Now THIS looks like a live-action superhero team who can tangle with Gods, Angels, Devils and intergalactic super terrorists. Or to put it in a more Grant Morrison way...

Superman: "These are celestials capable of cracking the planet in half and enslaving billions. Justice League condition amber."

If the Justice League team up to fight generic Aliens and a Loki style Trickster, I'll be disappointed. They have to team up to fight something capable of outright destroying planet Earth.

I can't believe this is actually happening. You'd think that Avengers would make it easier to accept, but it really doesn't.

A live action Justice League is nearly here.

OH MY GOD!
 
I can buy that Superman could go toe to toe with Darkseid. 60% of the work is done already.

Small joke on my part, they really only need a decent script. Granted I thought Henry's delivery was a bit too dead pan in man of steel. So I do think that the acting ability of the actors is questionable.

I agree it'd be nice to have a better script than MOS. But a JL film is, like Avengers, going to be a collection of moments rather than a particularly good story. And selling those moments requires us to believe these characters are capable of ridiculously awesome feats. If you can't buy Batman staring down Darkseid, or Superman beating Brainiac to a pulp and saying 'welcome to Earth' or Wonder Woman drop-kicking Hades down a hole... it doesn't matter how good the writing is.

Will drop pants for Sony.
He looks awesome and sexy at the same time.

Unfortunately under Sydner I doubt the justice league movies will be good other than special effects

I'm not really a fan of the hair but otherwise he looks okay.

It's gonna be crazy once the whole justice league is revealed.
 
Looks great, I love it isn't just your typical aquaman, a blonde guy, but damn polynesian through and through. Tattoos fit perfectly to character and ethnicity. Looking forward to this more and more.

I cannot wait and thank god something new has been shown.

There was never any doubt in my mind that WB and Snyder would make an extremely impressive Aquaman. Hopefully this incarnation of Aquaman's Atlantis retains some of the advanced technology that we've seen in the recent animated Justice League films rather than just 'Game Of Thrones underwater'.

I still think that Aquaman and the 'cinematic Flash' have the most potential to be visually amazing and perhaps really define the DC films separating them from Marvel (and everyone else's) output.

I'm sure it played a role but I'm not sure how much of an impact it made.

In general the trilogy did well OS but it never did as well as it's domestic pull.

Domestic: $1,189,849,975 (48.3%)
Overseas: $1,273,366,241 (51.7%)

The domestic total almost equaled the overseas total.

The rest of the world didn't start embracing superhero films until 2012. The Dark Knight Rises did well overseas.

Digging the "UniteTheSeven"

Maybe one a week until the teaser drops... which gives us what 3 more weeks?

Fuck yes.

This guy could eat 70s porn star looking yellow beardy any day. And probably would - not much room for veggies in the undersea.

Wonder Woman is going to be like "swoon".

It's called not trusting the source material. Instead of making the character's original design(s) work, they just reinvent the wheel into something "badass." It's similar to how the X-Men all ended up in black leather jackets in their films.
Because the audience can totally relate to a Hugh Jackman running around onscreen in bright yellow spandex.
This is not a comic book. Movie goers want something believable. Snyder has said that much already. It is why Superman has the costume he has. It has to make sense to movie goers. What sense is there to be made with a wolverine in bright yellow spandex? The source material serves as a guide. Its not something they have to adhere to 100%. An Xmen movie that stayed 100% true to the source material in costume design would be mistaken for the Power Rangers.

Marvel has proven that people would probably love the bright yellow spandex. The whole "Moviegoers won't want to go see people in bright spandex costumes running around." excuse was debunked a while ago.
