grandfather, she can control the wind and create sound projectiles. Physically the strongest hero of the group is Atom Smasher. He is able to manipulate his molecular structure, which allows him to increase his height and weight many times over. Interestingly enough, Atom Smasher is the grandson of Atom who was one of the co-founders of the Justice League of Society in the comics. The protagonists of JSA in the film will be played by Pierce Brosnan, Aldis Hodge, Quintessa Swindell and Noah Centineo.
