October is going to be a slower month than the jam-packed September, but while this month brings us fewer titles, they still pack a punch. Out of the entire lot, one to be the most excited about is DC’s Black Adam, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. This movie has been in the works for a while, and is meant to tie in with Shazam! (while hopefully bringing some much-needed hype to the DCEU after the cancellation of Batgirl, Wayne Family Adventures, and all the drama surrounding Ezra Miller and their Flash project). The beginning of October is quiet, but starts to pick up mid-month, serving as the perfect primer for what’s to come.
