Today, Zach Snyder the director of the upcoming Batman vs Superman film (and every other
DC film as far as anyone is aware) tweeted a picture of Jason Momoa as Aquaman.
As everyone pretty much expected, he has donned the tradition bright orange
jumpsuit with green underpants on the top, or rather that’s what i was hoping
to see. Instead, I was greeted with a rather more appropriate looking Aquaman
who is bearded and brooding. I shall include a link to Zach Synder’s tweet
which has the picture attached below so you can Conan the Aquarian for
yourself.
Taking into consideration the time frame of the filming of
the DC cinematic universe films, the posting of this picture would suggest that
King Triton will be appearing in Batman vs Superman. This seems problematic
given the number of other DC characters rumoured to also make an appearance in
this film. The confirmed list (as far as im aware) of who will appear in this
film is as follows: Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Alfred
Pennyworth, and Cyborg. All of those characters apart from Superman need to be
introduced in a 2 hour period. It seems to be an impossible task. They will
either play major roles and therefore have a poor introductions due to time
restrictions or the majority will be cameos, which would make me question why
they’d been forced in the film in the first place.
The picture of Poseidon was pretty much what I expected.
Jason Momoa looks like the Aquaman I have been familiar with in DC comic for
several years now. Essentially, this picture changes nothing of my feeling
towards how he will play the character, just the way in which I think the Batman vs Superman film will play out. I
truly hope it isn’t a case of having too many big fishes in a small pond.
