“Send me the bill.” “On a reporters salery?” If I had to guess its a mix of Supes not having the time/money to do so, not being able to prove that he DOES have that time and money to a court. (Since he’ll have to provide proof that he can take care of Billy), or Billy just not wanting to be a burden/adopted by Superman.
@@BlueSpider2099batman explained this in one comic (not about Billy specifically) but basically Clark as a single unmarried(at this point) reporter who can't even prove he's home half the time would be caught up in cps drama almost immediately and thats if by some miracle they actually give him the kid
A couple reasons, actually. There's the reason everyone else points out and then there's the writer's reason: Billy's own rich background and supporting characters. Plus you have to preserve a status quo sometimes in order to keep a character from becoming radically different in the eyes of fans as well. Becoming part of the Super Family may sound good at first, but it causes developmental hell down the line. And for reference, it's also why you'll never see Bruce Wayne adopt Billy either. Well, at least not in main continuity. Plus Bruce might not want to adopt someone whose name reveals his own secret identity (Batson. Bat's son). Sorry, Billy.
Same thing happened, When supergirl was training on themsceria batman had to explain to him why a man with his power using his super vision to spying on an entire island of beautiful women who have been isolated from man's world Might be considered problematic. Particularly when he kept barging in during their training sessions with her.
He really doesn't. But to be fair, he's not showing off his actual chest to Billy: he's showing his Superman crest, which he has to hide under his shirt. Rarely is Superman ever naked.
Think of it this way. A grown man who’s not married and is seen as just another guy by others and is a reporter who’s heavily involved with Superman randomly adopts a child while living in a low income apartment. CPS will have to check up on a regular basis to see if Clark is capable of taking care of Billy. With all that attention he would have to face it could expose them both as superheroes. Bruce Wayne gets away with it because he owns the foster homes and can just pay off any agent because it’s Gotham and whatever happens, happens
@@NegativeSnake at this time clark is married to lois and they both are extremely wealthy reporters and doing well together they just arent billionaires also shazam is more related to superman than batman
@@popcronartist5488 yeah but at the time of that certain comic Clark was still average Clark Kent with no Lois but as of now Shazam has an entire family so he doesn’t need to be adopted anymore
I always felt bad for The Wizard in this scene. I always took the "Destiny" aspect of what he says at face value, and basically read his answer to Superman as: "It has been predetermined by the universe. I *do not want this to happen, and could not stop it if I tried,* but I'm also destined to be The Wizard, so the best I can do is give people advice and hope it turns out okay."
Superman saying, "who did this to you?" With that furious and protective look on his face is the culmination of his character and why i love superman. Guiding Billy Batson the same way his father guided him, the kents would be proud
Yeah it is but imagine yourself as Billy in this situation because he doesn't know Clark kent is superman at that moment so for him, all of a sudden a adult man comes into his home building and say he will help you and while you are sitting on a old bed the adult man you don't know starts taking of his clothes in front of you. It is creepy when seen from Billy's pov
Bruce is training Robin and not just sending him out on patrol by himself. There are trials and test. Sups knows Batman is going to put a Robin at risk until fully trained… except Jason… Jason went rogue!
@@crimsonnemesis3511 yeah idk about that. In Gotham you not only have a crazy clown but also a giant humanoid crocodile that may or may not be cannibalistic depending on the writer, a guy in a pig mask performing "surgeries" on unwilling patients, a secret organization that uses a owl motif that's been controlling Gotham from the shadows, and many more deranged and scary villains. I feel like a lecture from the big blue boy scout is needed when you bring children to fight these especially since Jason died due to one of these psychos.
"Bruce we need to talk about your robins-" "I have pink kryptonite Clark." "AND WHY THEY WERE SUCH A GOOD IDEA! Wow Bruce you really are a genius! Anyways im going to leave now bye!
he's done this to batman too. he's gotten in Bruce's face over the irresponsibility of having a child sidekick before, and later on in their friendship, he's specifically called out the fact bruce doesn't think of robin as a son, saying "he lives in your house, he follows in your footsteps, whether you admit it or not, that kid is your son." Clark lets it alone after that because Bruce says "he's NOT my son...he's MORE than that." Bruce doesn't think of him as a son at that point because he doesn't want robin to BECOME him. the whole reason he took on Dick Grayson was so he could bring his parent's killer to justice, so he wouldn't become the broken man that bruce became in that alley all those years ago. Clark stops pressuring Bruce over it once he UNDERSTANDS Bruce. as to his own son being his sidekick, superboy is damn near indestructible, Robin ISN'T. He's Human. he's fragile. ethically it doesn't matter, but pragmatically it's a major difference.
