Comics Shazam & DCEU Shazam
Summary The Rock of Eternity from Shazam lore finds its new home in the unlikeliest of places: a subway system. In an homage to the already buried DCEU, Billy Batson, otherwise known as the Champion of Shazam — or, more recently, the Captain — wakes next to this magical source of indescribable power just under everyone's feet. This is a place of secret magic, similarly seen in the live-action adaptation of Shazam where Billy Batson first meets the Wizard and becomes Shazam.
Not only has DC been updating Shazam's magic, but down here, the Rock of Eternity has now transformed from a solid, physical object into a fluid nexus of magical power, constantly on the move underneath everything - much like a subway, an important location in the first Shazam! movie from the now-defunct DCEU.
DC's New Shazam Lore Pays Homage to the DCEU's Shazam Asher Angel as Billy Batson in Shazam! Even though there is little hope for Shazam 3 in DC's rebooted movie universe, Shazam! still holds its place as the brilliant peak in the brief tenure of the now-finished DCEU. Early in the film, a young Billy Batson sits in an otherwise empty subway car as it starts to rock, and the lights start to blink.
There, Billy Batson is chosen to become the avatar for Shazam and is imbued with the magic of the six gods that make up his name. Back in the day, it took a lot of magic and rituals to get to a new world. Now, it's a matter of a cheap fare and a few stops. Shazam is even embracing this modernity of transportation by getting his very own Batmobile in the comics.
