SHAZAM isn't part of Zack's JLA, so no need to be first. SHAZAM will be apart of New Line, but still apart of the DCEU. My point is that SHAZAM isn't part of the bigger story. Who cares about the 52, because SHAZAM joined much later. Something that will eventually happen in the future of DCEU. I'M sure Billy will be apart of the JLA at one point, but for now they're just focusing on the big 7, minus Martian Manhunter.

Well they don't have to follow it up exactly the same. The Rock/Shazam/Black Adam could bring some much needed excitement and charisma to the JL.
Also who wants to see the new Flash and Aquaman without their own solo films first?
There's no excitement for JL the way they have gone about it IMO.

I'd want him in his own solo film before the JLA. But, yeah, he won't be in Zack's JLA story unless something is announced.
Even in the New 52, SHAZAM was in the backup story before he appeared on the team.

I haave been saying a few times anyway in this thread or the bats v supes thread that the rock will be some sort of anti hero and he'll join the justice league...
besides there is no reason for supes to be in the film other than to get beat up by black adam

Yeah of course. So would I.That's my point though. They should be getting on with Shazam and Flash e.t.c instead of rushing into this JL that no ones even demanding.
SHAZAM is coming out before JL part 2, anyway.
Plus, SHAZAM generally is part of the JSA, not JLA. He's been a member of both, but JSA is where he fits better.
BTW, nobody demanding? JL has more social media hits than BVS, which did MONSTER numbers. I'm predicting JL will gross more than BVS. Don't fall into the same trap like you did last time.

There are no plans for a JSA right now.
Lol @ BvS doing monster numbers.
What trap? I predicted way more for BvS, because it should have performed better. If JLA is a better movie than BvS, and has higher than a 45% on RT, then it will do a bit better.

BVS in the end was disappointing, but it still did monster numbers. Enough to turn a good profit.
You stated Suicide Squad wouldn't do more than 500-600. I predicted it would do a lot more before the marketing even began.
I predict JLA will do more than BVS, at the very least. I'll save this page for when the movie comes out. 🙂
update: I know JSA isn't coming out, I just stated Billy would fit better in that team, which he has in the comics.

lol BvS didnt do "Monster" numbers. Especially being the first time we see Batman and Superman in a movie together, along with being the first time we see the Justice League in a movie with Wonder Woman, The Flash and Aquaman.
And you were the one also saying Civil War underperfomed. Even though its the highest grossing Captain America film to date. And yes its a Captain America film. No amount of moving the goal post changes that.

It did underperform (BVS/CW) but 860 M is nothing to sneeze at.
860 is nothing to sneeze at but they are not MONSTER numbers like you claim. Especially for being the first time to feature the Justice league in a movie. These are the worlds most popular comic characters.
Captain America: The First Avenger - $370.600.000
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - $714.300.000
Captain America: Civil War - $1,153.300.000
Each film making more than the last. How is this under performing again? 😬
