has delivered in the costume design of characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and the Suicide Squad has been a good omen for Black Adam and the Justice Society. Related: How Black Adam Already Hints At The Rock's DCEU Power Shift
While this wouldn't be much of a problem for superhero teams that can be adapted to any era, it could become a bit of an issue for characters who are supposed to come from Ancient Egypt. Just like wrestler-style trunks and endless pouches have defined certain eras of comic book costumes, all-leather uniforms and overly tactical superhero suits will likely look quite dated in a few years' time. Hence, their costumes need to look realistic and functional, but not too contemporary. Unlike the Justice League, the Birds of Prey, or the Teen Titans, the Justice Society are linked to ancient times in many ways. Fortunately, the prevalence of superhero movies in recent times comes with an excellent eye for detail when it comes to costume design.Īdapting the Justice Society to live-action is a big challenge. For every faithful iteration of the iconic Superman suit, there are a few Flash costumes that just refuse to look right, and even though Aquaman's royal armor had all the chances to look absurd, it managed to look much more serious than Batman's Batsuit did for a couple of movies in the late '90s. Some comic book characters are harder to translate to the screen than others. The Black Adam footage shown in Warner Bros.' "The World Needs Heroes" trailer reveals that Dwayne Johnson's Teth-Adam and the Justice Society look even better in live-action than many fans expected.
