No, superman was in it because it was basically an animated version of there PC fight.
Dont forget that the shazams were originally intended to be Supermans superior when they first came to DCU.
Adam was even intended to be more powerful than captain marvel too
Both Cap and Adam got jobbed decades ago
Either fawkett/early Golden Age DCU versions would beat Superman 10/10
I got this from some of galans old post

Not complaining; just stating DC's likely marketing strategy.
DC almost exclusively brings out full length movies about either Superman, Batman, GL or the JL. Neither Billy nor Adam has the recognition to carry a movie by themselves, especially among "casual" viewers.
So they added Superman. Sure, you can say it harkened back and so on, but considering Superman was in this movie and wasn't even the main or secondary main character, that says a lot imo.
