Black Adam SDCC trailer shows off what the Justice Society members can do, and the making of a reluctant hero.

Black Adam is a different kind of comic book hero. He’s an ancient Egyptian predecessor of Shazam and nemesis of the Shazam Family. The villain fought his way to modern times to take out Shazam. In more recent comics and the upcoming movie, he’s an antihero out to clear his name and reputation after years of corruption and bad behavior.
