Do you watch Justice League Unlimited? I think he was in one episode or something (he joins the league then clashes with Superman over some ideological issue). _________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.

I was in fear as I thought they were making a sequel to the awful Kazaam!
(I had to see in twice in theaters, and hated it both times!)

Captain Marvel always struck me as the poor man's Superman. Not a bad character in and of itself, but basically Superman trumps everything he can do, including the Clark Kent/Superman psychology.
Which is to say they might make money off this, as it's not like Captain Marvel doesn't have a following, its just nothing compared to Superman.
Agree with BKB, this is not the brightest idea, though perfectly in character for Hollywood.
