DC introduces the Justice Society in a series of pre-Black Adam specials
The Justice Society is considered the first superhero team in American comic books, debuting back in the Golden Age of the '40s, and they'll finally make their big-screen movie debut in October's upcoming Black Adam film. To set the stage for the movie and the Justice Society's film debut, DC will release a series of one-shot comic books titled Black Adam: The Justice Society Files themed around the members of the team who will appear in Black Adam, as announced via The Beat.

And for Adrianna, the description of her chapter establishes her as an archaeologist who winds up inadvertently working for InterGang - the Metropolis
