There’s mad. Then there’s BlackAdam mad. We dive into this character's bloody trajectory in the comics.
At long last, Black Adam is coming to the big screen, thanks to star Dwayne Johnson and director Jaume Collet-Serra. The recently released trailer for the October feature promises that we will be seeing all facets of Adam – hero, anti-hero, villain. But to what degree? The answer to that is tied to his statement about killing people in the trailer. It’s possible that he kills a few before reevaluating his stance.
Black Adam, his wife Isis and his brother-in-law Osiris were the guardians and rulers of Kahndaq, with the yin of Adam's draconian laws tempered with the yang of Isis and Osiris' goodness. Soon, Kahndaq would find itself attacked by the Four Horsemen of Apokolips, artificially enhanced beings based out of Bialya. Osiris is killed by Famine, the Fourth Horseman, and Isis is infected with a deadly disease by Pestilence before Adam kills him and his partner War.
Mass genocide on film would seem to be a dicey proposition for DC. The uproar after Superman killed General Zod in Man of Steel was intense, and still argued to this day, and that was a hero taking action for a good reason, however divisive. While Black Adam is hardly the Boy Scout that Superman is, it would still be an odd path to take for a company that is carefully trying not to alienate their fan base. It would also seem to fly in the face of Dwayne Johnson's brand.
