The signs do not look especially good for Black Adam. A film that arrives after such a miserable run of DC movies that DC itself has stopped bothering to tell people about it, offering only shoddy marketing and bad prerelease word of mouth.
But you’d be a fool to write it off, because Black Adam stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. And Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a born salesman. The man would do anything to make the film a success. Even, it appears, snatching a crowdsurfing baby from the arms of a stranger and cradling it for all the world to see.
