Jason Momoa’s Aquaman

It didn’t really matter who was cast as Aquaman, anyone who wasn’t fully familiar with the character from the comic books was always going to react negatively to his upcoming appearance in the DC Expanded Universe – but that’s simply down to ignorance.

In popular culture (like in shows such as Family Guy and even Super Friends), Aquaman is often depicted as something of a joke character – but fans of the character from the comic books know that this isn’t the case at all.

Far from simply being able to control sea creatures, Aquaman is a top-tier brick on a level not too far below the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman when it comes to his strength and durability.

Having a big and intimidating man like Jason Momoa portraying the character (look no further than his performances in Game of Thrones and Conan the Barbarian to see what we mean by that) will ensure he is not going to be presented as someone you should mess with in the DC Expanded Universe – and doubters of the character’s worth (especially those who have mocked him since his appearance in the franchise was confirmed) will come away feeling pretty silly after seeing him in a movie for the first time.
