SHAZAM! arrives in cinemas today

The latest DC Comics inspired movie, SHAZAM!, is released in cinemas today.

An entirely new tone is coming to the live action DC Comics movies today, as SHAZAM! arrives in cinemas. Billy Batson is a regular teenager, until he is granted the power to transform into a super hero upon using the titular magic word. No LEGO DC Super Heroes sets based on the film have been released, with the LEGO Group focusing on the Bat once again.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).

SHAZAM! is in cinemas now.
