Line #5 Recap/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBoldS2E10ThePowerOfShazam


1	-----
2	* BatmanGambit:
3	** Sivana's opening attack was just a smokescreen in order to get a sample of the mystic lightning, which is the last item he needs in order to find Black Adam and bring him to Earth.
4	** Batman can't beat the powered up Sivana, so he exploits him being a pompous know-it-all.
5	--->'''Batman:''' You may have a mortal like me beat, but you'll never be as all-powerful as the wizard Shamaz.\
6	'''Sivana:''' Bat-brained idiot! It's Shazam! [[OhCrap Oh, no, wait!]] [''lightning returns him to normal'']
7	* BullyHunter: Batman sees the two bullies picking on Billy and scares them away.
8	* ButterFace: Dr. Sivana becomes a male example in his Captain Sivana form. He gains a HeroicBuild, but his goblin-like face and ears remain the same.
9	* ChekhovsGun: Sivana still has the mystic lightning sample after Black Adam arrives on Earth. He uses it during the climax to revert Black Adam to a human form and get him out of the way.
10	* CurbStompBattle: When Dr. Sivana becomes Captain Sivana, he wipes the floor with Captain Marvel.
11	* DirtyCoward: The two bullies pick on Billy, but immediately panic and run away when confronted by Batman.
12	* DivideAndConquer: In the teaser, the Faceless Hunter attacks and subdues numerous heroes.
13	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Thanks to Batman, Billy is reunited with his sister and gets adopted.
14	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Averted. Starro recognizes that "a planet of heroes" could put up substantial resistance, so the Faceless Hunter is tasked with subduing them.
15	* EvilCounterpart: The Wizard notes that Black Adam was a champion, but not at all like Billy. Dr. Sivana briefly becomes an evil counterpart to Captain Marvel as well, after he steals Black Adam’s powers and becomes Captain Sivana.
16	* FingerPokeOfDoom: Captain Sivana sends Batman flying backwards by flicking him. After Batman tricks him into de-powering himself, [[LaserGuidedKarma Captain Marvel takes him down with the same move]].
17	* FlatScare: When the two bullies see Batman, he sends them running away just by saying “Boo”.
18	* ImmuneToMindControl: Red Tornado is the only featured hero not susceptible to Starro's mind control, so the Faceless Hunter blows him up and leaves the pieces on the ground.
19	* {{Jerkass}}: The two bullies.
20	* KidsAreCruel: Billy’s orphanage has two other boys who bully him, until Batman puts a stop to it.
21	* MythologyGag: Miss Minerva, the head of the orphanage, resembles and is named for Aunt Minerva, one of Captain Marvel's Pre-Crisis villains.
22	** Sivana's initial scheme is to block all broadcasts. That was his plan in the first ''Captain Marvel'' comic '''ever'''.
23	* NeverMyFault: Black Adam is outraged over his banishment, which was brought about by his own actions.
24	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Batman admits to Billy that he understands his need for family.
25	* NotSoSimilar: Billy/Captain Marvel feels a kinship with Black Adam, due to the symbols on their chests. He learns the hard way that feeling is misplaced.
26	* OhCrap: Sivana upon realising that Batman has tricked him into saying Shazam.
27	* OrphansPlotTrinket: Billy's broken heart locket. His sister, Mary, has one with the other half of the heart.
28	* PetTheDog: Seeing Captain Marvel so depressed about not having a family, Batman looks into the deaths of the Batsons, finds Billy's missing twin sister, Mary, and takes her and her adopted parents to Billy so they can adopt him.
29	* PrecociousCrush: Dr. Sivana’s daughter, Georgia, has a crush on Captain Marvel, even though she’s a kid and he’s (physically) an adult.
30	* ProperlyParanoid: Thaddeus Jr. suspects that Black Adam won't share the world once he gets what he wants. Sivana, however, has already anticipated that.
31	* SoProudOfYou: Shazam congratulates Captain Marvel for defending the Rock of Eternity.
32	* ToBeContinued: Like the other Starro-related teasers. This one ends with the Faceless Hunter having a sizable army of mind-controlled heroes and cutting to this.
33	* UnwittingPawn: Black Adam was just Sivana's means of claiming Shazam's power for himself.
34	* VillainExitStageRight: In all the confusion of the final fight, Black Adam snuck off.
35	* VillainProtagonist: The teaser puts the Faceless Hunter in the lead and is even narrated by him.
36	* VillainRespect: The Faceless Hunter admits the different heroes he's faced fought bravely.
37	* VillainTeamUp: Sivana brokers a deal with Black Adam to destroy their common foes, but he also plans to betray him once he gets what he's really after.
38	* VillainessesWantHeroes[=/=]VillainousCrush: Georgia has a crush on Captain Marvel, begging her father to let her have him. She gets over it once she sees Marvel's true form.
39	* WoundedGazelleGambit: Sivana has Black Adam fight the heroes and feign being forced to flee. It's all to secretly hit Captain Marvel with a tracking device so they can later follow the heroes to Shazam, but Black Adam finds the experience so infuriating.
40	* YankTheDogsChain:
41	-->'''Shazam:''' Captain, what troubles you?\
