 Superman/Shazam! The Return Of Black Adam

Cert 15 animation from DC/WB.
I rented it from the library. It was skipping. Billy is a homeless boy that had been in foster care. He has a good heart. He knows Clark Kent. He meets the Wizard named Shazam. He grants him special powers. He is referred to as Captain Marvel which he was originally known. Due to a lawsuit the name was changed. I was watching this more for Superman. I'm not to keen on the lopsided cape of Shazam. Black Adam has come to Earth and he wants to take Billy's powers. The film is short. I hoped it would be longer. Nice fighting scenes. I doubt that I will watch the film in the cinemas. I am currently watching The Flash season 5.
There are extra films. The Spectre which is set in the 70s and they have made the visuals look that way and with the soundtrack and effects. A man has been murdered and a spirit comes back to take vengeance. I like the DC intro. There is a detective on the case. Set in Hollywood. You may have watched Constantine and Supernatural. Quite brutal like a horror film. See Dark Man. I have to look into his back story.
Green Arrow, Oliver McQueen is on his way to see his girlfriend. He the villain Merlin. A princess's life is in danger. Other characters make an appearance. The pack of arrows is like a utility belt. Never ending arrows and each has a function. I know that it is a short film but hoped for more. There is a greenish hue. Season 8 of CW Arrow is the last. Animation and comics will continue
Jonah Hex. Set in the wild west. Jonah has supernatural abilities. The prostitute Madam Lorraine is attractive. There is more to her than meets the eye. Each of the films have a different look to it. Jonah has come looking a cowboy that was last seen in the saloon. Good music. You will recognise some of the actors. Special features are included.
