The absence of Aquaman in Justice League: War was a common complain from fans, but through a mid-credits scene, Warner Bros. Animation teased that he would be getting the spotlight very soon. Newsarama has a few new details on an animated movie for the character, which will be a New 52-based origin story. The film will have 'Aquaman' in its title, and the Ocean Master (seen in the War mid-credits scene), also known as Orm, will be played by Sam Witwer (Smallville, Star Wars: The Clone Wars). Expect more details closer to San Diego Comic-Con this July.

The New 52 is definitely the way to go with Aquaman. And Witwer a great choice for Orm!

Aquaman needs a live action adaptation. They can take a B rated superhero, like Marvel did with Iron Man, and make him a star.

LOL When I saw the Title I Assumed this was Live-Action.. Cool News Though. Aquaman has untapped potential.

Considering the ridiculous end scene of the one about Darksied, is anyone surprised by this?

Cool. I still would have introd him in a Wonder Woman movie. Wonder woman should be like Clash of the Titans. She's a demi-god and needs something from Atlantis. Then he comes back in JL movie at WW request for help and joins team or something. Then you could easily do a solo movie on him and get the whole atlantis story.

Please though, no sea horse riding.

I don't really have that much interest in this and it's not because I like Marvel better than DC, it's because of the quality of these films have came to an all time low. Honestly, the stuff DC has been handing us in the animated department has been some shit in my opinion. JL: WAR and Son of Batman, didn't finish watching any of them, and that's a first for me when I watch these films. Here's some advice, I don't know what you did for Batman: Under the Red Hood or The Dark Knight Returns, but do it again, because this New 52 line of films is losing my interest.

I will legit shed manly tears if Momoa isn't cast as Aquaman, it's too perfect.

The New 52 Aquaman would be perfect for a live action film, especially the first arc.

WBs should release this animated movie in theaters.

The first handful of issues, for example, are great because they are aware of the fact that people view Aquaman as a joke. In the first issue Aquaman is actually made fun of. As the arc goes on and on more and more of Aquaman's badass side are shown and the general public of the DC Universe realize he ain't no motherucker joke. Johns handled it great.
