Aquaman

We previously mentioned some rumors that say that Atlantis will battle Themyscira. Those rumors can be tracked back to the official reveal of Aquaman, who looks ferocious – from back then we said that this version of the superhero is so menacing-looking for one reason and one reason only.

However, Batman v Superman also shows something else – in the cameo many derided (since Jason Momoa appears to hold his breath), Aquaman looks a bit furious when encountering the technology of the surface dwellers. As a result, he destroys it.

This might be because he blames the humans for the destruction the World Engine has caused. Anyway, this could set up two major story arcs. We’ve mentioned the first one, which involves rebooting the DCEU. However, the second might just be adapted from the first Justice League film.

And that arc is that of the Throne of Atlantis, in which Aquaman has to deal with the effects of a previous war – in the comics, it was the first arrival of Darkseid. In the DCEU, it is the arrival of Zod. The Atlanteans want a war with the surface dwellers – so Aquaman must find a way to become the rightful king and stop all the madness.
