Shazam! Comic-Con Trailer Reactions: 6 Ups And 1 Down

1. It's Unlike Anything Else We've Seen From DC

Shazam movie
Warner Bros.

With a teenage boy as the protagonist and another as the sidekick, a costume with a glowing yellow lightning bolt on it, and a real focus on humour above all else, it's hard to believe this is even from the same company as the dark Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Justice League.

Tonally it's worlds away from anything else we've seen in this universe, even Wonder Woman, and that's definitely its biggest USP. It's light, funny, charming, and looks like it's going to be immensely enjoyable to watch.
