Shazam Director Says There Hasn’t Been a Conversation About a Black Adam Crossover
Despite being comic book nemeses, Shazam and Black Adam don’t appear to be crossing paths any time soon despite both characters having upcoming movies in the works at DC.
“There hasn’t really been a conversation about that,” says Shazam Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg when asked by Collider if there are any plans to finally pit Zachary Levi’s Shazam against Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam.
“I know, at the moment, Black Adam is sort of its thing and Shazam is its thing. Then we’ll see where it all goes in the future, but I haven’t really been a part of any conversations like that.”
In the comics, Black Adam is the first champion chosen by the Wizard, something that was alluded to in the 2019 Shazam film. This origin story will be further explored in the Black Adam solo film coming later this year.
While Sandberg’s comments hint that there may be a crossover at some point, it’s a bit strange that these two characters still won’t crossover with each other. But considering how well the first Shazam movie handled its origin story without Black Adam, perhaps it’s not such a huge roadblock.
With the DC film universe going their seemingly separate ways, there doesn’t appear to be an appetite to re-create the MCU at Warner Bros. The Batman starring Robert Pattinson launched its own series, while the Snyderverse keeps on chugging with the news that Ben Affleck’s Batman will appear in Aquaman 2.

Milestone Generations: New Documentary Details the Rise and Rebirth of Milestone Comics
The revival of DC's Milestone Comics imprint continues with the release of the brand-new documentary film called Milestone Generations, which debuts July 29th on HBO Max.
The film, directed by Justice A. Whitaker and narrated by Cliff “Method Man” Smith, features new interviews with Milestone co-founder Denys Cowan and archival footage of Cowan's fellow co-founder, the late Dwayne McDuffie. Other key comics industry voices including Paul Levitz and former DC Comics publisher Jenette Kahn are also interviewed, offering insight on the massive influence Milestone wielded during its brief '90s heyday thanks to titles like Icon, Hardware, Blood Syndicate and Static.
In addition, the film chronicles 2021's relaunch of the Milestone banner by DC and the Milestone Initiative, a program to identify, support and elevate emerging diverse writers and artists within the comic book world.
Co-founder Denys Cowan told IGN during a conversation at SDCC that the documentary offers validation for the trailblazing work Milestone did in addressing the lack of storytellers of color in the comics industry. "It's something I'm very proud of, what we did," Cowan told IGN.
While representation remains an issue for comics publishers today, the lack of diversity was even more pronounced back in the Bronze Age. Even when African-American heroes like Luke Cage and Black Lightning were launched in the 1970s, white creators often handled the storytelling.
In the documentary, Cowan relates a story of how a conversation with comics legend Jim Steranko in 1989 planted the seed in his mind that would help give birth to Milestone.
"I shared this story in the film, how Jim Steranko had been approached by a major comics publisher and asked to create black comic book characters," Cowan recalls. "Jim came up to me [at a comics show] in New York City and said, "I don't think I'm the right man for the job. Do you know who might be?" And that was like a light bulb going off for me."
That talk with Steranko, whom Cowan considers a huge influence, showed the artist that the opportunity existed to fill a vacuum in comics. A few years later, Milestone would be created to do just that.
Milestone Generations is available to stream now on HBO Max.

