“ There are a match of thing we want to take [ with that lagger ] , ” producer Hiram Garcia told io9 at a recent public press event . “ One , that the movie ’s sport . The movie ’s heavy . Two , I call back that when you see Black Adam , you realize that we ’re reward the amusing account book version of Black Adam . He does n’t pull his punches . He can be judge , jury , and executioner . And his approach to how he does things is very much opposite of what typical heroes would do . ”
