💀 bro

razam: the boy wonder

And an orphan?

Billy batson robin would just be the sidekick from “guardians of justice” that acid trip of a series on netflix

Batman probably already knew, and didn't say anything because it wasn't his business.

That mf not even hesitant 😂

Exactly. Big blue was PISSED.

He is not weak to magic he is not immune to it like us humans we have no protection to magic

​@@abdalla33moha58so a weakness, for a superhero weaknesses means things that can stop a superhero right? Well guess what most of their weaknesses can stop us normal weak humans if we lived in their world. Kryptonite can just stabby stabby us, magic can destroy us, fire can burn us.

@@lightningjadejavier something like that

@@lightningjadejavier bro agreed with extra steps

Ha Louis and clark

That.... is a really good point and kind of an ironic one if you think about: Shazam, once upon a time out sold Superman. I like that idea God damnit.

Ngl, Clark becoming Billy’s adoptive dad would be pretty nice.

depends on what comic. In most billy's uncle is trying his best for him. even tho he can't be there for him most of the time.

Bros got his hands full with those offshoot kryptonian kids and Jon's Angsty gay ahh he doesn't need any more kids😭😭😭

bro was asking for names so he knows who he should tear limb from limb

@@akramnasralla750calm down buddy, Superman is a cornball

@@SaulFavela-ld8kt until he's not

Lol Superman instantly put 2 and 2 together and immediately wanted all the smoke for whoever essentially ruined a kid's childhood.

Agree, with this superhero deconstruction trend people tend to forget that Superman is the ultimate good guy.

​@@Hektols Boy scout supes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>whatever the heck most writers have been doing with him the last years

average insightful comment from somebody with a lewd profile picture

Especially since technically the wizard could "deal" with superman. Superman weak to magic.. in fact has zero resistances to magic. sure he can heal fast from the damage but he can be magically imprisoned. and even as fast as superman is... if the wizard snaps his fingers and dumps superman at the edge of the universe... at the leading edge of time and space... it would take superman.... millennia to get home.

It does feel a bit like superman knocking in the door of the comic writer and demanding to know why he's writing such awful things happening to the poor kid.

To be fair, he can literally call upon the powers of the gods if he was in danger

in the og comics, billy just straight up follows this stranger to the train station 😭 bro is too trusting

@@CWinteruu since hes a super hero in his mindset hes probably only staying to ensure if the dude is dangerous and stop hm personally if he was

@@brandonwithnell612 no, i mean that as in he got his Captain Marvel powers by following this random dude to the train station 😭 he follows this guy and then he got onto the train to the Rock of Eternity and the wizard goes "Welcome, Billy Batson." and granted him the powers of Shazam

😭😭That’s hilarious, and I love that you called him supes 😂

@@ShaquilleOatmeal842 your username is hilarious. It was an instant pun.

@@ThisDudeMoe thank you 😂😂♥

One of the gifts given to Captain Marvel was the Wisdom of Soloman. God I hate that they renamed the character.

Clark: I got dibs

It’s a well-established fact amongst me & my siblings that it’s not when mom’s yelling that you want to be scared, it’s when she’s *not* yelling, because that means you’ve pissed her off enough that she’s about to throw hands. Happens very rarely, but it’s still scary when it does. 😅

The comic this clip comes from is called Superman/Captain Marvel: First Thunder. The comic shows a lot more of Superman’s confrontation with Shazam than what this clip covered.

Superman can't go at lightspeed. The Flash is faster than Superman.

@@bethanymiddleton5758 I'm fairly certain Superman has exceeded lightspeed in the past. Which means he can do it whenever, but just doesn't. Could be wrong, but I do acknowledge Flash is faster (guy was faster than instant teleportation)

@@bethanymiddleton5758 Superman can exceed the speed of light. But yes, Flash is indeed faster.

It's almost like every single face was drawn by different people and none of them agreed in how he should look. But by all means, that doesn't diminish the story.

It looks like they used real references for faces like the old animated movies.

@@adarshsaseendran2199Ohhh, that's actually really interesting

Robins are properly trained and Bruce ain't reckless he doesn't even send them on missions til they are ready both mentally and physically, more of all they are not bound by responsibility like Billy Batson. Now if you say Jason's death here then that will explain you never read any comics because Jason Todd's death was voted by the fans themselves there were 2 options either Batman saves him or he dies at the hands of Joker, the fans chose DEATH

@@Faster_than_light_yo "Bruce doesn't even send them on missions till they're ready" You can be 100% ready and still be shot in the head.

