Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird. It's a plane. It's... "definitely not Superman." At least, that's what Fawcett Comics told the courts, beginning a multigenerational, multiversal saga of strangeness that continues in the modern day.

Doctor Who was first broadcast on the 23rd of November 1963. Both your hosts are fans of the show so we thought we would use the 60th Anniversary of this event to bring you a very special episode where we cover the DC and Fawcett Comics characters called MISTER WHO. You may be aware of the Doctor Fate villain by that name but did you know about the one that was hunted by Bulletman and Bulletgirl? How about the animal killer Mr Who that Green Arrow and Speedy encountered? Or even the Mr Who that caused problems for the Marvel Family?   We needed some help with such a huge project so we called upon some fellow Doctor Who fan podcasters to voice the various Mister Whos as well as some other characters. So, a big thank you to our guest voices - Shagg Matthews, Ross Aitken, Brandon Peters, Logan McFarlane and Kenny Smith.   Join us to find out Who is Who!   You can find our guest podcasters with the following links - http://fireandwaterpodcast.com/show/jlipodcast/ https://stopletsteamup.libsyn.com/ https://thebrandonpetersshow.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doctor-who---pieces-of-eighth/   Email us at theearth2podcast@gmail.com Facebook www.facebook.com/theearth2podcast Instagram www.instagram.com/theearth2podcast Twitter www.twitter.com/podcast_earth2 Leave us a Voicemail at www.speakpipe.com/theearth2podcast   #dccomics #Comics #Podcast #DrWho #DoctorWho #MisterWho #DoctorFate #Bulletman #Bulletgirl #GreenArrow #Speedy #CaptainMarvel #MaryMarvel #CaptainMarvelJnr #CM3

And why Geoff Johns should be pooped upon by a thousand birds. And an old hound bumps the table with the microphone a lot.

