I believe it would be:
Shazam!, Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman
Supergirl, Green Arrow, The Flash, Hawkman, Plastic Man
Aquaman, Batgirl, Hawkgirl, Robin, Green Lantern
And of course me… I’d be the comic book geek.
Close! You only missed one.
Which one?
The first one is Captain Marvel.
He says “Shazam!” to transform from Billy Batson to Captain Marvel.
I love how Plastic Man is about to trip up The Flash.
Really hate the new Imag…. er… DC universe. I mean how can you make Superman such a brat.
Getting confused in my old age… wasn’t there a TV show called Shazam? I remember watching it on Saturday’s…
There is way too much “re-making” going on with a lot of classics.
You’d think studio types would have stopped after Madonna redid American Pie…
I think Marvel is putting out books that will change Spiderman… ouch.
Both technically right. You see, Captain Marvel is also the name of a character from Hasbro’s Marvel Universe. I believe they have the legal rights to the name. So, Mattel’s DC Universe line refers to him as Shazam! instead.
Well, technically Mattel is wrong (what else is new, huh?). Captain Marvel is the name of the character pictured, Shazam is the wizard that gives him his powers. You are correct about DC not having the rights to the name, which is the reason for most of the confusion. Tons of interesting stuff (interesting if you’re a comic nerd 🙂 that is) about it on the net; the Captain Marvel character dates back to the ’30s!
Don’t even know some of them. the 1st guy who looks like flash,the guy who looks like robin hood, and that hawk guy and hawk girl. ditto. oh, or the stretchy guy.
I want to see the same thing for Cars 1:55 characters.
Oooooh yeah! Ditto.
Cool?
