ā€œ I like being a hero. ā€ž
~ Shazam
ā€œ I may be young, but I'm not just a kid--if you know what I mean. I've got the wisdom of Solomon... ...the strength of Hercules... ...the stamina of Atlas... ...the power of Zeus... ...the courage of Achilles... ...and the speed of Mercury. Put it all together and you've got SHAZAM! ā€ž
~ Shazam
ā€œ Shazam: No ...no! There have to be limits. Even on us. Especially on us!
Superman: That's enough!
Shazam: We can't do this. Have you gone nuts? Lois would never want--

~ Shazam's last words.

Billy Batson, also known as Shazam, is a supporting antagonist in the Injustice franchise.

He is one of many superheroes who have joined Superman's One Earth Regime. His hero-worship of Superman making him assume that Superman must be justified in his actions. But as time passes, this certainty begins to disappear as more and more Shazam starts to doubt the justness of the Regime's cause. He ends up questioning the Regime at the cost of his own life.

He was voiced by Joey Naber, who also voiced Black Adam in the same franchise.

Trivia[]

  • Superman's killing of Shazam is widely considered to be the Man of Steel's Moral Event Horizon crossing, as the act is made even worse when one remembers that Shazam is actually a young teenager in an adult's body. Other factors include that Billy was loyal to Superman even before the Regime, he was trying to talk Superman down from crossing the line, and he saved Clark's life only hours before as well as two more times in the comics.

  • In the film, he remains neutral, not joining Superman or Batman and remains alive.
