Power girl is a version of Supergirl form an alternate universe. Obviously Allison Mack voiced her back when she was seen as “good”. Captain Marvel IS Shazam. DC was forced to change his name. Yes Starfire is in the Teen Titans. I hope you’ll watch the Teen Titans animated series. I can’t wait till you watch the Justice League animated series. You’ll be introduced to so many characters.

I like this version of Amanda Waller, it’s more accurate to her original appearances in the Suicide Squad comics. She doesn’t hate superheroes, unless they get in her way. She’s not really interested in power. She lost 2 children and her husband to violent crime and wants to protect other people from that kind of tragedy. While she has an “ends justify the means” mentality there are moral lines that she won’t cross.

The name "Captain Marvel" has a complicated history. After suing Fawcett Comics into the ground (for supposedly plagiarizing Superman with the character Captain Marvel), they bought them out and got their entire catalogue of characters. But then they forgot to renew the trademark for the name Captain Marvel, and Marvel Comics jumped at the opportunity and created their own character with the same name. Then both DC and Marvel had characters named that for a long time (Marvel passing the name around to a few different characters) until ultimately DC just stopped using the name and started calling him Shazam instead (which had already been the title of the comic for a long time). So until recently, this character was called Captain Marvel, but he is now known as Shazam (which was originally just the name of the wizard who gave him his powers and the word he shouts to activate them).

@@Filbi Actually, I may have oversimplified a few things. That included. I don't think DC technically acquired the Fawcett catalogue until later, but there was some kind of licensing deal or something for a while before that. I'm not sure who missed the train on trademarking the Captain Marvel name (everyone, I guess), but MF using it in 1966 definitely prevented anyone else from registering it. If they were the only ones actively using it in comics at that time, they would have had the chance to register it themselves. The fact that Marvel was able to start using it the following year tells me MF did not in fact register it, and that may have in fact been a contributing factor to Marvel jumping on it in 1967 with Mar-Vell.

@@Swenglish Yeah, DC didn't realize Fawcett's characters were for sale until around 1973, which is when they launched their SHAZAM comic, by which time Marvel had already trademarked the CAPTAIN MARVEL name.

If I were in the interest of using them, I'd wait until at least 95 years after the end of their first year of publication as a complete team, and...well, I suppose I'd have to rename them *yet again* to steer clear of both DC and Marvel trademarks. It's a lot of hoops and I can't imagine it being worth the trouble. Unless none of those copyrights were renewed in the first place, which I assume would take some effort to confirm. At the end of the day, it's easier to just invent a new superhero team.

Nope. After a dispute in the court for plagiarism by DC against Fawcett Comics (the original publishers of Captain Marvel), DC won and Fawcett had to quit publishing the character in mid 1940's (now you know why CM operates in Fawcett City). After it Fawcett Comics went bankrupt and were purchased by DC. In the 1970's Marvel wanted to have a character named Captain Marvel and as the original had been unpublished for more than 15 years the trade mark was free. Once DC wanted to start publishing again the original CM comic they couldn't name it Captain Marvel as it was property of Marvel Comics but as they retained the character's name they published the comic with the name Shazam but the character was still Captain Marvel. But there has not been any lawsuit between Marvel and DC. DC just changed the name to adjust it to the comic book's name for a very stupid reason. They thought having different names in character and his comic book would be confusing. But they have the complete right to use the name Captain Marvel. Now you know why Fox and Sony must launch a movie of each of their characters (as Fantastic Four, X-Men, Hulk and Spiderman's in other media than comics were sold to them, merchandise included) at least once every 14 years so they can keep their trademarks in these media. And that's why you see Spiderman in the MCU wearing at least 3 different suits: part of the agreement with Sony is Spiderman having several suits so Sony can sell more toys.

