Aquaman Trailer for 'Injustice: Gods Among Us'

Oh yes, it's time for Arthur Curry to throw down in DC's upcoming fighting game!

We've known he'll be playable for quite some time now, but now we actually get to see him in action and what kind of role he'll play in the campaign, too! IGN posted his reveal trailer today and, bad Admiral Ackbar impression aside, it's quite epic.

I absolutely cannot wait for the game to come out on April 16th.

Edit

Here's a couple screen shots provided by Warner Bros.

UPDATE

Here's one of his alternate costumes.

So Shazam(or whatever Captain Marvel is called now) and Flash are following the regime and siding with Superman?

I love this so much.

You, you're going to be my new best friend.

Also, I really do not like how lifeless his eyes look.

They're almost not there at all.

Sounds to me like Phil Lamar (Hermes Conrad, Samurai Jack, etc).

Did anyone else think that boot at the end belonged to Orm?

Aquaman looks really cool and his fighting style looks very sleek and water-filled (Kind of like Rain from MK9). Best looking so far I think. Shazam on the other hand looks a bit weird.

I'm seriously not a big fan of Phil as Aquaman (he's suited to many other roles) but man what an epic trailer! I wasn't a big dc fan before the new 52 but since then Aquaman has easily become my favorite character. Can't wait to throw down with my podcast crew.

Regardless, this trailer was pretty cool. This was probably the best portrayal of Aquaman I've ever seen. Does anyone know any good Aquaman reads that won't make me think of character as a 'lame-o'.

Start reading the New 52 Aquaman and i guess you can also read the new 52 justice league. And after you get familiar with the series and LOVE IT(because you WILL), you go spread the news to all the Aqua Haters you know, and tell them that they can either "GET DOWN OR DROWN, BECAUSE AQUAMAN AIN'T NO CLOWN"

@Jonny_Anonymous: Oh. I'm fairly new to comics...my knowledge comes from animation, film, and the current New 52. They should give him back that power in the comics, he'd be even more awesome.

So I couldn't tell by the trailer, but will he have mental command over marine life? Like can he summon a wave of sharks or something?

Yes, I'm thinking the part with the Great White Shark is his power move.

I think it may actually be apart of the transition through the Atlantis stage, because it looks like Flash is underwater and from the look of his body when he is bitten.

That would certainly make more sense. After all, having a tidal wave appear on any stage would be odd, but then that leaves the question... what would his power move be?

That is what I am now asking. What will his moves consist of?

It looks like he has some water manipulation (launched an enemy into the air with a burst under their feet and knocked down from a burst from above) and had a few cool moves with his tridents (combos, grabs and a throw).

Could be. Or that could be his ulti. Summon a whale to create a tsunami then telepathically get sharks to attack flash.

I know she probably wont make the roster, but I do hope we get a cameo appearance from Mera. Maybe her in battle, that would be pretty amazing.

I'm so happy when I saw the trailer, I screamed and I cried.

same. Ed Boon wasnt lying when he said we would have a BIG reveal today.

Indeed. I almost didn't believed him cos he kept trolling us.

But I'm glad Aquaman looks so badass.

I hope they're not giving him water manipulation powers cos that Mera's schtick

I wouldnt mind too much. he's been shown to have it inconsistently over the years. i think they might be powered by his trident in the game, he did call down lightning on someone.
