Yeah, sorry, I gotta agree with Kiwami. He looks more like Khul Drago with a trident.

And here I thought we were past putting movie superheroes in nothing but black. Is DC just not giving any kind of a fuck or maybe it's just the color balance in the teaser photo?

They want a specific color palette for their movies. So mainly black, grey and any other really dark color.

All I could think of when seeing that was Khal Drogo...

Then I was reminded of Stargate Atlantis.

And now I'm much more into seeing him in this role.

(Although visually he's still blatantly just Drogo. Wardrobe could've done more there.)

He looks just like Khal Drogo there, but I can't deny how awesome Momoa looks in that pic. Though I still have little to no expectation for this train wreck of a film, I at least like Aquaman's look.

Well he looks more like 1990 comics of the aqaman but black Hair and with locks. He just missing a hook for a hand

ElConvoy · 02-20-2015, 11:18 AM

Well he looks exactly what I imagined he would be when I first heard hes going to be played by Jason Momoa. Mixed in with some typical Zack Snyder "Lets make him cool!" thrown in with the unnecessary tatoos.

although I think the idea of Aquaman's actor being Hawaiian is neat, I would prefer they didn't make him look like John Travolta from Battlefield.

I would've prefered they made him look like Aquaman from Brave and the Bold, or Young Justice.

not Captain Hook Aquaman....

I'll just wait for his CW TV version.

This exactly. He looks like Khal Drogo, but that mixed with 90s Aquaman was obviously what they were gonna be going for as soon as he was cast.