I do miss the inner narrations of each character buy again, this isn't a comic book, but there were some really nice perspectives from Clark and Bruce about one another that you don't hear in the movie, but the movie still does a great job with their dynamic and how they play off one another. The part where Superman tells Lex that Batman was his best friend, when he thought he was dead, dude, great line

This has convinced me that you’re going to love the Justice League once you get to that (whenever you do). “Captain Marvel” is Shazam, but technically speaking this character had the name second to another Captain Marvel (not the one you’re thinking of) and so legally had to change his name.

Captain Marvel was Shazam's original name--"Shazam" is the name of the wizard that gave 10 year-old Billy Batson his powers, and saying it transforms him into an adult superhero. Originally published under Fawcett Comics during the 1940s, DC Comics successfully sued Fawcett for Captain Marvel's resemblance to Superman which left the character's name up for grabs. The character went dormant until the 1970s, where DC fully purchased the rights to using the *character* of Captain Marvel... but couldn't use that name in the title of the book, because *Marvel Comics* came up with their own version of Captain Marvel and bought the rights to that name. So DC settled for titling the revived book "Shazam," but Billy Batson could still use the name "Captain Marvel" within the story itself in ongoing comics and adaptations. This lasted until 2011's New 52 reboot, where they decided "fuck it" and just straight-up called him "Shazam."

Captain Atom was actually created by one of the most conservative comic artists, Steve Ditko (Spider-man's co-creator) and he was the inspiration for Watchmen's Doctor Manhattan. Captain Atom isn't necessarily conservative per say (it depends on the writer), but he is a straight laced military guy, so it is in character for him to obey the president over his friends.

Depending on the version, Lex was born into poverty in Metropolis, in the most dangerous neighborhood, Suicide Slum. His parents were horrible people who mistreated him. One day he decided to kill them in a fake accident and collected the insurance money. That's how he started. What is "impressive" is that unlike other rich people like Bruce or Oliver who have a lot of money thanks to the family fortune established over several generations, Luthor has become more or less the second richest person in the world (behind Bruce again depending on the version) by itself in just a few years. Obviously by some illegal or immoral means, but it really shows how intelligent he is. In any case, I loved your reaction. Really happy to continue seeing you on your journey in the DC Universe.❤

Ironic that Lex Luthor as President back then was thought to be an unimaginable thing, at least that was the case before Trump became President. Honestly, I'd rather take Lex as President ngl. Btw if you're confused about Shazam's name, the character was originally named Captain Marvel,but due to a long-lasting legal battle between DC and Marvel,they eventually came to an agreement where DC owns the character. Marvel took the name Captain Marvel and DC chose to rename this hero Shazam. Would highly recommend the animated short film: Superman and Shazam vs Black Adam, its really good

Black lightning is a different hero than Static Shock, he's a DC original whereas static was part of DC's purchase of a different comic company (DC used to do that quite a lot, coincidentally Captain Atom and Shazam were also added to their universe this way). Their powers are pretty similar, but static's is more based around electomagnetism whereas Black Lightning is just more directly shooting electricity out of his hands.

So on the Captain Marvel/Shazam thing, it’s a complicated legal situation but put simply: Way back when Superman was invented a rival comics company called Fawcett Comics created Captain Marvel to take advantage of the demand for superheroes. National Comics, the company that would eventually become DC, sued Fawcett claiming that Captain Marvel was a copyright infringement based on both him and Superman being vaguely similar looking. Eventually they won and Fawcett agreed to never publish anything relating to Captain Marvel again. Eventually DC would buy the rights for Captain Marvel from Fawcett but in the intervening time their copyright for the title Captain Marvel had lapsed and Marvel had bought for their own character fo the same name. DC would publish the new Captain Marvel comics under the name Shazam! despite the character still being called Captain Marvel. Over time people became confused and started calling the character Shazam and eventually DC just decided to make that his name rather than constantly dealing with the confusion. As a result whether he’s called Captain Marvel or Shazam varies depending on the preferences of the creator.

