As others have pointed out, his tattoos seem to be mimicking traditional Polynesian tribal tattoos, and if it's following those traditions he likely got them when he came of age.

But it has five prongs on it, not three.
Seriously it's like DC wants to make every possible wrong choice available to them in developing this DC Cinematic Universe. They're the exact opposite of Marvel. Rushing this process, we should have got Aquaman movies and new Batman movies out prior to this Superman/Justice League primer film. They're just rushing things. And I'm sorry Baffleck is never going to work. He just doesn't have the very specific acting chops needed to handle the character in any memorable fashion. I've seen most of his films, he just doesn't have it.

"Unite the Seven" refers to the Justice League people
Superman,Batman, WonderWoman, Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern

Uniting the Justice League? Thats what I got anyway.

Perhaps, but I'm secretly hoping it's referring to the Justice League and we'll get reveals for the next few weeks. Probably the seas, though.

The sexiest man in the world making the dork of SeaWorld look like a King. Umph!
Lol... we haven't even glimpsed the JL or BvS movie or how it plays and you feel it's rushed? That's a really ill informed opinion.
Sis, I don't appreciate you talking about my husband this way. Respect our union.
I have a terrible fear of ocean bound creatures, slimy, smelly beasts, so Aquaman's powers would be extra effective against me. If I saw a giant Squid slimeling toward me on the beach I'd freak the fuck out
The rush is in how they're developing the Universe. Instead of carefully introducing various characters in their own films as they should, they're going to have this primer film overstuffed with introductions, they keep choosing poor talent to helm their works, the actors aren't particularly inspiring either, and Man of Steel was a poor start.
DC is the opposite of Marvel so far in how deliberately they've been going at this process. So far, I am unimpressed.

Not really. The production process is taking forever, but that doesn't mean the story isn't going to be rushed considering how much they're cramming into BvS to prepare the way for JL.
Didn't you know? The only way to do comic book films is the Marvel way. Every other way is wrong
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
except not really. he isnt streamlined into a basic leather new x-men costume. it looks like theyve took momoas actual lineage in account in building this aquaman, which is what i was hoping they would do from day one
absorb the salt, b
most likely a justice league reference
Poor J'onn J'onzz.

WB doesn't know what they are doing because they aren't doing it exactly like Marvel, and if they did do it exactly like Marvel they'd just be shamelessly copying and trying too hard to be like the MCU also trainwreck and clusterfuck and did I mention trainwreck?

That's LITERALLY what his ENTIRE character is based on.

These talking points are over a year old. I'm pretty sure they've been refreshed once or twice since then.

Well that is certainly a picture of Jason Momoa
He's never looked exactly like this, but Aquaman as a warrior-king of the sea isn't a new idea in the comics. Not very widely used in mass media, so most non-comic geeks won't be familiar, but Aquaman has had some pretty badass moments in recent years.

Hmm, not sure if serious.
I wouldn't mind the Rise of an Empire guy at all. That's one underrated movie for a sequel that didn't really have to be made.

Tattoos are you fucking kidding me?
Not even close:
90s Aquaman FTW

So what Justice League members do we still need to see? Cyborg and Flash, right? Unless they are going to drop a Black Adam bomb on us and show The Rock in costume for his incoming film.
The Seven Seas
or the founding seven of the Justice League

Don't skeet too much, the movie hasn't even come out yet.

Girl Gone. I was getting my licks in since Stargate. You need to respect our union, psh.
They don't have to do it exactly like Marvel, but Marvel's approach has been so successful that WB could stand to emulate them in a broad sense. They could have started their cinematic universe with a good movie, for instance.

Lantern also needs to show up.
Hulk, Iron Man, Cap, and Thor got solo films before The Avengers.
Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman will star in films before Justice League. WB could have released Aquaman in 2017 and pushed Justice League to 2018 in order to get 3 solo films and 4 characters major screen time before JL.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I imagine that it means the Justice League:
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Green Lantern
The Flash
Cyborg

I'm still angry I have to wait till 2016 for this fucking thing.
15 months of Post-Production on one movie is ridiculous.

Well, when they stop being relevant I suppose they will evaporate. Just like people's boundless faith that comes from nowhere based off the talent they have for these films and their effort in Man of Steel, people's views only change when they see evidence that it's worth changing.
Right now, it's hard to get excited about any of this, and I vastly prefer DC heroes to Marvel heroes. DC is just trying to play catch up to get their version of the cinematic universe up, and they're making poor choices along the way consistently. It's pretty obvious to see. But of course when the next films come out and people talk about all the narrative problems, we'll have this discussion again I suppose.

Why should fucking AQUAMAN be "carefully introduced" via a two hour film of his own?
There's nothing about fuckin Aquaman (or any superhero, really) that necessitates two hours of introduction for an audience to roll with it. Now if you have two hours worth of an Aquaman story that you want to tell, then by all means, make an Aquaman movie. But if you're suggesting the only way to get an audience to understand the idea of a decades-old superhero based on a CENTURIES old Greek God is to "carefully introduce him" in his own epic adventure film, I'm going to suggest that conventional wisdom you're trying to share is pretty busted.
They're not relevant, that's why I'm clowning your coughing them up.
You sound like your'e saying things to say them without really thinking about them before you say them. "boundless faith?" who have you even been talking to?

I forget if they officially announced him joining the League in the films. I know there is no casting yet, unless Tyrese knows something we don't.
I hear Jaden Smith is available.
