However , Momoa gave the character a makeover as he infuse his cool " bro " aesthetic into the role . unluckily , Aquaman and the Lost Kingdomhasn’t been a monumental hit like the first , and it could be due to a usual criticism of the hero .

Jason Momoa Warned DC About A Major Aquaman Problem In 2018
Cast
Momoa made a diminished cameo inBatman V. Superman : Dawn of Justicebefore formally debut as Aquaman in 2018’sJustice League . In an interview withEntertainment Weeklyfrom that year , theFast Xactor said he was implicated that Arthur Curry was " too grumpy " in the film as Arthur stand becoming Aquaman . However , the celluloid still had some jokes at his disbursal , includingBen Affleck ’s Bruce Wayne demand Aquaman if he could utter to fish . According to Momoa , he did n’t desire this joke in the film as he believed this would be the only matter audiences would retrieve .
" When we did that inJustice League , I’m like , “ Do n’t put this line in there . Because that ’s all the great unwashed are going to say . Do you want me to make him cool or not ? ”
This is n’t the only metre a joke like this has appeared in the DCEU . Something similar popping up inPeacemaker , although it is a more explicit interlingual rendition . While jokes like this can be odd , it diminishes the seriousness of the character and reverts him into the corny laughable Quran hero that is often parodied in show likeThe Boys . Despite his best effort , Momoa could n’t prevent the DCEU from treating him like a joke , no matter how awesome he was in the role .
The DCU Needs To Make Aquaman Cool Again
Momoa ’s future in the DC Universe could remain awake , but he most in all likelihood wo n’t be playing Aquaman again afterAquaman and the Lost Kingdom . However , Peter Safran and James Gunn must insure that the king of Atlantis is taken seriously in the DCU and is n’t just treated as the guy who can talk to angle . He ’s a crucial member of the Justice League , and if they want mass to be invested in their characters , then they ca n’t just be comedic side characters . Fortunately , Gunn has made audiences shout out over a talking racoon , an humanlike tree , and a giant shark , so he should be able to make Aquaman poise .
