Shazam!

Chosen from among all others by the Immortal Elders

Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury

Billy Batson and his mentor travel the highways and byways

of the land on a never-ending mission

to right wrongs, to develop understanding

and to seek justice for all.

In time of dire need, young Billy has been granted

the power by the Immortals to summon awesome forces

at the utterance of a single word..

Shazam!

A word which transforms him in a flash

into the mightiest of mortal beings

Captain Marvel.

Oh, I feel like I've ridden 10 miles.

Hey.

There you go.

Did you have a good time, huh?

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Didn't you have a good ride?

Little shy, huh?

- Look, mister, he... - Wait a minute.

I got something that just might change that.

Hey, come here.

Come here. Look at this.

'Tsk, tsk, tsk.'

Huh? Look at that, huh?

How about that?

Cute little fella.

I'm sorry, son.

'A dog is a big responsibility'

and I think we both agree you're not ready for that.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm.

Your, your boy, uh, he's a quiet one, isn't he?

I mean, uh..

...he does talk, doesn't he?

No.

Could you just give me my change, please?

Yeah. I-I'm sorry.

Good.

Thank you.

Uh, just so there's no misunderstanding

the loser does the dishes, hm?

I feel like I'm being set up.

But that was our agreement.

The Elders, and just in time too.

Oh, Elders, fleet and strong and wise

'appear before my seeking eyes.'

You make a fine chess player, Billy.

You have great patience.

- And you think before you act. - Thank you, Solomon.

Those are things I've learned from all of you.

Well said, Billy, but learning them is not enough.

'You must also teach them.'

But it won't be easy

for there are those who speak but do not hear

and those who hear but do not speak.

Well, I'm not sure I understand.

You will, Billy. You will.

Are you alright?

Hold on. I'll be right there!

Hold on tight.

You better eat up. Your puppy's already on seconds.

What's your name, son?

You know, I had a puppy when I was your age.

Of course, he wasn't as good-looking as yours

but he was quite a dog.

I taught my dog to roll over and shake hands.

'Can your dog do any tricks?'

'No?'

My name is Billy

and I wanna help you.

I'm glad you can understand me.

Now help me to understand you.

Your puppy trusts me.

How about you trusting me too?

Good boy. I'll go and call your daddy right now.

Everything's gonna be alright.

- Mr. Winstead? - Yeah.

My name is Mentor.

- This is Billy Batson. - How are you?

'He found your son out there on those rocks.'

Yes, in the water.

Thank you.

'Howard's never run away before.'

Hello, son.

'Are you alright?'

Wanna get your things?

That's a fine son you got there, Mr. Winstead.

Yes, he is. And the name is Sam.

Thanks for your help.

Mr. Winstead..

Sam, has Howard always been unable to talk?

No, he used to be just like any other boy.

Played second base.

'You could hear him yelling two blocks away.'
