How Shazam! Is the Foil to Man of Steel
Warner Bros. once put all its eggs in the Zack Snyder basket when 2013âs Man of Steel launched what would become (the unofficially nicknamed) the DC Extended Universe. That grittier film gave way to a broodier Batman v Superman, a haphazard Suicide Squad, and a directorial Frankenstein Justice League stitched together from shots filmed by Snyder and his replacement, Joss Whedon â none of which seemed to match expectations. But DC is changing. These films are brighter (no doubt thanks to Wonder Womanâs glimmering gauntlets) and a touch more out-there (cue the âWahoo!â war cry of Aquaman). Itâs during this franchiseâs sudden about-face that we now meet Shazam, the cinematic antithesis to the Ayn Rand-ian Kryptonian that started it all.
