2. When Will It Be Released?
Despite being in the very early stages of production, Shazam is rumoured to be the second movie that Warner Bros. and DC Comics will be releasing, and that was at one point said to be in late 2016.
Of course, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is now their only movie that year, so where does that leave Shazam? Well, the studio have two slots in 2017 (one of which is widely believed to be for Justice League), so where it ends up falling should end up being very telling. If it’s before, don’t be surprised to see Shazam joining the team.
That was actually the case in a recent animated feature released by Warner Bros., so it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see the movies follow suit. Of course, there has also been talk of Shazam being a standalone movie, but it will be a great shame if he’s not part of the DC Cinematic Universe.
One note: Superman does not have a weakness to magic. He just doesn’t have any special protection against it. He is as vulnerable to magic as any other person, but no more vulnerable.
Number 10 sounds like this is going to be a love-fest for Black Adam and a stroke-off to Geoff Johns’ ego.
Number 9 is complete and utter garbage. The only issue Marvel had with DC over Captain Marvel was the use of the name on comic book covers. Geoff Johns declared that “Shazam” was a “better known” name than Captain Marvel, which is crap. FYI, Johns GOT RID OF Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury, labeling them as “unnecessary to the mythos.”
Number 8: so what? I think, with some cosmetic appliances, Oded Fehr would make a better Black Adam. He can actually act. The Rock plays only one “character”: the Rock.
Number 7: ah, yes… ANOTHER book Johns “writes” (read: uses to PANDER to his fanboi base). FYI, if he has the “wisdom of Solomon,” it would COMPENSATE for any “inexperience.”
Number 6: THAT is NOT Billy Batson; he’s a pale, twisted imitation of Billy. Billy Batson was a GOOD KID who SAW the wrong path EVERY DAY and REFUSED to follow it.
I’m not even going to try to go through five through one. This whole article is proof that neither you, nor Johns, nor the people behind this crap knows the character (CAPTAIN MARVEL) OR his history.
Which is, in and of itself, pretty vulnerable. If I have a literally magic bullet, I could shoot him as dead as a normal person.
“Gave that title to Ms. Marvel not too long ago.” What? Was a LONG time ago.
