First look at Jason Momoa as Aquaman

[Oceanicpuppy]

Superman doesn't look like Mark Henry, Batman doesn't look like Bruce Lee, the Flash doesn't look like a African marathon runner, and Wonder Woman won't look like Ronda Rousey...


So wtf is your point about Aquaman not looking Michael Phelps

They could've went in a different direction in my opinion and rock the boat. He is looks too solid in my opinion.

I'm made my point countless times why I would picture him looking like that.

 

[Art Barr]

Why are people complaining about his look . The way johns /Morrison has aquaman as more of a bad ass , mamoa fits . People are stuck on the super friends look but like you said aquaman has been a bad ass since the Morrison run hasnt he ?? (Ignoring sword of Atlantis which I still liked ) and they mad at people who have read comics in the last 30 years . Avengers are blatantly ignoring comic history and people are like he looks very cool and fits the DC cinematic universe which isn't the comics @Art Barr !

We know comic book movies in general won't follow the source material in full.
so, hoping they do so, is just wishing on a star that won't fall.
in this case, we just have this hope.
they give us some plausible quality that makes sense.
plus, DC is really big on family orientated properties and will switch it up.
after going dark to restore the draw of damaged properties.
which after casting Affleck as batman.
speaks, about the possibility of them Joel Schumacher'N the batman/supes/jla situation.
Plus, the fact most of their commodifies are damaged.
or, the product base does not fully have the trust of the consumer.
which, all dc characters have from dc's past ineptitude.

Art Barr stuck in the 50s/60s

nikka, you wouldn't even have high speed in your house.
if I was not forward thinking enough,...

nikkaz, who ain't done shyt.
trying to make it like they know what's good.
when, they don't have a grasp in anything in their current era.
yet, trying to speak on nikkaz who definitely made it so you got to enjoy your current era.
which, you still don't do with a global understanding of quality.
shut yo bytch made critical hurt in your feelings ass mouth.

aquaman SWIMS? like he gets around doing the butterfly and shyt?

i figured he was just flying underwater.. or riding dolphins

And if he flew under water he still would be extremely lean. You nikka's act like you've never seen the shape and character of a fukking fish. This is not a hard concept to follow, why in the hell are some of you making it seem like it's such an outrageous and unthinkable opinion?


But but but the comics books, You sound just like the white fanboys bytching about the blonde hair and you don't even know it.

 

[Art Barr]

Whoa, whoa....I never said he wasn't valued. As a matter of fact, I've been one of Aquaman's staunchest supporters for years. I've got several of his comics in my stash to attest to that.

In comics shops and at cons that I do, this is the general consensus of how many think of him. I just happen to agree with those who think Superfriends didn't do him justice. He was LAME on this.

Any critique from current comic book fans.
needs to be authenticated down to what Gen you are speaking on.
if, you are dc and take marketing research you gathered to help your product.
the problem with dc is it lost its way years ago.
that no one in their company structure never had it, like a Jim shooter, etc.
to know what the pulse of dc should be with their custome base.
that is dc's issue and why they have so many relaunches and fail after prestige draw/run of impact in batman and superman.
which creates the reason why they never get to move past the relaunched dark portions to restore those characters draw.

Every dc movie and comic franchise takes a step forward and damNing entire promotion killing steps back, on the very next project.

Art Barr
to test your mettle and look completely fukkin stooped like usual.
you, nikkaz don't know and anyone in the know.
knows you don't know.
so, stop trying to pass.
your huff ass lack of substance/knowledge off like you do and you don't.
nikkaz been here for who knows how long and have no name.
versus the nikka who was that nikka, from day one.

Y'all need to stfu and get Ya life mastered before you say shyt to:

Art Barr

Including your lack of knowledge as well.
in the form of talembout aquaman, like you know and don't even know who drew the shyt and the artist is the next most talented guy in the industry after Jim lee.

The Camouflage Aquaman suit and the mini-series it was debuted (the cover of which I posted already) in was drawn by Craig Hamilton in 1986. Travis Charest didn't even break into comics till the 1990s. And on top of it Charest is not known for working on Aquaman at all.

And?................It's open dialog and people interpret things differently. Jason Momoa ethnic's look is off brand from the original too but when it comes to something else like physiques nikkas want get on their fanboy high horse.

Got news for you, brah...I'm really not that "current". Been reading these things a long time; even got my young son into reading them and he's NEVER cared for Aquaman no matter how hard I tried.

I just so happen to have no qualms about the film's latest rendition. It is what it is...some are going to like it and others aren't.

 

[Jello Biafra]

It's my opinion, You nikka's act like I killed your pet. I think They could've went a different way instead of the typical muscled superhero look it would have been interesting to see. The Same shyt has been done in film too much.

Sorry If you think having a contrast opinion is stupid. You VAPID IN THE BOX THINKING immature ass nikka. fukk all your goonies behind you too.

 

[Art Barr]

One, thing I can say...
those dc animated shows really fooled a whole generation into thinking they were going to get quality from dc.
dc can't get me to even look their way and my idol practically runs the show there.
that is how damaged dc is, and will always be because they are not a thorough company and have operated as just a wing of possible profitability and not a real quality valued wing of warner.
if it was valued, they would not piss in the wind away valuable movie draw and aesthetics.

All 4 covers were drawn by Hamilton and P. Craig Russell; interiors were penciled by Hamilton and inked by Steve Montano.
I don't know what book you are thinking of but it aint this one.

Fairweather to fanboy comic fans who came up in the low quality nineties.
when, DC is concerned.
are the last people to base an entire franchise around.
those are the same people they tried to appease and ruined batman and superman.
to the point we are where we are now, from all that shyt.
plus, exactly back where we were when Burton left batman all over again.
