[Comic Excerpt] If you smell what Black Adam is cookin’, aka blatant Movie Synergy (Dark Crisis #7)
Black Adam’s entire role in this crossover was undoubtedly movie synergy. The climatic scene where he powers up all the heroes during the final battle is gonna seem hilarious in a few years.
I feel like Dwayne Johnson playing Black Adam should have been an insanely fun thing with lots of hype. It should have been awesome. Its crazy how much the bag seems to have been fumbled
This issue coming out the same day as Dwayne Johnson posting that he will not be involved in any future DC projects is one of the funniest things to ever happen regarding comic book news and I’m surprised people don’t mention it more!
This is a prime case of some blatant movie synergy nonsense. For some reason, at the end of Dark Crisis, Black Adam’s face morphs into Dawyne Johnson’s. It’s inexplicable, and also nonsensical, because if you flip back a few pages, he doesn’t look like that… [At all](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/rKr6Y6hTGQB3PaR_cgn6tcmZ5MAuLyr8huI1wIMDnxHPiaRhrpyfarin8bha7ZuSCrg72lQmGGYn56ZY71nJOc5cmtO7XmTb8w2h5Sp-OhNTRk9HbCErLlXNpFn9NLv6AkDsziawvA=s1600?rhlupa=MTA4LjUuMjAuMzM=&rnvuka=TW96aWxsYS81LjAgKFdpbmRvd3MgTlQgMTAuMDsgV2luNjQ7IHg2NCkgQXBwbGVXZWJLaXQvNTM3LjM2IChLSFRNTCwgbGlrZSBHZWNrbykgQ2hyb21lLzExMS4wLjAuMCBTYWZhcmkvNTM3LjM2).
This whole crossover was chaotic in an almost “too-weird-not-to-laugh” way. The movie synergy, Jon Kent and his “trinity” being setup and doing nothing, Dick Grayson being confused why people think the League is actually dead.
Honestly, I take issue with his ears no longer being pointy more than anything.
Black Adam in this cross over was synergy. He wasn’t even needed.
black adam: got no bitches? 🤨
They thought the movie will be a huge success so they made that terrible thing. At least the movie flopped so we will not see that again.
The amount of confidence they had in this movie is crazy
TBH i low-key wanted that Superman vs Black Adam fight…..
I find these synergy moves very interesting. They look bizarre as they happen and that’s because we know the context, but in a few years people will look back and just be “uh?”. They know there was a movie, but it will just be very odd.
Black Adam without pointy ears not real! Don’t trust this impostor, Supes!
Lmao that’s literally the rock
I hate how the Rock destroy to franchises
The movie was rad though. The promotion was overkill, and it touched the wrong nerve of the internet and became a meme, but really good movie. Special effects were really really well done. Adam isn’t really a solo movie character, and the JSA help with that. It’s a movie I’ll watch a few times at least for sure.
I swear this was posted before.
Did anyone else find this issue massively disappointing?
God I hate Dwayne Johnson so much for destroying a character
X men when Ike perlmutter was in a feud with fox
He’s basically called Superman a jabroni here
I really really really hate how comics ALWAYS try to mimic whatever changes the movies introduced
