The island is supposed to be safe from the prying eyes of man. Just as the wizard uses the power of Shazam he’s harnessed from the gods to seal off the god realm, Zeus uses his own power to create Themyscira. He and his power should have been contained, creating a plot hole in the timeline of events. Ares shouldn’t have been able to walk among mortals that entire time and spread his ideas of fear, anger, and hate, leading to massive wars throughout history. If all the gods, as the Daughters of Atlas claim, were locked away in the god realm together thousands of years earlier when the wizard took power from them, Ares should have been locked away as well since WWI is only about 100 years before the events of Shazam. It does beg the question though of just how Ares (David Thewlis) was able to battle Diana in the first movie. Diana being thousands of years old might be a bit far-fetched, but it’s not impossible in the DCEU. It also means that Diana inherited at least some godly power from her father, like her ability to fly and not be harmed by lightning. Zeus would have had to create Themyscira ( which is getting its own HBO Max show) as a safe haven for the Amazons, father a child, and battle Ares in the War of the Gods, all before the wizard created the staff with the powers of Shazam. If he sealed the gods away in their own realm thousands of years prior, that means that Diana is thousands of years old. Wonder Woman being the daughter of Zeus, however, completely defies the wizard’s history. This makes the existence of gods in the DCEU prior to Billy breaking the staff impossible for the last few thousand years at the very least. Sivana (Mark Strong) in the first movie that the barrier between the god realm and the mortal realm is broken. It’s only after Billy Batson breaks the staff during a battle with Dr. When he did, he used to staff to seal the god realm away. When he assembled the powers of Shazam in his staff, he took power from each of the gods or demigods (Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury) to create it. The Daughters of Atlas provide a story about the gods that calls the powers existing in the mortal realm into question.Īccording to the trio, the gods have been sealed into a separate realm completely by the wizard. These fantastic abilities, like those that make up the powers of Shazam, are only available to the gods unless someone has a special artifact like the wizard's (Djimon Hounsou) staff. The variant covers for issues 1-4 from Dan Mora will connect to form a larger image which serves as a homage to X-Men #1 by Jim Lee and Scott Williams.ĭCeased: War of the Undead Gods #1 (of 8) will be available at comic shops as well as participating digital platforms on Tuesday, August 9 and will release monthly.In Shazam: Fury Of The Gods, the powers of the gods are no longer present in the mortal realm. The debut issue of DCeased: War of the Undead Gods will feature a main card stock cover from Hairsine as well as variant covers from Dan Mora, Kael Ngu, Francesco Mattina, and Sun Khamunaki. "The emergence of a reborn, undead Darkseid in DCeased: Dead Planet sets the stage for the most devastating conflict yet for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman! As the Anti-Life Equation spreads into the cosmos, the survivors of Earth prepare for the coming apocalypse and realize their only hope could lie in the most powerful surviving hero from the first DCeased series."Īnd while zombie series have a habit of coming back to life, DC has confirmed that DCeased: War of the Undead Gods will be the final chapter of the series. "What began as a battle for Earth has become a war for the galaxy!," reads DC's description of DCeased: War of the Undead Gods.
