Balance-Where is your movie theater, and when is this movie coming out? Cause I’ll be 1st in line for this!
Black Vulcan. Later years had Firestorm and Cyborg(who was also Black).
I say, why not, but then again I’ve had Aquaman’s Lament stuck in my head for the past two weeks. I may just be waxing sympathetic.
And a general-purpose loon with entitlement issues.
No matter how many times you re-imagine his charactor to be seen as a badass, you throw enough Hostess® Fruit Pies at him, he’s done.
This would have been my response 12 months ago. But have you seen the Green Lantern trailers? He’s not much less ridiculous a character, and they haven’t done much to make the movie look bad ass. If it does well, I doubt Aquaman’s chance is far behind. Throw the words “gritty reboot”, “Aquaman”, and “tsunami” into the hopper and see what comes out. Story based on the Japanese earthquake/nuclear meltdown/radioactive stuff dumped in the water? How topical, let’s do it.
HOLD THE PHONE!
Original Justice League (This Earth):
Green Lantern - Movie is out
Superman - Done and redone
Batman - Ditto
Flash - Coming in the near future
Wonder Woman - Scrapped / Stalled?
Martian Manhunter - Nope
Aquaman - Subject of the thread
Back to the OP: Aquaman should not, IMHO, but that won’t stop DC from making it. Aquatic film locations, CGI and green-screen goodies, Scantily-clad women. Sounds like it would be a underwater James Bond meets Avatar.
And Iceman is Marvel (he is a member of the X-Men). Captain Cold is DC, but he is a villain.
I remember the DC Vs. Marvel super-cross over thingy from about 15 years ago where all the major heroes had a one on one with their closest equivalent. Aquaman vs. Sub-Mariner was one of the shortest. Most of it was Namor mocking Aquaman mercilessly until Aquaman had a blue wale leap out on top of him. End of fight.
Black Lightning…Jeffesron Pierce…
Firestorm is Ronnie Raymond / Prof Martin something or other.. He might sound black, but he wasn’t…
The second Firestorm was black.
I am old. All of the superheroes in my DC Universe (Earth-1, Earth-2, Earth-3, Earth-S, and Earth C (Home of Captain Marvel Bunny IIRC), with the exception of Cyborg, Black Lightning, and Tyroc are non-black.
You might want to sit down for this…
Sitting, I am. Amaze me, you will?
Earth C was the home of Captain Carrot & His Amazing Zoo Crew![1]. Earth C Minus was the home of the funny-animal Justice League (Just a Lotta Animals IIRC). I don’t know that the Captain Marvel Bunny world ever got an official designation.
[1] The exclamation point is not optional.
Also, you totally forgot Mal/Guardian/hornblower/whatever sad excuse for a power set they ended up trying out on him.
I defer this matter to the judgment of Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali:
“Aquaman is lame!”
You are correct. I confused my rabbits… but I do remember the C- “JLA”. Pig Iron was one of the members…I think his alter ego was Peter Porker (a swipe at Marvel, no doubt)…
(why do I have this stored in my head?)
Peter Porker was a Marvel-published funny-animal version of Spiderman.
Pig-Iron’s alter ego was [— Tom gives up on his memory and runs to wikipedia —] Peter Porkchops; he was a character in a 1950s-era funny animal comic book that DC published.
It was Peter Porkchops…couldn’t edit in time…dammit…
Here’s a clip from the trailer.
As long as Forbush-Man doesn’t get a movie I think we’re OK.
