This could be the best film in the Justice League franchise. If they make the effort.
Aquaman is a laughing stock and a punchline among comic book characters, but largely among people who don't know anything about him. People don't know what to expect from an Aquaman film. So there's scope for the film makers to do just about anything they want, change people's perceptions of the character, and really reinvigorate him as a pop culture figure.
I'm not saying that this will happen, based on some of the crappy choices that have been made in other DC films, but at least they've gotten off to the right start in terms of casting.
This could be a really fun film, or a completely awful film. Right now there's scope for it to go just about anywhere. I'm curious as to how they'll handle it.
