I have always preferred DC over Marvel. That said, I have loved what they have done with Marvelverse.

As for the upcoming Man of Steel sequel Dawn of Justice, I have a lot of concerns that they are using it as a launching point for a Justice League movie. Cameo appearances by Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg. However, I must admit, I agree with the OP. I think the casting of Jason Mamoa and the look they have given Aquaman are great. No, he's not the blonde haired, fair skinned, cheesy sonar calling Aquaman of the Comics. Quite honestly, for me, anything they could have done would have been better than the Aquaman of the comics, at least for me, ymmv.

Yeah, I think casting Momoa is a great move - he's already got a badass credibility that tells me he's not going to be playing Aquaman as any sort of joke, but a peer of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

DC has the opportunity to cast some really great actors in the movies they have slated - Momoa would be a controversial choice for some but I think it's inspired. I do think they've dropped the ball a little on the upcoming Shazam movie - Dwayne Johnson would have been an amazing choice for Captain Marvel. Instead, they took the obvious route and cast him as Black Adam. I don't doubt he'll do a great job, but I think they missed an opportunity there.

From what I heard, they did have him picked as Captain Marvel, but he decided he'd prefer Black Adam.

I would watch the hell out of a Shazam movie where Dwayne Johnson played every character.

And that includes Mary Marvel.


That's exactly what's so surprising. I think he'd be great at it.

Maybe he doesn't want to get typecast as a hero or something, though. That could have something to do with his decision making.

Y'know, I think he made the same push in the Doom movie, IIRC.

Yeah, I feel you on that one. There's something about him... Hell, he's the only reason I watched Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, and he was pretty entertaining in that. Apparently he's confirmed to be coming back for Journey 3 next year as well.

He and Bolo Yeung need to have a pec showdown. Badly.

I don't know who this Bolo Yeung is of whom you speak, but I support this idea 150%

Bolo Yeung.

He's getting on a bit, however, so his pecs aren't quite as hilariously big now as they used to be.

Holy crap those are some pecs.


I'd imagine it would go something like this, really.

I'm moderately optimistic. I actually liked MoS quite a bit, and if they can make it as good as that, this should be a good movie.

Sure he won't be the best Aquaman, but he might just be good.

I briefly played a Paladin inspired by that Aquaman. He was a lot of fun.

That Aquaman is good, but no one does it better than the Birds of Prey.
