September 7, 2010: Superman/Shazam: The Return Of Black Adam Receives PG-13 Rating
The MPAA has given "Superman/Shazam: The Return Of Black Adam" an official PG-13 rating, due to violence and some sexual content.
In Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam, Clark Kent's latest interview subject is street kid Billy Batson. What Clark doesn’t know is that Billy is more than a feisty kid with a lot of heart – he has been chosen by an ancient wizard to represent the good of man as the World’s Mightiest Mortal just by invoking the name of the wizard, "Shazam!" Billy’s powers come none-too-soon, as he also discovers he’s being pursued by a centuries’ old, murderous villain, Black Adam – a foe so powerful, even Superman can’t stop him alone. The all-star cast of Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam is led by Jerry O’Connell (Crossing Jordan) as Captain Marvel, George Newbern reprising his Justice League role as Superman, Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) as Black Adam and two-time Emmy Award® winner James Garner (8 Simple Rules) as The Wizard.
The 22-minute long short will be part of the new DC Animated Showcase Collection which will also feature extended editions of previous animated shorts The Spectre, Jonah Hex, and Green Arrow.
