Plot Summary

After the fall of the Justice Society and the reawakening of ancient magics, Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson) now rules Kahndaq as both protector and sovereign. But peace is short-lived.

A celestial force known as NEK-RON, the Lord of the Dead Realms, breaks through the veil of the underworld, aiming to merge life and death through the Oblivion Gate—a relic once sealed by the Council of Wizards.

To stop him, Black Adam must forge uneasy alliances, including with Zatanna, John Constantine, and even the reformed Doctor Fate. As the line between hero and tyrant blurs, Black Adam must decide:

Will he destroy the darkness… or become it?
