    Seriously! Young Justice just gets more and more addicting.

    Eager for GL and Young Justice, but again I find it vastly amusing/annoying that people at DC keep saying that no one knows who Captain Marvel is, and yet there he is in both the comedy short and the actual Young Justice series...

    Captain Marvel could be the kind of character that can easily be marketed to kids if DC actually had the guts to use him. Yes I get Superman and Batman are both cash cows but Captain Marvel could be also if given a chance. If nobody had given Batman or Superman a chance then they wouldn't be the flagship of DC as they are now.

    And, in fact, they did, with Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam. I wish they'd bring it back...

    I'm digging that Shazam bit seems to have a little Johnny Ryan meets Jay Ward feel to it. I really need to get on board with 'Young Justice'. I've seen maybe 2 episodes and only heard good reviews from fans. I'm a fan of Johns run on Teen Titans and I hear the show has the same feel. Recently watched an episode with Zatanna/Dr. Fate and it piqued my interest in the show.

    In the comics, he'll now be known as Shazam. But a lot more people know him from TV (Young Justice, Batman: Brave and the Bold, this DC Nation short) as Captain Marvel. I think DC Comics is going to confuse people even more about the name of the character (which is ironic because they said they are changing the name because most people already think his name's Shazam).

    Yeah but I still prefer him as Captain Marvel. Thats what I grew up on.

    I'm pretty sure most DC prefers it too. I think it's just they want to confuse people especially when Marvel's about to also relaunch a new Captain Marvel book.

    They can't legally use Captain Marvel as a trademark, so they thought they might as well call him a name they can title his book (or animation, movies, etc.) with.

    I disliked the Captain Marvel one. The art style really was a turn off.

    Was surprised to see Donna as Wonder Girl. It actually had me hoping that I would get to see Wally for a moment....and then I realized.... Yeah. Young Justice. *doh*

    Young Justice was enjoyable as was the short clip on the various movie Batmobiles.

    The animation style of Captain Marvel reminded me of the animation from Rocky and Bullwinkle.
