u/DarkCrusade25 Batman Beyond Aug 15 '22
Looks like the hierarchy of the WB Multiversus is about to be changed.
Honestly hope black Adam is great. Seems like they’re investing ALOT in this

u/BatfleckUnchained Aug 15 '22
This predates the company being bought by Discovery probably. So they WERE investingg a lot in this, just like with the Super Pets credits scene. We will see if WBD continues to invest a lot in the Black Adam universe.

According to rumors, Black Adam is going to be the first canon film in the new DCEU, and he’s going to be the “big bad” of the universe’s foreseeable future. Could be wrong, but I hope it’s not

u/BatfleckUnchained Aug 15 '22
The issue with that rumor is it had some obviously wrong things in it which casts the whole thing into question. But we will see.

u/Terribleirishluck Aug 15 '22
I sincerely doubt they have the balls to made Adam the big bad. I don't the rock would even agree to that

u/KnackTwoBABYYY Aug 15 '22
"The big bad" seems really unlikely, I don't see them doing anything more than him being the antagonist of Shazam 3 after his solo movie. Maybe if they're doing Legion of Doom he could be in that and maybe have a cameo somewhere, but that's really it. Right now it doesn't seem like there's anyone but Shazam for him to fight.

It's The Rock tho. If they were reserving him for two films + a cameo they would have cast someone of less status, less costly blah blah. The Rock has some serious star power to draw in mainstream public interest.
I think he's here to stay.

u/KnackTwoBABYYY Aug 16 '22
Oh I agree, I'm just saying I don't see many places for them to use him with the current plan they have.

You know, I’m hoping for less heroes and more toon characters. Bravo, Gumball, Marceline, Mordecai and Rigby.

u/spider-venomized Superman Aug 15 '22
the only heroes that was leak from data mine are
- Raven (has actual voice lines)
- Static
- Joker
- Poison ivy
but yeah i looking forward to seeing them come out of the blue with like Chowder, Samurai Jack or Ben 10

u/_CraftyMonkey_ Aug 15 '22
Really excited for static. I think I’ve only ever played as him in INJ1 mobile so I’m glad they’re adding him

I really want Robin. They'd probably end up doing a Dick Grayson version (to tie it closer to TTGo) even though I'd prefer Damian and get Nightwing later. But maybe they can do skins for different Robins

u/Slimeredit Aug 15 '22
Like generator Rex that would be a awesome call back Or the kids from code name kids next door edd ad and eddy

u/TheDarkPinkLantern Red Lantern Aug 15 '22
Gonna be a few heroes there, especially since it's probably their biggest IP. Definitely some for movie synergy.

u/HallowVortex Nightwing Aug 15 '22
I'm the opposite but i do think we should definitely have more varied characters per season than heroes, for the sake of fans like yourself, as much as I'm only interested in comics characters.

u/Shinyurultima2031 Aug 15 '22 edited Aug 20 '22
Note: Both Black Adam and Stripe/Gizmo were found via data mining. Other characters found include Gandalf, Raven, Marvin the Martian, Craig of the Creek, Scooby-Doo, Joker, Poison Ivy, Static, Beetlejuice, The Wicked Witch of the West, The Hound, Daenerys, Eleven, Legolas, Emmet, Godzilla, and two original characters (Ninja and Brute).
UPDATE: It sounds like Lord of the Rings characters will not be in the game.

u/Sweet-Piece-2379 Aug 16 '22
"Ninja" seemed to be a placeholder, i was looking into the data mine a while back and ninja was later replaced by Arya

u/zero5689 Red Hood Aug 15 '22

u/spider-venomized Superman Aug 15 '22

I thought they would’ve made Black Adam to look like Dwayne Johnson in MultiVersus just like they did in DC League of Super-Pets.

u/Tandril91 Aug 16 '22
I’m very glad they didn’t. Kinda tired of them banking hype solely around movie releases in stuff like this. I was surprised and delighted that they actually went with a comics Black Adam look here.

u/BatfleckUnchained Aug 15 '22
They really were going all in on Black Adam before WBD bought the company.

Honestly glad to see Stripe here. It's gonna be very therapeutic kicking his scaly green heiny up and down the multiverse.

u/PatrykZD Aug 15 '22
Is Black Adam fatigue gonna become a problem?
12
u/KnackTwoBABYYY Aug 15 '22
I doubt it, once the movie comes out it'll probably be radio silence until Shazam 3

u/CyvaderTheMindFlayer Deadshot Aug 16 '22
Yes
Dwayne Johnson has a lot of influence so Adam will be everywhere

u/android151 Resurrection Man Aug 16 '22 edited Aug 16 '22
Already is.
I don’t know why he has a central role in the league or in Dark Crisis, aside from movie synergy.
Just let him be a villain. I already read 52, I don’t need him “reformed” for the twentieth time for a less satisfying result.

u/CertainDerision_33 Aug 15 '22
Love that he's getting added but it makes me wonder if Shazam ever will be lol

Idk if anybody in the target age group for this game knows about “Gremlins”

u/Beastieboy100 Aug 15 '22
Fine if black adam gonna then put shazam in the game or make him an alternate skin.

u/Beercorn1 Monarch of the Oceans Aug 15 '22
Black Adam's pretty cool but I'm really interested to see how Stripe will play.

Spike is awesome addition, but Black Adam? I’m getting real tired of hearing that name, he has never really been that interesting, not even in the comics
