Aquaman looks like it's learning from Wonder Woman and having a little fun with it.
Shazam...maybe a little too much fun...

All Aquaman needs is a Queen soundtrack.

I never quite 'got' the character of Shazam when DC first brought him back in the early-70s - not quite in line with my tastes. Superman and Wonder Woman had their quirky, offbeat moments back then, too, but Shazam was just a step too far removed from the really 'serious' comics featuring Batman, The Shadow, The Spectre and others at that time. This trailer reminds me of that feeling, but, let's face it, it has to be an improvement on the direction the DC films have taken lately. I'd say to really get Captain Marvel, you have to read the stuff from his original run in the 40s and 50s. The stories and art were miles ahead of what DC was doing with Superman at the time (Superman was still beating up corrupt businessmen in dull, awkwardly drawn stories), and the tone had a delicate balance of being really goofy but also quite violent. Just really creative, high-level superhero comics. When Fawcett shut down their comics operation, DC took a lot of cues from Captain Marvel and even hired some of the old Fawcett talent, so in a sense Superman in the 50s and 60s more or less became Captain Marvel but just slightly different (rainbow Kryptonite, super-pets, a Super-Family, etc.). The problem is that since DC acquired the Fawcett characters, there's this need to differentiate the characters and also to make sure everyone knows Superman is still the top dog (DC is his house after all), so Captain Marvel always gets his gimmicks tweaked while Superman can just keep trucking along as always. So Cap gets to be the funny "innocent" superhero of a past era, he keeps his little boy personality in his adult body (probably uses Superman as a role model, too!), he's a magic-using hero, whatever. He's never going to be DC's priority, but his legacy is too big to just ignore, too. |

MI6 showed Cavill has options ahead of him (like Witcher), so he can kind of laugh these things off now. But wow, what a mess. Just tell Ben yes or no, get it over with already!

We’re in the topsy turvy world where they get Wonder Woman and Aquaman right, but can’t figure out Superman and Batman!

I have grown sick of superhero movies. Too much of the same old thing. But Aquaman has my attention. Mamoa is much more interesting than most of the other plain vanilla super heroes: he has charisma in spades. And I have a soft spot for underwater battle scenes; I still enjoy the one from G.I. Joe to this day!

Finally watched Justice League , thought Batman , WW , Aquaman and the little bit he was in , Superman , were all fine.
Didn't like Flash or Cyborg. Not a bad storyline but what really spoilt it again was the overabundance of the CGI with a lot of it looking really poor.

I thought Cavill was right for the part, but he was unlucky to be a part of Snyder's vision for the character. Affleck was just a bad choice. ......  I usually don't care for Affleck but I though he was great as Batman, IMO he's the first actor who was convincing as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Also, the warehouse scene in BVS is the most "bad ass" depiction of Batman in any of the movies. |

I thought Affleck was ok as Batman, not as good as Bale in my opinion. I always thought Batman worked best in the movies when you didn't mix him in with the super powered hero's. I don't know, some things work better in comics. Batman, Robin, Batwoman, Batgirl and Catwoman and all the other mentally and physically disfigured villains should be kept in their own universe, and Superman, Green Lantern and The Flash should be in another world. I always pictured Batman and Gotham as a slightly Gothic/macabre twist to our own reality. Superman doesn't belong in that world. My two cents.
