Black Adam was free on Prime, so I said why not.

It was a bit hammy in the introduction but the Justice Society gets called right out for coming in to protect the US-coded mercenaries from Black Adam's murder spee and being nowhere to be found when Kahndaq was invaded by them in the first place.

Of course, Black Adam as anything but a nationalistic tyrant is some straight up bullshit, but whatever.

Anyways, point is, I want more superheroes fighting imperialism.

Superman was created as an anti-fascist, and needs to return to his roots, not let a tornado kill his dad.

Superman's real weakness was his lack of weaknesses. It made his physical character development non-existent so they were left with writing him into social situations. Superman is a MacGuffin, Clark is the main character.

Superheroes fighting false information online would be nice. Or forcing public healthcare through government. Etc etc.
