Shazam!
One corking moment from theShazam!trailers is reassert to not be in the moving-picture show . The firstDC celluloid of 2019- and the only one set in the populace of the DCEU - has had a rather surprising marketing hunting expedition . Shazam ’s near - three - minute teaser trailerreleased at SDCC in July 2018 , but for almost eight months there was n’t a follow - up ; theaters get an emended version of the Comic - Con poke and TV spots revealed more footage , but it was n’t until early March an prescribed drone was secrete .
Not that the staggered approach matter when a picture looks as good asShazam!does . Indeed , the latestinternational traileris full of exciting second , from Billy Batson jumping off a rooftop and transmute into his superhero form in mid - air to a villain monologue become unheard because the Cuban sandwich lacks tops sense of hearing . The absolute highlight , though , has to be the massive meta split second to Batman and Superman ; the poke exhibit a child playing with toy looking like the DCEU versions of the Caped Crusader and Man of Steel ( nodding towards their clash inBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice ) hum the John Williams ' Superman composition before Shazam and Dr. Sivanna clash in front of him .

Sadly , this is n’t actually in the movie free next month . Director David Sandberg has been say as much onTwittersince reports of theShazam!trailer aspect made their way online in January , and now it ’s been formally let go of has repeated it . While the moment is a highpoint of the marketing , it ’s only in the pic sans the classic Superman medicine . According toSandberg , that was a decision of the trailer editor in chief and not anybody involved with the main product .
While this would have fall in an already humorous joke a neat meta tinge , there is some fairish system of logic forShazam!not using the trailer moment . While it ’s funny in a unforesightful part of selling , it would n’t make much sensory faculty in the world of the movie ; it would canonize the Williams ' Superman radical within the DCEU , and to some level the Christopher Reeve movies with it . This effect is doubly dependable cave in how that medicine has already been used in the enfranchisement ’s soundscape .
The John Williams ' Superman radical from the Christopher Reeve epoch is viewed by many as the defining sound of Kal - El , although has a rather complicated family relationship to the DCEU . For Zack Snyder’sMan of SteelandBatman v Superman , Henry Cavill ’s Superman was audibly marked out by Hans Zimmer ’s new , operatic theme . However , when Joss Whedon take away over guide duty ofJustice Leaguefollowing Snyder go away the projection , he replacedDawn of Justicecomposer Junkie XL with Danny Elfman , who in twist swapped the former themes for recreations of theSuperman1977 andBatman1989 scores . " Batman has only one melodic theme " Elfman submit at the time , and while that was his own composition , the system of logic holds true for Superman as well .
The seek to link the continuity - clear-cut DCEU to past movies was just one of many made in the theatrical release ofJustice League , but stay one of it ’s most confounding . WhileDC Films ' futureseems to be ignoring the notorious 2017 bomb , Elfman ’s pick may still have an shock on how any legacy aspect - be it from the Reeve Superman or Burton , Schumacher or Nolan Batman geological era - are factored into the movies . Either they ’re ignored or are part of the soundtrack ; bringing them into the reality would sure be jarring .
