DC have realized the marketing potential of Captain Marvel but they're also plebs who can't appreciate his rogues so they rely on Sivana, Black Adam, and mediocre OCs.
He's too nice and corny, unlike Black Adam, who is edgy and serious.
That's how DC seems to think at least, why else would they ignore Billy while constantly using Adam over and over?
Well, he uses both in the current Priest book, everyone refers to him as Theo, but he also says he's "Theo Teth-Adam", so I've no idea what that is about.

I can think of a number of reasons >Edgy writers like the idea of writing a villain/anti hero >His gods don't clash why the stablished Greek pantheon mythos from the rest of DC >Writes don't like the more light hearted Billy >Adam is Adam 24/7 so they can write just about his exploits without going to some civilian life status quo.
>mistakes into miracles
Margot Robby in shazam II would have at least made for an entertaining dumpsterfire. On brand for the "tone" and subversive quirky degeneracy of the Gunn suicide squad reboot, peacemaker, etc.
Got, anon.
Got.
He was supposed to change the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe.

DC likes the idea of Captain Marvel but only as a morally gray dictator of his own country.
I really like that Bat armor. Looks like a mix between DKR and Batman vs Predator.
Because he's actually cool and badass unlike Billy.
>he doesn't think Billy is cool and badass

Don't you have a country to run Teth?
Is he Theo Adam or Teth-Adam?
I'm pretty sure from the 2000s on it was Teth-Adam, during the 80s/90s it was Theo but also Teth it was complicated

Now everyone just calls him The Rock.
No one does that.
Not after the flop of the movie and the Rock ran back to Disney and the Fast & the Furious franchise.
Remember Osiris?
I liked the idea that an anon had from a bit ago where Black Adam would function as a Vegeta-like rival for Superman.
Superman already has Zod.
Zod is a villain.
Black Adam isn't a Superman character Dwayne.
They’re both DC characters that exist in the same universe.
Evil Superman is popular and Black Adam is one of the executions of the trope they havent fricked up yet.

Black Adam is just a cooler idea than Shazam. You already have Superman anyways.
Superman isn't magic based, the only similarity is that they're both flying bricks.
They know what they need to lean into to make Billy an interesting character
Injustice was a mistake.

All mistakes actually.
