You see this... this is Supes.

Holy shit right in the feels.

That moment of silent rage before asking "who did this to you" sends chills down my spine.

Clark is the real person, Superman is the Mask. Batman is the real person, Bruce is the mask. This is the integral difference missed.
RaymondJCanterJr
"who did this to you?" - ugh. so deep, so much said in so few words.
kojenk
especially as a follow up to "maybe its too dangerous to be Billy anymore"
mmmhfattening
This has more heart and emotion and is more relatable than anything superman in cinema lately put together.

So... Saruman gave birth to Shazam...

Now if only Zack Snyder had seen this

Sa... Saruman?

Comic is Superman/Shazam: First Thunder. It's a miniseries for anyone curious to read more

I was wondering when this edit was gonna show up!

From Billy's perspective, he's just some random dude who starts undressing in his house...
MichaelZWilliamson
Eh, he's probably used to that, and he knows how to respond.
TropicalB3ach
for like 2 seconds, and he has powers, I don't think he's concerned about some guy
StanielRonathan
By this point Billy's been palling around with Superman for 4 books now, so it really only takes a second for him to see the S and get it
IgeGallardo
Hahaha that WAS kinda disturbing
Malloth
After Man of Steel, it's nice to see Superman not be a fucking idiot.
kojenk
The look on Supes face when billy says its too dangerous for his civilian identity and he remembers the weight all superheroes must bear 1/2
kojenk
and see's a young child having to suffer from it and face the terrible consequences of it already. Something he faces every day himself.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
It's clear Shazam didn't want this for Billy either. But, life doesn't work out the way you want it. No matter how old you are.
TriggeredPrivilege
So Clark Kent is actually Superman?! FUCKING SPOILERS MAN!!

Dude's the oldest and most powerful living wizard on a magic rock. Superman's 2 weaknesses are space rocks and magic. What's he gonna do?
mrdude88
Just because Superman can get hurt by magic doesn't mean he's weak to it. It would be like saying he's weak to Darkseid's punch.
TurtleHurdle
Well sure but it hurts him especially more than if someone were to just punch him
gwiz665
Most things have a weakness to Darkseid's punch. :D
StanielRonathan
I think it's fair to treat his significant vulnerability to it as a weakness- it's just a weakness tons of others have.
StanielRonathan
Generally anybody who isn't magic based has zero defense against magic themselves- it's not just a Superman thing. Magic to deal with magic
fx114
Magic must defeat magic!
wannabeblue
I didn't know sups weakness was rocks, just krypton.

Kryptonite comes in several different variants, like gold Kryptonite takes his powers away forver

Supes is a farmboy. I don't think he'd have a bodybuilder's build but more like a farmhand build: Muscular but not as define
SeriousSeamstress
technically he would be a skinny dude since he's so strong he couldn't exercise his muscles enough to look like a bodybuilder.
DalekKal
I always assumed he did work out and they never showed it.
SeriousSeamstress
Also! I just remember he once had weights at his apartment to fool people. Lois wasn't impressed since he got cheap light ones.
SeriousSeamstress
Well I'd imagine that it would be a very intense work out. But when would he have the time to exercise?
DalekKal
*shrugs* He'd make time out of his daily schedule probably.
WeaponizedAutisticCanadian
I tried to kill myself twice, Because of Clark Kent, I decided not to cause of moments of hope like this
bernlack
It looks like you tried to kill yourself because of Clark Kent.
WeaponizedAutisticCanadian
Haha kinda does, could you imagine
SeriousSeamstress
Things like this are why I think comics are awesome. But eh, maybe avoid the injustice series if you want hope and superman.
WeaponizedAutisticCanadian
I read them already, I'm always down for a bit of fun when it comes to a character
ThatDarnBandit
Did you read Anerican Alien?
SeriousSeamstress
Yeah it's a good series. They did well on portraying almost everyone, I just wish they hadn't killed my favorite character so quickly. :(
WeaponizedAutisticCanadian
What character was that?
SeriousSeamstress
Martian Manhunter.

We're going to have fate. It's going to be a great fate. You won't even believe the destiny that will go into this fate. Mexico will pay it.

