Freddy Freeman: If you could have one superpower, what would you pick? Everybody chooses flight. You know why?
Billy Batson: So they can fly away from this conversation?
Freddy Freeman: What are your superpowers?
Shazam: Superpowers? Dude, I don't even know how to pee in this thing.
Rosa Vasquez: Please don't say anything weird to Billy.
Freddy Freeman: You mean like how the Romans used to brush their teeth with their own urine?
Freddy Freeman: All right, well, I feel like every criminal is either on drugs or asleep by now. Wanna head home?
Shazam: Looking like this?
Freddy Freeman: Well, yeah, I mean, usually, we'd have a lair to go back to, but that's long-term. Right now, we have a bunk bed.
Billy Batson: Shazam!
The Wizard: Billy Batson, I choose you as champion.
Answer: He went out of his way to protect his new foster brother, who's disabled mind you, when he was being picked on by the Steven King novel bullies. He showed he had some virtue. And, on top of that, his other behavior, like stealing the police car, while bad, did have a noble reason behind it of him trying to find his mother. So he wasn't perfect, but he had some virtue. And, as the old wizard said, he was out of time and Billy was his last choice.
