Another Nod To “Batman” In SHAZAM!? (Unless It’s Not — And It’s NOT!)

UPDATE 2: Per my friends over at CAPTAIN MARVEL TALK! say that it’s been confirmed that the news van is part of TITANS filming, not SHAZAM! 

UPDATE: Several BOF’ers have let me know that the TITANS TV series is also filming in Toronto.  Maybe this WKUD news truck from Gotham City is from that show and not SHAZAM!?  If so, my super-awesome and cool way to make SHAZAM! part of the DC on film universe, but not make it part of the DC on film universe might still be in play!  The original report is below. – “Jett”

*sigh*

I guess my super-awesome and cool way to make SHAZAM! part of the DC on film universe, but not make it part of the DC on film universe will not come to pass.

Below you’ll find an image taken on the streets of Toronto by blogTO.com showing a WKUD news truck.  And just where is WKUD located?  That would be Gotham City, of course.  Here’s their tweet…

While I’d rather SHAZAM! just be its own thing in its own crazy universe, I’m still tremendously excited for this film. However, I’m not sure if I’m down knowing that Batman lives in a world where taking tigers and a worm is an evil geniuses exist. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
