The last son of Krypton, Superman, versus the wielder of the power of Shazam, Captain Marvel Or as they put it, Superman vs Shazam. I'm not sure when the flip happened and they started calling him Shazam after years of calling him Captain Marvel, but okay.* The two characters are both powerhouses and could stand toe-to-toe[...]

Shazam! is the next DC property that is coming to the big screen, and horror director David Sandberg is set to helm the production Sandberg, known for his horror movies such as Annabelle: Creation and Lights Out, is not the first DC director to go from horror movie roots to a comic book movie —[...]

And where you'd think the director would be out promoting the hell out of the film, he instead took time to tease fans about the next film on his plate, the DC Comic adaptation of Shazam!. There has been a lot of talk about the project and even though Dwayne Johnson is set to play Black[...]

When it was revealed that Shazam! was going to be the next DC movie to go into production people were a little confused When you have movies that have leads that are already cast, such as Cyborg, The Flash or even a sequel like Suicide Squad 2 you'd think those would be the primary focus[...]

Shazam is the story about a young boy who gains the powers of Gods and becomes Earth's mightiest mortal Warner Bros has been talking about this franchise for a while, since getting Dwayne Johnson to sign on to play the character's antagonist, Black Adam…who has the same powers as he does "Shazam" is the word[...]

Pictures has announced their next DC Comics related film on the slate, and it just happens to be Shazam. This will NOT be the previously announced Black Adam film, and at this time, there is no involvement of Dwayne Johnson with the Shazam picture  In fact, the Black Adam project will be a spinoff of this newly announced project. Director David Sandberg (Lights[...]

"I'm not even going to tell you his name, I'm just going to say Lone Ranger… I just remember meeting him and walking away going, 'Man, that guy would look great, I bet, as Shazam.' And by the way, he's one of a handful." The reference is to that fact that Hammer played the Lone Ranger[...]

Even after clarifying his previous Black Adam-as-Hero sentiments for the Shazam films in a youtube Q&A video last week, there have been some questions among fandom if The Rock was locked in on the character he was playing  In the video, he says in part, "Yes, of course Black Adam in the mythology is a[...]

Sandberg is reportedly in talks with New Line to direct the upcoming DC Cinematic Universe film Shazam, according to a report from sandwich-themed Hollywood gossip website The Wrap Shazam is a movie about a boy named Billy Batson, who says the magical word "shazam" and is imbued with magical powers from a wizard who is[...]

You should believe in the Power of Shazam… DC does, enough to split that part of their universe into 2 films One will focus on Billy Batson's journey to becoming Captain Marvel while the other will focus on his villain, Black Adam Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has already been cast as Black Adam for quite[...]

This one has been penciled in on the slate for what seems like forever, but Dwayne Johnson not only just put the buzz on Shazam front and center, he also puts a spotlight on the 'tonal shift' that they've been telling us is coming: Had a very cool and strategic meeting with the heads of DC about their[...]

Artist Evan "Doc" Shaner has posted all of his model sheets for Convergence: Shazam #1 on his tumblr page Notice on how each page he does a head shot of the character in the style of classic Shazam artist C.C Beck right above his own take He even does the classic coloring on them. I've seen these[...]

It's always fun when you write one piece of gossip (such as Geoff Johns moving back from two to one monthly comic, orders from above) and have some of it confirmed (DC creators bitching amongst themselves about Geoff Johns choosing his own comics to see turned into DVT over others) and have others denied. Such that[...]

Geoff Johns tweeted out this variant cover for an upcoming Justice League issue where we see Cyborg and Shazam playing video games together… Science seems to be kicking magic's butt.

Now that Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson has let the world know he's going to be playing Black Adam in an upcoming Shazam movie, it's time for the promotional campaign to begin That includes raising the profile of the Black Adam character and a good place to start is video games. This images was tweeted yesterday by[...]

Now EW is saying that Shazam is going to be produced by New Line Cinema, a subsidiary of Warner Bros and will be separate from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in both continuity and tone. Toby Emmerich, president of New Line, had this to say about the tone of the upcoming film and the self-announced[...]

Unlike most times when the theater wants you to turn your phone off during a movie, the music recognition app Shazam (not the DC Comics character) wanted you to turn it on at the end of Guardians so you could find links to exclusive content. Did you? No? It's okay, seems the videos are both available on Youtube and[...]

Which works out at about 50 cents an issue. So that's volume 1 of Justice League, Action Comics, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Justice League Dark, Shazam!, and Green Arrow. I wouldn't want to try to read them on a regular Kindle, but it's a pretty nice deal for the Kindle Fire. The deal will last til 3[...]

And eventually they found he'd been replaced by Captain Marvel Shazam. there may be a perfectly justifiable reason why Aquaman has been removed from this movie But the fact that DC/WB saw no reason to mention what that might be–not anticipating (or simply not caring) people's reaction–is the part that confounds me the most. Aquaman is one[...]

First, John Constantine has a little chat with Captain Marvel Shazam about knowing all about him, in Justice League Dark. And then literally walks him out of Justice League Dark… and into Constantine… …quite literally So what's all this about Shazam and his family? Turns out that Constantine was lying about knowing anything about him[...]
