Two Syllables. Then The Lightning

>Two Syllables. Then The Lightning...

Billy Batson has never had it easy.
With a chip on his shoulder and his heart.
But this is the Christmas season, after all,
And Billy will get a present beyond imagination.

This is-
The Curse of Shazam!

Thanks for this Dave.

Darla's a good addition to the cast, but the Asian and Hispanic kids desperately need some distinctive characterisation.

>Freddy's dad in prison
>He's blond haired and blue eyed
>Already crippled.

Im pretty sure if Johns ever gets around to doing more we'll find out Freddy's dad is this universe's version of Captain Nazi.

...

Yeah, that's true.
I mean, they got Solomon and Hercules respectively. There's potential there.

And yeah, it'd make the most sense that he would be.

...

...

Honestly I'd be fine with just switching their nationalities around. The neurotic Asian good at math and tech and the slow Hispanic good at manual labor and driving trucks is embarrassingly lazy.

...

...

Blond Freddy feels wrong. Mostly because of his Elvis connection.

...

I love these two parental figures.

Totally understand that.

I expect them to deboot this. The old wizard Shazam showed up in metal. And Sivanas time pills in jla.

...

His design from this was also in Metal.

...

...

...

...

Tawny says "Burn it all!"

They're definitely debooting and apologizing for it. At least they're scrapping that retarded Darksei War version too, what an incompetent retarded piece of shit that was.

...

Aye. Orlando wrote a really horrible Billy.

Certain aspects get debooted. A magic whammy is on Billy.

I think they'll end up combining it with the pre-flashpoint canon. The other kids are going to be in the movie so will most likely stick in the comics, but stuff like the Wizard choosing him specifically because he's pure of heart instead of coming across him somewhat by chance looking for various candidates will come back in.

Honestly it has a lot of neat elements I hope aren't just ignored.

...

Like The Sons of Adam, Isis, and The Sivana/Mind Teamwork

Both original wizard Shazam and Abo Shazam were in Metal.

...

...

Abo Shazam is fake.

...

Awww that fucking sucks.
Abo Shazam was great.

...

He's a wizard, he could easily have just altered his appearance when appearing to Carter for whatever reason. Most likely it was just a continuity error on Capullo's part.

...

...

...

...

This is Geoff Johns at his most "Please make a movie out of my stuff"

...

...

...

...

Man I love a lot of Curse of Shazam, but their Sivana was really bad. It was going somewhere mildly interesting, but it had nothing to do with the original. It wasn't mildly subverted or twisted like the rest of the elements, but just the name slapped on somebody completely unrelated.

...

Damned if I don't love it though.

Abo Shazam is easily the best design change in the reboot, that'd be a real shame.

...

...

I really like how he ends up dishevelling into classic Sivana visually, but I will agree that character wise he really has barely anything in common.
