Yeah that is weird...oh! You know what? I bet it's because he can't breathe outside of water for more than an hour. Yeah, that's probably it.
Well that's a low blow ^^ Besides, they have secondary characters that are way lamer. The timmverse worked hard to make aquaman cool again. The Brave and the Bold, while portraying him as corny, still made him a powerful hero and reccuring character. So i would have liked to see Aquaman in this movie too.

Well I meant it in jest. If he were real, I wouldn't be mean. I used to watch a lot of the old 60s cartoons on vhs as a kid and I loved them but they are extremely goofy. I guess I always think of Aquaman as THE most powerful hero on 75% of the Earth's surface but completely pointless to have on missions with the JL on land. But I guess he can breathe air and use his telepathy on humans now, huh?
I apologize in advance for everything I say on here. I regret it immediately after clicking post.

Actually, BWPS, he's been able to use his telepathy on humans ever since the Silver Age, and the one hour limit was phased out in the late 60's, early 70's.  Check THIS out:

But is he the most powerful hero on 75% of the Earth's surface (ie. the oceans)?  Because I would think, even underwater, Superman is more powerful.  And Green Lantern.  Provided some means of breathing so are Wonder Woman and the Flash, and about 3/4s to half of the Justice League's entire roster over the years.

Now, I know power level does not necessarily equal a good character, but whenever Aquaman gets disparaged, that's what his fan(s) typically bring up - that his powers don't actually suck.  While that is true, they're not exactly great or unique powers either.

Classically, Aquaman is the equal to Wonder Woman.  He even trounced her CSA counterpart.  She's been really overvalued in the last twenty years.  Still, I've always liked that he wasn't Superman level.  He's powerful, has a unique setting and a great supporting cast (before they killed all of them and/or made them all crazy), and most of all, was heroic.  Giant monster threatening the people he's protecting?  Well, it's even more heroic that he faces it without an eye twitch because he ISN'T Superman.

World's Finest Review
Spoilers are hidden in the review. Need to highlight the section to read spoilers.

Hmm, I like that they've put Martian Manhunter in his One Year Later costume. Also, how many cameos of earth3 villains are there in this film??? I've spotted Vibe, Plastic man, Gypsy (who looks like she can make herself intangible), Black Lightning, a cat based ninja I don't recognise, Green Arrow, Vixen (who seems to be a shapeshifter in the film), Halo and hey even have the Jokester!!!

Entire freakin' League sans Aquaman...... :angry:

Anyway, he just sounds like a pale imitation of Conroy, like he's trying to impersonate him but can't quite pull it off.  The others sound good.

I love you man!  Stick right by Aquaman till the very ends.  If there is ever an Aquaman move I hope you get a cameo, if not a co-starring role.

Whoa, can BG act? Let's have HIM play Aquaman. Though he'd probably end up turning the role down because he's an inch too short and his eyes are the wrong color.




Ok, I have no room to say anything. But I say it all with the utmost respect for his aquanerdrage.

Saw the movie and it wasn't bad.  The ending could have been better.  I'm not going to spoil it but I want to state a few things:

Spoiler
When did the Crime Syndicate became a mafia?

LOTS of cameos!  The only downside I can see to the film are the voices

Since you seen it, did you think WW and GL killed those henchmen at the warehouse. Bats indirect killing of Johnny Quick? I thought the VAs were fine. Movie could of been better if it was based on Earth 2 storyline.

Bats/Flash clip

Wow, I'm not impressed with Baldwin's Batman.
When i saw it with the animation, i was not crazy about it. I think he has a fair voice, but the interpretation of batman, being so outgoing and  not in the shadow is not correct for the delivery presented by Baldwin.

I enjoyed it. Batman's voice wasn't quite up to the legacy of Kevin Conroy but it was still pretty good. My wife did comment she thought the voice acting in general wasn't quite up to par. It needed to take a breath and give more than just Martian Manhunter a character arc though. The fight scenes are tremendous and quite clever. There were a few characters even i didn't quite recognize.

freegentile

And, Benton, I like you, always suffer from the League-minus-me complex. Where's Captain Marvel? SHAZAM! Hello?!! Man, I mean where the floor-moppin' power when you need it? :)  I did note that the "Made Men" or whoever the guys who have the yellow sashes around their waist, do smack of Black Adam quite a bit. There was a clip where several of them attacked the league in the sky & smashed thru several of GL's shields. There was even a junior member who looked like he was in the role of Captain Marvel Jr. It wasn't lookin' good for the good guys @ that point. Write in Captain Marvel, I tell ya.
