10 Most Ironic Scenes In DCEU History

10. Billy Batson Caused The Bus Crash

When Billy was given his Superman-esque powers by the wizard, Shazam, he didn’t exactly act like a hero. This was probably to be expected, as he was just ‘basically’ 15, but even so, with great power and all that. Naturally, Freddy wasn’t happy.

Instead of doing the kind of good his new brother expected him to do in line with his Justice League heroes, the Human Powerstorm tried to make some quick cash by performing for the Philadelphia public. He shot lightning from his hands for money.

Obviously, this was woefully underusing his new-found powers, something that didn’t change until he was forced to save a bus full of innocent civilians from crashing off a bridge and onto the tarmac below. It was a moment of heroism, something which he was immensely proud of and ran straight to Freddy to tell him about, but he didn’t exactly come out of it smelling of roses.

The only reason that bus was ever put in danger was because Billy shot its tyre out with one of his rogue bursts of lightning he was making money off. One of the first acts of heroism he ever did, and it was to save a bunch of people from himself.
