After BlackAdam, the DCU definitely needs a Justice Society spinoff:
After being in the works for nearly two decades, Black Adam has finally arrived on the big screen, telling the story of Dwayne Johnson's unconventional antihero. The film drew a unique sort of inspiration from the characters and concepts of DC's comics, filling out Black Adam's world in some surprising and Internet-breaking ways.
Who are DC's Justice Society?Originally created by Gardner Fox in the pages of All-Star Comics in the 1940s, the Justice Society of America actually have the honor of being the first superhero team in the pages of mainstream comics. The team's All-Star tenure sought to unite costumed characters who had each had their own solo stories in other books, including Hawkman, Black Canary, Green Lantern, The Flash, Hourman, and Wonder Woman.
Who could appear in a Justice Society spinoff?While Black Adam leaves a lot of stones unturned regarding the Justice Society's onscreen past, there's almost a beauty in that. Based on the film, we do know that Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Al Pratt / The Atom all served on the team in its original heyday, and that Cyclone's grandmother, Ma Hunkel / Red Tornado, also exists in the universe in some capacity.
How would a Justice Society spinoff impact the DC Universe?Leading up to and immediately after the release of Black Adam, there have been a lot of new changes regarding DC's live-action future. In particular, there's the recent hiring of James Gunn and Peter Safran as the co-chairs of DC Films, who plan to oversee the main DC Universe's film and television output across the next few years.
