- He’s one of the world’s most iconic superheroes, his influence can be seen across the entire comic book industry, and he is the embodiment of total wish fulfillment.
Over the years, he has been known by many names but today he is simply known as.... SHAZAM! From his first appearance in Whiz Comics #2… to his battles with Superman (in both the comic book panels and the courtroom)… to a rebirth as one of DC’s premier heroes… to his blockbuster movie in 2019, this documentary brings together the original artists, comic book luminaries, and big screen stars to show how Shazam has brought his childlike spirit, his powerful magic, and his inherent goodness - not to mention his powerful family members - to capture the imaginations of audiences and become a pop culture icon.
Say The Magic Word... Shazam!

Ah yes the TRUE Captain Marvel,SHAZAM!
The Shazam/Superman rivalry back in the day was crazy. He almost resembled Superman in someway. I think the later incarnations with the introduction of Tawky Tawny really got me interested in the Captain Marvel mythology. Then the children of Shazam shows the universe was expanding for Captain Marvel. To me the 23 minute short with Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black I always hear Arnold Vosloo's voice when I read Black Adam comics.
The real and only Captain Marvel.
Billy Batson is the one true Captain Marvel.
Ah yes, the TRUE Captain Marvel.
The one and only
I still call him that.
@@lightheart5 Me too
He will always be Captain Marvel to me. I don’t like the way DC keeps changing him; I would rather read the old Fawcett stories any day.
@nickwilson5774 The real Marvel Captain Marvel is Mar-vell, not Carol,
I have recently been clearing out my parents' attic and I found my old Shazam comics that I put there for safekeeping in around 1977 (including the issue at 32:02). I remember reading them over and over and am glad I can now read them again for the first time in 45 years.
Fun fact. Instead of the Shazam acronym being:
Solomon: Wisdom
Hercules: Strength
Atlas: Stamina
Zeus: *Power*
Achilles: Bravery
Mercury: Speed
It was originally going to be:
Solomon: Wisdom
Hercules: strength
Atlas: Stamina
Zeus: *Lightning*
Achilles: Bravery
Mercury:Speed
But they wanted him to have the ability to fly and be super durable so they replaced the lightning of Zeus with the power of Zeus which is mostly the lightning but also Durability and Flight.
Fun fact: Superman is a rip off of Gladiator by Philip Wylie. Google "superman inspiration gladiator by Philip Wylie" . Exact same powers as superman but gladiator came out 8 years before superman.
Hmmm...where did you get this info? Captain Marvel could not fly, only jump when he furst came out, just like Superman. Though his first actual "flight" came before Superman's, it was not one of his original powers.
I will never get used to him not being called Captain Marvel.
@@Flyboy1953 Huge fan of Mark Waid and Dan Mora's runs right now. Both World's Finest and Shazam are doing great.
@@Flyboy1953 yeah Waid’s also acknowledged how Billy and the Captain were in World’s Finest when that would’ve been roughly 10 years before the present of the current timeline. He’s hinted at time travel since the Rock of Eternity exists outside of time and space but I hope we get a story that covers it. Looking forward to see more classic stuff restored.
No matter what age you are this is the character you know no matter what.
Captain Marvel's greatest power is with just one word
⚡⚡SHAZAM⚡⚡
He turns into a kid.
I wish i could do that.
I'm 47. And I still calling Captain Mavel.
Ye people do still call him both
Awesome been a fan of Captain Marvel since Justice League Unlimited episode clash
The Clash episode was so good.. Especially the way it set up The entire Cadmus arc..Shazam deserved more appearances in JLU
@@whysosnappy8016 I loved that he was voiced by Vern from Stand By Me
@@K1ng1995 Jerry O'Connell played Captain Marvel (Shazam)? That's amazing, because I think as an adult, he looks a lot like Fred MacMurray, the actor upon whom Captain Marvel's physical appearance was originally based.
Love Shazam/ Captain Marvel, glad he's making a comeback in pop thanks to the movie, cant wait to see what Johns has got in store for him
This was absolutely awesome. Thanks a lot guys!! Shazam has a ton of heart, it's one story worth telling for many generations
The REAL Captain Marvel!!!!
SHAZAM or Captain Marvel (the original one) he is the hero we relate to.
