Shazam 's arch enemy gets his own spin off --- before he even got to interact with the hero.

While The Rock is certainly one of the biggest stars in all of Hollywood ---- it was his input and power plays that destroyed what could've been a great stand alone DC feature.

Today we take a look at this villain turned anti-hero's first (and probably last) major outing.

Did The Rock save the DCEU or did he finish it off himself?

The franchise was on shaky ground before BA was released, but its poor performance certainly hastened the DCEU's demise.

Come on, they changed Hawkman to be black. Doesn't that earn enough lefty diversity points that they can just make a crap movie without everyone being so critical?

Thing is Black Adam is not an A list comic book character, is widely known as Shazam's arch nemesis in the comic book world and just wasn't the character to have a solo movie or entire expanded universe centred around.
