Mxyzptlk, Metallo, Parasite, Darkseid, who all test him in different ways. ( Action Comics #831 (2005) by Gail Simone and John Byrne features the two super-beings’ most destructive and notable encounter.) Superman already has an incredible range of villains in his rogue’s gallery, including Lex Luthor, Zod, Mongul, Brainiac, Mr. They have, though usually only in Elseworlds tales or with multiversal versions of the characters. Not that Superman and Black Adam haven’t come to blows in the comics before. Johnson is, in fact, so committed to this idea that he even established a rivalry between the two characters in the post-credits scene of the animated DC’s League of Super-Pets. While a face-off between Black Adam and Shazam is still on the table somewhere down the line, Johnson is angling for Black Adam to be an A-list character, which means pitting him against the most famous superhero in the world. But the actor believed the character was worthy of his own film as an anti-hero. His character was originally set to be the villain in Shazam!, which Johnson also produced. What’s interesting is that Johnson has somehow managed to successfully shift Black Adam from a Shazam adversary to a Superman one. “We should have a talk,” Superman says.Ī showdown with Superman has been high on Johnson’s list for years. For a moment, it seems like it’ll be another fake out, or a gag like the headless Superman in Shazam! But hey, it’s really him, complete with his classic curl and a shiny new costume. Superman descends from the sky, shrouded in fog as John Williams’ iconic score begins to stir.

Cavill’s position in the DCEU has long been up in the air since the theatrical release of Justice League in 2017, amid a number of executive shifts over at Warner Bros. The hierarchy of the DC Extended Universe has changed and Superman has returned! Black Adam’s worst-kept secret still manages to be one of its biggest delights: Henry Cavill returns as Superman.
