His first and foremost contribution was bringing Patrick Wilson into the fold, playing King Orm, Arthur’s younger brother and ruler of Atlantis who wants to unite the factions and become Ocean Master. James Wan does an excellent job in this department, choosing what to focus on when it comes to that aspect of the film, thankfully opting out of creating air bubbles anytime someone wants to speak underwater. Yes, Aquaman is an origin story, but being exposed to the character and the world already gives the film a leg up when it comes to exposition, which can be quite heavy-handed in explaining an entire underwater civilization, their powers, methods of communication and technology, etc. As much as I didn’t care for Justice League whatsoever, it did serve an important purpose: introducing a storyline with Aquaman and giving us a glimpse into his character, eliminating the need for an all-out origin story fresh and brand new. That has been the status of DC for quite a while now and as hard as they’ve tried to push through in creating films that seem to skip all the necessary steps in the new incarnation of heroes, it seems as though they’ve finally hit their stride. When you’re consistently having to begin with the origin story over and over, you not only lose audience interest in the same story being told, but more importantly you lose ground with the competition.

The major setback they seem to suffer is the constant reboot of their characters, and not just DC, but Sony and Fox with their collection of comic-book heroes as well.

“AQUAMAN reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean ARTHUR CURRY and takes him on the journey of his lifetime – to discover if he is worth of who he was born to be…a king.”ĭC has a lot of ground to cover in their attempt to rival Marvel Studios, but with Aquaman this is definitely a step in the right direction.