The Original Captain Marvel
I've been in love with Captain Marvel since my childhood, reading the oversized Treasury Editions from the 70's and bits and pieces from the underrated "Adventures In The DC Universe" comic by Steve Vance. Would really like to see DC re-release the original comics from Fawcett in those Golden/Silver/Bronze Age Omnibus', but it probably won't ever happen
Some of them have been released in DC Archive Editions.
Another thing about Shazam, aside from inexperience, he has no physical weaknesses.
My favorite superhero
Shazam! For injustice 3
I hope so but he is not coming back cz he is dead...Ig Lobo is coming back tho
Yes
YEEEEEEEEEES
Shazam died during Injustice 1....
Pratip Bhowmick so this is comic books were talking about also joker was dead and he was in injustice 2 and Shazam could also be a dlc character
Love these documentaries, keep them coming.
SHAZAM ! ⚡️
The one and only CAPTAIN MARVEL.
Absolutely the greatest documentary about the greatest Superhero. Whether you call him Shazam or Captain Marvel, he fulfilled a kids idea of being more than just a kid. He was the first hero I read about as a boy and I read about him today. Amazing.
My 4th favorite DC superhero! He's just so relatable and cool! Can't wait for Shazam Fury of the Gods! Been a fan of Shazam/Captain Marvel since Jeff Smith's Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil!
*Spider-Man:* SHAZAM!!!!
*Captain Sparklefingers:* _I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye._
DC Spotlight: Captain Sparklefingers | Say the Magic Word
HAHAHAHAHA
Shazam's origin story is still one of the best in fiction, because not only is his story (billy batson) interesting but the origin story of his villain (teth-adam) is just as good, and the dynamic works together so well between the 2!!
My all time favourite comic book character.
Still not completely comfortable calling him Shazam. Would have almost preferred if they called him Captain Thunder like in his first trial clash with superman and in Flashpoint.
Just a thought
Roy Thomas trademarked that name with his comic book "Captain Thunder and Blue bolt."
@@CaptainMarvelCulture dang it.
I didn't know that. That it explains it then
My top favorite superhero is Superman, but I must say that Captain Marvel is also one of my favorite DC heroes too. He's just so cool and fun.
Ah yes the real Captain Marvel
YOU NEED TO MAKE MORE OF THESE! I LOVED THIS SO MUCH! PLEASE DO A SUPERMAN OR BATMAN ONE!
It's 12.24 am in the middle of the night in indonesia, i can't sleep and i got notifications new video uploaded by DC and i watch it 👀 i love shazam! Watch it on theater 3 times
Wah ada orang Indo
@@rinharter7758 😂
Hehe you sound like me. I was a HUGE fan of Shazam's live action show as a kid. I watched Shazam twice back to back on its opening night here in Germany. LOVE when Freddy gets to fly and float. Fantastic when the whole family gets shazamed ❤️😊
Anyone else here after reading Shazam! Lighting Strikes? Just me? Ok...
The original Captain Marvel will always be my favorite superhero ever. Say the word with me people SHAZAM! 👦 ⚡️👨
DC should of renamed Billy Batson's alter-ego Captain Marvel's name to "Captain Marvelous" instead of "Shazam". Shazam is the name of the wizard who passed on his powers to Billy Batson. Back when Billy Batson was with Fawcett Comics, Bill Parker and C.C. Beck, Billy's alter-ego was going to be called "Captain Thunder", but there was already a character with that name. So Captain Thunder (Billy Batson) was renamed "Captain Marvelous", but there was no room for the name "Captain Marvelous" anywhere on the covers of the comic books and inside of the comic books so Captain Marvelous was renamed "Captain Marvel". That's how the original Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) got his Captain Marvel name. Fun fact: the name "Captain Marvelous" was never copyrighted and trademarked, so I think it's time for DC to finally rename Billy Batson's alter-ego one last time. I don't agree with "Shazam" being Billy's superhero name because when Billy says Shazam's name, he transforms back and forth. If you ever watched an episode of Teen Titans Go!, Billy Batson/Shazam makes an appearance and when he was going to introduce himself to the Teen Titans, Raven of the Titans asked Billy/Shazam "What was your name again?" and Billy/Shazam said "Billy Batson." and Cyborg of the Titans said "No, the other name. Shizzle-whizzle-what, now?" and Billy/Shazam said "Oh. SHAZAM!". Saying "Shazam" as Billy's superhero name caused Billy to change back to normal Billy and Beast Boy of the Titans got confused and said "Cool! He (Billy Batson/Shazam) can turn back and forth by saying his name!". So, like I said, DC should have renamed Billy's alter-ego from "Captain Marvel" to "Captain Marvelous" because "Captain Marvelous" was the name that Billy Batson (AKA Captain Marvel/Shazam) never got to use back when he used to be with Parker, Beck and Fawcett.
