Aquaman (3D blu-ray) 2018 movie set in the DCEU starring Jason Momoa as
Lobo, I mean Aquaman.  Momoa plays Lobo, I mean Aquaman as a loner who
just wants to do his own thing and be The Main Man.  But his half
brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) sets out to unite the underwater kingdoms
by force so he can launch a war against the surface world.  Mera (Amber
Heard) has to convince The Main Man to return to Atlantis, defeat his
brother, and save the day.  But to do this The Main Man will have to
also do battle with Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).  This is one of
the better DCEU movies and it looks great in 3D.

 My problem was that this didn’t seem to have anything to do with the comic
book Aquaman and was actually a prince namor the submariner movie.
 And then when we actually got Prince Namor the submariner in a movie it had
nothing to do with the character either except for the wings on his feet.
 Maybe will actually get Namor in a fantastic four movie?
 Meanwhile, Momoa is actually going to play Lobo.
