Not too sure if I like the origin aspect of it. Seems like it's quite a bit to go through, especially since it's only a 22 minute short. And it cuts down on the actual time we get to see Captain Marvel being awesome.
I still have high hopes though.

Warner Bros is obviously afraid to really develop the Captain Marvel character. It seems like they think anytime you watch Captain Marvel it dilutes Superman. I read an executive say that they didn't think Billy Batson turning into Captain Marvel made any sense because he wouldn't want to return to his younger form anymore. This is silly because Superman is written to enjoy an alter ego; why can't Billy? Also, when ever they do put these guys together they always give Superman a slight advantage. Captain Marvel possess' powers of gods which should give him the advantage.

I think its funny that in the fight, Superman and Captain Marvel destroyed at least 6 or 7 buildings which had to have killed hundreds if not thousands of people and nobody cares. Im really hoping that turns out to be a dream sequence or Superman helped kill the people he was trying to protect by destroying that bomb. If its not a dream or something Supes should have simply let the bomb kill everyone and his suit wouldnt have been burnt buy lightning. It looks the writer was so desperate to show how powerful both combatants were that he didnt take into account this. Oh well cant wait for this to come out lol.

The city was a newly built community that was not populated. Luthor was revealing a power source that would provide free electricity to the people who lived there.

Can anybody tell me what has to happen for DC to bring in fresh blood. Bruce Timm has done his time but BMTAS was almost 20 years ago. We need new blood, energy, enthusiasm. Characters like Superman, Batman and Captain Marvel are so much potential.

The movies need to be a solid 1 1/2 hours.

He had serious plot armor in that. AND they basically said straight up that had Superman Batman and Wonder Woman been there they could have stopped him, but you know, the big three have to be the best at everything and all that derp.

And for that Matter, Adam shouldn't be able to beat Captain Marvel so easily, (let alone him AND Superman) they have the exact same power.
But honestly, DC will never publish a story where Superman is easily defeated by Black Adam or Captain Marvel because Superman always has to be the best at everything ever.

LA is right, although I'm not entirely sure what Wonder Woman and Batman could've done to curb BA. Adam is extremely powerful and can throw hands with just about anyone. Of course, him being my favorite DCU character, I'm a bit biased but while he can more than hold his own against Supercheese, he can't win...much less against him and Captain Marvel.

He and Captain Marvel have the same powers, yes. But Adam is a very competent combatant already based on his lineage. Captain Marvel is, ultimately, a 10 year old with an inane amount of power. When all other factors are equal, experience and skill should triumph. Of course it also helps that BA is utterly ruthless.
