With the addition of Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam, as well as some of the upcoming films in the DC Extended Universe, it’s safe to say that the franchise as many fans have known it is experiencing some major changes. For a series that has had its ups and downs with reviewers and certain audiences over the years, it appears like some intriguing new updates are about to breathe fresh life into it, and it looks like it will be well worth the wait.
