I mean it has to be more successful than fricking Green Lantern right? I think with the right director it can be just as successful as a Superman movie or make just as much money as fricking Thor and Captain America, thoughts?

You mean Shazam? DC can't use that name anymore. Marvel own's it.

Average Joe Moviegoer isn't going to line up at the theatres for a movie called Shazam.

Ah, Earth's mightiest mortal. I enjoyed the short with him and Superman against Black Adam.

Yep.

He just doesn't have the recognizable name like like Batman, Superman or any of the avengers have.

If they could get Justin Bieber to play Billy Batson, it could work.

He just looks like Superman's gay lover or something.

There's a couple of different versions of him. DC did the shazaam version and now Marvel owns it and calls him Mar-Vel. Just curious which version you were talking about.

They're two different characters. DC can still use the name Captain Marvel, but they can't title their comics (or movie, presumably) that.

I'd rather see a captain planet movie. Aisha Tyler needs to play the black chick
