Magic In The DCEU
Although Suicide Squad’s Enchantress has already introduced magic into the realm of the DCEU, Black Adam could be the right character to actually delve into the subject. He, after all owes his entire existence to magic. Since Black Adam’s origin involves ancient Egypt, the character could bring in historical magic into DCEU.
Black Adam’s Origins May Be Just As Tragic As Batman’s
Black Adams origin in the new 52 is a tragic one. Teth Adam loses his family invaders, pushing him into a dark path of revenge.
