fans of Tawky Tawny and the old 70s show will get a kick out of this one!

Fun stuff! Thanks for posting.

This has me wondering (again!): When will WB release the Filmation 1981 Shazam! cartoons?

Am I seeing little subliminal hints to introduce Shazam to the general public well in advance of a feature film? I think this is the courting phase of the relationship( or stalking, whatever suits you). I seriously think you're going to see a bunch of Shazam appearances in the next couple of years leading up to the movie. I think they are trying to build up the familiarity with the character first to supplement the ticket buying audience that will lay down their cash for anything the Rock does. They don't want to just bank on his name recognition, they are burning both ends of the cinematic candle to create awareness, anticipation and revenue. You won't see any complaints from me.

Looks like old school Captain Mar el isn't quite gone yet.

^Now THAT...I may have to buy. I only hope the good Captain isn't pummeled to death at story's end, and Mary doesn't become a goth prostitute or something.

If they play it completely old school, this will be fantastic. The art is beautiful.

I think Shazam! would make an excellent animated series for Cartoon Network right now. Even more so than in years before. Every single one of CN's shows that has some kind of adventure element is bizarre and semi-comedic. What's more bizarre than a talking tiger in a 3-piece suit, an evil worm with a radio on his chest, and a badguy named Mr. Banjo? Why WB doesn't exploit the snot out of this franchise is beyond me.

It's been happening for the last few decades or so---it just hasn't worked yet.
