Jason Momoa's Aquaman Costume Revealed

True smh

@cattlebattle: Yeah that wasn't exactly the first poster to look like that...

Pretty much but for what it is I really like it.

Outrageous!

Also looking at it some more it honestly looks like 90s Aquaman except no blonde hair and he has tattoos

@cattlebattle: posters were made like that pong before thor came out

Show me.

When it gets the point where even the filmmakers and his fans think his original appearance as a white blonde guy with a orange and green costume made no sense... that's when you know that Aquaman has been lame since the beginning.

So many Marvel and DC characters get to have actors who look pretty close to the character their playing... but not Aquaman... half his fan base doesn't really give a shit. Lets hope DC learns from Marvel and changes Aquaman New 52 comic look to the film version. Because lets face, hardly any of you would really care...

I like it, but i honestly thought they would have made him dyed his hair blonde.

Original marketing they have there...

And I'm not sure if this can be considered part of the marketing, this is a teaser pic for Aquaman's costume shown by Snyder, not an official poster for either BvS or JL or even a solo Aquaman movie released by WB.

Looks amazing, I prefer the new less angsty Aquaman, but this could totally work.

Can't wait to see Khal Drogo of the sea. I understand they based this off the 90's books because late 80's early 90's seems to be the only stuff Snyder ever read but sorry Momoa you can't act and have played the same character in ever performance and this looks no different.

@jonny_anonymous: i love 90s aquaman, i grew up on that. No color, not aquaman. Atleast for me. Just because hes shirtless, doesnt mean he resembles the 90s version/

Siiiiiiick that's a legit Aquaman.

My only main concern about the costume, despite preferring one closer to the comics, is that it doesn't look in any way regal. He looks like a guard, not a king.

I guess when you cast Jason Mamoa you're going for a specific look.

It wouldn't surprise me he was cast on look alone, with only a cursory audition..

@starbrand1: He has colour, it's just that poster has a filter. This one doesn't:

For the record, I was being sarcastic.

For a first costume it's fine. It'll break illusions and catch eyes. Plus, assuming Arthur isn't the most human right low it fits. Hopefully we'll get his more classic look down the road.

On the fence.

I despise Aquaman's orange and green costume, so one that isn't that color scheme is welcome.

He does look rather bad-ass and perhaps that was the look they were hoping to achieve.

Makes me lose an significant amount of fate in the new Aquaman movie. Here comes a dark and mediocre movie with zero emotions!

Wow! I like it. Of course, the dark and gritty look has always appealed to me. He seems more grounded in reality. Also, the glyph looks great!

Looks solid, but also looks like him playing every typecast character he has in the past. His versatility is very limited, and honestly (IMO), his acting has a lot to be desired, but as a set-piece and one of 7 he should do fine.

The look powerful, and I am glad he is at least getting the green pants.

I really like this look for Aquaman!

Aquaman was never based on King Arthur. And he was American. All they have in common is the name.

i dont care about the costume, i am more worried about how a 2 hour movie will be enough to give us the story of toooo many characters...

@superguy1591: I'm just glad Pacific Islanders are getting some form of representation, even if it does come at the expense of turning a white superhero into a Pacific Islander. As a guy who lives on a Pacific Island, and has many friends who are Pacific Islanders, this is great that they almost have their own superhero. I mean Pacific Islander Aquaman makes so much sense.

I am a huge fan of DC.

That's why i will go the movies and watch every film DC is going to release.

But I must say that I truly dislike this look and the choice of Momoa as Aquaman. Call me old-fashioned but i prefer the clean-cut image. like the new 52 Aquaman , or the one who appeared in the last animated movie. It seems that they tried to make Aquaman look like Momoa and the rest of the characters he has played when it should have been the other way round. He should have tried to look like Aquaman.

Moreover, the hair and the beard look just gross.

Should be.

Excellent

I think Mama actually hinted this style some time ago.

The tattoos are probably the type of tattoos that indicate war paint.

Since it actually matches his armor.

It's clear Zack wants Aquaman to be viewed as "cool" to the mainstream audience. I can respect that.

Bad-ass!

No just no.......

@stellar421: are you sure? I saw a documentary about the Golden Age where they said he was influenced by Arthur Pendragon, being a boy who is unaware of his destiny to be king. King Arthur was unaware of his destiny until he pulled the sword from the stone.

Aquaman was unaware of his destiny until he fell into water.

Excalibur is Arthur's trident.

I could be wrong.

@nathan_abril: unlike many others, I have no problems with diversity for diversity sake. I am perfectly fine with the cast, it's the design that I don't like,

Though, as I've said before, i, too, agree with the fact that a Pacific Islander would be cast as an aquatic based hero.

Could be that he's based on Arthur, but the British nationality wasn't that huge of a factor.

@stellar421: I meant English armor.

@superguy1591: That's true. The switch seems to be rather radical, indeed. Let's hope they make the best of it.

This one approves.

Figuring out how to pull off the scales in live-action must've been a headache for the designers.

He doesn't look heroic. He doesn't even look like a good guy. He looks like the villain of his own movie.

@the_stegman: Yeah, a boring tone. I almost fell asleep looking at that picture.

@the_stegman: they look laughable. I certainly wouldn't fear bad teeth Cavill, barely there Gadot, can't act Momoa, and fatFleck. Lmao........he'd certainly eat the Avengers or at least try to before the real BADASSES kick these losers asses......

@butters911: I'll have you on speed dial.

Here is another image of the costume with colors intact.

I really wish Snyder wouldn't release his teasers in monochrome. These images keep getting a huge fan backlash because they look BAD when all the color is drained out of them.