A bit late, but we finally bring the thunder down and examine Billy Batson/Captain Marvel/Shazam! And for some reason, Matchbox 20 factors in. It makes sense in context, trust us… Intro Apologies for delay on episode Belated 5th anniversary celebration! Background (2:20) Shazam/Captain Marvel, Billy Batson, created by Bill Parker and CC Beck in Whiz Comics #2 (Feb. 1940) Originally designed as six superheroes, each with the power of a mythical figure, they were combined into one hero as Captain Marvel Billy Batson is a 12 year old orphan who can transform into a superhero called Captain Marvel by speaking the word SHAZAM, an acronym of the six immortal elders/gods who gave him his power: Solomon (wisdom), Hercules (strength), Atlas (stamina), Zeus (power), Achilles (courage), and Mercury (speed) Later issues introduced members of the extended Marvel family, who shared Billy's powers - Captain Marvel Jr. (Freddy Freeman), Mary Marvel (Billy's twin sister Mary), and others, as well as his nemeses Black Adam, Doctor Sivana, Mister Mind, and more In the 1940s, Captain Marvel was more popular than Superman, and at one point was selling over a million copies per issue In 1941, the precursor to DC Comics (National Comics) sued Fawcett Comics for copyright infringement, claiming Captain Marvel was too similar to Superman - although losing the initial claim, DC won an appeal, and in 1953 Fawcett settled monetarily with DC, because by this point the Captain Marvel books weren't selling nearly as well, agreeing to cease publication In 1967 Marvel Comics created their own character named Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell), and secured the trademark In 1972, DC Comics licensed the characters from Fawcett, but was unable to name the book Captain Marvel due to Marvel's trademark - the characters could retain their names, however, so the new book was called Shazam! The 1970s saw the Marvel family established on Earth-S in the DC multiverse, with occasional crossovers, until Crisis, where they were fully integrated into the streamlined DC New Earth 1994 - The Power of Shazam! retconned his backstory - his parents were archaeologists killed by their associate Theo Adam, who steals a magic scarab - Theo becomes Black Adam, who realizes who Billy is after determining he looks just like his father Played a critical role in Kingdom Come, where he famously squares off against Superman Joined the JSA in the early 2000s to keep Black Adam in check In the New 52, he was officially renamed Shazam, since the book couldn't be called Captain Marvel anyway, and the Marvel family was renamed the Shazam family - all the children were other foster kids alongside Billy, who retained his youthful nature but was more cynical than previously written New series coming in June written by Mark Waid Issues - more than you think you are (13:02) Shazam picks a child to be the world's greatest hero - heavy burden on such young shoulders No parents to help him with this burden - so he created his own found family Serves as functional avatar of six gods across various pantheons (23:15) Break (28:44) Plugs for Hops Geek, Frigay the 13th, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson Treatment (30:55) In-universe - sessions with Billy & Shazam, and then compare notes Out of universe - foster kid (36:38) Skit (44:18) DOC: Hello Shazam, I'm Dr. Issues. BILLY: Oh please, just call me Billy. DOC: Hi, Billy! Wassup. Hi five!  BILLY: Ok, you're trying too hard. DOC: What?  BILLY: I can tell you think I'm cool, but Just call me Billy…and you can put your hand down. DOC: Crash and burn. *muttering* Nice one, doc. *normal voice* So Billy, what can I do for you?  BILLY: Are you the one that writes prescriptions and stuff? I don't really need that. DOC: Yes…but I don't tend to write many for kids unless it's absolutely necessary. Are you having trouble with school?  BILLY: No. DOC: At home?  BILLY: Nope. DOC: With friends?  BILLY: It's complicated.  DOC: Aha! Now we're getting somewhere. So what's going on with your friends?  BILLY: Not much. DOC:*pause* Sooooo…it's not a problem, really?  BILLY: Not anything you can do about it. DOC:Try me.  BILLY: Can you make them younger? DOC:No.  BILLY: Can you make them understand me? DOC:Ummm…not directly  BILLY: See? Waste of time. DOC:Hold it! I'm not giving up yet.  BILLY: Cool. DOC:*pause, desperate* Uhhhhh…what games do you like?  BILLY: Not any you'd care about. DOC:Whoa dude. I'm used to being shut out but you're a ninja at cutting people off.  BILLY: It's a gift, I guess. DOC:Really? What other gifts you got? I don't get to hang around aliens or gods or any of that stuff, so I know I'm *clearly sarcastic* OUT OF MY LEAGUE HAHAHA BILLY: *pause* What is wrong with you? DOC:*run-on* An intense level of sarcasm that acts as a veneer to cover plenty of deep caring for the world at large even when I want to be left alone. And you?  BILLY: Same. whoa…WHOA…nobody says that. No DOCTOR says that. DOC:No doctor admits it, you mean. I'm probably not supposed to say it like that. But honesty in myself helps me sleep at night even when nothing else goes my way. I try to match the room. If I can't ,I just shut down.  BILLY: TMI my man. DOC:Is it? I'm filling time. Usually I'll stay silent for a whole session, but that's no fun. I'm trying something different. There must be something about you. I don't open up to just anyone, so you must have some sort of connection even if you don't admit it. But then again, there's this theory that  BILLY: *interrupting* Do you ever shut up? DOC:Always. BILLY: *awkward silence* What, you want me to talk now? DOC:You don't have to.  BILLY: *more awkward silence* So we're really going to sit here forever until I say something? DOC:No, just until the end of the session….or you do the thing.  BILLY: What thing? DOC:You know the thing.  BILLY: No DOC:Come on, do the thing! Say it! Please?  BILLY: Are you just a fanboy? DOC:Not really. I just wonder if you're different when you say it. I bet you are  BILLY: No. DOC:I'll make the session free  BILLY: No DOC:I'll make the next session free  BILLY: I don't want another session DOC:I'll cancel the next session  BILLY: Fine. SHA-wait, I could just no-show the next session DOC:I have a cancellation fee  BILLY: I don't care! You're just trying to use me like everyone else. DOC:*hurt* Ouch. Look. I'm bad at jokes like this, and it's obvious I'm throwing a lot of stuff at the wall to see what sticks. First I tried to treat you like a typical patient, but that was selling you short. Then I tried to relate to you with something that you admit hit you personally, and you didn't go for it. Then I tried flattery, and you felt insulted. I don't know what works for you, but this ain't it. If you want somebody else to see you, fine. But I'm not giving up. Somebody can help if you have things to talk through.  BILLY: Why would you talk to someone that doesn't want to talk to you? DOC:Have you ever had to deal with somebody that didn't want to deal with you?  BILLY: Yeah. DOC:And you did it anyway?  BILLY: Yeah. DOC:Why?  BILLY: That's different. I'm trying to save people. DOC:So am I, in a much different way. I can't do it the way you do. But I don't give up on lost causes.  BILLY: You sound like some people I know. DOC:Is that a good thing?  BILLY: Knowing them, yeah. But they keep getting in more and more trouble, and they keep fighting, and then they talk about it all the time. What if I don't want to do that? What If I want to have fun? Or quit? Or hang out? I want to do what I want. They want me to be like Superman or Batman  DOC:Then find a way to do it with your own style. Who cares if it's not just like them? Don't be a copy.  BILLY: Nobody told me that before.  DOC:*sarcastic clapping* Hooray, I did something. Yaaaay. Is there anything else?  BILLY: You're still strange, you know that?  DOC:Not for copyright purposes  BILLY: What? DOC:Nothing. Now, for giving you one talking point  BILLY: *interrupting* fine SHAZAM! *sound effects* See? No big deal, I'm still Billy.  DOC:*sobbing*  BILLY: Are you crying? DOC:THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM MAKING YOU A FREE PATIENT FOR LIFE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD  BILLY: Most people just ask for an autograph.