It'll be huuuuuuuuuuge!
TheStaffmaster
Oh, he was chosedn by fate huh, A boy should not have to make that kind of decision, huh? Don't tell that to Bruce, there Clark.
AwesomeSihv
Even in the most brutal batman timelines, I’ve never seen him start crime fighting before 17. Huge difference between that and a 12 y/o.
TheStaffmaster
Bruce, by his own admission on NUMEROUS occasions DIED that night with his parents.

For all his charisma Supes sure lacks wisdom.
FullMetal55
not everyone uses charisma as a dump stat....
Renovin
Nah, Shazam just appealed to his caring mature and got a +5 to his roll.

Ever since Injustice, I've been terrified of Superman... Especially around other heroes.

I’m not since I know that, that isn’t the Superman I know because he’s not merciless and arrogant, he’s forgiving and humble. He’s a hero.

I just watched a video of all the cutscenes strung together... the scene relevant to this post horrified me so much...

...which is why this "Superman murders people" kick DC's been on is the worst thing they've ever done. Even Electric Superman was batter.
PumpkinKing708
Wait is there like one giant book of all the injustice comics? I've bought some that was a complete series in on big book. Idk what they're
NostrilMonster
Comic isn't over yet
YourWaifuIsTrash
Injustice is compiled into story arcs, each one being one in-universe year. The fifth and last year is unfinished.
AsianDad
Ever since Flashpoint, I've been scaroused of Wonder Woman. Especially around other Amazonian.
DeadlyEnzyme
Oh shit yea. She really brutally killed Captain Marvel in that one. It was really REALLY messed up.
iamthisguy247
Especially killing him in kid form.
wannabeblue
WHAT? Why?
iamthisguy247
It's a different reality, so she's pretty vicious in this one. Made him say Shazam with her lasso then killed him.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
Read "Kingdom Come". Please.
HobbstheTiger
Such a good read! My favorite story.
StanielRonathan
This. I feel like everything Injustice wants to be and to do is just an inferior copy of Kingdom Come.
ThisIsRadioNowhere
I recommend "Irredeemable" by Mark Waid, it's about how the most powerful hero on earth, the Plutonian, snaps and starts destroying (1)
wannabeblue
.
ThisIsRadioNowhere
And killing everything and everyone he once protected, heroes, villains and civilians alike. (2).

SharlayTheBarbarian
I read that, it's good, but I have mixed feelings about it. Also, don't recommend it without it's counterpart "Incorruptible".

What he did to Captain Marvel......
HelloThisIsIT
More like what he did to shazam...
choreboy
Same thing.
Woolf01
It's part of the intrigue of superman. Most powerful being on Earth, and he could break whenever.
CaesarSalad
And what he did to Green Arrow and Black Canary. Fuck!
PumpkinKing708
God I felt bad for green arrow....
darearkin
What DID he do?
mysterypickle
Laser eyes through his skull.
mans51
That never made much sense, shazam is not that far away from superman in terms of power..
Tehadam
Superman's power is directly proportional to the needs of the plot.
Fairdinkums
Please someone tell me what he did or link me to wherever i might be able to read it myself please???
minority119
in Injustice? he roasted Captain Marvel's brain with his eye beams
choreboy
It's a cut scene on the video game. I'll link it.

TeammateAssist
Ingame: He froze his mouth shut so he can't shazam back into a kid, then laser-beamed his skull through and through, killing him.
Nova225
I feel like Captain Marvel is strong enough not to go down that fast. Or at least I thought he was.
thrownawayasianguy
I thought he had already in game aged to his shazam age and the whole freezing thing was so he couldn't become shazam and actually fight?
LordTonyStarkofWinterfell
Brutal.
Aerrowflex
Shazam doesnt just turn him, its a powerful blast of energy that could be used to have stopped Superman choking him.
Textuality
I wasn't really a fan of the way Injustice handled Clark. He wouldn't just go full-on nazi like that. He's a better person.
StanielRonathan
To me, Injustice is a weak copy of Kingdom Come, but with Superman overtly evil so Batman's side can be objectively right the entire time
Textuality
Yeah, pretty much.
StanielRonathan
It even starts the same way for Superman: Joker murders Lois Lane, except that wasn't even what pushed Clark over the edge per se.
StanielRonathan
It was the public cheering for Magog murdering Joker, an act of vigilante murder, that demoralized him into retiring.
