The signs are all good, I just really hope they don't balls-up something that could easily be fixed, like the scalloped cape or the black bat-symbol.
 
Multiple capes will be used, I'm sure.

We don't know for a fact that it isn't scalloped, or that it won't ever appear scalloped.
 
I just truly hope the bat insignia on his chest is black and not gray. There have been conflicting reports and no photographic evidence to put it to rest. I just can't imagine that they would not make the bat insignia black. I'm ready to call this suit the greatest one of all time, but I need to see if it's truly black and gray like the comic suit before I do.
 
I wouldn't worry about the symbol not being black, knowing Snyder. I'll be genuinely shocked if it's a gray symbol.

I saw the cape and cowl at NYCC, and I can tell you that that particular cape was scalloped. The cape was folded at the bottom because of length, but you could see the edges of the scallops. I have no doubt that, like theShape said, there are multiple capes used during filming. I hope the cape is mostly CG to give that dramatic cape porn we all loved from MOS.

I can't imagine any scenario where the insignia is gray. Gray on gray would be ridiculous... the insignia is going to be black, so the only way they could f-it-up at this point would be to give us yet another all-black outfit and that's not going to happen. Thing is though, there are no "conflicting reports". Some people have different opinions of the Batfleck pics; some seeing the suit as dark as the insignia. But we've all seen the same pics, some a better look than others, but outside of these there are no reports from anyone that say it's a gray insignia and what reports we do have point to the black and gray suit most of us expect.
 
From day dot I've been saying that the reason for it looking lighter than the cape/cowl in these photos is because it's a different material to the rest of the suit.

I do seem to remember one person who saw it said it was indeed scalloped, that it just wasn't obvious when he's just standing there. I believe it, because , as faithful to the details as Snyder has been with the suit so far, I can't see him ignoring the scalloped cape.
 
My faith in the "no way Snyder would..." comments has been shaken by the release of the AquaKhal image, frankly.

That was me. And I just wrote that again literally 3 posts ago lol.

What don't you like about it? I have mixed feelings myself.

I don't understand why. Whether or not you're a fan of the design, I'm surprised you wouldn't see this coming. Personally, what we got is exactly what I expected.

I'm fine with that because, honestly, I've always thought Aquaman's costume was a poor design. I was never a fan of it.

But so far, going off MOS and what I've seen of the Batsuit, I have no reason to doubt Synder's vision of Batman.

I don't think he would deviate with Batman the way he did with Aquaman for two reasons:

1. He is a big fan of Batman and so far has seemed to remain true to the established mythos.

2. Aquaman doesn't enjoy nearly as much popularity as Batman does so he had much more freedom to do whatever he wanted with the character.
 
This guy cant stop, really nice!

I have said much more elsewhere, but in short: it's crude, it borders self-satire, elements of it are absurd, it suggests radical subversion of the comics' Atlantean culture, and it has much less to do with Aquaman than it has to do with reincarnating Khal Drogo in the DCU.

For all that qualitative criticism, the point I am making here is that the Aquaman design reveals that Snyder is not the comicbook loyalist that we once assumed.

Considering he changed the ending of Watchmen and took the trunks off of Superman, I never assumed that.

All the suit minus the tatoos (they also have explanation) are canon inspired...
You know I love you Reggwecky but on this just don't understand you neither I agree with ya.

All am I seeing is resemblance from Poseidon, Neptune mixed with a Polynesian guy. Those are fair characters and are great to connect with Aquaman, not the GoT character, that I just don't see in Aquamoa. It's just like the "Xena" nonsense that was brought up with Wonder Woman.

-about the "loyalty" topic-

Yeah it has to be 100% exact to be loyal to the comics? :lmao: Sorry but being loyal is being respectful to the character, and that is not found on the oldfashioned Superman trunks (he found a way to modernize the suit, and he did it but respecting the same suit). And if it were the same things in adaptations it would be absurdly BORING and monothony all the way! :doh:

loyalty is not the same than copy! ;)
 
I like the Aquaman design but I also wouldn't mind if they had went with something closer to Aquaman's current look. This version is indeed inspired by 90s Aquaman so it does have ties to the comics and we know nothing of the story to assume he changed stuff there. I do see the Khal Drogo touches though. Sure.

I haven't really read everything you guys have been talking about, but why is there an assumption that Snyder will change the Atlanteans? Can't the Atlanteans be the same as they generally are in the comics and Aquaman's Polynesian heritage be from his human father's side? Unless that's not one of the things that are bothering you guys.
 
I thought the Polynesian side would be his "human" side too.

Could be.

But considering that armor parts lack any unique Atlantean aesthetic and simply copy same Polynesian tattoos from Momoa's body, it seems like indication that Polynesian and Atlantean aesthetics are one same thing.