The real Capitan Marvel
My absolute 2nd favorite DC character ever!
Right now, currently in the comics he is being written by Mark Waid (Daredevil, Fantastic Four, The Flash, & Kingdom Come)!
The only Captain Marvel...SHAZAM!!!!!
I had a passing interest in CM, but after Waid's Kingdom Come, he became my favorite DC character.
Shazam! Captain marvel is one of the best characters and his family billy baston captain marvel Mary marvel and captain marvel jr and the rest of his family are fantastic and tons of fun.
DC rebirth still sucks
Emo guy horror story oh for the love of this has nothing to do with dc rebirth
@@TevyaSmolka everyone needs to know how awful DC rebirth is
Emo guy horror story you know what fine go for it I won’t stop you because at the end of the day we all have our own opinions
SaVe MaRtHa
Captain Marvel! 1941 shorts was really pretty good.
Me encantó. Mi papá me dijo una vez que veía su serie de TV y que cuando supo que habría una nueva película, estaba muy emocionado por verla
Didn’t know Shazam came out soooo long ago. Wow
The first AND the best Captain Marvel
Black Adam was the Sinestro to Cap's GL... or, the other way around... ;-)
Not gonna lie, I waited until they were both in the theater at the same time. I watched SHAZAM!, then Captain Marvel and then SHAZAM! 3-D.
And to prove my love for ALL things Captain Marvel I will mention that I noticed there was a crew member on SHAZAM! (and I kid you not) named Rick Jones. He's deep in the credits but he's there. 2nd unit driver I think. What else would Rick be qualified for? Dude's basically a drifter. Wonder if he escaped back to the Marvel Universe?
I NOTICED THAT TOO! i think DC and Marvel keep missing a great opportunity in every cross-over by not having Billy Batson interview Rick Jones about his music career, and then having some crisis pop up, both of them excuse themselves, both of them transform into their respective Captain Marvels, who then have a team-up!
Definitely the original captain Marvel , i wonder how Marvel comics cheated and took over the name deceptively
Simple. Nobody trademarked the name and marvel saw an opportunity
DC let the trademark lapse in the early sixties when they didn't do anything with it so Marvel Comics jumped on it.
@@radicalraddish6292 i agree
I remembered Marvel did Captain Mar-vel when the original Captain Marvel came out decades ago and also Marvel's Captain Marvel was a woman-heroine in their new 52
@@kylebernard530 shhhhhh
love how the first twenty minutes of this is just "capt. marvel is somehow still alive, no one knows how, or why, or what he's even doing, but somehow he's getting away with it"
Mark Strong did a terrific job as Dr. Silvana.
Literally everyone in the comments: The Original Captain Marvel!
Me: Just enjoying the video
Well, that's quite a coincidence. I've spent the past two days reading a lot of Shazam/Captain Marvel comics, and then DC published this video. So, maybe they will post a video about Aquaman if I read a lot of Aquaman comics next weekend.
Read some Flash comics hehe
"SHAZAM!" - Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors)...
Black Adam can make Thanos feel extinct and dusty like Barney the Dinosaur.
NOT SHAZAM, CAPTAIN MARVEL, PERIOD!🤨🤨🤨
Exactly he has only one name; Captain Marvel!
I call him Shazam.
Legally their not allowed to say that
@@__-lh8lb Yes they are. Just not on the cover
Shazam is better, period!
When I was a kid I was like “Superman put on The Flash’s costume?”
They changed his name because Marvel has the copyright to it. I don't remember folks thinking his name was Shazam. Personally I hated him taking the name of the wizard. Before he was Captain Marvel they considered Captain Thunder. I believe that name was used in Flashpoint.
It’s Captain Marvel. Shazam is the wizard and the word.
Cap has always been my second fav character just a hair second to Supes. Glad to see Jerry Ordway in this, his Power of Shazam trade and series was huge for a fan like me!!! Great video!
Next we want DC Spotlight: WONDER WOMAN. Please.
Sparklefingles: ready 4 dinner?
I just loved the movie of "SHAZAM". The story and every moment was very unique..
and some very heart touching moments came out.. which is great ..
The story also teaches us about humanity.. to make the harmony ..
