No explanation why JSA is working with Waller or if this has been a thing before her Suicide Squads

No explanation why Superman is working with Waller. It feels they just added him to bait viewers and go with what the Rock wants which is BA vs Superman.

Origin of how Teth Adam got powers contradict what the wizard said on Shazam.

And why is Adrianna searching for the crown in the first place??

In Peacemaker it shows Waller having access to the JL.

Also, has the JSA existed this whole time? If so, where were they during the last couple massive crises in the DCEU?

They said their job is to prevent global instability, where were they when Luthor tried to bring Doomsday to life?

Or when Zod invaded, or when Steppenwolf was trying to destroy the earth, or when the Atlanteans were about to destroy the human world…

And why is Adrianna searching for the crown in the first place??

She says at the beginning it is too powerful and others were searching for it.

I mean JL is very self-righteous. Amanda just needs to throw a Hey bros there's a baddie on the loose they'll probably swarm in like flies

Waller is government and the JSA literally has America as part of the acronym so im sure they worked together before. This definitely does contradict Waller’s idea for creating the SS if she’s already working with metahumans that are good. DCEU is a continuity mess so i wouldnt get too worked up about it.

Waller knows all the JL identities, since we see Walled giving Bruce the identities of Aquaman and Flash at the end of SS so its safe to say she has access to Superman if need be. You forget how much of a badass Waller is.

Technically the wizards did choose the wrong champion by choosing Hurut who then gave his powers to his father and then we do see Black Adam killing the wizards except for the one we see in Shazam, albeit it in a very shaky-cam way.

Addriana doesn’t want intergang to find it because its dangerous. She just wants to hide it again so that no one finds it.

They did not need Amanda Waller on a zoom-call in this, it is confusing things.

They should have just had a U.S. government guy over zoom-call
