It's interesting that there is a Shazam movie coming out this year as well, considering he was the original Captain Marvel. He was in Whiz Comics, owned by Fawcett. DC sued them, claiming Captain Marvel was too much like Superman and Fawcett stopped publishing it. The copyright on the name lapsed and Marvel swooped in to claim it. DC wound up with the rights to the old Fawcett characters but they have to call Captain Marvel "Shazam" now.
I used to like the Shazam/Isis hour on CBS Saturday mornings as a lad, but I have a feeling they aren't bringing back Isis any time soon.
