TheJustice Leaguehas a position in theShazam!trailer - if you know where to depend . David F. Sandberg ’s plastic film is a very dissimilar sort of DC Extended Universe movie , focusing not on the near - mythic figures audiences have become accustomed to but or else a baby by chance gifted superhero major power . However , that does n’t imply the Justice League wo n’t have a presence .
Set photosrevealed ware relating to Superman , Batman and ( inquisitively ) Harley Quinn , while a recent a first look at Billy Batson - the younger side of Shazam - revealed a wealthiness of superhero memorabilia in Freddy Freeman ’s way , with a particular slant towards the Man of Steel . This makes for aShazam!trailerthat , despite being decidedly lighter in - timber , has a firm presence from the DCEU .

The nucleus of it is Freddy , who has so many collectibles even a DCEU die - hard would get jealous . In fact , two - third base of the Justice League are represented ! What follows are the liberal four Easter Eggs .
Aquaman - Freddy’s T-Shirt
We get the first indication of Freddy ’s fanboy nature before he even opens his rima oris . When being introduced to Billy Batson at their surrogate parents ' house - they look to be roommates - he ’s wearing a t - shirt emblazoned with theAquamanlogo . In the DCEU so far , Arthur Curry has been a rather loth hero and mostly consigned to the oceans and Amnesty Bay , but plain , his solo movie ( which also just got atrailer ) will see him become more of a menage name ( although that shirt is improbable official Atlantis merchandise ) .
Batman - Batarang
When Bruce Wayne revealed himself asBatmanto Barry Allen inJustice League , he did so with a speed - testing Batarang , something the immature Flash asked to keep . He ’s evidently not the only one wanting a Batman payable : atop a breast of knickers , Freddy has his own Batarang . Of of course , while this is an accurate - take care patch - ( it even has the identifiable German mark carved into it if you brighten the range ) - it ’s indecipherable if this is a Wayne Tech original or just a replica ; it ’s quite possibly the latter given what ’s next .
Superman - Authentic Deflected Bullet
Freddy quite clear has a favorite superhero ; as suggest at by him tell a hoagy must fly , he ’s particularly obsessed withSuperman . From the teaser ikon , we get word he had cap and mugs honoring the Kryptonian ( exchangeable to those seen inSuicide Squad ) , with his pride possession being a bullet deflected of Supes ' chest complete with " Certificate of Authenticity " . He continue this conceal out , alongside newspapers debating Superman ’s place in modern high society ( a nod to the meta - debate ofBatman v Superman ) .

Wonder Woman - Another Freddy T-Shirt
Later in the trailer , when Shazam is strain out his lightning powers on passersby ’s phones ( to mixed charging results ) , Freddy sports another DC logotype liothyronine - shirt , this fourth dimension forWonder Woman . As with Aquaman , this must be a moderately recent addition given that Diana Prince has been in some grade of hiding for the better part of a century ( how deep depends on the movie at paw ) .

This is likely just the tip of the iceberg when it hail toDCEU references . Aside from what set exposure revealed , Freddy ’s superhero idolizing is place to be a key motivator to Billy discovering his powers and beyond . In fact , the trailer may have actually edited around more overt reference to some superheroes . For now , blazing by their absence are The Flash and Cyborg , although by the time ofShazam!neither has had their own solo adventure and may not be as prominent as the others ( despite save up the world as a team ) .
