Fans may have to keep waiting for Dwayne Johnson to officially become Black Adam on the big screen, but the antihero will star in a one-shot for DC's Year of the Villain as he faces his archenemy, Shazam.

However, this isn't the same, heroic Shazam that Black Adam is accustomed to facing off with. DC's preview of Batman/Superman #1 revealed Shazam is one of the Secret Six to be infected by the Batman Who Laughs, which should add an all-new dimension to their intense rivalry.
