You can read the official episode summary for the special below:
In 'Shazam Slam,' the villainous Black Adam battles Batman on the Rock of Eternity and unleashes a horde of Djinn determined to turn the Earth back to its pre-human, volcanic state. Affected by the otherworldly powers of these primordial monsters, Batman becomes possessed and is turned into a giant flying Batmonster laying waste to the Hall of Justice, with only Superman capable of taking the fight to the Dark Knight. One by one, the Justice League - with the help of Shazam (voiced by Sean Astin) and The Wizard (voiced by Carl Reiner) - must hunt down and defeat each Djinn in order to yet again save the world from destruction.
A preview clip of for the special has also been released. It centers on Superman and shows him going up against the villain Parasite. You can see it below:
It certainly sounds like the cartoon will get off to a bombastic start. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm willing to give it a chance. DC Animated properties tend to be pretty good, though there are some exceptions.
