The first proper trailer for Black Adam is out and... wow! This looks badass, but the tone is so different I can't imagine this mixing up with Shazam...
Also, I can't wait to see the JSA in a feature film! Awesome! And this Doctor Fate casting was inspired!
Not a lot of great funny April's Fool, this year. At least I haven't seen any remarkable ones.
Aside from...
A fun SHAZAM! teaser trolling AQUAMAN fans:
A fanmade fake Splatoon spinoff. A great well-made "Splatoon Island" DLC campaign, that had so much work put into it it actually seems realistic. Fantastically put together by Mike Inel:
I'd buy that!
And the Tekken team announcing a fake new DLC, HARADA himself!!!
A new champion is about to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament! By popular demand, #TEKKEN 7’s very own Director @Harada_TEKKEN will step into the ring for some epic showdowns. Can you guess who he will side with in the war to settle the Mishima feud?
I know this is supposedly a fun goofy joke... but I could totally see this as real DLC. I'm sure fans (myself included) would love it. And, hey, it's not a goofier guest than, say, Negan or Noctis!
You win this year Tekken. And I only find the fan-made Splatoon one better by a small margin because the Tekken crew didn't make a video and just some fake screenshots.
Weirdly enough, Shazam! been looking pretty good. And I'm a fan of the pre-New 52 Captain Marvel (Shazam), before they messed it all up, and no DC film's even been that great in my eyes.
Warner Bros. showed us where the DC Entertainment Universe's heading off. And you know what? Things are looking far better than last year.
First up Aquaman looks dope! Like Man of Steel, Batman V Superman and JLA should have been. Action-packed. Colorful but serious. In one word: epic!
I knew James Wan could pull off a better DC Comics-inspired movie. Look at BLACK MANTA!!!!!
But then they showed a funny, epic, hilarious and fantastic take on SHAZAM! It's silly, goofy but also adventurous and self-aware. That's how you do it!!
I didn't believe in Zachary Levi and director David F. Sandberg at first (yet another horror director, like Wan!) But they did it!! NICE WORK! Alright I finally wanna watch DC films on the big screen.
The director of the upcoming Shazam feel decided to embrace the meme, and gave us this much-anticipated preview of the upcoming Shazam live action film:
So DC will be releasing DC Showcase Animated Original Shorts on DVD & Bluray on November 9, 2010.
I'm still not really sure I'll be interested in buyin' this one.
Sure, I love Captain Marvel and the rest of the Shazam characters but this still is a compilation of only 3 shorts + one exclusive other one.
The main feature will be this Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam short. A 22 minutes short, making it the longer DC Showcase yet.