Geekorama is Produced by Superhero-Fiction.comhttps://www.superhero-fiction.com For this week’s episode of Geekorama, we’re talking about a fun superhero holiday film. No, it’s not Diehard, but we could be convinced he’s got superpowers. This week we’ll be discussing the surprising “holiday” hit: Shazam! Pop-Culture Trivia - The first superhero film: Captain Marvel While this is a contentious subject, with some film historians citing Zorro as the true first superhero film, others say that it was a 12-chapter serial from Republic Pictures in 1941: Adventures of Captain Marvel. Based on a Fawcett Comics hero who later ended up as part of the DC Comics roster, it focused on a young man named Billy Batson who transforms into a godlike good guy and battles a supervillain called the Scorpion. This crude attempt to bring comic heroes to the big screen suffers from the usual stop-start cliffhanger-itis of the episodic form, but the foundations of the genre — an origin story, a secret identity, a costume and an arch-nemesis — were all cemented into place.GEEK OUTSTrish - Trish ditched her Geek Out because Jeremy mentioned Star Wars.Jeremy - This season of the Mandalorian has been filled with delightful fun for even those of us (me) who prefer Star Trek over Star Wars. The “child” has been much more of a character and I can’t wait to see what weird thing he’ll eat next. But the shining moment has been the cameos of other well known sci-fi folks such as Kate Sackoff and Rosario Dawson. Who knows, at this rate maybe I’ll become a fan of the franchise?Deep Dive -  Shazam!Trish Liked:  Zachary Levi...that’s all. Just kidding! Although, HELLO Eugene!Seriously though, Levi was pitch perfect as Billy Batson’s older and bigger alter ego. He channeled that same energy that Tom Hanks did in Big and made it superhero gold. The representation in this film was almost perfect with the members of Billy’s foster family being multi cultural and LGBTQ. The design of the costumes was fun and did not hyper sexualize anyone.  And I loved that it was set at Christmas, when magic and wishes are a staple of the season and also of this superhero film. What I didn’t especially like was the fact that when the kids transformed into their ideal selves, the chubby kid was thin and the kid with cane didn’t have to use it anymore. This is a problem because many people in those situations are made to feel by society that they are somehow less, and none of them have a magic catch phrase to take those things away. Some of them flat out don’t want to and they should have to in order to fit in. There was a missed opportunity for Freddy especially to have a powerful arc in realizing that just because he walks with a cane it doesn’t mean he’s not a powerful hero.Jeremy Liked: The writing and the smart, witty, family friend humor. It’s easy to be crass, but to be wholesome and still laugh out loud funny, that takes effort.It had so many great moments that even on second viewing, you walked away chuckling again. The story is an origin story, which I generally loathe, but they did it through the lens of a child and the big kid in me ate it up. Not only did it cater to our love of superheroes, it catered to that inner child who always wondered what would happen if we became a hero. The movie doesn’t pull any punches and shows the reality of what would happen. Granted, I’d be more of a villain, but we gotta save something for the sequel.QotW: What is your favorite holiday film?Visit Superhero-Fiction to Discover Uncanny Superhero Stories Subscribe to Geekorama to Stay Up-to-Date on All Things SuperheroiTunes | Spotify | Podbean | Youtube Follow Superhero-Fiction on Social MediaSuperhero-Fiction Facebook Page | Superhero-Fiction Facebook Group Trish Heinrich – Facebook | InstagramJeremy Flagg - Facebook | Instagram

