    This could be fun.... Hope it’s not another suicide squad cause I thought from the trailer that would be deadly!

    And he can be boring as feck.
    Do you honestly think that he will be the immature Shazam beyond the mid point of the film?
    He'll learn to be responsible here, and show character progression.

    He's not killing anyone, watch the trailer again. He f*cks up and causes the bus to crash, but the trailer / film immediately calls him out for causing it.

    It's obvious the arc will be about Batson learning that .. well, with great power... comes great responsibility?

    Hard to see how else you could spin any story of a teenager who comes into possession of something that empowers them. It'd take more effort just to steer clear of the analogy with adolescence :)

    So, boring and not like a teen at all.
    FFS he's going to get powers, mess around, **** up/get his ass handed to him, potentially lose powers and get them back, learn from his mistakes, grow as a person/hero, beat the bad guy, and then... profit???

    aquaman movie was similar to the comics that why it did brilliantly



    on the screen



    only reason dc justice league and Batman vs superman movies were crap because director never focus on the comics

    You seem to have a habit of only reading some of the comics, and giving out when the film doesn't match the actual few comics you've read. The New 52 version of Shazam/Billy seems to be the version that this film is based on from the trailers. The writers and director have focused on the comics, just not the ones you read.

    Maybe you should wait for the actual movie. Although deciding that the tiny part you've seen from the trailers is the only part that exists is in keeping with your habit of deciding that the few comics you've read are the only version of the character that exists...

    Hard reality: Shazam is not a popular, well known character. He could be 180 for the difference it would make.

    And thank God someone had the sense to bring a little humour to an obviously humourless scenario.

    God even the name is daft. I love comic books but sometimes it's worth stepping back and acknowledging that half the premises are a bit silly
