Adam is a leader first, and one thing a capable leader should do is encourage the potential of younger generations.īlack Adam's acknowledgement of Damian's skills is actually a humbling admission for the ruler, who is often considered arrogant.

A similar example from the main DC Universe has Black Adam giving compliments to the young hero and fellow Justice League member, Naomi. He knows potential when he witnesses it and as long as what he sees doesn't interfere with his personal goals or the state of Kahndaq, he is capable of respect. Though he's seen as a tough and intimidating figure, Black Adam isn't exactly an unfair person. He's selected not only for the good example of heroism he sets for Kara, but for the prowess in stealth and deception he shows. After spending the night showing Supergirl the hero ropes, Black Adam is convinced that Damian Wayne has worth and brings him onto their side. Adam agrees to hear Damian out, telling Kara in private that while powerless, Damian is a very accomplished human. As Nightwing, he now works under his grandfather, Ra's al Ghul, and journeys to Kahndaq in an attempt to draft Black Adam, who is in the middle of assisting an inexperienced Supergirl.

Damian Wayne, for example, leaves his father’s side to join Superman’s faction, while also assuming the role of Nightwing after Dick Grayson’s death. As heroes take sides, cracks begin to show in even some of the most reliable bonds fans have come to know and love. Spinning out of the video game of the same name, the comic book tie-in Injustice and its sequel are set in a world where Superman has become a despot after Joker takes the life of Lois Lane.
