DCEU Era |OT2| Joker's Wild

Moms are a big part of the DC universe.
Martha Kent is just as important to informing who Clark is as Jonathan.
Arthur and Diana's connection to their mothers needs no explanation.
Barry's motivation for becoming a CSI was his mother's murder.
Black Canary inherited the title from her mother.
The only real outlier in the movies is BvS focusing on Martha Wayne, but to that movie's credit, the Batman mythos usually doesn't care at all about Martha Wayne.
That's something I appreciated about it. Bruce in BvS feels like he got over his father's death but not his mother's, and never truly confronted it.
I think Batman Earth One attempts to explore Martha's side of the family. Have yet to read the second book so don't know if they build on it. But yeah, usually it's all about the Wayne side of the family.
How about we just make it this?
Seriously though, it would make for an apropos OT title:
Aquaman |OT| Take me by the hand, lead me to the land that you understand

I love it. Makes me wish the movie is a love story between Aquaman and Mera
I don't think we're going to see a movie as good as those for a very long time.
Ultimate. The TC is no bueno.
I know ):
It absolutely destroys BvS theatrical.
As someone who sees BvS UE as "good"/solid, but has loads of issues with it, I'd maybe put Aquaman slightly higher.
Nothing has topped MOS for me yet.
Personally I love both BvS and MoS. I hold them in the same regard as TDK, Spider-Man 2, Logan.
I don't really expect to love another CBM that much anytime soon.

At least he's been responsible for casting Momoa and Gadot. He's got that going for him. It's too bad Cavill hated his vision and Affleck had a rough period.
There's certainly elements of it in the film. I really enjoyed their dynamic together.
That doesn't really mean much. Nolan was an executive producer of MoS as well but was pretty much just a marketing tool. He did recommend Snyder to WB at least so there's that!
Yeah, I don't remember the old shows well enough to say they did or not. However, with this new one, if they're putting it in the "News" section, that means it's the real deal. I've watched every episode of DC Daily so far (I skip through stuff I don't care about), but have noticed all the news is very curated to be only true and confirmed stuff.
Atom Tickets is the vendor for the Amazon Prime screening, which still count as pre-sales. Aquaman will do well, but don't read too much into this story.
I actually wouldn't mind him as the new Batman. He's great.
Reposting what I've said on the RT thread, didn't realize that an OT existed before:
I'm honestly legitimately impressed by this film. Momoa is still pretty much rough around the edges and the film weakest link, but I see the potential of him eventually getting better. I need to see it again, but my impression so far is that while the story is indeed the formulaic origin story, it might rivalize Infinity War to me in terms of spectacle.
It's way better than an Aquaman film had any right to be, especially after how atrocious BvS and JL were. It's not the best DC film in the DCEU imho, that's still Wonder Woman, but it's definitely top 3 in my favorite superhero films this year, after Infinity War and Black Panther.
I would rate this a solid 9/10. Also, this is going to breakout and breakout hard. WOM will be insane.

It's cute how Momoa's kids are there doing it with him, along with in movie father Temuera Morrison. The story of Momoa getting Morrison into the movie is cute, too.

Just got back from seeing it. I loved it, I thought it was fantastic from start to finish and depending on a re-watch it might be my favourite DCEU movie. I enjoyed it more than my first watch of Wonder Woman which I also liked a lot. Not quite sure I get the its a mess comments, the whole movie is really straight forward in regards to the plot and flows well at a nice pace. I also loved the adventure-esque feel the movie has, lots of locations and and some of it is just stunning to see.
The action scenes are shot so god damn well and everything is easy to make out under water. The CGI for the most part is just great with only the odd moments here and there making me think that could of looked better but overall it was good stuff. Aquaman, Mera, Manta and Orm were all good to watch and I marked out multiple times. The only other Wan movie I've seen is Fast 7 which I didnt like so this easily surpasses that.
I hope it does well enough to get at least one more movie in this franchise.

Oh are you the first regular to see it?
And glad folks seem to be receiving it well.
Also I need to hear more of The Black Manta and Permission to Come Abroad
Edit
Also the franchise goes down the drain, but I like the first Saw.
And the Conjuring is good stuff.
Manta was awesome. I don't really wanna spoil him tbh not even in spoiler tags. He's not a huge focus but when he is there its all great and he has good motivation.

Yeah the soundtrack surprisingly good considering I hadnt heard much about it beforehand. Reminded me at times of some scifi 80's stuff which was good.
Whenever he's on screen, it feels like they're setting him up for the sequel. It's going to be hype.
I expect VERY strong legs for Aquaman , and I'm calling this now:
Poppins might have her crown stolen this holiday as the biggest movie domestic wise. And yes, I'm going it there. Here's the Schmoes Know spoiler free review:
And I agree very much with them, this is a family blockbuster film. And the spectacle here is something that I don't see how the word of mouth won't be absolutely on fire.

I dont know if its been mentioned but there is a post credit scene, only the one and its right after the fancy CGI credits so no need to stop until the end.
What's the name of the credits song? Wanted to look it up today but couldn't remember it's name.
Thanks. It worked very well with the credits CGI.
I think if I have to pick one thing that really sets Aquaman apart it's how it all just fits together. The music, visual, camera work, acting...Everything is super cohesive and just clicks.
