Dwayne Johnson’sBlack Adamended up becoming the laughingstock of the DC Extended Universe after it critically and commercially failed to perform at the box office in 2022. Despite its numerous criticisms, there’s one thing fans give it credit for – the costumes.
James Gunn’s upcomingSupermanmovie is currently getting so much flak after behind-the-scenes photos leaked online and showed unimpressive wardrobes for Hawkgirl and Green Lantern. Is the highly anticipated project going to disappoint fans in the costume department?
Fans ThinkBlack Adam’s Costumes Are Far Superior To DCU’s Suits
A fan from Twitter shared a set of photos fromDwayne Johnson’sBlack Adamshowing the various fantastic outfits of its characters.
BLACK ADAM YOU WERE NOT GOOD BUT I WILL NEVER DOUBT YOUR COSTUME DESIGN EVER !!!pic.twitter.com/PaTLJLPnBw
The actor previously commended his team of costume designers in a post after toiling hard to bring the most authentic and striking character outfits to life. “Authenticity and accuracy for costumes were so important to us,” The Rock said, before adding, “Our ‘best in the biz’ costume designers (Kurt, Bart & team) took a lot of pride in taking it to the next level.”
Thanks guys.Authenticity and accuracy for costumes were so important to us.Our “best in the biz” costume designers (Kurt, Bart & team) took a lot of pride in taking it to the next level.#BlackAdamhttps://t.co/Q1ep0DBaht
The viral fan post was in response to the leaked images ofIsabela Merced’s Hawkgirl andNathan Fillion’s Green Lantern. Fans did not like the costumes as they looked too generic and low-effort. Netizens could not help but compare it with that of DCEU. Here’s what people think of this comparison:
BA’s casting and comic book suits here are some of the best in all of CBM in the last 5 years.It damn near makes up for that MidASS movie.And honestly, a better movie than the flash in my humble opinion.
The downgrade is insane WTFpic.twitter.com/rqj1Hhi2iU
Okay let me start off by saying, I’m extremely excited for Superman and I’ve really liked everything we’ve seen so far, but after seeing the Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner leaks…why are the costumes so CW?Especially when Hawkman looked so great in Black AdamI don’t get itpic.twitter.com/dF7rad9H1B
Guy Gardner’s costume in the comics is such Gunn’s style I’m shocked that this looks nothing like it. Hawkgirl’s costume is a huge downgrade from the Hawkman costume in Black Adam which isn’t a good look. I also don’t like that they all have matching Lordtech suits.https://t.co/X0U9j6aFuh
The Black Adam movie lacked a lot of things but their costume Department said they are gonna eat and they did🧎🏿Comic accurate suit dawg.pic.twitter.com/3mk9aw3d29
It remains unknown if these suits were just prototypes, butJames Gunnand his team could definitely do better in terms of the superhero fits. Even thoughBlack Adamfailed to flesh out its narrative, it did not stint on the budget for costumes.

It also helped that the outfits inBlack Adamdon’t even need the help of CGI to look fantastic. It’s only sad that the movie had so much potential and the collective hate towards it has completely dragged it through the depths of no redemption.
WillBlack AdamJoin The DCU?
After James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the DC Universe, things changed at the headquarters and a new slate of projects calledChapter 1: Gods and Monsterswas announced. Unfortunately,Black Adamwas nowhere to be found on the list.

Still, The Rock assured fans that even though Teth-Adam won’t get a solo movie in the DCU, he and Gunn have spoken about a possible collaboration:
However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.

The future ofBlack Adamremains vague at this point, and it seems Johnson is busy with his other projects at the moment. With the numbers it churned during its theatrical run,Black Adamgoing solo flight again may not be the best idea after all.
Black Adamis available to watch on Netflix.
