you do realie he is king of atlantis.....which rules all the ocean. He controls 70% of the world.
yeah.. but he controls the lame 70% of the world... all it has is fishes to save, which is important, but its slightly less glamourous then saving lois lane or cat woman.
I think they should cast the actor who played Mr Pink in resovoir dogs for aqua man.

IIRC other sources say this will be more of a cameo role in this film -- perhaps something to do with the Kryptonian terraforming device that did such a number on the Indian Ocean -- presumably to set him up for a larger role in one of the myriad other DC films that we're supposedly, getting.
I think he'll be alright although to me resembles Namor more possibly...?

While he can't fly he is super strong and impervious to a lot of damage, including firearms. He'd probably just knock you out without much effort on land, air, or sea, what with you being a mere human.

I'd boil him and serve him with some nice buttered biscuits. Sorry, super fishboy is stupid. No wonder Batman and Superman make fun of him behind his back. When Catwoman left a dead mackeral in his bed, he cried for week.

Isn't it that if he goes on dry land he dries up and dies after a while?

Still not a glowing account of his abilities. He can punch out normal humans? Big whoop. He can take some slugs from a gun? Big whoop. The same could be said for a nut tripping on PCP. If someone can get similar abilities to a super hero by taking a drug then I am not that impressed with said super hero.*
*I am just yanking on Aquaman fans' chains but he does need something to boost his prestige a bit. Summoning sharks is a good start, but really he needs something like a land shark. Because as some of us know, land sharks are the cleverest of all sharks...

I'm a little surprised that Aquaman will be in JL. First because the character has its baggage. I'm sure they can make it work onscreen, but the baggage is there, especially for non-comics fans as this thread shows.
Second, including him means including Atlantis (assuming a reasonably by-the-book version of the character) in what seemed to be a relatively grounded MoS universe. I know that "grounded" is fairly relative in a world that includes aliens who soak up solar rays to gain enormous powers, magic rings that form shapes out of green energy, etc. Still, somehow an unknown underwater civilization of water-breathing humanoids seems a little more out there than space aliens. Paradise Island/Themyscira is somewhat in the same category, although I also think there are more grounded ways to approach that one.
People around the interwebz seem hung up on the blonde hair thing, but I think Momoa is a great choice if they're going for something like the post-Crisis Aquaman.

In all fairness I was just referring what he would do to Frazz if he wasn't in the ocean, not giving a comprehensive list of abilities.

Only if he didn't shrivel up and die first of course.

I love the New 52 issue where a guy makes fun of Aquaman sucking...and Aquaman puts him through a window. Or where he fights a bunch of Cthuloids mixed with piranhas. New 52 Aquaman=awesome. Pre-New 52=suckage. He's one character that certainly got justice in the reboot (no pun intended).
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

As a note, have you seen how many major cities are located on coasts, rivers, and river deltas? Looks like Arthur Curry has his work cut out for him.
There are a lot of people that live near water.
Aquaman doesn't only look after the oceans, he checks out the rivers too, as they usually drain into the ocean.
