Warner Bros. introduced the latest addition to the World of DC, formerly known as the DC Extended Universe, at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Set to introduce the “vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas,” Aquaman tells the story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry as he discovers whether he’s worthy of becoming king.
It’s no secret that Aquaman’s formal introduction into the World of DC with Justice League didn’t go as smoothly as we would have hoped. Frantically trying to resuscitate a dying franchise, DC is attempting to breathe new life into the tarnished World of DC with an origin story. Hopefully people will find the origin story of a man who can talk to fish interesting.
Set to hit theaters December 21, 2018, we will have to see whether Aquaman can redeem himself not only worthy of king, but also worthy of saving the World of DC.
