DC Showcase Original Shorts DVD & Blu-Ray Coming in November

New Superman/Shazam!: Return of Black Adam Short

Didn't feel like shelling out the extra money for the 2-disc versions or Blu-Rays of the recent DC Animated Film DVDs to get the bonus DC Showcase Presents shorts? In November Warner Premier is giving you another chance to pick them up with DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection. The single disc DVD and Blu-Ray features all three previous DC Showcase Presents shorts (The Spectre, Jonah Hex and Green Arrow) plus a new short - Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam.

In Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Back Adam, Clark Kent interviews Billy Batson, who has been chosen by the wizard "Shazam" to represent the good of mankind as the World's Mightiest Mortal. Billy will have to quickly say the old wizard's name to become Captain Marvel when he discovers he is being pursued by Black Adam, a centuries-old villain that will take both heroes to stop him. The star-studded cast includes Jerry O'Connell as Captain Marvel, George Newbern as Superman, Arnold Vosloo as Black Adam and James Garner as the Wizard.

“The DC Showcase allows us to expand the DC Universe with short stories based on intriguing characters – from a 1940s comics sensation like The Spectre to a creation of the 1970s like Jonah Hex – just begging to be presented to a very worthy fan base,” said Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment.
