Warner Brothers and DC Comics are apparently making an Aquaman movie soon. They haven't even begun script-writing yet so there isn't any idea who will don the orange scaly costume. Any ideas?

The closest I think we'll get to an "Aquaman" movie was already done in HBO's "Entourage". I really just think the character has been turned into a widely-known mainstream joke to ever be taken seriously outside a core comic book-loving audience. Like us.

I respect Arthur Curry and the unlimited potential the character of Aquaman has. I enjoy reading him when he's written well, and feel he should always be a member of the JLA. But the facts are facts; when you bring-up Aquaman to most people, they just think of any number of jokes spanning the last few decades about the "Superhero that talks to fish".

First -  Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Superman...(Two Hours Later of Naming off other Chracters)...and then (Maybe) Aquaman

Exactly. At this rate, a "Mr. Miracle" movie would do better than "Aquaman", just because people DON'T know who he is...

...There's a lot of projects they could do before banking on Aquaman. Like, who actually likes Aquaman in this day and age?

Aquaman has been greenlit and shelved more times than Joan Rivers has had plastic surgery. This one will fail too.

"Mercy Reef" was just a watered-down "Smallville".

...See what I did there? HA!!! I kill me...

You guys, the Aquaman movie is certainly going to happen, people are writing a screenplay for it and everything. All you quotes about it not happening are wrong with all due respect. The Aquaman movie is inevitable.

How do you know this? And were just guessing about the movie like you are "

I'm sorry if I sound a bit grouchy but I do have proof of the Aquaman movie. "

I understand, I'm tried and probably sound like a little mean too, but yeah, I think if there was something about Aquaman, we would have heard about it at Comic Con (Unless they did say something and I missed it) "

I'd rather see the Aquaman movie they made in Entourage. Vinnie Chase and Mandy Moore!

First: Superman sequel was cancelled, it ain't happening.
Second: Leonardo Dicaprio is doing Aquaman as a producer check here

When are they going to have time for Aquaman between Green Lantern, Deadpool, and finding a replacement for Heath Ledger? So much awesome, so little time...

You haven't missed anything I don't think. The film won't probably be out until the early 2010s so I'm not surprised if you and the others haven't heard of it yet. "

There's no way, if this is true, it'll be out in early 2010. No movie goes from pre to post in under a year. Not even cookie cutter films like Saw, which still take a year and 3 months from pre-prod to post-prod, and trust me I know. "

I still don't think Aquaman will even be made anytime soon or even at all, there are other characters that still need to have their movies made first (Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Superman (Again), and Martian Manhunter) "

Agreed, but I don't think it will get made because the days of comic movies bringing in the big bucks will pass soon. Trends don't last forever. "

ok so wonder woman cant get a movie but aqua man can what is wrong with dc aqua man is at best a cheesey namor rip off

"@War Killer: It's a trend. Japanese Horror remakes, buddy comedies, big 90s action films. All comic films need is one giant bomb for the trend to fizzle out. "

O_O

not to spread any hate around... but i do not like aquaman... He is like the wonder twins.. Completely useless... Like is the movie going to be about him talking to the fish for 2 hours?

Only if its a good movie.

"O_Onot to spread any hate around... but i do not like aquaman... He is like the wonder twins.. Completely useless... Like is the movie going to be about him talking to the fish for 2 hours?"

I can't believe that the poster has exclusive information that not one person has ever heard besides him and that a movie that hasn't even got a cast yet is going to be released in 2010

"O_Onot to spread any hate around... but i do not like aquaman... He is like the wonder twins.. Completely useless... Like is the movie going to be about him talking to the fish for 2 hours?"

" Exactly. At this rate, a "Mr. Miracle" movie would do better than "Aquaman", just because people DON'T know who he is... "

I'd buy multiple tickets. :[ Really want this to happen.

Noooo! But it's 2013 so this movie is doubtful

I only have one word of advice for WB execs, just in case they didn't learn from the Green Lantern debacle: Keep Geoff Johns away from this. By all means, take your inspiration where you need to, but don't let this man near your movie.

@justthatkid: Green Lantern was his baby too. Nah, he should stay out of it. It's documented that he was a nightmare to work with on the GL film, and his changes didn't help. Like I said though - nothing wrong with taking inspiration from his works. Comic book writing and movie directing/producing aren't the same thing. Some people can do both, many can't.

Huh? This thread got bumped after 3 years...I wouldn't give up my hopes that this would happen any time soon.

That'll be pretty cool if Warner Bros. pulls this one off.

Looks scary. Shame about not taking the blonde hair route, as it's part of his mythology

this is from 5 years ago hahaha!! while avengers 2 is just around the corner.

DC is well behind.

The official look

Conscious Cuneiform

There are just sooo many comic book movies out there now, but Aquaman (DC Comics) should be a breath of fresh air, simply because the hero represents a general art fascination with environment mastery.

One can argue personalized rhetorical statements such as 'The best comic book films ever made were Tim Burton's "Batman" (1989) and Richard Lester's "Superman III" (1983).' That's because comic book movies are, by definition, guilty pleasures.

As long as we remember that comic book art is supposed to appeal to sensibilities about vigilantism fantasies and armchair warrior daydreams (i.e., defend the little guy), we can treat this flurry of comic book films as indulgences in youthful excitement.

Jason Momoa is rather impressive and very bold-looking (and would make an appealing Aquaman), so I hope the camera-work highlights Aquaman's sense of fair play so we don't lose touch with the "Defend the wimpy kid" anthem of comic book art.

Environmentalism: Aqua-Audience

Maybe the popularity of the Jaws films about the beach-goers being terrorized by a predatory great white shark has cast that aquatics-terror creature towards the esteemed literary level of the prophetic Moby Dick whale.

So, there seems to be some adequate social interest in aqua-environment fantasies.
