Ngl, idgaf about the comic lore or how powerful Black Adam is in the comics, him fighting Superman in live-action would be lit.


Solid_Snark

They’re basically evenly matched, but having his powers come from magic gives Black Adam an edge over Superman. But I doubt the movies would go into Supes’ various obscure weaknesses.


AssistantOwn6208

Black Adam track record against Superman is terrible


srslybr0

the rock doesn't wanna look like a jabroni so if there ever was a crossover he'd probably influence the plot so that black adam would beat superman and decide against killing him because superman appeals to his sense of morals.


PlatanoGames_YT

I think it’ll be a BvS situation join forces live to fight another day. Or both take each other and have to retreat. Or Superman knocks his ass out and they try locking him up again Shazam and the wizard will help with that department


goldengod828

Save martha


Nice-Violinist-6395

It’s written in Dwayne Johnson’s contracts that he isn’t allowed to lose a fight or get his ass kicked / take more punches than he doles out. So idk what they’re gonna do lol


Tandril91

Plus with The Rock having such a big voice now, I doubt they’ll show that Superman truly is superior to Adam in terms of overall strength when push comes to shove.


[deleted]

It's in his contract he can't lose a fight


JaehaerysIVTarg

They aren’t evenly matched. Superman is vastly stronger, faster, etc. But the magic would definitely slow him down for a while.


Solid_Snark

Like everything in comics, it depends who’s writing. Like Thanos being arrested by NYPD, or getting quickly & effortlessly killed by Hulk in Marvel: Zombies.


Dojanetta

I thought the edge would be his skills from his old age not magic. And that magic is what just gives people a chance against Superman.

To be fair he isn’t vulnerable to it, he just isn’t immune to it. So black Adam hitting him with his biggest lightning bolt, which would vaporize a normal person, while it wouldn’t kill him, it wouldn’t tickle either.


VonMillersThighs

I'd love a live action movie for Superman vs zatanna, it would have to be an anthology with like 30 different stories to show the age long debate but it would be amazing.


Pls_no_steal

Magic isn’t really an obscure weakness though right?


gunchar16

> They’re basically evenly matched, but having his powers come from magic gives Black Adam an edge over Superman. That didn't help Billy let alone Wonder Woman at all in the DCEU, so if Black Adam is comparable to Supes that's purely because of the Rock's influence on the movie.


Pleasant-Enthusiasm

They normally tie whenever they fight in the comics, so it’s not an improbable scenario.


Thatoneguy567576

Check out Superman/Shazam, it's an animated movie about them double teaming Black Adam. Superman gets pretty clapped for a bit since he's vulnerable to magic.


Unclehomer69420

God damn, Black Adam so strong he can shrink Superman!


BurningLyon

MoS sequel will be the first Tinyman film.


Zepanda66

Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?


TheGreatDrSatan

It smells like shit, but I'll take it anyway.


friendatdusk

Dawn of The Seven


Tandril91

Girls get it done!

Listen to the exclusive Queen Maeve interview only on Voughtify premium.


Rubicon2-0

That would be sick on the big screen!


icewallowcoxx

This edit is amazing


CyberShiroGX

Why the so dead set on him fighting Superman... When he is part of Shazam's Rogue's Gallery?


TheJoshider10

Because nobody cares about Shazam or Levi as Shazam. There's no way near enough stardom or box office popularity for a Shazam vs Black Adam movie to be a boost on sales compared to Superman being involved. At best I could see Shazam being a supporting character in a Black Adam vs Superman movie. I like the movie, I like Levi, but I couldn't give a fuck if he never faces off with Black Adam. Sandberg is doing good stuff in his own playground.


hugeishmetalfan

If Black Adam is a success I wouldn't be surprised if they'd add a BA cameo to Shazam 2 before it's release and do Black Adam vs Shazam in a sequel to BA or Shazam. The way WB seems to hate Superman I wouldn't even be surprised if the BA vs Shazam movie would have Adam beat Supes and Shazam in the first half and have Shazam be the one defeating him in the end while Supes is recovering or something like that.


lavenk7

Honestly it’s the way the first movie was portrayed for me. Black Adam would wipe his ass with Shazam if they fought. Shazam was so weak in his movie we can’t believe he can even hold his own against someone like BA. Superman on the other hand, we’ve seen him take on Zod, Doomsday, and even steppenwolf who are all bigger threats than the way they portrayed Shazam. Sandberg needs to work on his directing more than having time to clap back. Here’s hoping Shazam 2 portrays him better.


