Now that thefirst poke forAquamanhas arrived , it ’s clear just how much the next DC movie will get from the comics . That ’s a heavy plus for comic devotee who were hope to seeJason Momoa in the classic Aquaman suit , or fans of Geoff Johns ' origin story tell in the New 52 .
But the extra clock time and item revealed have fire one question , with implications far beyond oneAquamanmovie . Now that the other undersea kingdoms of Xebel , the Fisherman King , and the Brine have all been revealed , the biggest question surrounding Aquaman marketing can be answered . One enquire ever since Momoa ’s costume was revealed by Zack Snyer with cryptic words plastered over it:“Unite The Seven . "
The " Unite The Seven " tagline is a reference work to Aquaman ’s deputation to link up the seven sea , fine . Just … not the ones citizenry might think . And one of them may threaten to impact the entire DC picture show world .
The Seven Seas = The Kingdoms of Atlantis
The trueness of this saying came as a surprise to Aquaman of the funnies , too . Specifically , the one write personally by Geoff Johns as part of DC ’s New 52 reboot . broadly speaking speaking , the comic shew why Aquaman should be a major player among the Justice League . And would n’t you do it it , the Aquaman motion picture is based on the New 52 origin story in more than a few discernible way . The most obvious being the explanation that theSeven Seas are really Seven Kingdoms from Atlantisthat was . And the film has already revealed a few .
There are the stock Atlanteans who lodge in in Atlantis , the Xebellians ( where Aquaman ’s love life Mera andenemy King Nereushail from ) , and those people lead by therecently reveal Fisherman King(beings evolve nearer to ocean fauna ) . Then there are the Trench , misunderstood beings who go forth like a incubus , necessitating Arthur ’s ascension in the comedian . That ’s already more of the tribes than the comics ever reveal , with Arthur think along with the rest of Atlantis that only they , their enemies the Xebel , and apparently the Trench survive .
Until the last egress in Geoff Johns ' shortened run , when the true statement of the Seven Seas was revealed in a twist most fans still ca n’t believe was never revisited .
The Seven Tribes Of Atlantis Are Alive… Somewhere
TheAquamanmovie is shaping up as a for the most part close adaption of his New 52 introduction : Aquaman facing off against his brother , Orm , who want to engage war on the mainland ( and make questionable alliances to draw it off ) . Aquaman come out on top in the comics eventually , but only after stopping the Dead King Atlan ( reanimated ) in his own quest to take over the world , and rule the Seven Seas once again . When the detritus settled , even his brother had taken to expatriate on nation .
It ’s there that he is approached by Nereus , King of Xebel , with an offer . harmonize to Nereus , he has happen the suffer federation of tribes / kingdoms of Atlantis , and like to lay claim his throne alongside Orm and these rival people who could brook against Aquaman . But their names , places , figure , and even mintage are never prove . Aside from a larger aggregation of seven statues , weapon joined , showing a range of humanoid and aquatic physiology . An range of a function adapted in detail by one of the very first pieces ofAquamanconcept art .
So , secure to assume James Wan is sweep up that same premise and mystery story . We be intimate more about the tribes of Atlantis from the pic than the abandoned funny storyline now , but hey , a mystery solve is always entertaining , no matter the sensitive . Right ?

If done flop , then the upgrade of the Trench , Ocean Master , Black Manta , and the Dead King are all just a warm - up for a new force from Atlantis ' past . The makings of a smash hit trilogy felt across the DCEU if we ever heard it .
