    to be honest , the guy is nearly 70 years old, so for him to get a high profile role again as a superhero in an action film, the guy has done well. he gets roles nowaday as mostly grandfather figure.

    Hawkman, awesome
    Dr. Fate, really awesome

    Atom Smasher.....ok

    Cyclone......really?

    My guess is they all get killed to make Black Adam look like he’s unstoppable......it’s going to be zero hour in the form of a film. I hope I’m wrong.

    I guess I don't really see it like that. It may not always be right but I don't think it's lazy. Plus there's way more White characters, and if they pushed a less well known PoC character, some would just complain about "But what about this character?" and so forth

    I assume he'll be the "senior hero" on the team, if that makes sense

    Or... god forbid... creating NEW, diverse characters.

    What's wrong with Maxine ?

    I can't see them going that far with how they're promoting the JSA, and it would kill black Adam's likeability.

    People do that and those characters still get bashed.

    Think about it this way, Marvel could have race bent Tony or Steve and not used Black Panther but that would have been lazy. There is no reason DC cannot use their minority characters successfully... well as long as they don’t hire Whedon again.

    Haha now when I think of Black Adam being called Black Adam, I can't help but think of that scene in FTWS when Falcon asked that one kid if he would like to be referred to as "Black Kid." Isn't Black Adam's real name Teth Adam?

    I guess so. But Black Panther still got negative feedback. So did Captain Marvel. I'm not saying racebending is necessary, but attempts at diversity ger bashed not matrer what. I've grown numb to it so I'm just ok with any changes as long as they're not regressive

    True. Although Dwayne is half Afro-Canadian I believe, so he is a "Black Adam"

    I guess they got the memo with Black Canary in the BoP film.
