Gosh what a handsome man
There's something I've been meaning to say since the first JL trailer dropped way back when, but now that I've seen the Heroes Trailer...
Momoa doesn't really look like he's gonna impress me as Aquaman. I'm still relatively new to the Aquaman character, my familiarity with him stemming from DC: Rebirth. That Aquaman I like, a guy who is diplomatic, intelligent, and level-headed and...well, clean cut
I feel like WB were so hell-bent on breaking away from the "dumb fish talker" image of Aquaman, they deliberately chose a guy who, while a decent enough actor, looks like a barbarian. That isn't Aquaman to the best of my knowledge (though someone else feel free to correct me), and when I saw that Heroes trailer, ugh...
"MAH MAN!!!"; *lands on Batmobile (somehow, out of freaking nowhere)* "YEAH!"
I...wat? I know this all moot at this point, but I just wanted to say it out loud.
Well the look is certainly there. What about his personality?
That's what the Brave & the Bold image is for when he starts coming off like a surfer bro. There's also some New 52 standoff-ish demeanor within the confines of a guy who ferociously believes he's the greatest if I recall correctly.
Geez. No wonder people didn't like it.
Talking about the latter or former or that combo of the two?
Heard he starts off kinda in the New 52 vein, although clearly not quite because reshoots and ends in that flamboyant surfer hero.
Yeah, I liked him quite a bit. Mera seems promising as well. Can't believe they initially cut the Mera and Arthur scene in JL.