All this does is convinced me that Shazam should have been the first Superboy he should have been mentored by Superman from the very beginning he should have had the same arc as Superboy
If anybody has the money and prestige to adopt it would be Mr. Morris of WHIZ radio. Billy is the radio stations cash cow and this is the logical way. Mary Batson's adopted family are rich, they could adopt also. That keeps it in the Fawcett Comics family. It's funny to me that DC comics has always pushed the poor lonely waif narrative on Billy.
Tbf, he's usually a single kid pretending to be an adult, fighting amongst gods and monsters and every single day could be his last despite him just being an untrained child. Adding that just makes it look even sadder....and comic writers dont like people staying happy...
@@rolandbush8463 Oh trust me in this regard at the very least, writers (for comics and the bigwigs behind them) don't like anyone being happy and will butcher everything about a character to push a certain idea of a character for better or for worse. Whether it be a moment of weakness into 50 years of abuse or turning someone that is the embodiment of hope into the world's biggest edgelord, or even sacrificing everything the previous year of comics built up only to throw it all away to keep the status quo, they do not care. Shazam will just be another one in the long list of comics/characters they've done this sort of thing to. ...and I kinda hate it...
We keep judging timeless material by today’s standards. Wizard is from ancient Egypt. He knows his champion will live thousands of years. His first choice was corrupted. Purity of heart is essential this time. Billy’s age and circumstances are irrelevant. I would not listen to someone from 1923 scold me. Wizard should not let this era’s hero question his generations of wisdom.
And then child protective services will show up regularly to check on Billy and if he’s not there it could lead to some unwanted attention from the law. The reason Bruce Wayne gets away with it is because he pays them off and no one has a second thought
It's kind of a hypocrite thing because he freaks out on the wizard for bringing a kid into this but yet he's never said anything to Batman for the amount of kids that he's brought in
There's another comic where Clark brings up he'd like to be a foster dad to a kid in trouble but Batman explains to him why it wouldn't be feasible for Clark. At this point in his life, he lives in a one bedroom apartment, is a single man, works as an on call journalist so he couldn't be home constantly to take care of a kid, all things that CPS turn potential foster parents down for.
So the Wizard chose little Billy to give the immense power and responsibility of being the hero Shazam aka Captain Marvel and hoped on the off chance that SuperMan would be his mentor? That was a big gamble the Wizard took that all this would line up for Billy 🤦♂️ jeeez
It would be pretty awesome if he frequently stayed at the Kent household, it would be a great opportunity for action backed and comedic Situations, plus it would be positive for him is that he would be around kids who are in similar situations to him, that be Clarks and Lois kids.
He should continue and do the bad boy approach with the nice guy attire and the nice guy approach with the bad guy attire. The comparisons then would be more interesting.
Wow, went from having his own book with extended family and giving supes competition in sales to always being second fiddle to supes to being killed by him and now this.

I'm surprised batman didn't show up with a robin application
Wait until he finds out about injustice superman 😂
Superman showing a young boy his costume(not his bare chest) under what is essentially a disguise isn’t “creepy”.
Nico Robin: Please don't use Superman in pedo jokes, like EVER!!!
Imagine if Clark adopted billy
Why is Shazam’s ankles so skinny in the panel halfway through the video💀
He's just showing Billy his S symbol, calm down dude

Supes: Yeah its a sad thing Shazam is actually a kid living along in the projects and-
Bruce: *Foaming at the mouth* How good can he do backflips? Doesn't matter, ALFRED GET THE PAPERWORK
00:31 Yeah. And then this "injustice thing" happens and sup just ki... oh, wrong place 😂