TikTok Is Piloting Gaming Inside the App
TikTok is at last ready to join its social media cohorts Facebook and Snapchat in offering baked-in video games, and is apparently piloting its new program with a handful of developers already.
As reported by TechCrunch, TikTok has partnered with developers such as Voodoo, Nitro Games, FRVR, Aim Lab, and Lotum to make games built into TikTok - HTML5 minigames that users can play within the app and discover through videos they're watching. Think hypercasual mobile games - don't expect to be playing God of War as you browse cooking fail videos.
As the feature rolls out, creators will be able to find an option to link videos to a minigame on the screen before they publish a new video, where they add hashtags, links, descriptions, and other information. Viewers are then able to click through the video to the game. The feature is currently in the process of being soft launched across different global markets and is not yet available everywhere.
The available games at launch are as follows:
- Basketball FRVR (FRVR)
- Tap the Difference (Lotm)
- Peek a Who (Nitro)
- Pride Run (Voodoo)
- Influencer Run (Voodoo)
- Space Destroyer (Nitro)
- Mr. Aim Lab's Nightmare (Aim Lab)
Currently, none of the games are monetized, and the initiative currently appears solely to gauge the taste of TikTok for such games, though that could always change.
TikTok initially began its gaming foray with the introduction of Disco Loco 3D, an endless runner created in collaboration with Zynga where players collect dance moves and challenge their friends. It's far from the first tech and social platform to make such a jump. Facebook has repeatedly revised its own take on a gaming section over the years, most recently with its move into cloud gaming and its Facebook Gaming web and Android app. Snapchat has similarly been working on in-app games with its Snap Games label for a few years now. And even Netflix has begun rolling its own games service, with plans to have nearly 50 games available by the end of this year.

Valve Has ‘Good News’ On Steam Deck Availability
Ever since Steam Deck was announced last summer, Valve's handheld has been defined by long queues and limited supply. That may soon be changing, though, as Valve announced today that it has some "good news" for prospective Steam Deck customers.
In a news post that went up this morning, Valve announced that it would be able to fulfill demand sooner than expected.
"Many of the supply chain shortfalls that affect Steam Deck are gradually clearing up, and we're continuing to ramp production, so we're able to produce more Decks faster than ever before," Valve said.
As a result, Valve is promising that everyone currently in the reservation queue will get their Steam Deck email "this year," with "many customers" who were in the Q4 or later window getting moved up to the Q3 window, which runs from July to September. New reservations will fall into the Q4 window. This follows Valve's promise to "double" the number of units it will ship.
Steam Deck has proven a hit with fans since its release in February. While Valve's handheld has been criticized for its screen quality, battery life, and occasional performance issues, it has also won praise for its flexibility and support.
We wrote in our Steam Deck review, "When the Steam Deck is living up to its promises, it's absolutely incredible. Playing GTA 5, God of War, and other modern games on the go is an absolute joy, and the hardware and controls feel good to hold even though it’s a big chubby boy of a handheld."
In the meantime, the list of verified Steam Deck games continues to grow. You can view the full list right here.

Destiny 2: Where Is Xur Today? Location and Exotic Items for July 29-August 2
The eldritch horror, Xur, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.
Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.
We've rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.
Where Is Xûr Today?
Xûr's location can be found at The Tower on July 29 through August 2. To reach him, travel to the landing point at The Courtyard and make your way to the Hangar. You'll find ol' snake-face chilling near the stairs at the back of the Hangar area.
What's Xûr Selling Today?
Xûr has at least one good find this week. Check out this exotic gear!
Exotic Engram
The Colony - Exotic Grenade Launcher
ST0MP-EE5 - Exotic Hunter Leg Armor
- 4 Mobility
- 22 Resilience
- 10 Recovery
- 9 Discipline
- 17 Intellect

- Total: 64
ACD/0 Feedback Fence - Exotic Titan Gauntlets
- 10 Mobility
- 8 Resilience
- 14 Recovery
- 12 Discipline
- 10 Intellect
- 6 Strength
- Total: 60
Karnstein Armlets - Exotic Warlock Gauntlets
- 19 Mobility
- 10 Resilience
- 3 Recovery
- 14 Discipline
- 7 Intellect
- 10 Strength
- Total: 63
Honestly, exotic armor strikes out this week with low stat rolls and not great stat distribution. Pick up the ST0MP-EE5 if you need them, or perhaps the grenade launcher on sale, but there's nothing you really need to have this week.
Exotic Weapons
Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon
- Paracausal Shot
- Arrowhead Brake
- Alloy Magazine
- Rangefinder
- Heavy Grip
Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle
- Cranial Spike
- Extended Barrel
- High-Caliber Rounds
- Vorpal Weapon
- Hand-Laid Stock
The roll for Dead Man's Tale this week is quite good! Vorpal weapon and High-Caliber Rounds make a great pair of perks for a weapon that's deadly in both PvE and PvP. I'd recommend picking this one up!
Legendary Weapons
Bad Omens - Rocket Launcher
- Confined Launch/ Smart Drift Control
- Alloy Casing/High-Velocity Rounds
- Tracking Module
- Cluster Bomb
- Blast Radius Masterwork
Toil and Trouble - Shotgun
- Barrel Shroud/Corkscrew Rifling
- Assault Mag/Extended Mag
- Threat Detector
- Snapshot Sights
- Reload Speed Masterwork
The Fool's Remedy - Sidearm

