First Image of Jason Momoa as Aquaman

By now we know that Jason Momoa will be taking on the role of Aquaman in the DC cinematic universe, we also know that he will appear in Batman v. Superman in some form, and that he will be getting his own solo film in the coming future. What we didn't know was what this movie incarnation of the character would look like, but now we need not wonder any longer and can get a better idea as to what to expect. Director Zack Snyder revealed the first image of Aquaman giving us the first look at the character.

Snyder revealed the image of the King of Atlantis via his Twitter Account, accompanied by the phrase "There is only one true King". I really liked this image a lot, and think this is the most badass-looking Aquaman we could have asked for. The dark and gritty tone from the image goes along with what we have seen so far from characters like Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot); also what we are expecting from the upcoming films. The tattoos, trident, armor, and what little we can see from the pants with the logo all add a unique and great touch to the character. Some comments I have heard and read say that the look isn't all that loyal to the character because of it lacking blonde hair and the traditional orange and green colors, all of which I personally don't mind at all. The image includes the tagline "Unite the Seven", which according to popular belief  could be in reference either to the seven seas or uniting seven members of the Justice League. The question that comes up is if Zack Snyder just released this image as a simple tease or if this is the beginning of more to come, possibly of other characters like Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Flash (Ezra Miller) who have also already been cast.

Who knows what will come next, for that we will just have to wait and enjoy what we have seen until now. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice opens in theaters on March 25th, 2016. Check out the Aquaman image below.
