Justice League film confirmed

[JeyNyce]

I'm staying out of the whole "Ben sucks" issue.  I thought Heath Ledger was a terrible choice to play the Joker until I saw the movie and I was like "WOW! HE'S THE BEST JOKER EVER!!!"  So, you'll never know, Ben may be this best Bats out there.

[HarryTrotter]

Any news on the story of the movie?

Not a bad choice, I imagine he will not look like Khal Drogo when playing Aquaman As for the story I think we can expect many nods to Dark Knight Returns, since Snyder is a fan of the story.

[BWPS]

Watch Argo and The Town then come back to the "Ben Sucks" conversation.

I'm back! I hated both those movies and it really irritated me how much praise they got. Anyway I know I'm beating a dead horse so I'm officially not talking about Ben Affleck until the movie comes out. And I'm still going to see it ASAP so it's not like WB should really care if the movie is bad they'll still make money.

He's also been in Baywatch.

So, y'know, perfect.

[bat1987]

Oh ya Baywatch Hawaii. Totally forgot about him being there.

[Shogunn2517]

Would it be wrong of me to point out the fact that the Aquaman that I know has been blonde-haired and blue-eyed for the last 34 years of my life?

Why is that hard?

[Tomato]

Because dying ones hair blonde is completely impossible to do as an actor.

And giving him blue contacts......

[Talavar]

Limiting casting decisions by eye colour is ridiculous.  If Aquaman having brown eyes is the worst thing Justice League gets wrong, I'll be astonished.

[HarryTrotter]

We can say the movie has a weird casting.

[Shogunn2517]

I guess... I mean it worked so well for Jessica Alba.

Are Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth naturally blond? I might be wrong but I don't think so, so I think they'll be okay on Aquaman.

[Shogunn2517]

But they're also white guys so...

[BWPS]

He'd look absolutely ridiculous with blonde hair. Aquaman's blonde hair is sexy but I think Kal Drogo is a cool choice and since he's a freak of nature that will make him look more exotic like an Atlantean might.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Trying to change his hair and eye color would not work well.  As others have said, he's not caucasian in appearance and it really would look right on him, plus he's never going to look like his comic book counterpart anyways short of changing his skin color and that they aren't going to do.

I'm familiar with him from Stargate Atlantis and he seems to be very good at playing strong warrior types.  This is actually good, since it signals that they plan on making Aquaman the warrior king type.  He also, while not looking like comic Aquaman, does have an exotic look about him which would be good for an Atlantean and he definitely looks physically imposing.  No one's going to laugh at his version of Aquaman.

So unlike some of these casting choices, I have no problem with this.  If only I had any confidence that he's have the writing and directing to back that up.

[Tomato]

Eh, it depends. I agree that bleach blonde, Draco Malfoy level is a bit on the crazy side, but I don't think a dirty, almost brown type of blonde would look too bad on him. And remember, the Blonde isn't supposed to look right on him, it's why he was cast out in the first place.

I only have one question. Where is Benton on this matter? It's been nearly two days and he hasn't weighed in yet. What's going on!?

I think he's on vacation

[Tomato]

He's out partying because Aquaman actually got to be in something.

[HarryTrotter]

Every GoT fan is runing the Khal Drogo is Aquamen meme.
But I dont see whats the big fuss,the movies isnt coming out soon.

[steamteck]

I'm excited. I think he'll make a pretty hardcase Aquaman. Here's a guy you can't make fun of. It will be interesting to see Benton's reaction though.

[trebean]

One thing I'm worried about is Aquaman's origin was he was banished because he had blonde hair and blue eyes.

[Jimaras8]

Knowing Benton i don't think he will be very fond of the idea of Conan em.. i mean Momoa playing Aquaman.

[HarryTrotter]

^Or Khal Drogo or the guy from Red Road.

[thalaw2]

I like the Aquaman casting.  I think it's a great move.  I would list some reasons why...but I'm too tired.

[JeyNyce]

It's funny if you think about it:
No trailer
No idea what the story is about
Not everybody is cast yet, but this is one of the most talked about movies this year.  WB must be doing something right

[HarryTrotter]

Doesnt Superman VS Batman comes out first?

[Tomato]

See, I think the confusion is that it's not being billed as Superman/Batman. It's being billed as "The Justice League prequel"

[HarryTrotter]

^Agreed.
