Superhero Movie Update: SHAZAM! / The Spirit

Captain Marvel Moves to Warner Bros. Source:Variety November 20, 2008
Variety reports that Get Smart director Peter Segal and his Callahan Filmworks partner Michael Ewing have signed a three-year first-look deal with Warner Bros. Pictures.
As part of the deal, Warner Bros. has also acquired the John August-scripted Captain Marvel; Segal will direct the DC Comics adaptation. He and Ewing began working on the film two years ago at New Line, but the property has moved over to Warner Bros. The film tells the story of teenaged Billy Batson, who transforms into the superhero when he says the word "Shazam!" (I can't wait!)
The Spirit Coming to Theaters on Christmas Day! Will Eisner's superhero from the 1940s finally comes to life in this action-packed movie. I'm not really familiar with him, (read only one comic from the 1940s), but he looks interesting. In appearance, he looks like the Green Hornet with overcoat, hat and mask. Set in the 1940s (I think) this trailer looks great! http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809838857/video
