Shazam is the ORIGINAL Captain Marvel. The company that created Shazam kinda built him around the design of Superman in the late 30s/early 40s. What happened is the kids related to Captain Marvel’s story more than Superman’s. Superman was an alien. Captain Marvel was a teenager who got powers and could change back n forth between regular scrawnt teen to adult Captain Marvel with muscles with just saying the words. Comic book fans(majority kids and teens) related to that much more and Captain Marvel ended up doing better than Superman in that era. DC got pissed and sued the publishing company who created Captain Marvel. They ended up buying the rights to Captain Marvel and sat on it until the 60s when Marvel came with their own Captain Marvel. Then they ended up turning his name exclusively to Shazam to avoid confusion.

What Villians does Shazam even have OP?Superman brings all the box office villians to the table for DC other than Batman so you would be wrong.
Instead of trying to kill Superman I've been saying they need to just kill Lois. She is singlehandedly the biggest scene and momentum killer for Superman if you look back. Everytime she shows up the momentum completely dies out,all for them to force this romance on us that nobody cares about,that they haven't really built up.
How the hell can Iron Man and Pepper Pots have a greater romance story arch when they pay about 100% less time trying to convince you that Tony loves her,and 100% less time making Tony save her outta nowhere to drive the point home:snoop:

Kill Lois,make Superman great again,and cast a great Batman and DC might be back on track. Only reason I don't say blow the whole thing up is Gal Gadot has been a great Wonder Woman:blessed:

Shazam is used to be called Capt. Marvel but they lost the name for obvious reasons long ago. OP being a stanboy is trying doing stan things. He could have just said Shazam...
You know they still call him Captain Marvel :stopitslime:. He only says Shazam to become Captain Marvel. You just like being a contrarian

So you gonna ignore how DC basically sabotaged and suppressed captain Marvel because they were salty because he is better than Superman? You going to ignore how the Tv show Shazam was successful enough that DC can make a movie off its name and the nostalgia that comes with it?
nikka what. Them making the movie literally has shyt to do with the damn TV show. Barely anybody even remembers that shyt so to say DC made a movie to capitalize of the show is ridiculous. They made this due to his recent resurgence in popularity and appearances in the comics after the reboots and his popularity in the animated movies. Which Superman is and will forever be many times more popular in.

Superman brought nothing to the Justice League movie but angst.

The Justice League didnt even bring anything. shyt was ass and I love DC so to say they dont need him off one shytty movie is ridiculous do you not understand just how important he is to so many major storylines. Name me a few major justice league storylines that involve Shazam but not Superman
