New Shazam movie to be action comedy!

[The Bat]

I always thought the Character was a Joke anyway...so Yeah...it being a Comedy makes sense to Me.

Cap at one time outsold Superman and was more popular...Had the Better movie seriel....National(DC) feared that and went after Fawcett...which eventually lead to their Demise....DC bought and brought back Cap and he had a bit of a comeback....But times had changed.

Outside of Jerry Ordways hardcover and TPB version which is an awesome version....the regular Series was good. No one has really been able to recapture the Magic that made Captain Marvel awesome.

I agree

Same here, dont like the idea at all!

I'm still waiting for the Shazam TV show on DVD

Why do the feel the need to make superhero movies as a comedy? I dont like the idea

"Action Comedy" ??? Well another good hero bites the dust.

Even if they mean he is a suave, wise-cracking guy like Burt Reynolds in Smokey & the Bandit it still won't work. He doesn't have to be Superman but he shouldn't be blatantly comedic.

My first reaction reading this was I'm personally sick and tired of "stupid" movies nowadays...especially in the comedy vein...it sounds like a modern day take on West's Batman...which it seems people either love it or hate it...
