Where it fits in the DC universe

Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam is listed as a DC production, but its continuity has not yet been assigned. It is not placed in a shared story timeline. A familiar character or actor does not establish a connection to another adaptation, so no prerequisite is inferred from that alone. Its viewing placement will be updated when its continuity is confirmed.
