Maybe Momoa will slim down much the same way that Gadot has bulked up.

TGM

No, Aquaman is not a water elemental. He swims really fast and can rock a mean beard when he wants.

William Fuld

Can Sea King control all fish or just evil fish?

fumanstan

I knew as soon as Aquaman was mentioned we'd get the usual defense that Aquaman is supposedly cool now Looking forward to seeing him control water! Go Sea Man!

I'm surprised we haven't gotten a thread title change with S: Momoa instead of Gadot.

slop101

He's got a more appropriate build for WW than Gadot.

Sonic

Someone please change the title to:

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Clusterfuck

avengers > MOS

I found Avengers to have more inspirational scenes and heroic moments that MOS didn't have at all. MOS is as bland as water my friend.

Hokeyboy

Oh no! Opinions!!

RocShemp

Calvin & Hobbes are in this movie too?

Michael Corvin

If he swims really fast could he not create a typhoon of sorts?

stingermck

His wife Mera can control water to an extent:


From DC's site:

Aquaman has always been cool. Only lame people who know nothing of the character think he isn't cool.

Fun fact: When DC did the New 52 reboot back in 2011, Aquaman was in the top ten selling titles for several months straight. Marvel didn't have a single title in the top ten. That means Aquaman was outselling Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, etc. The streak was only broken when Marvel started the Avengers vs X-Men crossover event because events always top the sales chart.

Agreed. Aquaman has always been cool. IMO it was the Super Friends cartoon and SNL's sketches that made him 'uncool' to the public.

Plus the simple fact he is supporting 2 titles now, shows his popularity is high.

taffer

Yeah, I never in a million years would have ever thought Aquaman would be popular enough to get a second ongoing title. Heck, I don't think Wonder Woman or Flash ever had two simultaneous ongoing titles before. I think only Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern have ever had multiple simultaneous titles.

Solid Snake

Super Friends made him pretty pathetic. Well it made them all pretty damn shitty but Aquaman became the pop culture bitch more from that from what I remember.

Thank god Bruce Timm made the JLA awesome for TV.

Because of shit like the SF is what made him, as I heard growing up, gay... Lol.

fumanstan

I know when I try and figure out what's cool, I look to the opinion of a few thousand comic book fans!

Which is funny, as I always thought comic book fans hated that interpretation of the "hook hand" Aquaman as trying too hard to make him cooler.

taffer

If you want to know what comics/superheroes are cool, then yes you would ask comic book fans. You wouldn't ask a sports fan that question.

If the question was instead what sports teams are cool, then you would ask a sports fan, but you wouldn't ask a comic book fan that question.

The hook hand happened in the comics too in the early 90s. Aquaman lost the ability to communicate with fish, and piranhas ate his hand. Seriously. It was better than it sounds. The writer during the early 90s was Peter David who was a very good writer.

fumanstan

I'd probably ask my mom. Or Hokeyboy.

I know. I wasn't insinuating it was specific to the show.

Shazam

I hope the Wonder Twins make it in. And mildly-offensive giant Indian man.

Hokeyboy

I would say that the best take on Aquaman, EVER, was the Insufferable Blowhard from the Brave & The Bold cartoon. Now THAT guy could have his own animated series and I'd never miss an episode.

Solid Snake

I actually like that Aquaman.

I didn't like hook hand Aquaman either. The stories were fine for the most part but the visual was trying too hard to be cool.

devilshalo

Aquaman, the Scott Summers of the Justice League. A person who can handle the density of the ocean at great depths (where only Superman and maybe Wonder Woman could go).

taffer

It was the 90s. Everyone back then was getting new "cool" redesigns. Hook hand Aquaman was better than most. Electric blue Superman and Jean Paul Valley Batman were just plain bad.


What's that have to do with Cyclops?
