You claim to dislike all the film's yet can't stop talking about them which is odd as you aren't even a comic book fan.
Well, you clearly hate life itself with your whiny ass but still won't stop breathing and remove yourself from the equation either.

@Ed MOTHERfukkING G you should make an official thread for the film free of this thread
Or you could all stop crying about irrelevant shyt like a bunch of pussies.

The Rock is an interesting choice as I could see him being both a PERFECT Shazam and a great Black Adam.

Adam held us down during the 52 run.

Yes he does .he was really great in Justice society and the 52. Also he was originally a superhero

Wrong
Black adam was originally a super villian and over time became a anti-hero who is still known to fight superman, Shazam and beat them, he is thousands of years old, who gained power from a wizard while he was a slave in Egypt, he is Egyptian.

Khandaq, which is fictionally between Egypt and jordan.

He was originally a hero to the khandaqians but became a villian. He was a hero in JSA but turns when triggered by batson, the wizard, or by anyone messing with Khandaq. He bounces between supervillain and antihero.

I'm with Conz here. Because you're supposed to focus on the main heroes before these side projects. Like why do we need a deadshot film? Black Adam? Marvel focused on their main heros first and there's not quiksilver movie or whatever either. Do one thing at a time.

Marvel vs DC again
I would hate for DC to be anything like marvel.
Batman vs superman extended version was:banderas:

The darker batman, the suicide squad darkness themed creates a universe black Adam can thrive in
Both suicide squad and batman vs superman
Doesn't have to out right comical
Doesn't have to always take place in broad daylight.
Also, people die, the courthouse bombing.
The general zod fight all reflect the what happens to people when thing like this occur which you almost never see in a disney/marvel movie.

fox's new x-men/deadpool movies
and DC movies are both better as far as realism of actual superhero/villains impact on humanity

Marvel Disney is alil on the light hearted side which is fine because there's room for all of them.

To say they all should be like marvel Disney is a huge mistake...to keep it real marvel Disney had gone slowly downhill since the first avengers, the second one was just okay, Captain America winter solder got it back on track but that movie was the darkest of all marvel Disney movies

Black Adam was hero (ala sinestro) ... when BA turned evil the wizard found Billy

This is the only MARVEL VS DC .. I will ever do and have ever done.

DC used more fictional cities
Marvel used more real places

ie. Gotham/Metropolis VS New York City

Isnt he a nemisis of superman? Be cool if he got introduced in Man of Steel 2 (if that happens)

He's moreso a nemesis of Captian Marvel, but yes, superman does fight him often

I think this is great casting btw. Adam is very arrogant and funny (sarcasm usually), the rock will need to channel some of his 1999 era SmackDown persona for this one:blessed:

There's several Captain Marvels, including more than one in the Marvel Universe. You're probalby thinking of Carol Danvers, the one that "gave" rogue her powers

But the one i'm talking about is billy batson, Shazam.

YES and NO ... but that's why he's referred to as SHAZAM most of the time or on Comic Titles... he's Captain Marvel by name only but even SHAZAM has a lawsuit tied to the name

Obviously, you’re a Captain Marvel/Shazam fan, and I understand your consternation that a Marvel Comics character has absconded with the name of another hero who’s been around for 80 years. But here’s the main problem: Everyone else knows him as Shazam. Okay, there is a certain portion of comics fans — I would say way less than half, of which you are clearly one — that feels like Billy Batson is the One True Captain Marvel, but the rest of the general populace literally thinks the character’s name is Shazam anyways.

It’s all because of the rights issues, and mainly because how Marvel Comics has the rights to the name Captain Marvel. Fawcett, publishers of the original Captain Marvel/Shazam comics, stopped making them in the ‘50s. In the ‘60s, Marvel Comics trademarked the name Captain Marvel for their own Kree alien superhero, which meant when DC licensed the Fawcett characters in 1972, they had the Fawcett character named Captain Marvel, but couldn’t call the comic Captain Marvel, so they used his transformation cry “Shazam!” for the title.

This extended to other media as well — DC could not promote the character as Captain Marvel anywhere, even though the character’s named was Captain Marvel. So when Billy Batson made his TV debut in 1974, his show was titled Shazam (okay, The Shazam/Isis Hour, but you get the point).


That’s 40+ years of marketing the character as Shazam, and that’s how he’s known to pretty much everybody. Hell, even DC finally gave up when they did the New 52 and finally just renamed the character Shazam, just to cut down on the confusion, and I think it was a smart move. Point is, if even DC calls him Shazam now, he’s Shazam. This battle is lost.

Which brings us to Marvel’s Carol Danvers, and whether she should be called Ms. Marvel or Captain Marvel in her movie debut. I have to go with Captain, because 1) that’s her name now, 2) she was originally named Ms. Marvel to differentiate her from the original Kree Captain Marvel and the Kree Captain Marvel isn’t part of the cinematic universe, and 3) calling her “Ms.” just seems kind of condescending. I mean, it was standard procedure when the character was introduced in 1968, and then the name stuck. But to introduce Carol Danvers to the cinematic universe in 2015 or later and then for everyone to call her Ms. Marvel just seems weird to me, for all the reasons above. Calling her Captain Marvel in the comics was a long time coming, but it was overdue, and there’s no reason to start her out as Ms. in the movies.

If it makes you feel any better, I’d bet $100 that if/when she makes her movie debut everyone calls her “Carol” 90% of the time anyways (and then Tony Stark calls her “Ms. Marvel” at one point just to be annoying).

Yes set up a black Adam prequel have him be a champion n tell his fall from grace then defeat, and banishment like others sed it give insight to Shazam and the lore. Brings in mystic sides with the gods (ww connection since she will have already made them relevant; tho he switched to the Egyptian ones later). Have the film start with the wizard narrating then end with him at the rock of eternity showing he was talking to billy the whole time, then asks him sum bout his own temptations n demons on some shyt to see if after learning bout Adam can he accept the mantle and be better etc. it shld be easy to pull this shyt off it's not hard make Adam fight Egyptian monster n the Egyptian gods (this will serve as why after his heel he seeks them out for power rather to fight off). If D.C. Wanted this cld be there black excellence movie no white wash

perfect idea.... this whole movie could be the wizard telling the story to Billy and then when he finishes Billy says SHAZAM .. lightning comes down .. strikes Billy .. then fade to black
