San Diego Comic-Con 2018 is in full swing, and as usual the show floor is packed with cool things to see. With Marvel Studios basically sitting out Comic-Con this year, Warner Bros. is taking advantage of their absence by hyping up their upcoming DC films, notably Aquaman and Shazam!. While the Warner Bros. panel isn’t until Saturday (where we’re expecting to see first trailers for both movies), the studio has offered a tease of both films on the show floor in the form of superhero costumes.
Indeed, Collider’s own Steve Weintraub walked the floor and snapped some pictures of the Aquaman and Shazam! costumes, which you can see in closer detail below. Much has been made about Zachary Levi’s Shazam! costume, but it looks pretty nifty up close. Indeed, this is a child’s version of what a superhero is/looks like, so in my book that costume’s pretty spot on.
On the Aquaman side, there’s a closer look at Mera’s (Amber Heard) costume, as well as another costume that’s mighty pointy. Check out the images below, and stay tuned to Collider in the coming days for much more on these films and everything else Comic-Con-related.
Aquaman hits theaters on December 21st and Shazam! opens on April 5, 2019.

And here’s the official synopsis for Shazam!:
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).
