Warner Bros. Animation Planning An AQUAMAN Feature?

Warner Bros. Animation Planning An AQUAMAN Feature?

Aquaman was once a character who became famous for being uncool. However, that all changed when master storyteller Geoff Johns got his hands on him in a solo title as part of DC's "The New 52". Well, it now appears as if the character will be getting his own animated feature. Check it out!

As you can see from the Tweet below, Justice League and Aquaman writer Geoff Johns has seemingly confirmed that Arthur Curry will soon be starring in his own - or at least as a major part of - DC animated movie. The Flash was recently given the spotlight in Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and that movie actually introduced an animated version of "The New 52". For that reason, it seems like any movie starring Aquaman will be based on Johns' critically acclaimed run.

sounds good to me. DC Animation is really pushing the pg-13 rating. I'd like to maybe also see a swamp thing animated feature.

Can't say I care much about it - I never get to know much about the character, after all - but it's good to know that they may just give a character like him a chance to shine in the spotlight.

Why do people keep saying the New 52 changed the perception of Aquaman? Aquaman always had fans before the New 52. He just never got love from non comic readers and that aspect still hasn't changed.

I have to say that I am excited about this, as I have been a fan for a very long time. I've had to defend myself in conversations for a long time as well. I'd like to see a Aquaman in the start of the New 52 - if it's done right.

Then again, I like Firestorm as well. Call me "an underdog".

As for the Green Lantern comment, I still find it entertaining.

Flashpoint IS a Flash movie.

Awesome! I really hope the Justice League Origin cartoon starts a new DC universe.

I never got the hate over Aquaman. His left hand can open portals and shit. And he could be utilized really well as an anti-hero to begin with (as the humans have damaged his planet). He could also be the cause of the oil rig explosion in MOS - Idea courtesy of JeremyJahns.

Straight to DVD no doubt. And a Family Guy cross over would be a real treat.

I'm glad they're going with the New 52 Aquaman for this. They need to go with the same Aquaman for the live-action movie.

That's the only way people will take him seriously.

@mbemet I'm under the impression you're not the biggest Geoff Johns fan. ;P

@kevberg Wonder Woman already had an animated movie, but I hope they plan to do more solo animated movies with her.

Aquaman is still being made fun of by the public. The new 52 still hasn't changed how the public sees this character.

Im with it. I like him as the anti hero bad assc like in the recent Flash. And they can totally run with the oil rig explosion line and he can even come on land because of what's going on with Fracking. That'd be an awesome!!!

Since you(clearly) hate DC then why are you on a DC related article?

An Aquaman movie? I do agree, there aren't nearly enough slapstick comedies out these days.

Please if people make gay jokes at Aquaman, think what they'll do to Namor.

Aquaman copycat that stole Spock ears, winged ankles, speedo wearing fruitcake.