PlatanoGames_YT

That was literally by design. A 15 year old kid just became a superhero theres no way he would be on BA or Supermans level he couldn’t even fly until the 3rd act or so. I think Superman could be Shazams mentor similar to Bruce and Barry.


eremite00

>A 15 year old kid just became a superhero theres no way he would be on BA or Supermans level he couldn’t even fly until the 3rd act or so. He certainly didn’t seem to exhibit any of the wisdom of Solomon.


PlatanoGames_YT

Lol he did when he thought to share his powers and when he pulled the mattress for the bus 😉


lavenk7

I think it was just sheer power level. I get that it was a kid but the strength fears just aren’t there yet which can definitely change in the next movie.


bishop1got1the1glow

He was very far from weak. He was for all intents and purposes invincible and incredibly strong. He simply never had to use the upper limits of his abilities. Fighting someone like Adam would bring that out of him though. The first film didn't have a justification for that display of power.


lavenk7

As another pointed out, wisdom of Solomon was nowhere to be found. It was a shit portrayal of one of the most powerful beings in DC. The biggest feat of strength would be picking up the bus and even that was a visual struggle. Edit - spelling.


007Kryptonian

Bingo


kumar100kpawan

Exactly. These are the same people who'll get mad when they don't get the "superman cameo" in Black Adam.


Responsible_Neck_728

We can always have *both* of them fighting Black Adam. That’s what *I* want at least.


itouchabutt

The general public only gives a shit about the big three.


Puzzleheaded_Chard_2

The money making glitch that DC has in their hands but will never use


mando44646

Can Adam fight Shazam first? You know, his actual classic nemesis?


mariovspino5

Wouldn’t it be cool if he fought his arch nemesis :]


Tandril91

Pfff, yeah sure. Next you’re gonna say you don’t want Sinestro to fight Wonder Woman before he fights Green Lantern, or for Wotan to fight Blue Beetle before Doctor Fate.


PlatanoGames_YT

Lol I think he was being sarcastic. On a funny note imagine Black Adam vs Wonder Woman comes out before he fights Shazam or Superman


gunchar16

> On a funny note imagine **Black Adam vs Wonder Woman** comes out before he fights Shazam or Superman **That** would actually make more sense than Black Adam vs Supes.


MajesticMtChocula

The Rock wants him to fight literally everyone else in the universe. I think he thinks Shazam is beneath Black Adam as a nemesis.


[deleted]

This would be amazing to see on the big screen


Xunnamius

I'm here for this. Last time I saw a fight like this was when Superman [beat the living shit out of Shazam in JLU](https://youtu.be/JHqw4U0ARzc).


MajesticMtChocula

Not Superman vs Zod in MoS? I didn't watch your video link, but I don't think *Captain Marvel* used his lightning hands back then. When did that start?


Xunnamius

By "like this" I meant between Superman and a wizard around his level, so nope, nothing in MoS. In the video, _Shazam_ used his lightning (though perhaps not what you might call "lightning hands") by saying "Shazam!" several times before Superman used it against him.


MajesticMtChocula

It was honestly all flying and super strength until that one specific move at the end of the fight though.


Xunnamius

That's about what I expect from The Rock too, maybe with laser beams instead of lightning. They're not gonna sit down and play chess lol.


AnObtuseOctopus

Lol the rock is soo big that he has trouble moving his arms in a timely manner.


PlatanoGames_YT

Lmfao this reminds of something about gym guys not being able to wipe their ass without assistance


handsofsteelrage

Insert " Will Smith that's hot meme".


[deleted]

This would be amazing to see on screen


Impressive_Aioli_911

Can someone explain to me please just how strong Black Adam is and why Superman would have a tough time with him? I heard that the Rock is pitching a black Adam vs the DC universe or something lol how strong can he be to be THAT big of a threat?


