Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam? Cool :D.

I wasn't sure whether they would go with him as Adam or Shazam, since it could've gone either way with how he was advertising the role, but glad to finally have that mystery solved :sweat:.

Now I guess the big mystery is who's going to be Billy and Shazam?

I'll be honest, I like Black Adam, but I don't think he needs his own standalone prequel movie chronicling his fall of grace before we get to Billy's story.

Of course, they've been promoting Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam for who knows how long and he's been heavily involved in the production, so I can't say I'm surprised...

I have never said this before, even when so many others were, but I'll say it now...it really seems like thay don't have much of a plan right now, and are just announcing things all willy-nilly.

I do get it though; Johnson is a HUGE star right now, and he probably didn't want to just play a villain. But still, a Black Adam film before Shazam? Heck, at least the Squad spinoff made sense.

5/15: Dwayne Johnson hinted a battle between Black Adam and Superman is in the cards.

I kind of feel bad that the costume has probably been collecting mothballs since they filmed that teaser or any scenes with him in it :sweat:.
10/27: One benefit, hopefully is he's stuck to the training regime this whole time. ;)

10/31: Adam Sztykiel hired to write the Black Adam script.

Dwayne Johnson teases some other characters might have cameos in the "Black Adam" movie.
“Without giving anything away, there MIGHT be maybe a cameo or two of some of the other DC superheroes," Johnson said. "We’ll see. That’s been the beauty of Black Adam as we’ve been developing it is that we could make a movie that just stood on its own too as well, but that’s also the beauty of those universes coming together at DC.”

Reportedly, the "Black Adam" movie will also feature Hawkman, Atom Smasher and Stargirl.
Now it sounds more like a JSA movie :p.

Hawkman I guess I get because of Khufu being connected to Adam in his old life in Egypt, though I wonder if we'll see Hawkgirl too, and Atom-Smasher was close to Adam in the comics...but Stargirl seems kind of random :sweat:.

I still feel The Casagrandes was a slipshod clone of The Loud House that didn't need to exist, but I have to admit its theme song is catchy. It's a bouncy little earworm.
there are many parts of my childhood I wish I could erase from my memories. so much bullying. I was mentally, emotionally and physically traumatized. really, my current personality is me trying to reclaim that part of my life.
Since it's May the Fourth, might as well post this bit of trivia:

DePatie–Freleng Enterprises- known for The Pink Panther, mid-60s Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, many Dr. Seuss specials, The Bod Squad, and Time for Timer- handled the lightsaber effects for Episode IV.
I wonder if the new Dexter's Lab set will have Rude Removal on it. They were okay with putting The Whoopass Girls on the PPG set many years ago that they were advertising on Cartoon Network (albeit they muted every time it was said in the pilot). This set's clearly for adults.
They should file a lawsuit against MeTV Toons for stealing the classic cartoons away from Boomerang. Boomerang found the classic cartoons first.