PowerGirl is Kara/Supergirl from an alternate universe in which she grew up faster and the comic writers have been quoted as saying that the reason she is now famous for having giant assets is because they decided that the owners of dc weren’t paying attention so they slowly but surely kept increasing the size trying to get their attention and it took way longer than they expected for anyone to catch on and tell them to stop so now she has this design.

Original source material was a comic with the same title, and doesnt have much of anything to do with the Trump presidency, but the animated movie had to adhere to the source material, and since Lex is a billionaire who did become president for a breif one-term thing.....pretty big coincidence, but that's all it is. I can see the parallels, though.

This was just a buddy cop movie with Batman and Superman at the centre and I loved it! Yeah Shazam was originally called Captain Marvel but to differentiate him from the Marvel Carol Danvers they gave him the name Shazam. As for Starfire I recommend the movies Teen Titans vs Justice League and Teen Titans Judas Contract if you want the rundown of who she is. Note there are several other movies to establish that particular universe. Starting with Justice League Flashpoint.

So in regards to Captain Marvel/Shazam. They're the same person. Fawcett Comics (a company the would later become part of DC) made the character first. Later Marvel had their own Captain Marvel (At the time Captain Mar-Vel of the Kree Empire. If you wanna know about him, I'd suggest watching Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes). After some time, a legal dispute broke out and DC was forced to change their Captain Marvel's name to Shazam

The original comic is a collection named Superman/Batman (2003). The movie adapts issues #1-6 and if the movie is good the comic book is even better. The overal story is exactly the same but the comic deepens more into their minds focusing on their thoughts about the other making it one of the best comic books having the World's Finest working together. Please, if you have the chance read it. The complete comic lasted 7 years but the saga seen in the movie spans only the 1st 6 issues.

There are around a couple of dozen characters across multiple companies called Captain Marvel. Not just DC and Marvel. "SHAZAM!" was the original Captain Marvel, but had to change his name due to Marvel copyrighting the name first.

27:03 It's important to know that "DC Comics" is really a bunch of different smaller comic book companies that have merged together over the years. Usually through lawsuits, bullying a company into halting publication. Leaving them vulnerable to being purchased. Captain Marvel used to be more popular than Superman. But DC sued them, then bought them.

Yeah, this is one of the better outings, because this is at the point where the DC animated movies were really at the top of their game, coming out strong with new movies every few months. But I can't help thinking that the story here would have been just a little bit tighter if it hadn't glossed over one significant plot point from the original comics. Because Lex was so worried that Superman was just going to come banging down his door one day, he started taking massive doses of Venom (you know, the stuff Bane 'roids out on) laced with liquid Kryptonite for the purposes of acting as an equalizer...because naturally, he thought he could handle it, right? But the more Venom he pumped into his system, the more paranoid and impulsive he became and the more injections he kept taking. So by the time the whole thing came to a head, Lex was tweaking so bad on Venom, his mind could barely function, which is what ultimately led to his whole meltdown. Granted, the movie does touch on this a TINY bit, showing a scene of Lex injecting himself with...SOMETHING. But because the movie never elaborates on what's going on, unless you read the original story, it's easy to be confused as to why he's randomly having this total freakout toward the end, because that's just not generally how Lex operates. Like I said, it's still a solid adaptation, but drawing out that one element would have definitely elevated the whole thing. At least, that's just MY thinking on it.

While this movie is fun, I prefer the Luthor from the old animated Justice League show. His comment to becoming president was: "Do you have any idea how much power I would have to give up if I became president?" And he is right. Someone like Lex Luthor would have to give up a lot of power if he became president if you think about it.

Which version of Starfire are you going to cosplay as? 60s 70s 80s 90s there’s three different costumes and versions from the 2000s. But for me personally the New 52 movie, the Judas contract costume probably my favorite. And she has two different costumes in that movie. One is more reminiscent of her team, titans anime series. And the other one is what I’m talking about here. And there is a sense of dress up in Injustice 2.