Loved Fury of the Gods! These hour-long superhero documentaries are amazing. I pray that one day, in the far future, #WonderWoman will be given "this" much attention, and not just a "pandering-to-females" type of documentary, something that's watchable for the general public, including standard males (like many of the guys in this video).
I'd like to believe there's still some glimmer of hope in the far future of humanity . . . maybe.
I love this
The Monster Society of Evil kind of like the Injustice Society for the Shazam Universe. The sequel for sure we will get to see more of that and the other worldly universes of Shazam. It will be nice to see the Shazam and his children take on the Monster society of Evil.
21:30-22:30 so if Dr. Sivana is Captain Marvel's Lex Luthor, then Mr.Mind is his Brainiac; and evil alien with plans of conquest
Amazing look into the history of Captain marvel. But you really dont understand that Billy is captain marvel by your own comic law he can't even call himself shazam. He is the world's mightiest mortal. He is captain Marvel
In the New 52 he relly has to want to change when he says the magic word in order to change, like the light bulb in the psychiatrist's office.
my hero since I was a kid. I have a lot of issues. ty DC comics for picking him up. though the lawsuit makes me mad to this very day.
Best heroe!!
I thought of a new name for Shazam! What do you think of the name "Captain Volt"?
Grande! DC, Me encantan tus personajes como las historias que narran en los cómics, es simplemente espectacular el trabajo que han realizado, sigue creciendo :D
Captain Marvel
I Liked The Shazam! Movie I Did Not See The Second One Yet Although I Wish They would at Least Added The 70s Theme Song In The Movie Track somewhere
Please please please do more!!!
Can you do next the Doom Patrol or the Justice Society 🙏
How come you never made any more DC Spotlight installments? I REALLY want a Wonder Woman episode.
40th Anniversary of Shazam (1980-2020)
*80th
Hmmmm...they left out a lot between the settlement of the Fawcett-DC case and the DC revival. I understand that this is a DC production, but the story of the trademark is a lot more complicated than they made it sound. It involve Myron Fass and the "Captain Marvel" comic book he put out in 1966, the MArvel comics character created in 1967, and a lawsuit brought forth by Fass against Marvel that ultimately secured the trademark for Marvel.
They also did not mention any names regarding who at DC actually came up with the idea of bringing back the Big Red Cheese. Carmine Infantino, publisher of DC at the time, said it was his idea, but Mark Evanier insists that it was part of a plan Jack Kirby had to revive various older characters.
Incidentally, Infantino also claimed that he designed the Silver Age Flash's costume after the original Captain Marvel, which is why the so often get confused for each other.
Wow ! What a GREAT documentary! So glad we have Shazam back. He'll always be my Captain Marvel. And man, Marvel, you GOTTA fire Brie and the writers of that awful movie that should never have happened.
Great documentary.
I was there, in 1972.
Ele é Bom demais
Next slide after fastest slides that America is super insanely 😅 POP! Neck by Neck sureality Magic Milis!
I am big world's of DC & WB fan

I don’t care they took his name away. He’s still Captain Marvel to me.

I will still call him CAPTAIN MARVEL . Yep, freedom of speech.

it is even more fun saying Captain Marvel. DC should stick the title "The Original Captain Marvel"
Justice league animated shows and Justice league War animated movie made Go deep about Captain Marvel and The rest of The Justice society! ⚡💥
Just seeing that character made my day!❤
Captain Marvel!
I still call this character Captain Marvel
I've been Captain Marvel fan since a kid. Pity how WB portrayed Captain Marvel in the movies. The World's Mightiest Mortal isn't always ridiculously goofy. And not a fan of the New52 version and a too many family members sharing powers.
Yes, yes, and yes again. Me and Captain EveryPower couldn't agree more. Just call Caption Marvel Jr. him now, I suppose.
Please do black adam I want here more about the mighty adam because i here that he is so so so powerful that he could take on shazam and superman at the same time 💪💪⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥🔥
Yessss Chuck & Sarah. #Chuck #ChukTVshow
like I said instead of video game developers struggling to make a overpowered superman/supergirl video game they should just make a easier second rate superman game aka a Shazam Family Video Game that is sorta similar to the first Shazam Dceu movie.
Shazam is my favorite DC superhero character.
they just say in the same year as captain marvel,man,dont even compare that.SHAZAM is original captain marvel,the movie is beautiful,the cat is perfect,I have seen it like 7 times