Brian Cremins' book Captain Marvel and the Art of Nostalgia (University Press of Mississippi, 2017) explores the history of Billy Batson, a boy who met a wizard that allowed him to transform into a superhero. When Billy says, “Shazam!” he becomes Captain Marvel. Cremins explores the history of artist C.C. Beck and writer Otto Binder’s Captain Marvel comic book character who outsold Superman comics in the 1940s. Examining the Golden Age of comics in the United States, Cremins addresses the careers of Beck and Binder, Captain Marvel, and the ways in which they influenced comic fandom in the 1960s. Focusing on the relationship between comics and nostalgia, Cremins examines the origins of Billy Batson and Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel and the Art of Nostalgia details the lives of Beck and Binder, the lawsuit filed against Fawcett Comics that eventually ended Captain Marvel and Fawcett Comics, and the role of World War II and the nostalgia of American soldiers and civilians in Captain Marvel’s popularity. He also investigates the complicated histories of characters such as Mr. Tawny, the talking tiger that adapts to American society and befriends Captain Marvel, and Steamboat Bill, the African American food truck owner who helps Captain Marvel catch a group of criminals and in return is given a job by Billy Batson. Ending with the influence of comic fanzines of the 1960s on reigniting interest in Beck and Binder as well as Captain Marvel, Cremins examines the impact of comics on memory and American popular culture. Rebekah Buchanan is an Assistant Professor of English at Western Illinois University. Her work examines the role of narrative–both analog and digitalin peoples lives. She is interested in how personal narratives produced in alternative spaces create sites that challenge traditionally accepted public narratives.

Brian Cremins' book Captain Marvel and the Art of Nostalgia (University Press of Mississippi, 2017) explores the history of Billy Batson, a boy who met a wizard that allowed him to transform into a superhero. When Billy says, “Shazam!” he becomes Captain Marvel. Cremins explores the history of artist C.C. Beck and writer Otto Binder’s Captain Marvel comic book character who outsold Superman comics in the 1940s. Examining the Golden Age of comics in the United States, Cremins addresses the careers of Beck and Binder, Captain Marvel, and the ways in which they influenced comic fandom in the 1960s. Focusing on the relationship between comics and nostalgia, Cremins examines the origins of Billy Batson and Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel and the Art of Nostalgia details the lives of Beck and Binder, the lawsuit filed against Fawcett Comics that eventually ended Captain Marvel and Fawcett Comics, and the role of World War II and the nostalgia of American soldiers and civilians in Captain Marvel’s popularity. He also investigates the complicated histories of characters such as Mr. Tawny, the talking tiger that adapts to American society and befriends Captain Marvel, and Steamboat Bill, the African American food truck owner who helps Captain Marvel catch a group of criminals and in return is given a job by Billy Batson. Ending with the influence of comic fanzines of the 1960s on reigniting interest in Beck and Binder as well as Captain Marvel, Cremins examines the impact of comics on memory and American popular culture.