- Rampage
- Handling Masterwork
Empty Vessel - Grenade Launcher
- Confined Launch/Countermass
- Blinding Grenades/Implosion Rounds
- Surplus
- Swashbuckler
- Vanguard's Vindication
- Reload Speed Masterwork
Survivor's Epitaph - Hand Cannon
- Arrowhead Brake/Full Bore
- Extended Mag/Flared Magwell
- Surplus
- Kill Clip
- One Quiet Moment
- Impact Masterwork
This week's notable rolls include the Empty Vessel grenade launcher which comes with blinding grenades and the swashbuckler perk that could make it quite good, the Fraction Fire machinegun that has field prep and rampage that should make it deadly, and the Bad Omens rocket launcher which has got tracking module and cluster bombs that are always good for PvP and especially PvE.
Warlock Legendary Armor
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Lightkin set which includes:
Lightkin Gauntlets
- 24 Mobility
- 2 Resilience
- 2 Recovery
- 20 Discipline
- 2 Intellect
- 10 Strength
- Total: 60
Lightkin Chest Armor
- 12 Mobility
- 2 Resilience
- 17 Recovery
- 10 Discipline
- 2 Intellect
- 14 Strength
- Total: 57
Lightkin Helmet
- 2 Mobility
- 11 Resilience

- 16 Intellect
- 15 Strength
- Total: 63
Lightkin Leg Armor
- 2 Mobility
- 9 Resilience
- 16 Recovery
- 17 Discipline
- 9 Intellect
- 2 Strength
- Total: 55
Lightkin Bond
The Warlock armor this week is pretty rubbish! The gauntlets are very spikey in places, but even that is hardly worth buying.
Titan Legendary Armor
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Lightkin set which includes:
Lightkin Gauntlets
- 7 Mobility
- 19 Resilience
- 6 Recovery
- 11 Discipline
- 14 Intellect
- 2 Strength
- Total: 59
Lightkin Chest Armor
- 2 Mobility
- 2 Resilience
- 30 Recovery
- 24 Discipline
- 2 Intellect
- 2 Strength
- Total: 62
Lightkin Helmet
- 10 Mobility
- 2 Resilience
- 16 Recovery
- 14 Discipline
- 2 Intellect

- Total: 58
Lightkin Leg Armor
- 9 Mobility
- 2 Resilience
- 17 Recovery
- 13 Discipline
- 14 Intellect
- 2 Strength
- Total: 57
Lightkin Mark
Again, Titan armor is also underwhelming. The chest piece is extremely lopsided that could be good for buildcrafting, but with only 62 stats overall I doubt it's worth the trouble.
Hunter Legendary Armor
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Lightkin set which includes:
Lightkin Gauntlets
- 7 Mobility
- 10 Resilience
- 15 Recovery
- 14 Discipline
- 6 Intellect

Lightkin Leg Armor
- 8 Mobility
- 16 Resilience
- 8 Recovery
- 11 Discipline
- 2 Intellect
- 13 Strength
- Total: 58
Lightkin Cloak
Somehow Hunters have managed to do even worse than the other classes with zero interesting rolls -- seems legendary armor is a wash this week!
That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! What are you thoughts on Bungie's recent comments on implementing skill-based matchmaking in PvP? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! For more on Destiny, check out some of the new weapons and gear you can find in The Witch Queen and read about how Sony's purchase of Bungie fits into its larger plans.