​@@allforone3427 Still better than going in without it, and also he's there most of the time when they're starting out

Because Bruce actually looks after the kids he takes in. He makes them his legal wards, lets them stay in his house, allows them to attend school and he's around to guide them. Alfred is also there to act as support. The Wizard bestowed Billy with his powers and then left him to his own devices. A child shouldn't be given that much power without some form of training or guidance, especially when said child is an orphan who's living on the streets to survive. Billy was also acting as a hero by himself until the rest of Marvel Family got their powers later on.

@@ridley7498 I feel like that's changing the problem from "He's just a kid" to "He's untrained" like Superman's problem isn't that he's inexperienced, his problem with it is that he's like 10 and shouldn't be doing this period. Even if the wizard gave Billy all the training in the world I don't think he'd Magically be fine with it if this happened again. His whole point is that this shouldn't be his problem, not that he's not ready for it.

You cant expect a 12 year old, or however old he is here, to behave like an experienced adult who grew with his powers naturally. Superman knew that and realized what the real source of the problem was.

until the next DC universe reboot.

@@fangorn23 Thats true, he does keep getting reset to childhood...

Yeah but its still crazy. Because its not even just powers, his empowerment literally changes him mentally and emotionally by granting him wisdom that his kid brain struggles to process at times. It must be like constantly having an adult whispering in your ear telling you what is and is not a good idea. And despite HAVING that wisdom, he is still a freaking KID. With all sorts of emotional and mental issues that being a foster kid at that age can bring. So no, he doesnt always listen to that voice. And it probably means he feels 10x worse when he screws up because he had the right answer being in his head the whole time and chose something else because his teenage mind couldnt rationalize the right choice in the heat of the moment. I can kinda relate. I have adhd and when I was a kid, i was on meds to help control it. While on the meds i could feel myself losing control when something was going wrong and I was about to snap. I had that voice telling me to chill out and take a breath or do something different and at times it was SO HARD to listen and I often felt like garbage afterwards when i didnt and got into way more trouble than I would have if I had listened to that inner voice. Honestly, when done properly, the entire idea of shazaam as billy batson is so interesting and so much can be done with it that he is a fascinating character.

Billy has been around since the 1940s. Except in Kingdom Come, he has never aged. The comics dance around this a lot, but he has never aged.

then you don't understand the narrative Batman has shown, Bruce and all of his disciples were people who were forced to be mature at a very young age, all of them share the same trauma. Bruce knowing all that did a very good job at mentoring them, there was an alternate storyline that showed what would happen if they never met Batman, at the end all of them ended up having a very fuc..ked up life without him and Batman also grew more broodier without them. My comment just barely scratches the surface of a very interesting and well written story of Batman, so if u wanna look into it just read the comics

@@Faster_than_light_yo the comment below this also explains more than that. He canbe 100% certain they're ready to do something but joket literally states, it just takes one bad day to ruin it all. Jason todd best example

There is a deep irony is Superman asking that considering the entire premise of his character.

@@HeartlessDragon25 Did you even know Jason Todd's death happened because of the fans and not because of Batman. DC did a poll back in 1988 on if they want to let him live or die? the fans chose to kill Jason Todd.. and it became an official canon storyline

@@MonochromaticPrism What do you mean by Deep Irony? Superman is THE one and only person who would stand up against something like this because he knows being invulnerable means nothing when you have the heart and mind of an everyday human who cares for others more than he does for himself more of all he was angry because a kid shouldn't have the responsibility to save the world, he should have life of a teenager, he should worry about school tests not how to make the world a better place

Sure, but that wasn't something given to him, it's just the way his body works. Besides, I feel like that's all the more reason for Clark to be upset another child has to have the responsibility of superpowers.

Not in modern continuity. His powers developed slowly as he absorbed solar radiation.

@@cirrustate8674 Still, wasn't given to him, he was born that way and grew powers under the sun. Shazam was given the powers and forced into an adult role. Not just the powers, but the adult consequences on a child.

