Just confirmed by Jason Momoa himself

"REUNITED bruce and arthur. love u and miss u Ben WB studio tours just explored the backlot alright. busted on set all great things coming AQUAMAN 2 all my aloha"

The film name on the trailer says Necrus… which is a lost city in DC’s Atlantean lore. It’s the Lost Kingdom! (thx to this user for the good catch!)

Is Aquaman 2 still shooting or is this additional photography?
What's the new guys name in charge of WB? Zazlow or something? Do we think he stepped in and suggested this?

Hopefully it is Zazlow or someone stepping in to take control and get their DC shit sorted out. I really don't want them to discard any of the Snyder stuff out. They can easily recover with the right person in charge.

All the actors except Cyborg are down to return (for their paychecks) so yes they can recover. It will be a weird and long process tho. And frankly Snyder’s stuff needs some editorial oversight to prevent another BvS.

Would they really tango again with Ezra Miller? :messenger_winking_tongue:

They're probably adding him as a cameo since it takes place before the Flash now.

I think Flash will get additional photography to show Ezra Miller Flash getting ejecting from the DCEU and ending up somewhere on his lonesome never to be seen again.
LOL

I love the enthusiam on Momoa's face, and Momoa's seeming wholesomeness in general. Man he really deserves to be a bigger action star, has all the qualities of one, but he needs to pick better action movie projects.

Meanwhile Sadfleck looking sad. Dude's been beaten down by life, written all over his face. Marrying J-Lo is totally a mid life crisis move.

They could do so much more with the DC cinematic universe.

I'm not a comic guy, but I've seen that the comics are a lot darker and more interesting.

Take the upcoming Flashpoint film for example.

In the comics, Thomas Wayne is a bad ass Batman! Reverse Flash admits to Barry that he once rubbed him off so fast that he made it seem that Barry shot his load at a woman's touch! That's brutal! Give me this in cinematic form.

Really? I‘d imagine most people would be a bit disappointed if he doesn’t come back in the suit.

Mind you, he’s looking pretty thin these days, so maybe it is just a quick Bruce Wayne cameo?

I guess that would make more sense, given Pattinson.

I see all the Snyder stans on social media have decided this means the Snyderverse is still alive :pie_eyeroll: Despite the fact Aquaman is out before The Flash, and they are still doing that stupid fucking reboot thing with Michael Keaton.

If it gets me a year with a prime Ana De Armas I think I'd do it :p

DiCaprio doing it right. IIRC he has no kids and no alimony to anyone. He dates who he wants and sure he take some heat for it but he can bury his tears into the cleavage of a 22 yo supermodel afterwards :p

Come on gang.

This is WB we’re talking about.

Dont get too hyped.

He’ll probably just be in it as Bruce Wayne 😂

No he‘s Batman. But he’s replacing Keaton in it due to the delay of The Flash. Originally Aquaman 2 came out after The Flash and Keaton showed up as Batman. Now that Aquaman 2 is coming out before The Flash they have to replace Keaton otherwise him showing up would confuse people.

Hopefully they release the Keaton scenes on the Blu-Ray or something.

This makes zero sense. They are 2 different Batman, ones from an alternate reality.
You can't just replace an alternate reality Batman with current reality Batman without overhauling the script.

They’re doing reshoots right now. Batman’s role was basically a cameo. Hopefully they’re removing the Turd as well.

And after The Flash its not an alternate reality Batman. No one but Barry remembers Batfleck.

Nice. Always thought he got done dirty with all the shit at WB. The warehouse fight scene in BvS is still my fave batman fight scene.

Sure you could. They recast actors all the time. Hell, Batman himself has been played by 3 different actors in a single continuity (if you think the Burton and Schumacher films are the same universe). Playing this multi-verse crap is just confusing, as the MCU will probably find out.

The real issue is what kinda batman could be played by a 70 year old man and /or a 50 year man. Those ought to be 2 very different phases of batman and probably are not interchangeable. So whatever role the Keaton batman had probably didn't involve running around and punching guys rather than being a mentor as much as Batfleck was VERY hands on. Though Keaton is still doing action roles with romancing of the ladies so I guess in Hollywood anything goes :p

One of the notes above them says "Livingroom Manta attack". Isn't that an Amber Heard scene? I'm 100% sure I read about this one a while ago, maybe during the trial. So they're either reshooting it or doing pick-ups.

Holy shit, what an absolute fucking mess 🤣 Let’s hope Alan Horn returning might help right the ship a bit.

The cult actually think this is a sign Batfleck is returning properly. They’re going to spit blood when they see it’s a brief cameo that replaces the other, more popular Batman.

I'm OK if they just swap out AH for batfleck and even keep him using water powers and kissing aquaman or whatever :p