Topic: Shazam (2019) We talked about Captain Marvel a few weeks back: how the name Captain Marvel existed originally as a DC owned character, then found it's way in to the hands of Marvel after DC sued Fawcett Comics over the character rights/originality.  The character came back to the DC fold once purchased, and become Shazam, since Marvel owned the License to the name a that point.  Well a super hero movie happened, and we went to watch it.       Tutorial:   History Shazam originally known as Captain Marvel. More popular than Superman. DC Sued Faucett Comics over rights for the character Eventually bought by DC and re-christened as Shazam.   Billy Batson(10), orphan Meets a wizard after escaping bullies on a subway. Wizard gives him the powers of Shazam = Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury   Marvel Family Captain Marvel Jr. Mary Marvel Marvel Triplets: Fat Marvel, Tall Marvel, Hillbilly Marvel Doctor Sivana – similar to Lex Luger, stereo typical Super Science bad guy.    Review: Rock Originally signed to play Black Atom, mortal foe to Shazam, very similar power.   Cast: Asher Angel (Billy Batson) Zachary Levi (Shazam)                 Like how distant Billy is, and how naïve Shazam is. Djimon Hounsou (Shazam Wizard) (Guardian of the Galaxy)                 Wish I could have seen more of him. Jack Dylan Grazer (Freddy Freeman) Blue                 Quite good at being annoying. Faithe Herman (Darla Dudley) Purple Grace Fulton (Mary Bromfield) Red Ian Chen (Eugene Choi) Gray Jovan Armanda (Pedro Peña) Green   Mark Strong (Dr. Thaddeus Sivana)                 Wish to see him in roles other than bad guy for once…   Notes: Fawcett School – Fawcett comics Mister Mind – Super intelligent Caterpillar Very innocent feeling movie. Like act 3 better than first two acts. Way too Front loaded with origins. Mark Strong plays a bad guy well. Little too much story for him though?  

This weeks episode has been on a hype train for us all since we started talking about Captain America First Avenger and more so in Winter Soldier! Finally, talking about what it's like to: "Never leave a fallen comrade." In this episode we help our civilian listeners get a feel for what it's like to always get your friends side. Whether it's to slap them silly for messing up, or knowing they didn't mess up and tell the rest of the world to go to hell. We never abandon people just because they mess up or because the "mob" of society wants us to do something. We also delve into what we enjoyed of the movie, and critique the movie a lot too. Let's face it, it's only thing that's like the comic is that Tony and Steve don't see eye to eye and end up fighting. We talk about all of our favorite moments, favorite characters and which "team" we side with.  Then, we spend an extra half an hour after and talk about SHAZAM! Aka the original Captain Marvel from Fawcett Comics, later sued and owned by DC Comics. We give you our spoiler free review and then our spoiler filled review! So make sure you check that movie out!

We discuss the character and review the origin of the Fawcett Comics character the world knows today as Shazam!  Hosted by Kyle Jones and Lee Shackleford.

Holy moly! DCTV Classics makes its long awaited return! Timed to the release of Shazam!, the latest entry into Warner Bros.' DC Films franchise, Keith and Britney look back at the history of the original Captain Marvel. From the character's origin in Fawcett Comics -- and protracted legal battle with DC -- to the hero's reemergence as Filmation's first live action Saturday Morning series in the '70s (now available to stream on DC Universe), Captain Marvel/Shazam has been one of comics' most fascinating characters. Now that Zachary Levi and Asher Angel are about to make Shazam, aka 14-year-old Billy Batson, a household name in David F. Samberg's blockbuster movie, the Classics Crew break down the Big Red Cheese's comic and television history, while also offering some spoilery thoughts about the new movie, and discussing how it will co-exist with the other Captain Marvel currently breaking box office records. Also, Keith announces the next phase of the DCTV Classics podcast.

Once upon a time in the 1940s, Shazam!, aka The Superhero Formerly Known as Captain Marvel, was the most popular superhero on the comic book stands - outselling even Superman! His success helped launch Fawcett Comics and the careers of creators such as C.C. Beck, Jack Kirby, and Otto Binder, and Captain Marvel - the alter-ego of a teenaged radio reporter named Billy Batson - was the first comic book superhero to get his own movie serial. In subsequent years, however, Shazam! and his extensive cast of friends, foes, and family members have fallen into relative obscurity among the general public. Holy Moley - what happened?! And why? In this special revised and updated podcast to commemorate the release of New line Cinema's "Shazam!" feature film, the SSN Crew discovers how one magic word can lead to record comic sales, lawsuits, federal court, trademark troubles, and (somehow) some of the greatest comic book stories and art ever published.

The 1942 Republic serial "Spy Smasher" based on the character from Fawcett Comics is the second adaptation of a comic book for the silver screen. He looks like a pilot with a cape. His description sounds an awful lot like Captain America. But, he sure packs a wallop. Joined this episode by Cinema Cyanide's own Golden Groves.

We are back with another episode of the Golden Age of Comic Books! In this episode we focus on Mary Marvel, one of the great members of the Marvel Family from Fawcett Comics. Mary was first introduced as the sister … Continue reading →
