Yeah. She is very well defined by her hair color. I would have issue if they changed that.

Honestly though...Aquaman isn't iconic for his look. He's known by it but it's his powers that make the character. Not his look.

I'd actually say Aquaman is iconic for his Superfriends look.

His design now sticks more closely to that type of look, as opposed to the barbarian style from the 1990s-2000s and the animated series.

I think the biggest known thing about Aquaman is that he can telepathically talk to fish. Even pop culture knows he can talk to fish.

Aquaman is fine. I love it. Batman is, well Batman. Superman though, is disappointing because the suit looks great in the behind-the-scenes features. The problem is Snyder doubled up. In person the red/blue are already muted and then the whole film gets layered with filters making the colors even more dull.

I mean if he's gonna filter the shit out of the movie(which we know he will), he needs to work the other way in the color spectrum on set. Brighter, bolder colors.

I don't care if they made the rest of the league wear black costumes. Let Superman and the Flash wear their normal colors and I would be completely happy.

It would be so sweet if the first shot we get of Superman in this film is in that suit without desaturated coloring. It also makes for a better contrast when we get the inevitable pose down:

This is where a certain member would have posted a large image proclaiming that Aquaman doesn't talk to fish.

I think every kid who used to watch Superfriends in the 70's would go nuts if the movie showed the same effects and sound they used in the series when he talked to fish. I know it's corny as shit but it would be awesome at the same time.

i just saw the animated Justice League: Throne of Atlantis and they used the same effect -- expanding concentric circles with the wha-wha-wha sound.

so i imagine momoa will look like this but on a different...scale

People can't even agree what his powers are. He talks to fish. No he forces them to do his will. But wait he can talk to other animals besides fish, so maybe he can talk to everything that lives in the ocean? Plus he swims real fast. And he can shoot bubbles in the ocean. And he doesn't know how many prongs a trident has. And sometimes he loses his hand and replaces it with a hook or a hand made out of water.

I'd think his orange look is more iconic, if only because of Super Friends, as others have said. Going away from that is probably an attempt to go away from all the jokes that look and powerset entailed, so that's fine. I mean, I think Wonder Woman's look is more iconic than his, and they kept very little of that.

See I don't think the Wonder Woman costume is that bad. It basically is just the more modernized look she's had in comics for a while with a more muted color palette. The basic look of her costume is there and I think it looks fine.

I just hope there is a scene where Momoa-Aquaman-Rob Zombie is communicating with fish and Superman, Wonderman, Flash, Batman and Cyborg are laughing hysterically on the floor.

Then Momoa see's a cute dolphin and signals with his has hand "call me".

I want this to happen to a villain who mocks him for "talking to fish".

Hans Zimmer never disappoints. In Zimmer we trust.

It's silly to think that Aquaman is uniting the seven seas lol. I don't think Grodd will be in this movie but you never know. The Flash will probably be Barry Allen because of the CW TV show but maybe they're aiming the Flash being Wally West instead. But since they already cast an actor for the part, it probably won't be Wally since Wally is now black in the New52. The new Flash actor is not black.

Speaking of colors, there are various colors of Kryptonite including Green, Red, Gold, Blue and even Pink. But the Pink Kryptonite was probably a joke. I mean, really people. Pink Kryptonite? Kryptonite will probably not be in BvS. But maybe it will.

Why are all of you so focused on muted colors anyways? It's like beating a dead horse to death.
The posters tag name was Taffer....the guy on the photo is John Taffer from Bar Rescue who walks and acts like a gorilla. Hence Gorilla Taffer. Thanks for the reminder on Gorilla Grodd though. Always found him to be a weird DC villain.
