| Jason Momoa as Aquaman |
Today director Zack Snyder tweeted the first official photo of
Jason Momoa as Aquaman (The tweet: There is only one true King. #unitetheseven). What “Unite The Seven” means is unknown at
this time. Perhaps is signifies the seven best members of the Justice League. If so, the inclusion of Aquaman is a surprise
as this DC Comics character does not have a very good on-screen history. Or the
words are a reference to Aquaman’s rule
over the seven seas. If this is the
case, it would be interesting to see an Aquaman movie that is independent of
the other Justice League members and dealt solely with other underwater dwellers
and aqua-villains endangering Aquaman’s rule. |
True, Momoa looks awesome and dangerous as the hero of the
seas, but will the initial story be strong enough to draw and hold movie goers who
would want to see sequels. A possible way that this 2018 film can become a hit
is that Aquaman becomes just as ruthless in saving his underwater kingdom as
Superman had to become in the 2013 hit movie ‘Man of Steel’.
The character of Aquaman has been described at Aquaman
DC’s Database Wiki as the following:

Aquaman, also known
as Arthur
Curry and Orin, is
a superhero and the ruler of the seas. As the king of Atlantis and
other undersea territories, he technically controls most of the planet. His
abilities include super-strength, durability, super-speed, staying underwater
indefinitely, and telepathy, which he uses to communicate with sea-life. His
aquatic nature means he requires water regularly at the risk of dehydration,
although he is perfectly capable of staying on land for extended periods. The
Aquaman
Family also includes his wife Mera and his side-kicks Aqualad and Aquagirl, along
with a number of others, fighting together against villains.
He is also a founding member of the Justice
League of America. Arthur Joseph Curry was his
successor after the original died, and had his own adventures for several
years, until Orin was resurrected during Blackest
Night and reclaimed his title. Aquaman
was created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris,
first appearing in More
Fun Comics #73. (1941)

As stated above Aquaman is scheduled for release in 2018.
