DC didn't originate Superman. Don juan was called Superman in a play titled Man and Superman in 1903. Ubermench was translated as Superman in 1907 or maybe it was 1909 not sure the exact date. Tarzan was called Superman by Jane in Tarzan of the apes in 1912. Doc Savage was called Superman in 1934, he was also Clark Savage, Jr. had an Fortress of Solitude in the Artic before the later Action comic Superman of 1938 that was also called Clark. Doc Savage was called The man of Bronze and Steel Sterling was called the man of Steel before Action Comics Superman was called man of Steel. So was Superman's man of steel inspired by man of bronze or man of steel either way Action Comics Superman was a copy.

I do worry about the Black Adam movie. Not because it's a DC movie, but because while Shazam is a light hearted take on the superhero movie (which works for it. Black Adam is a more antihero type of character, kind of like a character that would appear in bleaker story lines (like the DC movies people didn't like. I just don't think he should be funny, but people will say oh, DC is getting bleak and humorless again. But that's kinda what Black Adam does. Don't get me wrong I want Black Adam to be awesome, but maybe it can capture the gritty feel of Wonder Woman and keep the heart as well.

As an older fan of the 'Detective'Comics, I'm very familiar with the character'SHAZAM'or'CAPTAIN MARVEL'. My observation of the recent making of the movie'SHAZAM' doesn't reflect the general sentiment of a good to great movie. The movie casts the the main theme out of character of the comic series, and it fails in making the hero credible by making him comical - notice the prosthetics of the actor paying the role of'SHAZAM'. absolutely terrible. This is about as bad as the making of the movie'THE GREEN HORNET'which casted Seth Rogan as the hero. TERRIBLE, VERY TERRIBLE.

Mr.
A fictional mortal adolescent boy with a pure heart transforms into an adult-looking but super powerful champion with super abilities from Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury.
Seriously, this generation's WB media company plus Geoff Johns better give Billy Batson from DC's Earth-0 a DECENT character development and several big moments in the future.

Just doesnt seem right. DC had a Captain Marvel FIRST, regardless of the fact they discontinued it for some year, Marvel should NOT have been allowed to steal the name, particularly since there were already DC Captain Marvel comics out there, should have been considered owned by DC and untouchable as far as Marvel was concerned. Its just theft made legal IMO.

Everyone seems to gloss over the work of artist Pete Constanza, who also drew Captain Marvel for Whiz, America's Best Comics, Marvel Family and Adventures of Captain Marvel. Pete first worked with Beck, until the workload was too much, so he broke off from Beck to open his own shop, where then Pete hired Kurt Schaffenberger to also help out with the workload.

I found it kinda odd how Dr. Savanna (or however you spell it) was considered Shazam's arch-nemesis instead of Black Adam (who could be considered more of an anti-hero) I mean, the dude was just an evil scientist.
Then it hit me, the age-old debate of magic vs science. Idk, just fun fact i guess.

SO. if someone else does the same thing you do, but better, you sue them for all they have.
A logical and intelligent human would instead see what that other one is doing that is better, learn from it, and make it even better again.
But, then again, you humans are not very intelligent or logical.

You didn't mention Marvels black Captain Marvel member of The Avengers an occasional leader Monica rambeau.
Marvel Comics also had a briefly lived character called Captain Hero ( a boy who could transform himself into a Superman of sorts ) who was pretty much a double for Shazam
