![]() ![]() We will next see Aquaman in Justice League, which comes out November 17, 2017. Even though it isn't much, what we have seen is very encouraging. As of right now, all we have seen was the tease of the character in the email video sent to Wonder Woman in Batman V Superman, and some footage of the character in the Justice League trailer. Right now, Jason Momoa is currently filming with Zack Snyder for Justice League, and once that wraps up, it sounds like he will be taking on the lead in The Crow as Eric Draven before heading into production on Aquaman. They're very larger than life, but they're unique." They are interesting characters, including the villains - I'm not going to tell you which villains I'm going to play with! But they're super cool. "I gotta say, one thing I love about the Aquaman world is all the really different, really interesting characters. ![]() In an interview with CinemaBlend in June, Wan teased the unique villains that Aquaman will be looking at, but didn't reveal any by name. So this could very well play to his sensibilities. Also, James Wan, who is directing the movie, has a knack for crazy visuals, and is perhaps the greatest horror director working today. Suicide Squad was definitely injected with some lighthearted moments, but so far, the dark nature of a bad guy like Black Manta seems to gel with what is going on in the DCEU so far. It didn't help anything that his caretakers would strap him to his bed, forcing him to be in a bed with cotton around him. As a boy, prior to the treatment, he had a fascination with Aquaman, and was very comfortable in cold water, but felt excruciating pain under cotton sheets. He winds up killing the scientist who gave him the treatment and escapes. The boy was experimented on and, as a result, became incredibly violent, even though it did seem to "cure" him of his autism, to a degree. Anyone who knows anything about DC Comics should know, nothing good can come of that. In this origin, the nameless boy who eventually becomes Black Manta is an autistic orphan, who winds up in Arkham Asylum. In this origin, he saw Aquaman with his dolphin friends at one point, and tried to signal for help, but Aquaman didn't see him, and didn't help, so that is what sparked the hatred of the hero for Black Manta.Īnother origin story was given for the character in issue #8 of the 2003 Aquaman series, and it is at least as dark, if not more so. He eventually had to kill one of his captors in order to escape. ![]() In the 1993 origin, he was kidnapped as a boy and forced to work on a ship, and was also sexually abused by his captors. There are a couple of different origin stories for the character, which are very, very dark. He typically wears a high-tech suit that allows him to be under water, which also features various weapons. Essentially, Black Manta is a man, generally depicted with enhanced strength and abilities, who wants to challenge Aquaman to rule the sea. The character of Black Manta is exceedingly dark, and has been a villain for Aquaman dating back to his first appearance in Aquaman #35 in September of 1967. ![]()
