After years of being a running joke<\/a>, there’s rumblings of big things for DC Comics’ Aquaman<\/a> – possibly even a Warner Bros movie to tie in with the universe that’s beginning to spin-off out of Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel 2<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“He’s a priority character for the company,” Geoff Johns, who reinvented the character and serves as DC’s chief creative officer, told Variety<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

“There is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the most well-known characters among superheroes, and in popular culture.”<\/p>\n

There’s an Aquaman animated movie in the works, but that’s not exactly evidence of “priority” – the DC Animated Universe is a pretty busy place.<\/p>\n

\"Smallville's<\/a>

TV is an option, but the 2006 Aquaman pilot – starring Smallville’s<\/em> Justin Hartley – was as poorly received as David Nutter’s Wonder Woman<\/em>, and as one of DC’s heavy hitters with superhuman strength, endurance, agility and healing, as well as limited telepathy and control of water, he doesn’t seem like a character who’d benefit from an Arrow<\/em><\/a>-style show on The CW.<\/p>\n

Could a live-action movie appearance be on the cards for the monarch of the deep? If so, Man Of Steel 2<\/em> is looking a bit cluttered, with not only the Dark Knight joining the ensemble, but rumours of Nightwing<\/a> and Wonder Woman…<\/a><\/p>\n

Read our review of Man Of Steel<\/em> here<\/a> and our defence of Ben Affleck here<\/a>. Man Of Steel<\/em> is out to own 2 December 2013 – pre-order it on Blu-ray for £18.50<\/a>, DVD for £12.75<\/a> or 3D Blu-ray for £20.50<\/a> from Amazon<\/a>.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n
