Adrianna: I do not want you teaching my son violence.
Black Adam: I'm sorry...Who do you want to teach him violence then?
Black Adam: I'm sorry...Who do you want to teach him violence then?
- When Adam first awakens, the Intergang boss tells an underling to check on him. The guy looks to the side to tell the guy next to him to do it, who then looks to the guy next to him to tell him to do it, who looks to the guy next to him to do it...only there's no one there and he gives an "ah, crap, it's gonna be me" look.
- Throughout his first battle scene, as he's hit by bullets, rockets and more, what is Adam's reaction? Not anger, not pain but curiosity and bemusement at what kind of weapons these are. He plucks a bullet out of the air to examine it even as he's hit by a hail of them as if trying to understand this "magic."
- An Intergang agent tries to whack Adam's face with a metal rod. It bends without even disturbing Adam's face, let alone budging him. When the agent decides to give it another go, Adam's only reaction is a *sigh*... then the man is seen flying high in the air.
- When Adrianna is making her getaway, Adam catches up to her. She makes sure to keep her van window closed, as if that will make any difference. Then an Intergang member launches a rocket at her, which Adam catches. Adrianna is impressed, but then Adam lets the rocket go and it very nearly blasts the van.
- During his extended rampage, Black Adam grabs a live grenade and shoves it in a soldier's mouth. The soldier plucks it out and has only a second to comprehend that he's about to die.
- When Adam falls from the sky after being injured by an Eternium rocket, Adrianna starts to approach him to help. Karim stops her, because even unconscious, Adam is still generating lightning. Adrianna acknowledges the point and tells Karim to do it instead: after all, he's an electrician. Karim's face just drops.
- Kent has a horrifying premonition that leaves him catatonic for half an hour. When his chauffeur tells Kent that he waited that whole time for him to snap out of it, Kent says he should have just honked the horn rather than leave him in that state.
- Amon tries talking Black Adam into being a superhero. Not interested, Black Adam tries to leave, but Amon is in his way. Adam warns the boy that he just killed a bunch of people for standing in his way, but Amon keeps prattling on. Realizing his threat is falling on deaf ears, Adam lifts Amon by his shirt and moves him to one side, with Amon still talking.
- Adam sees a scene from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly where Clint Eastwood is about to pull out his revolver. Just as the guy on the screen does it, Adam raises his hand to blast the TV to pieces with lightning, mistaking Clint Eastwood for a wizard. Karim tries to claim he can fix it, while hurriedly assuring Adam that he's not a wizard.
- Adam mistakenly believes that Karim is Amon's dad, to the disgust of both Karim and Adrianna.
- Poor Adrianna's apartment is slowly but surely ruined over the course of the movie from Adam just walking through walls to a fight between him and Hawkman. By the last time we see it, half the place is exposed to the open air.
- Adam has zero qualms smashing through walls to get anywhere he wants.Fate: I suppose they didn't have doors in your day.
Adam: Of course we did. That's how we entered rooms.
Fate: What I just did there is called "sarcasm." - Kent's reaction to Hawkman and Black Adam having a biff is to just take a seat and eat a mint, with his left arm lazily draped over his Helmet of Fate. When he almost gets caught in the crossfire, Kent teleports to the other side of the room.
- While Hawkman and Black Adam glare down at each other, gearing up for a fight, Adrianna is beating the crap out of two Intergang mooks in the background.
- Hawkman and Black Adam's brawl ends up in Amon's room. where they scratch up, blast and otherwise destroy all the posters and toys of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Flash laying around everywhere. At one point, one of Adam's blasts destroys Superman's face!
- On the street where Hawkman and Black Adam have their brawl there's a KFC restaurant. KFC being short for Kahndaqi Fried Chicken.
- Atom Smasher brings a lot of goofball humor. Hell, the fact that his mask can blink is hard to watch with a straight face:
- When Cyclone compliments his costume, he says it's a hand-me-down from his uncle.
- Upon landing in the city, Atom Smasher charges forward, growing to the size of a building...and smashing cars with his feet. It isn't until he hears an explosion coming from behind him that Atom Smasher realizes he's lost.
- When the Justice Society approach Black Adam with the intent to negotiate with him, Atom Smasher is eating a bucket of Kahndaqi Fried Chicken. Doctor Fate teleports it out of his hands and gives him a look as if to say "dude, you're spoiling our entrance".
- Atom Smasher notes he almost hit a flying Adam while raising his other hand, onto which Hawkman flies head-on. Understandably, he again goes, "Me. You. Later!"
- Repeatedly, Hawkman gives him the, "Me, and You," scolding for his frequent mishaps.
- Black Adam is not without his snarky moments.
- He drops two enemy soldiers from a great height, capping the deed off by giving Hawkman a "whaddaya gonna do 'bout it?" shrug.
- Later on he repeats the stunt with two new soldiers as a High-Altitude Interrogation. Hawkman shouts at him not to drop them... so he drops only one. As Hawkman finds out while rescuing the first, Black Adam was lying and dropped the other guy while Hawkman was distracted. Afterwards, Adam says he dropped the soldiers knowing Hawkman would save them, and points out that meant he was being non-lethal. Dr Fate points out that he's right.
- Once Adam is noted as Sarcasm-Blind, his attempt at sarcasm ends up being Blatant Lies instead.
- Black Adam chases an agent on the assumption he's got Amon. Once he finds out the agent's hover-bike is empty, he throws the assumed kidnapper in the air. Then Doctor Fate calls him.Dr. Fate: Did you find the boy?
Black Adam: Caught one of the bikes, but he didn't have the child.
Dr. Fate: Bring me the prisoner. I'll break his mind.
Black Adam: Uh...
Dr. Fate: You killed him, didn't you?
Black Adam: (prisoner hits the ground in the background)...He didn't make it. - When JSA and Black Adam head over to Intergang stronghold, Hawkman warns everyone that they will be facing a lot of enemies, so they should be very careful and stick to the plan. Without even bothering to listen to said plan, Adam promptly flies off and single-handedly obliterates the opposition. What sells it is Hawkman and Atom Smasher's reactions, which can be boiled down to "You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!" and "Sure, why not?" respectively.
- Aside from Atom Smasher, there's plenty of comic relief to be found with Adrianna's brother Karim, played by comedian Mo Amer.
- When Adrianna tells of the history of her eternium necklace and that it's a family heirloom, Karim states that all he got was a sweater. Adrianna teases him for also inheriting their grandfather's bald spot, to which Karim tries to play bald spots off as sexy because it's a mixture of smooth and shaggy.
- After almost getting killed trying to keep the crown of SABBAC out of Intergang's hands, Karim is seen wearing it while watching tv.
- Doctor Fate notes that being shot by Ishmael isn't how Karim dies, he only needs to stay away from electricity. Karim's instantly gets unnerved, as he's an electrician!
- In the same scene, Karim mistakenly believes that Kent Nelson is an actual doctor since Kent introduced himself as Doctor Fate earlier.
- Amon is about to be attacked by the undead, and then comes Karim's van, blasting "Baby Come Back", ramming the zombies. And then he comes out of the car to fight them, saying "Don't worry, I die by electricity!"
- Really, the fact that after countless zombie movies, it takes a superhero movie to show somebody using a car to mow those shambling bastards down en masse rather than trying to peg them off one by one.
