Aquaman will wear a comic precise gold and green suit in his solo motion-picture show , instead of the darker armour that we hear inJustice League- but that does n’t signify Warner Bros. is attempt to retcon the character . Aquamanis the first DC protracted Universe entry since last year’sJustice League , in which Warner Bros. tried to pivot from the grim intensity level and melodrama of Zack Snyder’sMan of SteelandBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justiceto something more unaccented - hearted and fun , bringing inThe Avengersdirector Joss Whedon for lumbering reshoots . However , the end result was reasonably awkward and did n’t really satisfy anyone , with many lover still beg fora " Snyder Cut " of the cinema .
Jason Momoa ’s Arthur Curry was first glimpse in a abbreviated cameo inDawn of Justicebefore joining the squad inJustice League , and while he was n’t given a whole lot to do besides leap into the affray and joyfully beating up Steppenwolf ’s minion , audience generally seemed to like this gruff , toughened , jolty - and - tumble take on Aquaman . In that movie the King of Atlantis woregreen and amber armour , but it was unripened scale tipped with gold rather than the bold prosperous torso and unripened trouser and gloves of the comics . Moreover , because of the movie ’s somewhat muted pallet , the colors did n’t particularly stand out .

So , does Aquaman ’s new wooing mean that the DCEU is trying to retcon the Arthur Curry ofJustice Leagueinto a more kid - friendly , unaccented - hearted adaptation of the superhero ? Well , no . Last yearMomoa said thatthe Arthur Curry we see inJustice Leagueisn’t fully - work yet , and that the squad - up moving-picture show simply establishes a start point for Aquaman ’s eccentric arc in his solo movie :
" It all kind of add up from Zack ’s brain . Aquaman would n’t be here if it was n’t for him … There ’s a lot of bed to this guy and I think once we do get to the solo film you get to see a man who ’s going to take responsibleness and aid the creation and become king finally , so this one , I do n’t really think that he ’s Aquaman - he ’s Arthur Curry , but he has n’t plow with the trident yet and it ’s coming , but just stick with it . For the people like ' that ’s not how Aquaman is , ' just amaze with it a little bit longer . "
While the Sideshow Collectibles figure in Aquaman ’s Graeco-Roman comic Good Book costume show that we will see Aquaman variety from the crapulence and loom Aquabro ofJustice Leagueinto a more noble figure , it also looks like we wo n’t see that edition of the character until the final stage of the movie . Stills fromAquamanhave generally shown Arthur either bare - chested , jade civilian clothes , or in the ceremonial - count armour pictured above . He ’s also hold a quindentrather than his signature trident , which we see him have a bun in the oven in the Collectibles figure , becauseAquamanis actually about Arthur go on a quest tofind King Atlan ’s tridentand prove himself worthy of wielding it .
Unlike the Marvel Cinematic universe , which established fighter in their own solo movies before team them up as the Avengers , the DCEU has been introduce heroes in squad - up movies and then properly lucubrate their characters and backstories in solo motion-picture show later on . The Diana that we saw inWonder Womanwas young and uninstructed - a obtrusive deviation from the cool , collected and confident warrior who seem on the fit inBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice- but they were both very clearly the same fibre , just at dissimilar points in her life . But whereasJustice League ’s Wonder Woman was at a point where she had fully matured , Justice League ’s Aquaman was a cruder and still - organize Arthur Curry .
