World War III

World War III is the title of two similar stories in DC Comics, but the one we’ll be referring to here is the 2007 story that occurred in the new 52 continuity. It tells the story of Black Adam’s rage-fueled war against humanity after his family is murdered – and that would make a hell of a movie.

Why? Well, for starters, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is playing Black Adam in the DC Extended Universe! The flagship action star of the modern era in the starring villainous role would be pretty damn awesome.

The heroes of the DC universe have to step in to take Black Adam down – it’s a bit like World War Hulk in the Marvel universe in that sense – and it would be fantastic to see the likes of Henry Cavill’s Superman, Ben Affleck’s Batman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, and countless other superheroes being torn apart by the angry Black Adam on the big screen.