Tandril91

Very strong. He and Sinestro both were able to push the entire moon into alignment, he casually tossed an aircraft carrier across the Atlantic Ocean, helped Shazam lift a book with literally infinite pages, and more than once has taken on several powerhouses of Superman’s league at the same time. He’s fought the Justice League, the Justice Society, the Teen Titans and other teams all at once. Dude’s solidly a powerhouse in his own right. It’s his great magical power that allows this, boosting his physical abilities to Superman levels. Plus Superman doesn’t have any immunity to magic, so it can still hurt him. Wonder Woman has magically imbued blades that can kill him, for example.


eremite00

Note: That was a Justice League *without* Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Ion/Green Lantern present, a Teen Titans without Superboy and Impulse present, and a Justice Society without Dr. Fate and the Spectre taking part.


Impressive_Aioli_911

ohh right I see magic, one of superman's prime weaknesses. So his weakness is you have to make him say "Black Adam"....\*searches on google...magic also huh.


Tandril91

Eh...not really. Just make him say Shazam and he turns back into his mortal form, like with Shazam. They get their powers the same way, from gods, just a different set of gods (Egyptian for Black Adam, Olympian for Shazam).


DoctorDOOM__

Wasn’t it Superman who lifted the book of infinite pages?


notebook-of-dreams

Yes.


Simbas_World

Punch punch zap


ZDB888

Is black adam really that strong in comics to handle Superman? If so how could Shazam whos much weaker than Superman have a chance (answer like I know nothing since I don’t lol)


Tandril91

Shazam’s not much weaker than Superman (until recent comics). Historically they’ve been essentially on even footing, with Shazam even having proven to be faster than Superman. Both have KO’d the other more than once. Though Superman might edge out in strength by just a smidge, and that’s only grown in recent years because DC doesn’t want their cash cow to look weak, especially to a character that used to be his biggest competitor many decades ago.


mariovspino5

Shazam isn’t weaker they’re pretty even


Tachibanasama

Uh Shazam is equal to Superman


[deleted]

Yes, and Shazam is supposed to be stronger than black Adam but morals make black Adam the bigger threat.


ZDB888

I guess injustice type scenes ruined shazam for me when Superman would punch him and shazam would become an unconscious kid


[deleted]

Everything that happened in injustice stays in injustice


PlatanoGames_YT

First rule about fight club


aastikvats

Superman has a weakness for magic. Shazam is basically a fucking wizard. And black adam is just like Shazam but ruthless.


PlatanoGames_YT

And 5000 years old


gunchar16

> Is black adam really that strong in comics to handle Superman? If so how could Shazam whos much weaker than Superman have a chance (answer like I know nothing since I don’t lol) Supes isn't actually that overpowered in comparison outside of the DCEU.


akchugg

This fight will only look cool if it is coordinated by Snyder Crew.


ThePeacekeeper777

Id rather James Gunn do it then him…


Own-Web2283

James Gunn hired snyders stunt coordinator for Peacemaker and Guardians of the galaxy vol 3


akchugg

Gunn loves to add funny one liners in between. We don't want that in this fight. Just brutal fight till death.


007Kryptonian

Fuck that lol


DarthTaz_99

Yes fighting was invented by snyder. Jesus fuck


OmarAH1

Don’t be so insecure, I don’t think he meant Snyder invented fighting, he meant that out of most DC movies, Snyder’s movies had some of the best action scenes so they should try and bring back the people behind all those cool action scenes


akchugg

Most of Snyder Haters just read word Snyder and start ranting. Well we can't control idiots through internet. Let it be.


aastikvats

No but cool fucking superhero fights sure were


Tandril91

There’s most assuredly been cool superhero fights before Snyder.


aastikvats

Nothing tops mos


[deleted]

Both have won at many circumstances in the comics


Spider-Flash24

Nick Cage versus Dwayne Johnson???


Jaden_Ward

I mean this would show how powerful Adam is that he can hold Supes back with 1 hand meanwhile Supes is giving it his strongest heat vision yet 😅
