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!

- Hey, guys, here's Vinnie. - Alright.

- Hey! - Hey, Vinnie.

- Ooh! - Aah!

- Alright! - Billy!

Oh! Okay, okay, okay.

- Alright, man. - Whoa!

Geez.

Hey. Hey, it's good to be back in circulation.

- Yeah. - Alright, man.

Hey, hey, Vinnie, what was it like in jail?

I couldn't tell you, man. I wasn't in there

long enough to find out.

Alright, alright. Lighten up, huh?

Listen, we, uh, we got some business

to settle with a fink named Jackie.

- Hey, right. - Alright.

- 'Alright.' - 'Alright.'

- Okay. - Right on.

Have a nice day.

- Hello, Jackie, how's business? - Mr. Mentor, Billy.

What are you doing back in these parts?

Oh, you know us, traveling vagabonds

who drift with the changing winds.

I suppose you read about your pal Vinnie

being out on bail.

Yeah, I heard. But don't worry about me.

I'm gonna stay as far away from that troublemaker as possible.

Hey, let me check this tire for ya.

It was Vinnie.

Well, he didn't waste any time comin' after you, did he?

No, he was just sending me a little message.

Vinnie and his friends call themselves

the Vultures, don't they?

I'd say that the meaning of Vinnie's message

was loud and clear.

Look, I'm really cool. Don't worry about me.

Vinnie can send all the messages he wants to.

'I don't need his kind of hassles.'

'Uh-oh. It's the Elders.'

Oh, Elders, fleet and strong and wise

appear before my seeking eyes.

'Sorry, I'm late, Solomon.'

A lot of water has passed under the bridge this morning.

Billy, even as water, which is vital to life

can become a destructive force

'so to the human energies'

can function as forces for good or evil.

And the difference lies in the channeling of those energies.

You yourself will be made to learn that lesson by trial.

When the moment comes, rember

one must not seek to resolve differences

through physical combat.

You know, Mentor, I-I can't help but feel

that we're talking about Jackie.

Alright.

'Jackie, will you, please, listen?'

Look, I told you, I'm not gonna make Vinnie's scene.

But that doesn't prevent Vinnie from bringing his scene to you.

What am I supposed to do? Move to the North Pole?

No, Jackie. We're just saying that

Vinnie's not gonna stop hassling you.

He's gonna make it tough for you not to fight.

Look, I told you, we're cool. Will you believe me?

But if he keeps his sister from seeing me much longer..

Tell you what, Jackie

we'll do what we can to help you on that score, hm?

- Any sign of Mellie? - No.

I don't think this is any way to find her.

Mentor, turn the corner and stop.

Okay.

Inside.

This court is now in session.

Everybody in attention for the judge

'and leader of the Vultures, Vinnie.'

Oh, you gotta be kidding.

Bring the victim.. Oh.

Excuse me, I..

The accused forward.

Well, dig this, he wants to split.

Sit down, smart guy.

Okay, I'll play your silly game.

Just so you don't get any more ideas about splittin'

tie him up.

Hey, man, a joke's a joke, you know.

Read the charges.

You're hereby charged with

stickin' your nose in where it don't belong.

Wrong. I was just trying to stop

some serious trouble, that's all.

Hey, dig this. He only wants to help.

Well, this court don't want any more interruptions.

You heard the evidence. What's the verdict?

This here court's gonna adjourn to the judge's chamber

to consider what we're gonna do next.

Wait a minute. What about him?

'He starts makin' noise, we're all in trouble.'

'Man.'

'He won't make any noise.'

Come on, let's go.

Billy!

- Oh, Mellie, it's you. - Where's Billy?

Well, he's out looking for you.

Oh, I've gotta find him. I hope it's not too late.

Billy!

Hey, forget it. They're comin' back.

- I can't undo this. - Look, get out of here.

But I can't just leave you here.

Get out of here.

Shazam!

He split.

Man, there's somethin' weird goin' on around here.

- What is it? - Yeah.

Come on.

I shouldn't have left Billy.

I have a feeling he'll show up safe and sound.

Shazam!
