Love DC and Marvel, so naturally these old serials have flashed across my screen. The first Batman serial was quite enjoyable, I kinda stalled after the second episode of Batman and Robin though, need to get back to it. Found some Roku channels that also have The Green Hornet, Captain America, Superman and Captain Marvel.
Brie Larson will be playing the Marvel character of Captain Marvel, DC owns Captain Marvel/Shazam, who is still a male character. For decades they fought over the rights to the name "Captain Marvel " because the character originally belonged to Fawcett Comics and when DC bought the character they may or may not have also bought his name. Marvel by this time, had already created their Captain Marvel. Last I heard, DC gave up and have rebranded Captain Marvel as simply "Shazam." There was until recently a Shazam movie planned, but it got shelved, and the villain, Black Adam, to be played by Dwayne Johnson, will now battle Superman in Man of Steel 2 instead.
