I loved the Cartoon Network comercials with Aquaman trying to justify his aquatic telepathy as a super power.

From DC's Aquaman to Marvel's Sub-Mariner, this Prince Namor character has been tossed around in Hollywood a lot, so what is going on what this one? Are we going to see such movie on the big screen or little screen?

Dunno about an Aquaman film (except if someone has the balls to make a JLA film), but a Namor film is being worked on. Dunno where it fits in the schedule of Marvel films though.

Aquaman sucks. Lets face it, he just sits in the corner untill some badguy tries to blow up atlantis. Pfh.

Heh.

Aquaman
Let's face it, Aquaman basically got suck for powers. His major shtick was the whole concentric-ring-exuding fish-control thing which allowed him to draft underwater lifeforms into his own personal war, which of course required the writers of the show to work a major marine disaster into every ensemble piece. This demonstrates a central flaw in including Aquaman on the team: having water-based powers is a pretty serious limitation, along the lines of a hero whose powers only work on weekends. C-

Black Manta
So of course Aquaman's worst enemy is a guy with underwater powers, because if Aquaman's worst enemy had, say, highway overpass powers it wouldn't be much of a show. "Doctor Turnpike has snarled traffic again? What am I supposed to do, tell a couple giant squid to crawl to Ohio and stop him? Call me if there's a tidal wave or something. I'm good with tidal waves. Did you know that the Japanese call them 'tsunami'?" D+

I love Lore.

Well, I would recommend Seanbaby for Aquaman.

You know how sometimes you get upset that the people policing your neighborhood are a bunch of fat donut critics who spend most of their time trying to trick you into speeding tickets? It could be worse. They could be Aquaman. Imagine being in a burning building, and the person sent to rescue you shows up in his underwear on a giant seahorse. Or worse, standing on two flying fish with leashes (above right). But don't worry, while you're burning alive, your rescuer has the fantastic ability to TALK with those fish he's using as shoes. You might as well cover yourself in gasoline and try to get it over with quick.

That's just the begining...

I think they'll get it right. The part is being played by Michael Clark Duncan (John Coffey in The Green Mile, among other roles). The man certainly has the build and presence, and he can act...

I remember kingpin being white but It has been awhile. How can they change that?

He is white. And obese. Marlon Brandow looks more like the Kingpin than the guy from the green mile.

 

[Jeremy]

Heh. Kingpin has never been fat. That's the misconception people have of him that allow him to go toe to toe physically with people who can lift 10 tons like Spidey.

He's that big, and he's solid muscle.

 

[Jeremy]

Oh, and yes, kingpin is white. But that doesn't mean they can't let a black man play him as the movie continuum is different from that of the comics. In the scope of things, that's only a minor change.

Then again, in the Busta Rhymes video Dangerous that was making fun of the Lethal Weapon movie, Busta Rhymes was playing Mel Gibson, and they made him into a somewhat realistic looking white man, so it's possible that they'll use make up with computer touch ups. Who knows...

 

[Umbran]

I severely doubt they'll use anything to make Kingpin caucasian. For one thing, what's acceptable in a bit of parody isn't what's acceptable in a whole movie.

For another - there's not much in the Kingpin's character that requires he be caucasian. He's big, he's a criminal/business genius. The colcor of his skin really isn't relevant, so I think they'll just run with it.
