WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Teth-Adam (Johnson), a slave in the ancient kingdom of Kahndaq, is bestowed with the powers of the gods, but upon using them for nefarious purposes he is imprisoned for thousands of years. After he is awakened in the modern day, the newly-christened Black Adam sets out to continue his brutal tactics, which attracts the attention of the Justice Society of America, a group of heroes who attempt to teach him how to use his powers for good instead of evil, in order to take down a foe more powerful than even Black Adam…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
