I really don't care, Aquaman was nothing but a glorified cameo in the original story, with an introduction that was lazy as hell, just like every other character that appeared in the book. In all honesty, the farthest they stem from Johns' story, the better.
Besides, maybe this movie can make me buy all of these dynamics they talk about so much yet are not developed at all, that's the problem with Johns (well, one of his problems), he has cool ideas but his execution is so freaking weak, I see no real dynamic antagonistic yet mutual respect relationship between Hal and Batman, just sporadic personality clashing from a fanboy under the pen who uses his favorite character as his avatar for him to "interact" to another fictional character. The Wonder Woman/Supes relationship, as f*cking obvious as it may be, could make for some good stories from a better angle (say the synopsis for their upcoming ongoing, "Everyone is against them", now that right off the bat outdoes anything Johns has ever done with them). And finally the Cyborg/Billy relationship, that for some reason people keep talking about how great it is even though there is no relationship to begin with, it hasn't even happened yet, but people like it because it's a cool idea. Now, the sad part is that after the movie's done we'll have to continue dealing with Johns' insipid interpretation of these dynamics in the comics, but it'll be nice to see that they can actually work.
