The recent Aquaman stills that were released by EW provided us a with a glimpse of Black Manta's helmet, but now we have a much better idea of how the villain's entire costume will be depicted in James Wan's upcoming DC movie.

Promo images and videos for statues of Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), Mera (Amber Heard) and The King of Atlantis himself (Jason Momoa) have debuted online via the DC Collectables YouTube channel, and they confirm that, a few small alternations aside, David Hyde's outfit will be about as comic-accurate as you can get.

Aquaman

Image result for image removed


He’s the King of Atlantis, possesses superhuman strength, and a founding member of the Justice League. This fall, he’s coming on land to grace the silver screen. This deluxe polyresin statue puts Aquaman at the ready and is highly detailed to resemble his big screen counterpart in Jason Momoa.

DC Collectibles is not responsible if your fish try to communicate telepathically with this epic piece.

Mera

Mera debuted in the Silver Age of comics and is now headed to the Silver Screen, portrayed with equal parts elegance and toughness by Amber Heard.

This sculpting evokes the dynamic grace of Mera as she emerges from the sea, ready for anything the surface or oceans would put in her way.

Black Manta

While he may lack the Atlantean ability to breathe underwater, the suit more than makes up for it. Black Manta is heavily armed with swords, guns, and optic laser blasts – that’s a deadly arsenal for any villain, let alone one as technologically savvy and strategic as Black Manta.

Meticulously modeled after the film’s design of this legendary villain, this striking and sinister statue will turn heads as Manta brings Doom to the halls of your home or office.

I hope we get an Aquaman costume like the statue. It doesn't need to be that bright but more like the comics and less Justice League is for the best. Still not sold on Momoa but I'll give it a shot. It's not that he's miscast so much as I don't think he's a good enough actor to carry a film that requires him to do more than grunt and kill people like he did in Conan.

@BullyFU - I think (or hope at least) he’ll suprise us. He’s been cast in a lot of roles where he’s just a grunting thug but I think he’s got a tonne of charisma when the role calls for it. I put him in a category with Dwayne Johnson and Schwarzenegger. I hated Justice League but I found all his scenes at least interesting, whereas every time Cavill or Afleck were on screen I felt like a nap.

@BullyFU - We will see it, but it's darker just like Mera's in the pics from the movie.

@connorblaze - I think he'll be more of a Dave Batista. Perfect for certain roles but unable to really be an effective lead that requires him to do more than beat people up. We'll see. I'll give Aquaman a chance because of James Wan. I'm actually intrigued to see Amber Heard also. I know some think she's like a Megan Fox type that relies solely on her looks to get by but she has been good in a few smaller films I've seen where her looks didn't play a part in her role.

I hope these suits are legit. The Aquaman and Black Manta one's look pretty cool.

@RageDriver2401 - manta headpiece doesn’t look like the photo. I like the photo version better... but the statue looks like the young justice version... which is rad

RageDriver2401 - 7/9/2018, 11:57 PM
@CapnMurphy2021 - I feel the other way, I didn't like the photo version much, that looks sort of like a prototype. I like the matte finish version of the statue.

@RageDriver2401 - They are but darker in the movie.

Look I’m sorry... but that classic Aquaman suit is [frick]ing stupid looking. I’m typically very on the side of comic book faithfulness but that costume is just bad. In live action, in the comics, doesn’t matter it looks stupid. I liked the golden armor look of the ancient atlantean king from JL and Momoa’s battle armor look but this just looks dumb

still amazed that Wan went full comic book on this one , i was certain they were gonna marvel that sh!t and give us some "modern" take on it but boy was i wrong

@Krav - everybody looks great in Marvel jackass, what the hell are you talking about. Ironman, cap, Hulk, literally look like their comics

@blitzburgh - whoa whoa, calm down there skippy. Most of Marvel's characters look ripped from the comics, but there are those that don't. Ultron, Vision, Spider-Man, Quicksilver, Scarley Witch, the Guardians of the Galaxy, to name a few. They looked either too different, or too busy.

@blitzburgh - dude WTF.. chill man

@SmokingMan - Not to white knight for marvel but I think they’ve done a pretty good job, the characters you referenced (save for the GoTG, in my opinion) have benefitted from the departure. For example, scarlet witch’s design has largely been ridiculous practically in the comics and vision imo looks better and more like I would imagine an Android (mostly from a texture standpoint) would look than in the comics

@SmokingMan - Spider-Man looks spot on, at least in his first two film appearances. I agree with you on the rest, though.

@SmokingMan - no I understand that but he said he don't want to see them Marvel the suits which makes no sense because Aquaman didn't look straight from the comics that's for sure and Flash never had a piece together suit

Nice classic Aquaman suit! I would say it'll be darker on screen because Mera's costume shots don't look as bright as that statue.

they changed the trident too ? man i can't wait for comic con!!

@Krav - that wasn't the trident what he had in JL.

I think the eyes of Black Manta could be more sleek but it still does look very nice.

So does Mera.

it's nice when someone is able to adapt a design as outrageous as Black Manta's.
and that's a good looking helmet. DC's helmet game is not as strong as Marvel's, but it's a good start.