@@Fang1st yes, true.

tbf. besides the fact that becoming a robin is a taxing and dangerous job for any kid. the benefits it gets you do set you up for life. you become the adopted son of a multi-billionaire with the best butler possible as a secondary father figure. get top notch education and medical treatment . and get to have a semi-normal life outside crime fighting. even allowing pets in some continuities.

Well, the thing is that Solomon's mistakes outnumber his wise decisions.

In the words of Aquaman in s1 ep22 of Young Justice: ‘Wisdom does not equate with maturity’

With the way it works it's basically a glorified google search. It knows everything, but won't tell you if you don't think to ask.

or its one of those "the character is as smart as the writer" but in this case, its wisdom

@@javelin1423 That or the writers don't know or care about the source material.

Its more cool if you show the superman "S"

why the fuck would you feel the need to make this scene so weird by pointing that out? please keep that kind of shit inside of your mind, thanks

😂😂😂

This is the nitpickiest nitpick I've ever seen.

Your just weird dude

Ai

@@chikihando2483 Are you sure? Got a source. Sounds way too good.

​@@CameronKiesser voice synthesizers has been around for decades.. the most popular example of them is Vocaloid.. integration of AI has greatly improve it to a point that it's almost natural speech...

@@willowravencroft I still doubt that this voice is AI. Sounds too good and I've heard it before ElevenLabs started taking off. But if it is... Another spooky step in not being able to tell.

​@@CameronKiesser You can pretty easily tell it's AI given how off the tone is at times, and how it'll put emphasis on words that don't need it, or not have any emphasis on words that would benefit from it

He knew it was... _weird_.

How would you react if a guy at least in his mid-twenties told you earnestly his best friend is a child? That does seem a bit odd, doesn't it?

He didn’t know billy was a child and 100% assumed the worse when he said that

@@JohnWall-lj1mx I dunno about assumed the worst, but definitely suspected something was up.

Apparently his glasses are specially made for people to not being able to notice the resemblance, it would have been enough by taking them off

It's the running theme of Superman, A normal person can be the greatest of superheroes sorta thing. Of course it's memed to hell nowadays, and yes, a Perry the Platypus moment indeed, just without Doofenshmirtz to make it funny.

"Wisdom doesn't equate to maturity" Aquaman, Young Justice

Even solomon himself did many mistakes in his later life Wisdom do not equate to maturity

You do realize that he just stole the comic and is not the author?

@@MrQuest0 Why would I think he wrote it? To me it’s very obvious he didn’t.

It’s not the only time.

Superman/Shazam: First Thunder Issue 4

Yes, and no. ORIGINALLY, Billy was Captain Marvel, but due to Marvel also having a Captain Marvel, and it making sense for the company Marvel to have a Captain Marvel, they eventually stopped calling Billy that and started calling him Shazam, even though the DC Captain Marvel predates Marvel Captain Marvel. So, now there is Shazam and the Wizard Shazam.

@@Jeezes718 But the current 'captain' in Marvel was called 'Miss Marvel'

@@BeeWaifu There have been 6 Captain Marvel's in Marvel over the years.

@@Jeezes718 I know of the kree Captain Mahr Vel and Miss Marvel. Thanks to Earth's Mightiest Heroes (the only Avengers cartoon that exists).

@BeeWaifu Mar-vell was the first. When Monica Rambeau got her powers, the news called her Captain Marvel because of how similar her powers were to Mar-vell, but eventually, she decided to stop using the name as she had no connection to Mar-vell. For a time, Mar-vells son called himself Captain Marvel but then stopped because he felt he was just copying his dad. Then his daughter did the same. Then, a different kree invaded Earth and was persuaded by the Avengers to become the new Captain Marvel. Then, after decades, Carol Danvers took up the name Captain Marvel.

Injustice is garbage.

No

Even when exposed to the Lasso of Truth, he says his name is Clark Kent. Birth name does not equal real name.

Thankfully that's not main superman. Main Superman would rather die then later any harm come to children and younger members of the league/titans

@@Doctor_PickneyDidn’t stop Injustice with Shazam.

@@infinityheart_tm9270Y’all just never shut up about Injustice Superman.

Well, I would assume that under the age of 18 children shouldn't be forced into baring ungodly strength and putting their loved ones at risk, or losing them because criminals want to hurt you. This 'imaginary line' shouldn't be too skeptical when a 12 year old loses his best friend dying in his arms while struggling to keep his emotions in check, lol.
