Stephan Bender (Young Clark Kent) from Superman Returns.

Cameron Bright would have been a sweet choice for young Batson, I'm afraid he's becoming too old for the role.![]()
A new pic for you manipers to play with.t:

t: That kid is a terrible actor. He gets all these roles, but in each one he's so wooden. I dont understand it.
Where the Hell is Doctor Sivana?
Being as how we pretty much know absolutely nothing about the script so far, isn't it a bit too early to be asking this?
There's a recent article on Cracked.com about superhero movies that they figure are likely to trainwreck: http://www.cracked.com/article_15679_5-upcoming-comic-book-movies-that-must-be-stopped.html
Now please keep in mind that it's just for yuks, and as a fan of these movies being made, I would like to one day see all five that they listed. But with the Shazam! movie, they make some excellent points about the origin needing to be heavily reworked.
Captain Marvel was essentially the generic brand Superman. The editors at DC needed another success like Superman, and decided to ape Captain Marvel nearly exactly. Captain Marvel is to Superman what GoBots are to Transformers, what Power Rangers are to Voltron, or what Cracked magazine is to MAD magazine. They just took Superman, dressed him in your grandfather's pajamas, paid a sexual deviant to write his back story and watched the cash roll in.

That right there, the main reason why Captain Marvel comic books suck.


And yet Batman upstages Superman all the time. It's not fair, really.That right there, the main reason why Captain Marvel comic books suck.
DC and WB / New Line should rework Captain Marvel as a whole and allow Dwayne Johnson to don the red tights with the lighting bolt.
Captain Marvel is NO SECOND RATE / SECOND TIER SUPERHERO!
Johnson would Sooooo own the role and smash the Box Office.
Captain Marvel and the franchise of SHAZAM could and would do Transformer like number$ with The Rock as Cap.
Sadly the above quote is very much correct, due to the fact.
DC will never allow Captain Marvel to upstage Superman in any fashion on any medium.![]()

Exclusive: Peter Segal's Shazam Gets a New Title!
Peter Segal reveals exclusively to the IESB that his big screen adaptation of D.C. Comics' Shazam will have a much longer title.
Our roving reporter Silas Lesnick just finished talking to Peter Segal who gives a brief update on Shazam. Now that the WGA strike is over John August is doing some re-writes and that they are looking to call the film "Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam." Nifty title me thinks.
No word on who will be playing Shazam but he is quite happy with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Black Adam.
Stay tuned to the IESB as we will be posting our complete interviews with the cast of Get Smart later today including Anne hathaway, Steve Carell and director Peter Segal.
What's wrong with just calling it...Shazam?!http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4376&Itemid=99
Can't say much except....I think the new title sucks.
