That's pretty close to how the New 52 Personality of Shazam is.

There was a lot more to it than just one long action sequence. There was lots of character moments between Vic and his father, Vic and Billy, Billy and his family, Wonder Woman talking to the protestors, and other scenes.

I personally have no qualms with the New 52, it's not the first time the DCU was rebooted. Sure I miss characters from before it, but people still miss Pre-Crisis Supergirl too.

Wait Captain Marvel is now called Shazam? That is fucking retarded.

I didn't really like Shazam's inclusion in the story either. His bits did feel a bit shoehorned in. Other than that I though it was a great film though.

Was that mid-credits scene a setup to that Atlantis storyline Justice League did? I presume that's why they dropped Aquaman from the film?

So much love for New 52 Aquaman. He is getting his own movie?

THe problem is not Captain Marvel himself, but Billy. Billy is supposed to be this kind hearted always positive and respectful kid because he doesn't have a true family, so he makes what he has worth it. That is why he is able to become Captain Marvel. Here, he was just a little snot nosed shit who was a thief and unlikable. Why would Shazam give his powers to Billy? The boy needs a smack across the face and a spanking more than he needs super powers.

Yeah it is.

Here is a little comic I made on it:

He was supposed to, but they canceled it and replaced it with Son of Batman and Batman Arkham Assault.

Lol at that comic! That is exactly what I was thinking, how does he get around that?

And wow they replaced it with two Batman movies? Amazing...

Yeah, they first called him that in Injustice, I believe.

So the latest issue of Batman just came through my door

I can hear the Steph fangirls from here.

What happened with Stephanie?!

She was in it.
