Dan Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Starting its own topic, cuz it seems to be actually happening. Anyhoo, according to EW, Shazam! is being produced by the New Line Cinema imprint at Warners, will not be part of the DCCU as of now, and will be lighter in tone than the "no fun or enjoyment allowed" atmosphere currently hovering over BvS. This, of course, should be obvious, because if Cap isn't fun, you are doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Obviously. You know what though? I hope to all fuck it does better than the DCCU movies so someone realizes, "Maybe people don't want grim and gritty." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I just don't understand why Warners is so embarrassed by their comics properties. "We need to make everything dark and grim and real and street because no one will be able to accept a flying alien who saves kittens from trees and wears glasses that fool everyone." You know what? We bought a ticket to go see a Supeman movie. We probably know what we're in for, thanks. Shazam! is about a ten year old kid who says a magic word and turns into a superhero and has a talking tiger in a suit for a best friend and fights a superintelligent worm and once married Reltih, the Reverse Hitler. It needs to be allowed to be fun, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Oh my God, I totally forgot about the Reverse Hitler. How does a person forget Reverse Hitler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I am still thinking about the tiger in the sweater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to imagine what a grim and gritty version of "Hoppy the Bunny" would be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 So, was the fact that Mr. Talky Tawny and Jimmy Olsen have the same tailor ever addressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Was that ACTUALLY Tawny, or just a time when Jimmy Olsen turned into a tiger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 What a great swerve; Jimmy Olsen was Mr. Talky Tawny all along, thanks to weird old Prof. Potter's Tiger Serum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I guess in the movie she'll be Ms. Tawky Tawny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
