New Shazam! Photo Harkens Back to Man of Steel and BvS; Plus an Aquaman Reference


The reveals just keep coming for Shazam!, and now we have an official image of Billy Batson (Asher Angel) and his collection of Superman/Batman memorabilia.

Check it out:

If you look closely at the photo, you can see that the Batson has a Superman cap, several other Superman cups, a batarang, and a Batman action figure. He also has the front page from the Daily Planet saying ‘Superman is Back' and he has a Time magazine with the world engine from Man of Steel in the cover.

And Aquaman isn't even out yet, but you can see that Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) is wearing a shirt with Aquaman's logo on it.

I absolutely love when movies help build each other's worlds like this. Marvel has someone say lines here and there mentioning other heroes, but it's really different when the Easter Eggs are visual. Suicide Squad was terrible, but I still love the scene where you spot a vendor outside selling Superman shirts. It kind of helps build up the aftermath to Batman v Superman.

We've only been getting pictures for now, but we should expect the first Shazam! teaser to drop by the end of the week at SDCC 2018.

Shazam! is set to hit theaters April 5, 2019.
