Dummies Guide to Geekdom

Black Adam for Dummies is here! Spider-Dan joins us to prepare everyone for the newest DC film to answer the question 'who is Black Adam?'

First appearing in 1945 as a creation of Otto Binder and C.C. Beck for Fawcett comics, today's character took a slightly strange route to be the star of a DC movie. Dan gives us an insight into his creation, background and the changes he's had along the way. We also get the crystal ball out as Dan looks at what we may be looking to expect from a movie franchise.
Whether you're going to watch the film or just want to know what people are talking about, this is the episode for you.
