The Real Captain Mar... I mean, SHAZAM! trailer!

[Dogs can't look up]

I kind of liked Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. He was believable as a spergy super-genius millennial CEO, it's just that they were never going to make enough movies to turn him into a believable comic strip Lex. In the same token I think they should have cast someone young as Batman who'd actually see it as a privilege/career move instead of another job.

I really don't know what they're doing with Joker, at this point I think DC is going full on fuck cinematic universe continuity.

I get what Eisenberg was going for, I just thought he did a terrible job in delivering it. There's also the fact that Lex is now about as iconic as Superman, especially with fans of the comics or hell even Smallville. To change the character so much was just a bad idea. Broad shouldered, brooding, almost magically intelligent and persuasive Lex is like the ultimate foil to Superman. Campy and goofy is not a good fit.

Regarding continuity, yes I think Geoff Johns mentioned that they're going to parade out some new label for random DC movies that don't tie into their main universe. My guess is so that if audiences don't respond well to Aquaman, Shazam, and Wonder Woman 2, and Man of Steel 2 doesn't come along and/or Battfleck implodes in a bad way, they can go back to making standalone movies like The Dark Knight again and give up the dream of ever competing with Marvel. They already axed the Black Adam and Cyborg movies, and I think they've put a tighter leash on whoever is working on Birds of Prey.

Not so sure if the world needs another "hero's journey" superhero origin film - and the Whedonesque dialogue in the trailer gives me the hives.

Besides there already was a production about a guy in a red suit who didn't know how to use his powers that pretty comprehensively covered the issue.

I always thought Shazam! was a bunch of kids.

Anyway, I look forward to torrenting this in about a year.

She looks like she's about to kick some ten-year-old's ass for hitting her kid with a pop-up in Little League.

It could have been worse, they could have taken inspiration from the comics where she's draw like a FtM tranny

They'd have had to cast an actual troon for that, and I don't think the Chinese would have let that shit fly.

He's wearing his medals stuck into his own flesh that's metal af.

 

[The Colonel]

This actually looks good. I'm cautious but it looks like a fun movie.

 

[Grand Lunar]

So does this still take place in the same universe as the other DC movies?

You say that but she is very noticeably off looking. Someone stole that poor woman's butt and that is concerning.

Spoiler: I have no ass and I must scream

 

[ES 148]

It looks great.

I just remembered that there was a crossover comic between Superman and the True and Honest Captain Marvel and Superman goes to confront the man that made Billy Captain Marvel, it was well written but I don't see them doing it well if they actually made a movie based on that crossover

That’s the one where Superman is reprimanding Billy, Billy reveals he’s actually just a kid, and Superman gets super-pissed at original-original Captain Marvel for giving a literal child those powers, right?

Yep

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Yep

I don’t really read comics, but I do know that one’s pretty well revived with how they characterize Superman in it.

I wonder if we'll see this cat too?

Superman/Shazam!: First Thunder is the name of the comic, if you're looking for scans/torrents.

And yes, it has Superman telling the Wizard off. And it's a damned good thing it was Supes, because I do not want to even think about oh, say, Batman's reaction to this mess.
