Yea and all deardevils existence amounts to is the killers wearing spiffy costumes and still killing

I have to say, these panels are particularly interesting when you take into consideration that there is an entirely different comic where superman, knowing that Shazam is a child, takes away shazam's ability to speak and beats him to death.

Change the title That's Daredevil

How many criminals in the comics get out of jail and end up killing innocent people? That's the fear right? It would become a 24 hour job to keep tabs on everyone getting out that DD had had a hand in capturing in the first place.

I think Clark should have adopted Billy!

I remember watching the Spider-Man cartoon back in the 90s (I miss saturday morning cartoons), and this episode happened where Peter could warp other heroes over to help. He brought bits of various teams, such as Wolverine and Storm from the X-Men. The only group he brought everyone from was the FF. Pete just had to bring his Favorite Family. Just rambling and reminiscing. Sorry not sorry~

Bruce: So Shazam is really a kid named "Bat-son?" Clark: Don't you have enough Robins?

This only makes the injustice timeline worse

Stories like this are why I love Clark so much and why I get so frustrated wirh people who call Superman boring. It's the hardest thing in the world to try to do the right thing, or even to know what that is. To see someone come into a situation that everyone else has just *accepted* - and he stands and questions it, challenges it... it's so captivating, powerful, and inspiring.

I love the interaction between the Wizard and Superman cause its clear Supes words actually hit deep with the Wizard knowing Shazam needed Superman especially rn for support.

I miss heroes who are genuinely good people down to their very core, and aren’t anti heroes or dark and gritty

Superman DOES confront Shazam, the old wizard, AFTER he discovers Captain Marvel is really a young boy.

injustice superman:

Shazam shows superman he is a minor

Peter and Johnny's friendship has to be one of my favorite in all of Marvel.

I remember watching an episode in Young Justice where they didn't know his real identity. And then some dark magic users split the world into two dimensions, one with adults and one with children and he was the only one that could go between both. Of course Batman knew and apparently Wonder Woman was really unhappy about it after they brought his membership into the Justice League into question

As usual the villain to many stories, American Healthcare system

Y'all be turning Batman into a child labourer with these comments

Why does superman look so disgusted that shazam's best friend is a kid. Does he think something else is going on?

Superman asking "who did this to you?" is the purest distillation of the concept of Tranquil Fury, he is so angry that he's calm. Which is terrifying given what Supes can do when pushed, and the Wizard Shazam having the stones to try and justify his robbing a kid of his childhood... he's truly lucky Superman does NOT think he is a god and should pass down judgment like one. Otherwise, magic or no, Wizard Shazam would quickly understand terms like "relativistic speed" and "explosive decompression". Yeah Superman isn't immune to magic; but that means little when you see lightspeed as a casual exercise pace, and regularly tango with gods of the New and Grecian variety.

"who did this to you?" goes hard

Shazam being Supermans apprentice makes so much sense in so many ways

Saruman the White

"There's a starmaaaaaan living in the skyyy...."

"How can you give these powers to a child!?" Buddy, you've been able to bench press oil tankers since you were 10.

So, ya like gladiator movies, Billy?

Kinda hypocritical when he himself kills him

Not only did Clark imediatly stoped with the scolding. He went to the wizard and was ready to beat him up. That's just how our Clark is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Awww❤❤

And then in a dark future he lobotomizes him

He is only a kid for the first few years after getting his powers. Billy still ages.

I like that Superman asks no more questions to Billy as soon as he sees that he's a child other than "Who did this to you?" He knew that Billy wasn't completely responsible for what he did.

Clark: i can't believe that wizard would give THAT much power and responsibility to an orphaned child! When i was a kid, it was a nightmare dealing my powers and i had both my parents to guide and support me, can't imagine how tough it is for him😔 anyway thanks for listening bruce, got any ideas to help the kid? Bruce: ....... so this ones invincible right?

oddly a plotline I never really thought of, Superman mentoring and psuedo fathering Shazam. I mean their powersets are almost identical and it's in Clark's character.

"Who did this to you?" That line puts everything into perspective

Is this a hired narrator or something? Hear this dude every so often talking about a whole range of things, including droughts.

"My *real* name is Clark." Sure it is, Kal...

I just always thought the original wizard died.

Billy got his powers bestowed upon him because he is worthy

Calm Angry is always scarier than loud angry.

Definitly one of the few times we have seen superman pissed off so badly.

Shocked nah bro was pissed

Supes really said, "Take me to your Principal right now."

Clark tells this to Bruce. Bruce : Huh, A superpowered Robin, I'll take him.

Superman: "You can't just have kids try to be heroes!" 😭 Batman: "How would you like to join me in stopping dangerous crimes with psychopaths, young orphan?" 🗿

trust me you dont want to be spiderman😂

-WIZARD! •How tf did you get here? -The name is Superman, how do you think I got here? •That's a good point.

I thought Shazam was the wizard and Billy Batson is Captain Marvel.

Clark and the Wizard's final exchanges here give off the impression like his opinion of the old man changed a bit. Not total forgiveness, but a certain degree of understanding and just a little bit of common ground they can agree on.

to quote the old meme: kids, don't be like billy. if a man you've never seen before in your life visits your home (especially when it is in a bad neighborhood), tells you straight up he's not with social services, and starts undressing, run! in 99.9% of cases it unfortunately isn't superman revealing his iconic symbol to show you he's there to try and help you through your trauma. quiet the opposite, actually.
