A Superman and Black Adam fight in the DCEU is confirmed to be in the works, but this matchup has to avoid a mistake seen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Henry Cavill coming back as Superman would be a huge deal, but it doesn't matter who plays the Man of Steel if his next big crossover is handled poorly. Whenever the matchup between Superman and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's titular character from Black Adam occurs, Warner Bros. has to fully commit to the idea in order to make it work. This is a huge undertaking, and the studio must learn from their letdown with Superman and Batman's fight in 2016.

In the still-controversial Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the two iconic heroes go head-to-head due to Lex Luthor's evil plan — for a little while, at least. They ultimately team up together with the help of Wonder Woman against the true villain of the film, Doomsday. The title of the movie promises Batman and Superman going up against each other, setting up the concept of an epic on-screen battle, but they rarely do any fighting on screen. It's one of the movie's major mistakes, and the lack of commitment to that plot line is such a miss for the DCEU. When Black Adam and Superman do fight, the franchise has to go all in on it for it to be successful and make up for the lackluster scuffle between Batman and Superman.

How Black Adam Vs. Superman Can Avoid Batman V Superman's Mistakes

A Black Adam versus Superman project is something that can really bring the DCEU back on its feet, but it has to be done right. A Henry Cavill Superman comeback with The Rock isn't enough to make the fight worth watching. What it all comes down to is commitment and putting a lot of energy and focus into having Black Adam and Superman truly fight one another. With Black Adam being an antihero, the two god-like individuals fighting makes sense. They are undoubtedly the two most powerful individuals in the DCEU, which makes a fight between them even more exhilarating.

Batman and Superman's matchup in the 2016 film is mediocre at best, and it could have been much better if the movie didn't lack attentiveness to its battle between the two heroes. The Rock's Superman hype is great, but the execution of the story and how it ends up playing out on-screen is very critical to this matchup. It can't just be an average brawl between the two famous actors. Fortunately, The Rock is listening to fans of the DCEU and seems to have a lot of passion for the film franchise and his character, which is reassuring. There's reason to believe his matchup with Superman will be done right with full commitment.

Who Would Win Black Adam & Superman's Fight?

Who would win in a fight between Superman and Black Adam is a very tough debate as both characters possess the powers of flight, super speed, and super strength. Black Adam has the ability to cast lightning strikes, while Superman has the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes. Black Adam and Superman are both very durable and incredibly strong as individuals, making their matchup against each other extremely balanced. Unless Black Adam has some Kryptonite or Superman somehow obtains magic that is effective against the antihero, their fight could result in either of them winning.
